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.

YELLOW FEVER IN THE AMERICAS by 1 2 7 Thomas P. Monath, M.D. Chief, Vector-Borne Diseases Division Center for Disease Control Ft. Collins, Colorado Efforts to eradicate Aedes aegypti during the first 30 years of this century resulted in the virtual disappearance of urban epidemics of yellow fever but uncovered the underlying sylvan transmission cycle. Since 1930, only 14 epidemics of urban yellow fever have occurred; each followed introduction of the virus from a juxtaposed jungle focus, and none resulted in a continuing endemic presence. The last outbreak was recorded in Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1954. Since 1930, the annual incidence of human cases of jungle yellow fever has been low and fairly constant. Periodically an increase in virus activity is manifested by cases clustered in time and space within the endemic zone. A few epidemics have broached the boundaries of the endemic wet forests of South America, extending into Argentina to the south or into Central America to the north. Yellow fever virus is endemic in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia, in forested and sparsely-populated areas under limited cultivation, drained by tributaries of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers. The incidence of cases in the last five years, reflecting only the activity of yellow fever in its sylvan cycle, is shown in Table 1. Brazil. Yellow fever cases are sporadically recognized in the states of Para, Amazonas, Acre, Mato Grosso, Goias, and in the territories of Roraima and Rondoma.

French, Supervisor ___________________________ Jocelyn H. Olcott ___________________________ Peter Sigal ___________________________ Orin Starn ___________________________ Dirk Bönker An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2012 Copyright by Elizabeth Shesko 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines the trajectory of military conscription in Bolivia from Liberals’ imposition of this obligation after coming to power in 1899 to the eve of revolution in 1952. Conscription is an ideal fulcrum for understanding the changing balance between state and society because it was central to their relationship during this period. The lens of military service thus alters our understandings of methods of rule, practices of authority, and ideas about citizenship in and belonging to the Bolivian nation. In eliminating the possibility of purchasing replacements and exemptions for tribute-paying Indians, Liberals brought into the barracks both literate men who were formal citizens and the non-citizens who made up the vast majority of the population.

INTRODUCTION As anthropologists have become more explicitly concerned with the "political ecology" of production (e.g., Hjort 1982; Schmink and Wood 1987; Wolf 1972), it has become apparent that the social and economic relations that define the conditions of production play a central role in how people use natural resources. Indeed, they define which citical natural resources to control in a particular time and place, as well as who will have access to those resources and under what conditions. When access to critical natural resources is restricted so that people become relatively or absolutely poorer, for example, people tend to become more extensive in their use of land, and to use land more destructively, deforesting larger areas in tropical lowlands and doing less (o maintain soil fc.rtility generally (Collins 1986, 1987).
