Identification key to the Anopheles mosquitoes of South America (Diptera: Culicidae). III. Male genitalia
Abstract Background Accurate identification of the species of Anopheles Meigen, 1818 requires careful examination of all life stages.However, morphological characters, especially those of the females and fourth-instar larvae, show some degree of polymorphism and overlap among members of species complexes, and sometimes even within progenies.Charact
Trafficking in Cure and Harm: Placebos, Nocebos and the Curative Imaginary
This article tracks the traffic of placebos, nocebos and the effects or meaning-responses that they solicit in order to contribute to wide-ranging critiques of the curative imaginary.Moving through three realms of biomedicine (the Bar:Flatware, Knives clinic, the lab and the market), the article explores key contradictions at play within biomedicin
