Conocimiento Local Cultivo De La Papa
Publicación realizada en conmemoración al Año Internacional de la Papa - 2008 Freddy Canqui Eddy Morales Instituciones Financiadoras Conocimiento Local Instituciones Responsables en el Cultivo de la Papa Presentación El cultivo de la papa es una actividad milenaria que ha sido, es y seguirá siendo, parte fundamental de la vida de las comunidades andinas. Haciendo un recorrido por la región del Altiplano Norte, el libro de Freddy Canqui y Eddy Morales se acerca a la cadena productiva de la papa a través de la vivencia cotidiana de 10 familias productoras de este milenario tubérculo. Es importante reconocer que el cultivo de la papa está íntimamente sujeto a la cosmovisión andina y a lo sagrado, haciendo parte relevante la relación del ser humano con su tierra y su comunidad. El libro revela el conocimiento local que mujeres y hombres del Altiplano Norte fueron construyendo año tras año, siendo éste transmitido de generación en generación. “Conocimiento Local en el Cultivo de la Papa” es un libro de gran aporte al presentar panoramas de la vida de productores, mostrando la estructura, roles y funciones de los miembros de las familias alrededor del cultivo de la papa. El libro visibiliza la gran importancia de los saberes locales y del apoyo de instituciones ligadas al desarrollo para el progreso de sus comunidades, ello a través de la implementación de tecnologías que mejoran los sistemas de producción en torno al cultivo de la papa. Por todo lo descrito, la Embajada Real de Dinamarca (DANIDA) y la Agencia Suiza para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación (COSUDE) se sienten complacidos por contribuir a tan interesante documento. -
Municipio De Patacamaya (Agosto 2002 - Enero 2003) 52
Municipio de Patacamaya (Agosto 2002 - enero 2003) Diario de Ángela Copaja En agosto Donde Ángela conoce, antes que nada, el esplendor y derro- che de las fiestas en Patacamaya, y luego se instala para comenzar a trabajar JUEVES 8. Hoy fue mi primer día, estaba histérica, anoche casi no pude dormir y esta mañana tuve que madrugar para tomar la flota y estar en la Alcaldía a las 8:30 a.m. El horario normal es a las 8:00 de la mañana, pero el intenso frío que se viene registrando obligó a instaurar un horario de invierno (que se acaba esta semana). Vine con mi mamá, tomamos la flota a Oruro de las 6:30, llegamos a Patacamaya casi a las ocho y media, y como ya era tarde, tuvimos que tomar un taxi (no sabía que habían por aquí) para llegar a la Al- caldía, pues queda lejos de la carretera. Después de dejarme en mi "trabajo" se fue a buscarme un cuarto, donde se supone me iba a quedar esa noche, pues 51 traje conmigo algunas cosas; me quedaré hoy (jueves) y mañana (viernes) me vuelvo yo solita a La Paz. Ya en la oficina tuve que esperar a que llegara el Profesor Celso (Director de la Dirección Técnica y de Planificación) para que me presentara al Alcalde. Me Revista número 13 • Diciembre 2003 condujo hasta la oficina y me presentó al Profesor Gregorio, el Oficial Mayor, un señor bastante serio que me dio hartísimo miedo pues me trató de una forma muy tosca. Él me presentó al Alcalde, que me dio la bienvenida al Mu- nicipio de Patacamaya muy amablemente. -

Dolores Bargues1*, Patricio Artigas1, Rene Angles2, David Osca1, Pamela Duran1, Paola Buchon3, R. Karina Gonzales‑Pomar3, Julio Pinto‑Mendieta3 and Santiago Mas‑Coma1 Abstract Background: Fascioliasis is a snail‑borne zoonotic trematodiasis emerging due to climate changes, anthropogenic environment modifcations, and livestock movements. Many areas where Fasciola hepatica is endemic in humans have been described in Latin America altitude areas. Highest prevalences and intensities were reported from four provinces of the northern Bolivian Altiplano, where preventive chemotherapy is ongoing. New strategies are now incorporated to decrease infection/re‑infection risk, assessment of human infection sources to enable efcient prevention measures, and additionally a One Health initiative in a selected zone. Subsequent extension of these pilot interventions to the remaining Altiplano is key. Methods: To verify reproducibility throughout, 133 specimens from 25 lymnaeid populations representative of the whole Altiplano, and 11 used for population dynamics studies, were analyzed by rDNA ITS2 and ITS1 and mtDNA cox1 and 16S sequencing to assess their classifcation, variability and geographical spread. Results: Lymnaeid populations proved to belong to a monomorphic group, Galba truncatula. Only a single cox1 mutation was found in a local population. Two cox1 haplotypes were new. Comparisons of transmission foci data from the 1990’s with those of 2018 demonstrated an endemic area expansion. -

Coca-Morante1* and W. Castillo-Plata2 1 Facultad de Ciencias Agrícolas, Pecuarias, Forestales y Veterinarias. Dr. «Martín Cárdenas» (FCA, P, F y V). Universidad Mayor de San Simón (UMSS). Casilla 1044. Cochabamba. Bolivia 2 Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo (MEDA). Cochabamba. Bolivia Abstract The Department of La Paz has the largest number of wild potato species (Solanum Section Petota Solanaceae) in Bolivia, some of which are rare and threatened by extinction. Solanum achacachense, S. candolleanum, S. circaeifolium, S. okadae, S. soestii and S. virgultorum were all searched for in their type localities and new areas. Isolated specimens of S. achacachense were found in its type localities, while S. candolleanum was found in low density populations. Solanum circaeifolium was also found as isolated specimens or in low density populations in its type localities, but also in new areas. Solanum soestii and S. okadae were found in small, isolated populations. No specimen of S. virgultorum was found at all. The majority of the wild species searched for suffered the attack of pathogenic fungi. Interviews with local farmers revealed the main factors negatively affecting these species to be loss of habitat through urbanization and the use of the land for agriculture and forestry. -

Research and Reviews in Parasitology, 57 (2): 71-83. ABSTRACT:Coprological surveys were carried out to study Fasciola hepatica infection in 5491 cattle from II zones and 107communities on the Bolivian Altiplano, where the highest prevalences and intensities in human subjects have been found. The research work had the aim of contribu- ting to the knowledge about the geographical distribution of the liver fluke and the epidemiological reservoir host role of bovines in the transmis- sion of the disease in this endemic area. According to the results obtained, the parasite is present throughout almost all the Northern Bolivian Alti- pIano, but it does not extend toward the Central Bolivian Altiplano, in the South.The total prevalence found in cattle of the Northern Bolivian Altiplano was 16,5%.
