  • Major Soils of Bella Union Area in Northwestern Uruguay1
    Major Soils of Bella Union Area in Northwestern Uruguay1 M.A. Lugo-L6pez, Juan P. Carnelli, G. Acevedo and L. H. Riuera2 ABSTRACT The soils of the area of Bella Union are deep, of high inherent fertility, and can hold and supply sufficient amounts of water to a growing crop. They are mostly sandy clay loams and clay loams. Soil pH varies between 5.2 and 6.4. Some 38% of the soils have drainage problems mostly because of underlying impervious layers dominated by montmorillonitic clays. Irrigation and drainage are essential to guarantee high levels of crop production. Erosion can be a problem in some of the soils if they are not adequately protected. The use of open drains of suitable depth and spacing will help to maintain an optimum environment for the crops and, if well designed, can also help to minimize soil erosion. INTRODUCTION The area around Bella Union, in northwestern Uruguay, offers excep­ tional opportunities for crop production and livestock raising under adequate management. Bella Union is located at lat. 30°19' S and long. 57°34' W at the frontiers with Brazil and Argentina. Bella Union is 640 km from Montevideo and 140 km from both Artigas, capital city of the Department, and Saito, the nearest towns with airports. There are railroad connections between Bella Union and Montevideo. However, the network of rural roads is poor and transportation costs of sugarcane, livestock, other produce and fertilizer are high. In the Bella Union area, there are around 10,000 inhabitants; about one-half of them in rural areas.

  • 1 Regional Project/Programme
    REGIONAL PROJECT/PROGRAMME PROPOSAL PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMME INFORMATION Climate change adaptation in vulnerable coastal cities and ecosystems of the Uruguay River. Countries: Argentina Republic and Oriental Republic of Uruguay Thematic Focal Area1: Disaster risk reduction and early warning systems Type of Implementing Entity: Regional Implementing Entity (RIE) Implementing Entity: CAF – Corporación Andina de Fomento (Latin American Development Bank) Executing Entities: Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Argentina and Ministry of Housing, Land Planning and Environment of Uruguay. Amount of Financing 13.999.996 USD (in U.S Dollars Equivalent) Requested: 1 Project / Programme Background and Context: 1.1. Problem to be addressed – regional perspective 1. The Project’s implementation is focused on the lower Uruguay river´s littoral area, specifically in the vulnerable coastal cities and ecosystems in both Argentinean and Uruguayan territories. The lower Uruguay river´s littoral plays a main role being a structuring element for territorial balance since most cities and port-cities are located in it, with borther bridges between the two countries (Fray Bentos – Gualeguaychú; Paysandú – Colón; and Salto – Concordia). The basin of the Uruguay river occupies part of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, with a total area of approximately 339.000 Km2 and an average flow rate of 4.500 m3 s-1. It´s origin is located in Serra do Mar (Brazil), and runs for 1.800 Km until it reaches Río de la Plata. A 32% of its course flows through Brazilian territory, 38% forms the Brazil-Argentina boundary and a 30% forms the Argentina-Uruguay boundary. 2. The Project’s area topography is characterized by a homogeneous landform without high elevations, creating meandric waterways, making it highly vulnerable to floods as one of its main hydro-climatic threats, which has been exacerbated by the effects of climate change (CC).

  • Like a Grain of Mustard Seed
    1 LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED 14th Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies August 2018 Mirtha Elizabeth Coitinho Machiarena 2 The Methodist Church in Uruguay1 The Methodist Church in Uruguay (IMU),2 is an autonomous church organized at national level, with its own authorities. The highest authority is the General Assembly which every four years chooses the President, Vice-president and the rest of the National Board integrated by pastors and lays. These National Board supervises the whole Church. “Besides its one thousand members there is a wider community of about two thousand people who are related to the Church” in one way or another.3 IMU adopted the system of a President as a leader instead of the episcopal tradition. The position is open to clergy as well as lay members. Women are able to be ordained. The Church has also “decided that pastors that wish to minister to homosexuals could do so freely.”.4 From its beginnings to these days, the Methodist Church has had an active role in society through the Press, radio,5 books and magazines, concerts, Sexual Diversity groups, medical clinics, pre-school nurseries, work with people with differently abled, universities, workshops against domestic violence, the creation of Hospital Evangélico, National Federation of Youth, Federation of Protestant Churches, etc. “Ecumenical relationships6 and projects are an inseparable part of the church, nationally and internationally, providing leadership to the world church (i.e. Emilio Castro, former secretary of the WCC).” 7 1 Uruguay, formally the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, is a small South American country located at the southern part of the continent bordered by Brazil and Argentina, with Río de la Plata to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.

