Bugs drafted in for battle to save artworks | World news | The Guardian
acc! diavolo di insetti ! sarei curioso se qualcuno avesse informazioni su quali siano questi insetti utilizzati in Italia per "restaurare " buchi nelle statue di marmo...
Bugs drafted in for battle to save artworks
* Rory Carroll in Caracas
* The Guardian, Monday 9 February 2009
* Article history
Scientists have recruited bugs to kill other insects and micro-organisms which infest art and cultural treasures, boosting conservation efforts in hot climates.
Biotechnology can unleash a bacillus to "explode the guts" of beetles which damage paintings, frescos, tapestries and sculptures, a gathering of scientists and curators in Venezuela will be told today.
Certain bugs, once harnessed, are cheap and effective defences against humidity and insects, said José-Luis Ramírez, director of the UN University's programme for biotechnology for Latin America and the Caribbean. "We can use the toxins produced by some bugs to counter other pests or fungus," he said. "You don't need sophisticated equipment to protect great works of heritage, all you need are bugs."
Scientists from Europe and Latin America will give biotechnology tips to curators at the 4th Cultural Heritage Conservation Forum in Venezuela's capital, Caracas. They say micro-organisms are cheaper, safer and effective alternatives to chemicals.
Biotechnology uses living organisms to mould products or processes to a specific use. Genetically modified food and some medical techniques have raised suspicion, but its use in heritage conservation has proved less controversial.
One of the conference stars will be Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium which forms toxin crystals harmless to humans but deadly to insects. When ingested, the toxin forms a pore in the insect's gut which results in swelling. "Eventually it makes their guts explode," said Ramírez.
The problem, however, is delivering the bacterium to insects burrowed deep into artworks. "We are still experimenting with how to get it into wood carvings," said the scientist.
Cultural treasures made of organic materials such as paper, canvas, wood and leather are especially prone to decay in warm and tropical countries because of insects, fungus and bacteria. Beetles and termites have ruined paintings in Italian churches, furniture in Mexico and tapestries in Bolivia.
In Italy, bugs which produce calcium carbonate, the material for marble, have been inserted into damaged sculptures to repair holes. The growths absorb the materials' original colours.
Sofía Borrego Alonso, of Cuba's national archive, will say how she protected books and manuscripts with plant-derived products instead of pricier, less effective chemical biocides harmful to human health.

The Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conferences
The Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference
The Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference
Access and Rights
24 - 26 July, Christ's College, Cambridge
The Islamic Manuscript Association is pleased to announce that the Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference will be held at Christ's College, University of Cambridge, UK from 24-26 July 2009. It will be hosted by the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation and the Centre of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge.
The Association invites submissions of papers for its annual conference on topics related to the care, management, and study of Islamic manuscripts. In 2009, the Conference will specifically address the issue of access to manuscripts. Improving access to manuscripts through digitisation and electronic ordering and delivery systems whilst ensuring their proper long-term preservation is fundamental to the successful future study of the Islamic heritage. Presently, technologies are available that have the potential to transform the way manuscripts are studied; however, the access these technologies can allow is counterbalanced by collection holders' concerns regarding their legal rights and the financial sustainability of their organisations. During the Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference these vital issues will be discussed by our invited speakers and selected paper presenters.
Call for Papers
As in previous years, the Conference will be organised around the Association's four main interest groups: cataloguing, conservation, digitisation, and publishing and research. Papers on access naturally falling into these broad categories will be included in the relevant panels, so please make clear to which interest group your submission relates. We will also accept submissions related to topics that do not fall directly under the purviews of the interest groups. These may be papers about specific manuscript projects, library collections, research on a particular manuscript, etc. Please note that the total number of papers accepted will not exceed 25 and preference will be given to speakers who have not presented papers at the Association's previous conferences.
This invitation is open to members and non-members of the Association. The Conference will be bilingual in Arabic and English and submissions will be accepted in both languages. The title of your paper must be included in your submission. The deadline for submissions is 13 February 2009. Late proposals will not be considered. The duration of each conference paper is 30 minutes inclusive of ten minutes of questions and answers.
Please send your abstract (maximum 500 words) along with a brief CV mentioning at least one relevant publication and a cover sheet to the Executive Committee by email (tima@islamicmanuscript.org), by fax to +44 (0)1223 302218 or by post to the address below:
