Ten years of collaboration between France and Japan - Studies on reproduction in Japanese macaques by Cécile Garcia, Fred Bercovitch, Takeshi Furuichi, Michael A Huffman, Andrew MacInstosh, Lucie Rigaill, Rafaela S C Takeshita, Keiko Shimizu

“…We suggested, in particular, that females advertized their pregnancy through changes in behavioral, visual, and potentially auditory signals, and that males use these signals to adjust their mating behaviors and avoid wasting energy on non-reproductive copulations. This holistic study, combining fieldwork and laboratory experiments, and using a multidisciplinary approach (behavioral observations (sexual interactions), digital photography (visual scoring of female sexual skin color), hormonal (fecal ovarian steroids) and chemical data (components of female vaginal secretions)) allowed us to assess how different signals may combine to influence patterns of primate mate choices.…”

SÍNDROME DE EMACIACIÓN POSDESTETE PORCINO: ASPECTOS EPIDEMIOLÓGICOS by CA Díaz, J Jaime, V Vera, N Rodríguez, GA Casas, JD Mogollón

“…el propósito de este trabajo fue revisar los aspectos relacionados con el síndrome de ema-ciación posdestete (Postweaning Multysistemic Wasting syndrome, PMWs) enfatizando en sus características epidemiológicas. el PMWs pertenece a un grupo de enfermedades asociadas al Circovirus porcino tipo 2 (PCvd), cuya presentación podría relacionarse con otro agente infeccioso aún no identificado o con la interacción de múltiples factores vincu-lados con el manejo zootécnico y con la presencia de otros agentes infecciosos. el patrón epidemiológico de la enfermedad no está claramente definido pero se ha observado que la infección con PCv2 dentro de la población porcina sigue un curso enzoótico, mientras que el desarrollo del PMWs genera una presentación epizoótica. se han reportado tan-to la transmisión vertical como la horizontal, pero el impacto sobre el desarrollo de los animales podría involucrar, además del PCv2, otras etiologías. …”
