    El crítico de cartelera, productor de textos cortos que oscilan entre el carácter descriptivo, interpretativo y evaluativo, estimuló la utilización de profesionales a cargo de teatro o de música a abordar el desafío de ejercer la crítica de danza, restándole margen de acción a la especialización, que sólo se vislumbra en la última década del siglo pasado, con el fortalecimiento de los brazos académicos. A partir de la segunda mitad de la década del setenta, y especialmente en los años ochenta, la proliferación de la creación coreográfica fue proporcional a la proliferación de espacios en la prensa y los críticos europeos comienzan a ganar visibilidad a la par de los pioneros norteamericanos. Quien escribía de danza expandió su registro de apreciación en proporciones inusuales y, generado este mercado aparece el personaje del crítico de cartelera, figura que también tuvo lugar en la crítica latinoamericana de danza

    Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in 5 dairy sheep farms, with 316 ewes in the vaccinated (V) group and 307 in the control (C) group studied throughout a lactation period. Two administrations of the vaccine were performed during the last stage of gestation of ewes. Starting 15 d after lambing and at monthly intervals thereafter, up to 9 milk samplings were performed for bacteriological and cytological examinations. Staphylococcal isolates recovered were examined for biofilm formation. Blood samples were collected for measurement of IgG poly-N-acetylglucosamine-specific antibodies. The most frequently isolated bacteria were staphylococci: 56.4 and 76.1%, respectively, of total isolates recovered from ewes of group V and C, respectively; staphylococci as causal agents of mastitis were isolated less frequently from V (5.3%) than in ewes in C (10.3%). Among mastitis-associated staphylococcal isolates recovered from V ewes, a smaller proportion was biofilm-forming than among ones from C: 53.2% versus 74.9% of isolates; biofilm-forming staphylococci as causal agents of mastitis were isolated less frequently from ewes in group V (2.3%) than in ewes in group C (6.0%). Anti-poly-N-acetylglucosamine-specific antibody values increased in V ewes and were higher than in C; a greater proportion of ewes with low antibody titers developed staphylococcal mastitis (41.4%) than of V ewes with high antibody titers (17.0%). Incidence risk of mastitis, staphylococcal mastitis, and biofilm-associated staphylococcal mastitis was smaller in V than in C: 36.7, 17.1, and 8.0% versus 44.3, 30.9, and 18.9%, respectively. The first case of staphylococcal mastitis occurred later in V than in C: third versus second sampling point. Overall, efficacy of the vaccine was 44.6% for staphylococcal mastitis, 57.7% for biofilm-associated staphylococcal mastitis, 33.1% for staphylococcal intramammary infection, and 51.5% for biofilm-associated staphylococcal intramammary infection. Nevertheless, vaccination should not be the only means for controlling mastitis; other udder health management measures should be included therein to improve control of the infection. © 2019 American Dairy Science Associatio
