Name: Charles Rupprecht OP02 Email: [email protected] Session: Keynote Address: Human Rabies & Prophylaxis Country: United States Title: Rabies in the age of COVID: a complex global tableau in a positive, non-vacuum on current matters arising towards musing productively, collaborating ingeniously & communicating frankly… Authors: Charles E Rupprecht Affiliations: Lyssa LLC, Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA Abstract: Unlike selected other viral diseases, such as smallpox, riderpest, polio, measles, etc., rabies is not a candidate for true eradication. Nevertheless, the global elimination of human rabies caused via dogs (GEHRD) by the year 2030 (ZBT) is accomplishable within our lifetime and is one of the most ambitious plans of this decade. As exemplified by Mexico and most other countries in the Americas, as a regional model, the GEHRD is a feasible plan. Unfortunately, the COVID19 pandemic has affected substantially everyone’s professional and personal lives. While the actual objective, trans- disciplinary impacts upon all NTDs (including rabies) remain to be quantified, already several less than ideal attributes are obvious subjectively, related to time, talent, and treasure. Severe limitations on travel and social distancing requirements have affected the ability to engage directly (e.g., this RITA conference and many others; hands-on laboratory training; community educational outreach; etc.), staff priorities (e.g., zoonoses surveillance; diagnostic testing; canine vaccination; etc.) and policy outlays (e.g., Gavi arrangements for GEHRD; focal biologics production, supplies and distributions; financial support for PAHO/WHO; etc.). Yet, so-called emerging infectious diseases are a force of nature, just like rabies. Rising to this occasion is a clarion call to our collective inventiveness for evidence-based solutions. For example, positively viewed, political ruminations on current implicit disease causation has caused some to question seriously the sense of wildlife markets and the sensibility of dogs for human consumption. Moreover, at least in theory, situational awareness and spatial/temporal separation may lead to a temporary decrease in environmental exposures to rabid animals as well as animal translocations. Rather than isolate, novel health communications can bridge the gap to the ignored, as offered remotely by talk radio, broadcast public service announcements, brochures, loudspeakers, cell phones, social media outlets, etc., will still reach certain populations at risk. Even laboratory ‘wet labs’ could occur on-line, in near real-time or in an archived format (e.g., JoVE). As demonstrated by wildlife biologists and others, decentralized, point-of-care testing can contribute to case detection and program goals. Local canine immunizations should ever more be meticulously planned for the vaccinators and the care givers to their vaccinee, as PPE is now de rigueur. Routine utilization of a proper risk assessment should result in preservation of critical biologics, regardless of a health emergency. Consideration of dose- sparing routes and schedules will stretch vaccine availability. Thorough wound care, triaging and local infiltration of rabies immune globulin/monoclonal antibodies do promote patient survivorship. Beyond academic research, actualization of remote, needless delivery of rabies vaccines, for humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, needs to come to our table today. Coat-tails adaptation of any relevant anti-viral drugs or health care interventions for the severely ill can be re-purposed for the considered therapy of the rabies patient. Any predicted temporary drawbacks to the GEHRD might require a re- evaluation of priorities in both the short and long term, but not abandoned in toto. Decision makers need reminding that epidemiologically, the R0 for rabies is lower than COVID19, whereas predictably, the case fatality is substantially higher. Now more than ever, in this pessimistic perception of the worst of times, the rabies community writ large needs to do what it has always done in a true One Health context, demonstrate to the world that such posed challenges may actually be the best of times using the occasion, expertise and resources in a cost-effective manner to accomplish even more with less towards the task at hand. Name: Huy-Binh