Spirocercosis ganglionar. Localización ectópica en cánidos de la provincia de Cáceres

Se presentan seis casos de Spirocercosis por Spirocerca lupi, cinco de ellos en zorros y uno en perro. Junto al proceso parasitario evidenciado, el cual se muestra de gran patogenicidad en los animales objeto de estudio, se denuncia la localización ectópica, o al menos atípica, de dicha observación, al encontrarse los parásitos, en la totalidad de los casos, en ganglios linfáticos, siendo, sin embargo, citados por la práctica totalidad de autores en localizaciones esofágicas o gástricas únicamente.In this work we present six cases of spirocercosis, produted by Spirocerca lupi. Five of them were found in red fox and only one in dog. Together to parasitic process, which shown high patogenicity, this study attempts to emphasize the atypic location of parasites in lymphatic nades, observed in 100% of studied hosts. Nevertheless, practically all of consulted authors noted stomach and oesophagous, as unic locations for adults of S. lupi.peerReviewe

Improved strain engineering of 2D materials by adamantane plasma polymer encapsulation

Two-dimensional materials present exceptional crystal elasticity and provide an ideal platform to tune electrical and optical properties through the application of strain. Here we extend recent research on strain engineering in monolayer molybdenum disulfide using an adamantane plasma polymer pinning layer to achieve unprecedented crystal strains of 2.8%. Using micro-reflectance spectroscopy, we report maximum strain gauge factors of −99.5 meV/% and −63.5 meV/% for the A and B exciton of monolayer MoS, respectively, with a 50 nm adamantane capping layer. These results are corroborated with photoluminescence and Raman measurements on the same samples. Taken together, our results indicate that adamantane polymer is an exceptional capping layer to transfer substrate-induced strain to a 2D layer and achieve higher levels of crystal strain
