Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease, that in the Iberian peninsula is caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum and transmitted mainly by the phlebotomine sand fly vector Phlebotomus perniciosus. The main reservoir of the parasite is the dog, although it also affects other animals, including humans. The spatial distribution of the vector in Torrelodones (Madrid, Spain) has been analyzed using geographic information systems (GIS). The presence of Sergentomyia minuta (54.4%) and P. perniciosus (45.6%) has been confirmed. The highest vector density was recorded near the animal shelter. A statistical analysis of the association between sand flies density and macro- and microclimatic variables shows a significant negative correlation between vector density and high precipitation and temperature values. These data will allow the development of containment protocols for phlebotomine sand fly populations, elaborating multifactorial control plans based on vector control systems and divulgation through environmental education projects.

According to successful experiences with the implementation of Virtual Learning Environments (AVA), we have this model to support the orientation of the process of training and applied research in seed research. This pilot test began with a group of leaders and members of the seedbed Phoenix, belonging to Uniminuto, Soacha Regional Center, has spent six months in the training process research as part of their professional practice. To bring this process to a high level, these students presented for the period 2016 2 of degree project presentation mode and research. The support consists in organizing four units to give a guideline to the research process, a poster and a presentation for events at local, national and international levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

José Gregorio Hernández's mission, a new paradigm in the quality of life of the country, has been valued for it's social benefits to the people of Venezuela who have been affected by disabilities. In this work, a new theory has been reflected: the contribution of instilling values in the students of the Program of Communitarian Integral Medicine Formation in the Bolívar Alternative for the Americas. The student-teacher participation in José Gregorio Hernández's mission, strengthens the educative formation of the students of the programme in love of the profession, humanitarianism, solidarity, responsibility, creativity and justice.