Nguyen (presented by Nicholas Hobart-Porter) OP03 Email: [email protected] Session: Human Rabies & Prophylaxis Country: United States Title: Safety and efficacy of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis with human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG150; KEDRAB) and active vaccination in pediatric patients with suspected or confirmed rabies virus exposure: A Phase 4 Open-label Single- Arm Clinical Trial Authors: Nicholas Hobart-Porter, Michal Stein, Naveh Toh, Novinyo Amega, Huy-Binh Nguyen, James Linakis Affiliations: Kedrion Biopharma Inc., Fort Lee, New Jersey, USA Abstract: Rabies is a deadly viral zoonosis with a global disease burden. Following exposure to a rabid animal, post- exposure prophylaxis (PEP) that includes human rabies immunoglobulin has become the standard of care for unvaccinated persons, based on evidence in adults that it prevents death when given appropriately. Despite the large proportion of pediatric cases, limited safety and efficacy data from clinical trials currently exist for use in pediatric patients. We report here the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity results of a phase 4, prospective, two-center, open-label, single-arm clinical trial evaluating the use of a human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG150; KEDRAB 150 IU/ml) as part of PEP in pediatric patients under 17 years of age with suspected or confirmed rabies exposure, in whom PEP was indicated following exposure to a suspected rabid animal. Thirty participants received 20 IU/kg HRIG150 infiltrated into detectable wound site(s), with any remainder injected intramuscularly, concomitantly with the first of a 4-dose (days 0, 3, 7, 14) rabies vaccine series. Rabies virus neutralizing antibody titers and tolerability were assessed on day 14 following administration, and participants were followed for safety up to 84 days in total. Efficacy in preventing rabies disease was 100%, with no (0%) participants developing rabies disease at any time during the study period. No serious adverse events or deaths were recorded. Twenty-one (70.0%) participants experienced 57 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) within 14 days following administration of HRIG150. Twelve (40.0%) participants experienced 12 study treatment-related adverse events, all of which were mild in severity. On day 14, 28 of 30 (93.3%) participants had RVNA levels of ≥0.5 IU/ml (mean ± SD: 18.89 ± 31.61). This study is the first to investigate pediatric safety and efficacy of any rabies immunoglobulin available in the United States, and the data establish safety and efficacy profiles for the pediatric population studied. Name: Gabriela Koike OP04 Email: [email protected] Session: Human Rabies & Prophylaxis Country: Brazil Title: Comparing the glycosylation patterns of IgG1 antibodies induced after pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis Authors: Gabriela Koike, Iana Suly santos Kayz, Elaine Raniero Fernandes, Fernanda Guedes, Sandriana dos Ramos Silva Affiliations: Pasteur Institute, Sao Paulo, Brazil Abstract: Rabies lyssavirus (RABV) neutralizing IgG antibodies confer protection after rabies vaccination, although how the RABV-specific antibodies neutralize the virus is still unknown. As changes in the antibody`s carbohydrate chain can interfere with its effector functions, we compared the glycosylation patterns of both neutralizing and non-neutralizing IgG1 induced by pre-exposure prophylaxis to human rabies and analyzed their influence on in vitro antibody neutralizing activities. Specific IgG1 were purified from human serum using affinity chromatography. Purity and avidity were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and indirect ELISA using NH4SCN respectively. The N-linked oligosaccharide chain of the purified IgG antibody was evaluated using a lectin-based ELISA assay with a panel of seven lectins. Neutralizing activity of purified IgG1 and neutralizing IgG1 deglycosylated by PNGase F enzyme were analyzed using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test. The purified IgG1 showed an electrophoretic pattern compatible with human IgG. All of the antibodies recognized RABV, although neutralizing IgG1 had a higher avidity (RAI =80%) than non-neutralizing IgG1 (RAI=30%). The neutralizing IgG1 also showed higher binding

