    Impacts of International Immigrants’ Capitals on Neo-Endogenous Rural Development in the French and Spanish Pyrenees

    No full text
    Este artículo examina la relación entre el desarrollo rural y la inmigración internacional en los Pirineos, poniendo el énfasis en un enfoque neoendógeno que tenga en cuenta los beneficios de la inmigración. Basado en un proyecto financiado con fondos europeos, el estudio utilizó métodos cualitativos y estudios de caso en zonas rurales de los Pirineos de Girona y Huesca (España) y los Pirineos Orientales (Francia), a partir de un trabajo de campo realizado en 2022. Los hallazgos muestran que algunos empresarios o emprendedores inmigrantes crean negocios a pequeña escala que, a pesar de su impacto económico limitado, enriquecen el tejido cultural y social de las áreas rurales, a partir de conocimientos, habilidades e ideas nuevas que permiten abordar los desafíos rurales. Estos inmigrantes valoran particularmente la cultura y los paisajes locales, fomentando la sostenibilidad y el sentido de pertenencia a la comunidad. A pesar del limitado apoyo institucional, el artículo sostiene que la inmigración internacional puede ayudar a construir comunidades rurales inclusivas, resilientes y sostenibles a través de la colaboración y la diversidad localesThis article examines the relationship between rural development and international immigration in the Pyrenees, highlighting a neo-endogenous approach that leverages immigration's benefits. Grounded in a European-funded project, the research used qualitative methods and case studies in rural areas of the Girona and Huesca Pyrenees (Spain) and Pyrénées-Orientales (France), in a fieldwork conducted in 2022. Findings show that some immigrant entrepreneurs create small-scale businesses with limited economic impact, but enrich the cultural and social fabric, introducing new skills and ideas for addressing rural challenges. These immigrants particularly value local culture and landscapes, fostering sustainability and community. Despite limited institutional support, the article argues that international immigration can help build inclusive, resilient, and sustainable rural communities through local collaboration and diversity.170,415Q2ESCI9,6ERIH PLU

    Reevaluating doxycycline dosage in canine heartworm disease: isless more?

    Several aspects of heartworm disease adulticide treatment require further investigation, particularly regarding Wolbachia pipientis elimination. This study evaluated the acute phase response, specifically C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and anti-Wolbachia surface protein (r-WSP) antibody response, before (D0) and after (D30) treatment with oral ivermectin (6-12 μg/kg, monthly) and doxycycline for 30 days at three dosages: Group A (n=10, 10 mg/kg BID), Group B (n=16, 10 mg/kg SID), and Group C (n=13, 5 mg/kg BID). CRP concentrations were generally elevatedat D0 (Group A: 15.3±22.7 mg/L; Group B: 27.6±45.3 mg/L; Group C: 13.9±14.2 mg/L) and slightly decreased at D30 except in Group A (Group A: 25.9±63.3 mg/L; Group B: 17.7±15.7 mg/L; Group C: 12±9.4 mg/L). Anti-rWSP antibody response remained stable in Group A but significantly increased in Groups B and C at D30 (p<0.05). The increase in anti-WSP antibody optical densities may result from Wolbachia release during microfilarial death following ivermectin administration at D0 in microfilaremic dogs. Additionally, lower doxycycline doses in Groups B and C may have resulted in a minor Wolbachia reduction over 30 days. Also, it should be noted that the immune response is not well known and the serological persistence of these antibodies is unknown. Elevated CRP values at D0 confirm the strong inflammatory component of heartworm disease. By D30, slight CRP reductions in Groups B and C suggest decreased vascular inflammation due to Wolbachia elimination and microfilariae reduction. However, Group A showed increased CRP levels at D30, which may be due to other inflammatory factors or spontaneous adult worm death induced by antibiotic and macrocyclic lactone treatment. These findings support previous studies suggesting lower doxycycline doses may be sufficient for Wolbachia elimination in Dirofilaria immitis-infected dogs, and encourage further studies in this line of research.7473