The implementation area of the Project is focused in the littoral area of the Uruguay River, including vulnerable coastal cities and ecosystems of the Argentinean and Uruguayan territories. The Uruguay River has a main role for being a territorial structurator for the region since in its margins we can find a number of cities, port-cities, andwith a direct physical relation through binational bridges communicating both Argentina and Uruguay (Fray Bentos – Gualeguaychú; Paysandú – Colón; Salto – Concordia). Rio Uruguay, has an approximately area of339.000 Km2and has an average flow of 4.500 m3 s-1. It´s origins are in Sierra do Mar (Brazil), and runs for 1.800 Km until it flows into the Río de la Plata estuary, a 30% forms the border between Argentina and Uruguay. The region’s weather is mild and rainy; being the Uruguay’s river big catchment area in zones where 2.000 mm. 2. Due to the more frequent and severe storms and floods, exacerbated by CC, which bring stronger effects on the population, damages to infrastructure and great economic losses, it is utmost important to manage and orientate the adaptation process in the local and regional l evels by policies and plans that consider the CC perspectives and the communities and ecosystem’s vulnerability.

  • A New Species of Gymnogeophagus Miranda Ribeiro from Uruguay (Teleostei: Cichliformes)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 14(1): e150082, 2016 Journal homepage: www.scielo.br/ni DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20150082 Published online: 07 April 2016 (ISSN 1982-0224) A new species of Gymnogeophagus Miranda Ribeiro from Uruguay (Teleostei: Cichliformes) Marcelo Loureiro1,2, Matías Zarucki1, Luiz R. Malabarba3 and Iván González-Bergonzoni1 We describe a new species of a substrate-brooding Gymnogeophagus, based on coloration characters. The new species can be distinguished from the remaining substrate-brooding species in the genus by the unique pigmentation of the dorsal fin which consists of light blue, diagonal stripes over a red background in the spiny section and a combination of round, elliptic, and elongated bright blue spots over a red background in the soft section. It can be further distinguished from all other species of Gymnogeophagus by the following combination of characters: a discontinuous bright blue band above the upper lateral line in the humeral area, light blue roundish spots over a red to orange background on the anal fin, and conspicuous bright blue horizontal bands on body. The new species inhabits a wide range of freshwater habitats in the lower rio Uruguay basin, Rio de la Plata coastal drainages and Atlantic Ocean coastal drainages in Uruguay. Describimos una nueva especie de Gymnogeophagus con incubación de sustrato, en base a caracteres cromáticos. La nueva especie puede ser diferenciada de las restantes especies del género por la exclusiva pigmentación de la aleta dorsal, la que consiste de bandas oblicuas de color celeste sobre fondo rojo en la porción espinosa y una combinación de manchas redondas, elípticas, o alargadas azul brillantes sobre fondo rojo en la porción blanda.

  • (Cochliomyia Hominivorax) Myiasis in Feral Swine of Uruguay: One Health and Transboundary Disease Implications Martín Altuna1, Paul V
    Altuna et al. Parasites Vectors (2021) 14:26 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04499-z Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) myiasis in feral swine of Uruguay: One Health and transboundary disease implications Martín Altuna1, Paul V. Hickner2, Gustavo Castro1, Santiago Mirazo1, Adalberto A. Pérez de León2 and Alex P. Arp2* Abstract Background: Feral swine (Sus scrofa) are highly invasive and threaten animal and human health in the Americas. The screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) is listed by the World Organization for Animal Health as a notifable infestation because myiasis cases afect livestock, wildlife, and humans in endemic areas, and outbreaks can have major socio- economic consequences in regions where the screwworm has been eradicated. However, a knowledge gap exists on screwworm infestation of feral swine in South America, where the screwworm is endemic. Here, we report screw- worm infestation of feral swine harvested in Artigas Department (Uruguay), where the Republic of Uruguay shares borders with Brazil and Argentina. Methods: Myiasis caused by the larvae of screwworm were identifed in feral swine with the support and collabo- ration of members of a local feral swine hunting club over a 3-year period in the Department of Artigas. Harvested feral swine were examined for the presence of lesions where maggots causing the myiasis could be sampled and processed for taxonomic identifcation. The sites of myiasis on the body of infested feral swine and geospatial data for each case were recorded. The sex and relative size of each feral swine were also recorded. Temperature and precipita- tion profles for the region were obtained from public sources.
