José Martins da Cruz Jobim
José Martins da Cruz Jobim, Brazilian physician (Rio Pardo, Rio Grande do Sul State 26 February 1802 – Rio de Janeiro 23 August 1878) Reported about a disease named opilation or intertropical hypoemy that affected poor people in Brazil. His theories about this disease gained international recognition and great medical treatises of this epoch cited his works. Nevertheless some decades later this disease was proved to be ancylostomiasis. Authored first medical report in which African negroes displayed remarkable resistance against malarial infections than other sets of populations (1835). This report anticipated US researcher Lobby in 1846 Discurso sobre as moléstias que mais affligem a classe pobre do Rio de Janeiro. Typographia Fluminense de Brito e Comp., 1835

Jesus Villarosa Juario
Jesus Villarosa Juario, Philippine fisheries biologist (Carcar, Cebu Province 06 August 1942 – Authored 40 papers and 16 technical reports Described one genus (Linhystera 1974), one subgenus (Nualaimus 1974) and 12 new species of free-living nematodes while working for his doctoral degree at the Institute for Marine research in Bremerhaven, Germany (1972-4) With other scientists from the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC AQD) developed the technique to capture and transport wild adult milkfish and rear them in captivity With Hiralal Chaudhuri, he spawned for the first time wild adult milkfish in captivity (1977) With Marietta N. Duray developed the technique to spawn milkfish (Chanos chanos), in captivity and later on the technique to spawn the siganid, Siganus guttatus, and the sea bass, Lates calcarifer, in captivity and rear the resulting larvae to metamorphosis. This formed as the basis for the development of the milkfish, siganid and seabass hatchery technology at SEAFDEC AQD (1977-86) With Volker Storch (University of Heidelberg) developed a rapid technique of assessing the nutritional quality of feed/diets through electron microscopy (1982) With V. Storch and H. Segner, he has shown for the first time through electron microscopy that milkfish larvae could not digest Chlorella, the phytoplankton commonly used at that time together with rotifers to rear milkfish larvae to metamorphosis Developed a technique of producing milkfish fingerlings in ponds to be used as tuna baits (1986) Developed a technique for the commercial production of marketable-sized grouper in cages, and for the live transport of grouper fingerlings and marketable-sized fish LINKS http://spheres.dost.gov.ph/sci-profile.php?i=000761
