Intestinal parasites in dogs and cats from the district of Évora, Portugal.

  • Autores: Atouguia J, Centeno-Lima S, Ferreira FS, Padre L, Parreira R, Pereira-Baltasar P, Távora Tavira L, Vilhena M
  • Journal: Veterinary Parasitology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Intestinal+parasites+in+dogs+and+cats+from+the+district+of+%C3%89vora%2C+Portugal

Intestinal parasites, both helminths and protozoa, are commonly found in domestic animals, and the possible transmission of enteric parasites from dogs and cats to humans may constitute a global potential health risk worldwide.

Dengue fever in Europe: could there be an epidemic in the future?

  • Autores: Parreira R, Sousa CA
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy
  • Link: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1586/14787210.2015.982094

Dengue virus (DENV) is the arbovirus with the widest impact on human health. Although its dispersal is partially conditioned by environmental constraints that limit the distribution of its main vector (Aedes aegypti), DENV has been spreading geographically in recent times, but mostly afflicting tropical and subtropical regions. With no prophylactic vaccine or specific therapeutics available, […]

Molecular Identification of Borrelia miyamotoi in Ixodes ricinus from Portugal

  • Autores: Campino L, Carreira T, Faria S, Lopes N, Maia C, Nunes M, Parreira R, Sousa C, Vieira ML
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26273814

Borrelia miyamotoi, a relapsing fever spirochete, has been found recently in Ixodes ricinus ticks; however, little is known about its spatial distribution and potential local impact on human health. A total of 640 ticks (447 nymphs and 193 adults) collected throughout Portugal were analyzed using two nested PCR protocols, one targeting the flagellin gene and […]

Negeviruses found in multiple species of mosquitoes from southern Portugal: Isolation, genetic diversity, and replication in insect cell culture

  • Autores: Abecasis A, Carapeta S, de Almeida AP, de Matos AP, do Bem B, Esteves A, Lopes A, McGuinness J, Parreira R, Piedade J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Virology

In this report, an RT-PCR approach based on the use of degenerate primers allowed the identification of negeviruses in four different species of mosquitoes (Ochlerotatus caspius, Culex pipiens, Cx. theileri and Cx. univittatus) collected in southern Portugal. The genomes of two of these viruses, sequenced to full completion, were shown to encode all the proteins […]
