Rare and undersampled dimorphic basidiomycetes

  • Authors: Kachalkin AV, Turchetti B, Inácio J, Carvalho C, Mašínová T, Pontes A, Röhl O, Glushakova AM, Akulov A, Baldrian P, Begerow D, Buzzini P, Sampaio JP, Yurkov AM, Yurkov A

The diversity of yeasts has grown rapidly as the discovery of new species has benefited from intensified sampling and largely improved identification techniques. An environmental study typically reports the isolation of yeast species, some of which are new to science. Rare species represented by a few isolates often do not result in a taxonomic description.

Unraveling Sarcocystis miescheriana and Sarcocystis suihominis infections in wild boar

  • Authors: Amaro A, Coelho C, Gomes J, Inácio J, Lopes AP, Mesquita JR, Pires I, Vieira-Pinto M

  • Journal: Veterinary Parasitology

Sarcocystis species are worldwide spread cyst-forming protozoa that can infect wild boar but little is known about the prevalence of these parasites. In this study we assessed the prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. infections in wild boars from northeastern Portugal, for which novel PCR testing assays targeting Sarcocystis genus, S. miescheriana and S. suihominis were implemented, […]

HIV/AIDS-Associated Cryptococcosis in Portugal Spanning the Pre- to Post-HAART Era: A Retrospective Assessment at the Genotypic Level Based on URA5-RFLP.

Cryptococcosis caused by the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic mycosis, infecting mainly immunodepressed individuals. Molecular epidemiology studies of cryptococcosis in Europe are limited. This paper presents a retrospective study of cryptococcosis in 105 cryptococcal isolates from two hospitals in Lisbon, Portugal, among HIV/AIDS patients, from 1991 to 2007. Among these patients, the number of […]

Fundamental niche prediction of the pathogenic yeasts Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii in Europe

  • Authors: Akcaglar S, Bertout S, Boekhout T, Cerikcioglu N, Cogliati M, Colom MF, Criseo G, De Donno A, Desnos-Ollivier M, Dipineto L, Dromer F, Ellabib MS, Ergin C, Ferreira-Paim K, Hagen F, Ilkit M, Inácio J, Kwon-Chung KJ, Macci C, Marchese A, Meyer W, Mlinaric-Missoni E, Montagna MT, Nardoni S, Pasquale V, Polacheck I, Puccianti E, Ranque S, Rickerts V, Sampaio AC, Scopa A, Susever S, Trovato L, Varma A, Velegraki A, Vencà AC, Vezzulli L

Fundamental niche prediction of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii in Europe is an important tool to understand where these pathogenic yeasts have a high probability to survive in the environment and therefore to identify the areas with high risk of infection. In this study, occurrence data for C. neoformans and C. gattii were compared by […]

Development and evaluation of a two-step multiplex TaqMan real-time PCR assay for detection/quantification of different genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

  • Authors: Nunes M, Parreira R, Carreira T, Inácio J, Vieira ML
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
  • Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877959X16302771

Nowadays, at least four clinically important B. burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) genospecies (B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) and B. lusitaniae) circulate in Portugal. Each genospecies has a different tropism that resuls in a diverse array of clinical manifestations. The standard diagnostic procedure used is normally simple, nevertheless, during the “window-period” phase, […]
