Mosquito surveys and West Nile virus screening in two different areas of southern Portugal, 2004-2007

  • Authors: Almeida AP, Alves R, Esteves A, Freitas FB, Novo MT, Rodrigues JC, Sousa CA

Longitudinal mosquito surveys were carried out in southern Portugal from 2004 to 2007, in a wetland area (Comporta, District of Setúbal) and around the perimeter of a dam irrigation plant that created the largest artificial lake in Europe, 250 km(2) (Alqueva, Districts of Evora and Beja).

BACKGROUND:
There is a growing concern that global climate change will affect the potential for pathogen transmission by insect species that are vectors of human diseases. One of these species is the former European malaria vector, Anopheles atroparvus. Levels of population differentiation of An. atroparvus from southern Europe were characterized as a first attempt to elucidate patterns of population structure of this former malaria vector.

A genomic signature and the identification of new sporulation genes

  • Authors: Abecasis AB, Alves R, Henriques AO, Pereira-Leal JB, Quintais L, Serrano M
  • Publication Year: 2013
  • Journal: Journal of Bacteriology
  • Link: http://jb.asm.org/content/195/9/2101.full

Bacterial endospores are the most resistant cell type known to humans, as they are able to withstand extremes of temperature, pressure, chemical injury, and time. They are also of interest because the endospore is the infective particle in a variety of human and livestock diseases.
