Falciparum Population

We present the first parasitological, molecular and longitudinal analysis of an isolated outbreak of malaria. This outbreak occurred on Santiago Island (Republic of Cabo Verde), a region where malaria is hypoendemic and controlled, and thus the population is considered non-immune. Blood samples were collected from the inhabitants over 1 month and during cross-sectional surveys in the following year. The presence and nature of the parasites was determined by PCR. Plasmodium falciparum was the only species detected. Genetic analysis revealed that the circulating parasites were genetically homogeneous, and probably clonal. Gametocytes were found throughout this period. Our data suggest that this represented a focal outbreak, resulting in the infection of at least 40% of the villagers with a clonal parasite line. Thus, P. falciparum infections can persist for at least 1 year in a substantial proportion (10%) of the hosts. Implications for malaria control and the interpretation of epidemiological data are discussed.

Thick Layers

The archives of the Republic of Cabo Verde contain the official records of Portuguese rule up to 1975. I did not see any documents that dated from before the early eighteenth century. At independence in 1975 the jubilant crowd broke into the main administrative building in Praia, the capital, and threw the records into the street. The records of the Praia municipal administration and of the Instituto de Trabalho were also ransacked. Eventually the dispersed documents, together with several thousand volumes from the Praia Public Library, were gathered up and packed haphazardly into wooden crates. In 1978 a large municipal warehouse was allocated as an archives store. Shelves were installed and the documents were slowly disinterred from the crates, where they had accumulated thick layers of dust.The earlier documents, about 1500 manuscript volumes of the eighteenth and earlier nineteenth centuries, have been put on shelves, but not in any systematic order. Many are defective or fragile. The documents from the later nineteenth century up to 1949 are preserved in about 1300 metal boxes. They too have been put on shelves, but not in chronological order (if only because many of the boxes have lost their labels). The documents from 1950 to 1975 were enclosed in cardboard file covers. Some have been put on shelves, others are stacked on the floor. None are in order. Many have come loose from their covers and have been tied up arbitrarily in bundles, along with documents from the municipal and Instituto de Trabalho archives. There are also many bundles of miscellaneous municipal records.

The authorities of the Republic of Cape Verde and the former Portuguese institute of heritage (IPPC) cooperate to do an archaeological excavation between 1989 and 1993 in the ruins of the Cathedral of “Cidade Velha”, the former main religious spot of the archipelago, under the direction of one of the authors (C.A. – Amaro, 2013). The work revealed several contexts connected with reformations of the religious temple dating from late 17th and 18th century, providing an insight on material culture of the colonial period in Cape Verde Archipelago. Clay tobacco pipe sherds were identified, displaying some data related to commercial links between the Portuguese Empire and other European spaces, as well as suggestive of the frequency of tobacco consumption in Cape Verde at the time.

In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.
