IBER-XYFAS - Ibero-American network for the surveillance of Xylella fastidiosa

Trabajo presentado en el Congress of Microbiology and Biotechnology (Microbiotec 19), celebrado en Coimbra del 5 al 7 de diciembre de 2019.Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of various plant diseases that continuously challenge agroforestry production causing significant losses to European and American countries. IBER-XYFAS is an international network of research groups, agrofood companies and regional governments, financed by CYTED that aims gather all available data on the bacterium, on its vectors, on the crops affected in Ibero-American countries and on the prevention and control activities that are being carried out. The specific objectives of the network will focus on the following work packages: P1) Information on the bacterium; P2) Information on transmission vectors; P3) Information on the interaction of the bacteria with the plant; P4) Information on therapies; P5) Information on remote sensing methodologies; P6) Information on the environmental, social and economic impact of diseases and control measures. The purpose of the information exchange is to generate knowledge that will contribute to the development of a technological alert and surveillance system that will enable local or national governments to take the necessary measures to continue, contain and ultimately eradicate the disease. The main outputs of IBER-XYFAS are: to promote the scientific and technological integration of the Ibero-American region and the effective transfer of knowledge and technologies; to encourage the participation of researchers from the Ibero-American region in other programs and the active participation of different actors in the control of the disease; to promote the development of effective transfer activities to small producers and vulnerable sectors; to contribute to the improvement of the social perception of R+D+I and its results; to promote the improvement of production through the integration of technological and economic aspects; to design technological protocols for the control of the disease

"Ciência de potes quebrados": nação e região na arqueologia brasileira do século XIX

The paper explores distinct expectations created in different places and institutions with the archaeological discoveries taken place in Brazilian territory in the second half of 19th century. By means of a case study about the professional trajectory of Domingos Soares Ferreira Penna (1818-1888), founder of Museu Paraense in 1866 and traveling naturalist of Brazilian Museu Nacional between 1872 and 1884, the present article reconstructs the origins of scientific debates and disputes over the Amazonian archaeological heritage, in great evidence at that time, due to discoveries of pre-historic sites at Marajó Island, in the State of Pará. The intention is to demonstrate how the discourse about national identity, broadly used by the director of the Brazilian Museu Nacional, Ladislau de Souza Mello Netto (1838-1894), overshadowed political divergence and had little repercussion among Brazilian provinces that were building, at the time, their respective regional identities and historical narratives - to which archaeological evidences were equally fundamental
