Abstract
Peripheral blood sample was donated by a 61years old female patient diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia secondary to a primary myelofibrosis harboring the 52-bp deletion in the CALR gene (c.1092_1143del, p.L367fs*46) and the R693X mutation in the ASXL1 gene (c.2077C>T, p.R693X). CD34+ cells were isolated from the sample and subjected to the reprogramming procedure by using the Sendai virus carrying the reprogramming factors Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. iPS colonies generated retained the original mutations and displayed all the features of bona fide iPS cells.

Abstract
The capacity to survive gut passage is one of the desirable characteristics for nematophagous fungi to be considered potential biological control agents of gastrointestinal nematodes of livestock. From April 1995 to April 1996, a pool of 10 cow fecal samples and 10 individual samples of feces from heifers, which were raised under partial (cows) or total (heifers) confinement in the Mata Region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were examined monthly for the presence of nematophagous fungi. A total of 10 isolates was found in the survey. Eight isolates were recovered from the pooled samples of cow feces and two from the individual samples of heifers. Fungi were present in the cow feces during the dry months of August (two isolates of Arthrobotrys oligospora and one Monacrosporium eudermatum) and September (one isolate of Harposporium lilliputanum and one of M. gephyropagum). Fungi were also recovered at the beginning and middle of the rainy season: one isolate of A. musiformis in October, and one isolate of M. gampsosporum and one unidentified fungus which produced septate hyphae and adhesive buds in December. In the individual samples collected from heifers, fungi were present only in the months of September (end of dry season) and March (end of rainy season). One isolate each of H. lilliputanum and A. oligospora were found, respectively. Additional studies to further characterize these isolates should be encouraged.

Abstract
Bancroftian filariasis is a major public health problem in the city of Recife in north-eastern Brazil. In some of its urban areas microfilaraemia prevalence reaches 14%. This study describes epidemiological characteristics, infection and disease, in 2 urban areas, Coque and Mustardinha, before control measures were applied. The parasitological survey was performed by a 'door-to-door' census covering 5563 subjects, aged between 5 and 65 years. Microfilaraemia was detected by the thick drop technique, using 45 microL of peripheral blood collected between 20:00 and 24:00. In both areas the prevalence of microfilaraemia was 10%, and males had higher prevalences of infection and disease than females. The prevalence of microfilaraemia was higher in the 15-24 and 25-34 years age groups in both sexes. Most microfilaria (mf) carriers (72.1% in Coque and 79.7% in Mustadrinha) had mf densities < 100/60 microL of blood. Females of reproductive age had significantly lower mf densities than males. The overall disease prevalence in both areas was 6.3%. Amongst the subjects who presented with chronic disease 15.7% were microfilaraemic. Chronic disease prevalence increased from 1.4% in the 5-14 years age group to 11.3% in the oldest age group. The most frequent clinical manifestation was hydrocele (5.4%), followed by lymphoedema (1.8%). The epidemiological pattern of filariasis in the populations studied was marked by high prevalence of microfilaraemia, low mf density, and relatively low prevalence of filarial disease considering the level of endemicity.