Ferrocarriles en el Perú: ¿Qué tan importantes fueron? Luis Felipe Zegarra* Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution and main features of the railway system of Peru in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From mid-19th century railroads were considered a promise for achieving progress. Several railroads were then built in Peru, especially in 1850-75 and in 1910-30. With the construction of railroads, Peruvians saved time in travelling and carrying freight. The faster service of railroads did not necessarily come at the cost of higher passenger fares and freight rates. Fares and rates were lower for railroads than for mules, especially for long distances. However, for some routes (especially for short distances with many curves), the traditional system of llamas remained as the lowest pecuniary cost (but also slowest) mode of transportation. Key words: Transportation, railroads, Peru, Latin America. JEL classification: N70, N76, R40. * Luis Felipe Zegarra is PhD in Economics of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

    INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO SMALL PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF TARA (Caesalpinea spinosa) PLANTATIONS WITH A VIEW TO THE REHABILITATION OF WASTE LANDS IN THE SUB-HUMID TROPICS OF THE COASTAL REGION OF PERU SERIAL NUMBER PD 724/13 Rev.1 (F) COMMITTEE REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF PERU ORIGINAL LANGUAGE SPANISH SUMMARY This small project proposal has derived from project PD 583/10 Rev.1 (F), which was implemented to assess the feasibility of restoring arid or sub-humid ecosystems in the southern coastal region of Peru and which has proven to be highly beneficial from an environmental and socioeconomic viewpoint after reforesting 75 hectares with Caesalpinea spinosa in eriaza (waste) lands that previously had no economic or environmental value. As a result of that project phase, it has been possible to develop a new flora and fauna ecosystem of considerable significance and the future outlook of nearly one million hectares in this Peruvian coastal ecosystem has been improved by contributing not only to the socioeconomic development of the region but also to carbon sequestration, increasing CO2 storage levels from 0 to an average 8-10 Mt/ha/year. This is fully consistent with the concepts and strategies of climate change mitigation and rehabilitation of degraded forest lands. This project will be implemented in the Department of Arequipa, Province of Camaná, in Southern Peru. Given its ecological, environmental and socioeconomic conditions, this region is highly significant and representative of tropical semi-arid or sub-humid areas in Peru, where social, economic and environmental alternatives need to be adjusted to the shortage of water for both irrigation and human consumption, so as to generate economic income to help improve the living standards of the rural population.

  • Geosites and Geotouristic Attractions Proposed for the Project Geopark Colca and Volcanoes of Andagua, Peru
    Geoheritage (2018) 10:707–729 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12371-018-0307-y ORIGINAL ARTICLE Geosites and Geotouristic Attractions Proposed for the Project Geopark Colca and Volcanoes of Andagua, Peru Andrzej Gałaś1 & Andrzej Paulo1 & Krzysztof Gaidzik2,3 & Bilberto Zavala4 & Tomasz Kalicki5 & Danitza Churata4 & Slávka Gałaś1 & Jersey Mariño4 Received: 15 July 2016 /Accepted: 18 May 2018 /Published online: 7 June 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract The Colca Canyon (Central Andes, Southern Peru), about 100 km long and 1–3 km deep, forms a magnificent cross section of the Earth’s crust giving insight into mutual relations between lithostratigraphical units, and allowing relatively easy interpretation of the fascinating geological history written in the rocky beds and relief. Current activity of tectonic processes related to the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American Plate exposed the geological heritage within study area. Well- developed tectonic structures present high scientific values. The volcanic landforms in the Valley of the Volcanoes and around the Colca Canyon include lava flows, scoria cones and small lava domes. They represent natural phenomena which gained recognition among tourists, scientists and local people. Studies performed by the Polish Scientific Expedition to Peru since 2003 recognized in area of Colca Canyon and Valley of the Volcanoes high geodiversity, potential for geoturism but also requirements for protectection. The idea of creating geopark gained recently the approval of regional and local authorities with support from the local National Geological Survey (INGEMMET). The Geopark Colca and Volcanoes of Andagua would strengthen the relatively poor system of the protected areas in the Arequipa department, increasing the touristic attractiveness and determine constraints for sustained regional development.

The departments of Arequipa, Ayacucho, Moquegua and Tacna were the most affected by the earthquake. There were 77 people who lost their lives, 2,713 injured, 68 missing, and at least 213,430 persons affected. In addition, it is estimated that 80,000 dwellings were damaged or destroyed. The impact of the earthquake on the community level was devastating, especially because of the numerous adobe buildings. The earthquake also damaged 2,000 hectares of cropland in the coastal province of Camaná used primarily to cultivate onion, squash, potato, corn, wheat and beans. These families also lost their houses and belongings as a tidal wave swept away their community. The original LAPE-12 Appeal was issued on 2 July with a revision on 6 July.

    1ovitatesMhimeuicanJiuseum PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 2 028 MAY 8, 196I Birds of the Western Slope of the Andes of Peru1 BY MARIA KOEPCKE2 INTRODUCTION During the ecological and zoogeographical studies that I undertook with my husband, H.-W. Koepcke, in the course of nine years on the western side ofthe Peruvian Andes, I observed that a considerable num- ber of birds have a more extensive distribution than had been known heretofore. It had not been perceived that several life zones ofnorthwest- ern Peru and western Ecuador, with their special biotopes, extend along the western slope of the Andes to middle Peru and beyond. The most interesting findings seem to be that the humid division of the temperate zone described by Chapman (1926) for Ecuador and northwestern Peru extends at least to middle Peru, split into a chain of "insular woods" (M. Koepcke, 1954, 1957, 1958; H.-W.
