The Argentine capital and its larger metropolitan area were home to *** startup companies as of September 2024. Córdoba, Argentina's second most populated city, was the second favorite city to found a startup in Argentina, with *** enterprises. The Argentine startup ecosystem In recent years, Argentina and Brazil concentrated over ** percent of the startup ecosystem value in Latin America. Argentina alone accounted for ** percent of the total. This South American nation's ecosystem was valued at ** billion U.S. dollars that year, followed closely by Brazil, whose ecosystem's value stood at ** billion dollars.In 2023, Buenos Aires topped the list of best cities for startups in Argentina, registering a total score of ****. That year, the country’s capital and Córdoba also appeared in the ranking of top cities for startups in Latin America and the Caribbean. Female entrepreneurship Female entrepreneurship has been on the rise in Latin America, pushing against a male-dominated environment in the business sector. It continues to encounter, however, remarkable obstacles. Argentina’s female entrepreneurial activity rate was remarkably distant from that of other Latin American countries, like Ecuador and Colombia, where it exceeded ** percent. By contrast, even if the entrepreneurial activity rate among women in Argentina was not particularly high, it can be said that most females started their business because it was their choice, and not out of necessity.

Pairwise FST values for Ae. aegypti collected in Buenos Aires and in Northeastern and Northwestern Argentina localities.

Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue and other arboviruses, was declared eradicated from Argentina in 1964; however, in 1987 it was detected again and nowadays it occurs in most of the country territory. To understand the transmission of vector-borne diseases, knowledge of the dispersal of vector populations is essential to evaluate the risk of pathogen transmission. We conducted a micro-geographic population genetic analysis of Ae. aegypti in 20 neighborhoods from Córdoba, the second largest city in Argentina, using 10 microsatellite loci. High genetic differentiation and the absence of an isolation by distance pattern was found using Weir and Cockerham’s θ. Bayesian and multivariate clustering analyses showed that all studied sites included individuals with high membership coefficients (Q) in their populations and others admixed or with membership in another cluster. Individuals with high Q in clusters different from the population in which they were collected strongly suggests that passive transport is important to shape Ae. aegypti dispersal pattern in Córdoba city. Knowing the genetic structure of Ae. aegypti populations and their dispersal patterns would contribute to the implementation of vector control program.

Brazil: a country with a lot to offer

Brazil's borders reach nearly half of the South American subcontinent, making it the fifth-largest country in the world and the third-largest country in the Western Hemisphere. Along with its landmass, Brazil also boasts the largest population and economy in the region.

South America: a region of extreme geographic variation

With the Andes mountain range in the West, the Amazon Rainforest in the East, the Equator in the North, and Cape Horn as the Southern-most continental tip, South America has some of the most diverse climatic and ecological terrains in the world. At its core, its biodiversity can largely be attributed to the Amazon, the world's largest tropical rainforest, and the Amazon river, the world's largest river. However, with this incredible wealth of ecology also comes great responsibility. In the past decade, roughly 80,000 square kilometers of the Brazilian Amazon were destroyed. And, as of late 2019, there were at least 1,000 threatened species in Brazil alone.
