La bande dessinée francophone dans l’entre-deux. De ce treizième numéro by Adela Cortijo Talavera

“…La bande dessinée semble difficile à classer : à cause précisément de sa nature hybride, elle est définie comme un objet culturel non identifié – un OCNI, comme dirait Thierry Groensteen dans Un objet culturel non identifié – qui, en outre, depuis ses origines au XIXe siècle, a été, à maintes reprises, abordé ou observé avec mépris en raison de son caractère « impur » et « monstrueux », monstruosité qui, en fait, est un atout par le mélange apparemment honteux du logos, de l’icône et aussi, bien sûr, de son esprit populaire. …”

Genomic analysis reveals limited hybridization among three giraffe species in Kenya by Raphael T. F. Coimbra, Sven Winter, Arthur Muneza, Stephanie Fennessy, Moses Otiende, Domnic Mijele, Symon Masiaine, Jenna Stacy-Dawes, Julian Fennessy, Axel Janke

“…Interbreeding among giraffe (Giraffa spp.) in captivity is known, and anecdotal reports of natural hybrids exist. In Kenya, Nubian (G. camelopardalis camelopardalis), reticulated (G. reticulata), and Masai giraffe sensu stricto (G. tippelskirchi tippelskirchi) are parapatric, and thus, the country might be a melting pot for these taxa. …”

Evaluation of the evolutionary process within Populus caspica species from Hyrcanian forests by karyotype analysis by Fereshteh Asadi-Corom, Farhad Asadi, Hossein Mirzaie-Nodoushan

“…The results demonstrated that structural rearrangement has occurred within the studied populations and indicated an active evolutionary process within and between populations of the species due to natural hybridization. Also, these results showed that artificial inter-specific hybridization between the P. caspica and its relative species can be employed to broaden the ecological zone of the species. …”

The WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Control of Schistosomiasis at Niamey, Niger by Chippaux J-P, Boulanger D, Brémond P, Campagne G, Véra C, Sellin B

“…The activities of the CERMES involving schistosomiasis concern three research units: (a) ecology of human and animal schistosomiasis transmission; the CERMES defined the different patterns of schistosomiasis transmission in Niger (involving African dry savana); in this field, we have shown, (i) the existence of important variability in conditions of transmission of S. haematobium and, (ii) natural hybridization between parasitic species of the ruminants (S. bovis and S. curassoni) and genetic interaction between human and animal parasites; (b) definition of morbidity indicators usable for rapid assessment methods, for appraisal of the severity of the disease and for the evaluation of the efficiency of control methods; we have established the correlation between ultrasonographic data and some cheap and simple field indicators; (c) immune response and protective immunity induced by recombinant glutathion S-transferase (Sm28, Sb28 and Sh28) in homologous and heterologous animal models including goats, sheep and non human primates (Erythrocebus patas). …”
