CIAS detection of Fasciola hepatica/F. gigantica intermediate forms in bovines from Bangladesh
2015
Fascioliasis is an important food-borne parasitic zoonosis caused by two trematode species, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. The characterisation and differentiation of Fasciola populations is crucial to control the disease, given the different transmission, epidemiology and pathology characteristics of the two species. Lineal biometric features of adult liver flukes infecting livestock have been studied to characterise and discriminate fasciolids from Bangladesh. An accurate analysis was conducted to phenotypically discriminate between fasciolids from naturally infected bovines (cattle, buffaloes) throughout the country. Morphometric analyses were made with a computer image analys…
DNA multigene characterization of Fasciola hepatica and Lymnaea neotropica and its fascioliasis transmission capacity in Uruguay, with historical cor…
2017
Background Fascioliasis is a pathogenic disease transmitted by lymnaeid snails and recently emerging in humans, in part due to effects of climate changes, anthropogenic environment modifications, import/export and movements of livestock. South America is the continent presenting more human fascioliasis hyperendemic areas and the highest prevalences and intensities known. These scenarios appear mainly linked to altitude areas in Andean countries, whereas lowland areas of non-Andean countries, such as Uruguay, only show sporadic human cases or outbreaks. A study including DNA marker sequencing of fasciolids and lymnaeids, an experimental study of the life cycle in Uruguay, and a review of hum…

"Quels beste ce pooit estre" : Merlin et le bestiaire dans trois Suites du Merlin en prose : d'une poétique du personnage à une poétique du roman
2016
One of the most eminent figures of Arthurian literature, renowned in the Middle Ages as in later periods, Merlin remains however a polymorphous and contradictory character. A study focusing on two aspects will allow us to perceive his ambiguities and to form the poetics of the character. Firstly, from a relational perspective, the bestiary, that is to say the literary fauna, constitutes an element of this definition. In Prose Merlin’s retrospective prose sequels (the “Vulgate” Suite, the “Post-Vulgate” Suite and the Livre d’Artus), romances which constitute the apex of thirteenth century Arthurian texts in prose, this relation axis encounters an intertextual perspective. By its extent and i…

Monstrous Hybrids in Shakespeare’s King Lear
2017
ABSTRACT: This article seeks to present the different languages (emblems, Renaissance translations of classical myths, biblical exegesis) that inform the images of monsters which, as hybrid creatures blending human and animal characteristics, serve a dramatic function in Shakespeare’s King Lear . It means to question the ways in which the play links filial ingratitude with female monstrosity and Lear’s madness. Tracing the classical and medieval lineage of the monstrous bestiary (serpent, tiger, vulture) in King Lear and connecting it to emblematic readings of Shakespeare’s time, it explores how Shakespeare provides a dynamic characterisation of Goneril and Regan through their bestialisatio…
Dal kētos al sēnmurv? Mutazioni iconografiche e transizioni simboliche del kētos dall’Antichità al Medioevo (secolo XIII)
2016
Using literary and iconographic sources the paper discusses the image of kētos from Antiquity to Middle Ages. The kētos, according with Greek literature, was used in the myths of both Perseus and Andromeda and Heracles and Hesione. The archaic images of the sea-monster are identifiable on Corinthian vases, on which we have only heads of leonine form. From 5th century the classical type of kētos is distinguished from all other Greek sea-monsters by a long neck, fins (also like wings), long muzzle and corrugated upper surface (like a crocodile), and leonine forelegs. Separated from histories of Andromeda and Hesione, the kētos is represented as a mount of marine gods and, especially, Nereides…
Violenza, frustrazione, vanità. La visione pessimistica di Leonardo da Vinci nel «Bestiario» e nelle «Favole»
2019
Nel «Bestiario» e nelle «Favole» di Leonardo da Vinci compare a più riprese una visione della realtà e dei rapporti fra gli individui (qui ovviamente simboleggiati dagli animali e dalle piante) caratterizzata da violenza e sopraffazione: aspetti, questi, che provocano sovente un senso di frustrazione (o di impotenza) in chi li subisce, onde si giunge, da parte dello scrittore, a una conclusione pessimistica, improntata alla considerazione della ineluttabile vanità delle cose. Violence, frustration, vanity. The pessimistic vision of Leonardo da Vinci in the «Bestiary» and in the «Fables» · Leonardo da Vinci’s «Bestiary» and «Fables» often show a vision of reality and relationships between in…
Emblemática y bestiarios en El día de fiesta de Juan de Zabaleta
2014
ABSTRACT: This article seeks to compare emblematics with El dia de fiesta (1654/1660) by Juan de Zabaleta, a collection of portraits of manners and characters marked by an encyclopaedic feature that serves the pronounced degree of religious and moral didacticism of the text. It first recapitulates the epistemological basis that Zabaleta has in common with emblematics, namely analogical thinking (Foucault) and the belief in the ‘readability of the world’ (Blumenberg). Subsequently it analyses the allegorical function of certain animals –the panther and the octopus, the ape and the turtle– which Zabaleta refers to as examples of virtues and vices, especially hypocrisy, comparing it to the mea…
