REGIONAL REPORT ABSTRACT The utility of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COX1) and 16S ribosomal DNA (16S-rDNA) sequence analyses as a complementary/alternative tool to classical taxonomy, for the identification of some of the most prevalent hard tick species from Portugal was evaluated using BOLD-ID (COX1 only), BLASTn and phylogenetic tree reconstruction based on multiple nucleotide sequence […]

HIGHLIGHTS • Feline Leishmania strains are phenotypically similar to those from humans and dogs. • Feline, canine, and human strains have a identical susceptibility to drugs. • Parasites isolated from cats can infect feline, canine, and human macrophages. • Feline macrophages are permissive to strains isolated from dogs and humans. ABSTRACT Zoonotic visceral leishmaniosis is a […]

Giardia duodenalis infection in dogs from the metropolitan area of Lisbon, Portugal: prevalence, genotyping and associated risk factors

  • Authors: André Pereira, Joana Teixeira, Sofia Sousa, Ricardo Parreira, Lenea Campino, José Meireles, Carla Maia
  • Publication Year: 2021
  • Journal: Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 45, pp 372–379
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12639-020-01307-4

ABSTRACT Giardia duodenalis is a cosmopolitan enteric protozoan that affects a wide range of vertebrates, including humans and dogs. Genetic characterisation reveals eight different assemblages, with A and B having been found mainly in humans and several other animals, and thus considered potentially zoonotic, while C and D are adapted to infect dogs. This study […]
