Virological screening of wild and farmed fish species: Application of innovative Taqman multiplex real-time PCR protocols

  • Autores: Andreia Filipa-Silva, Ricardo Parreira, Mónica Nunes, Maria Teresa Barreto Crespo
  • Ano de Publicação: 2021
  • Journal: Aquaculture, vol 54015, art 736693
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.736693

ABSTRACT Global demand for seafood is growing and fish stock maintenance becomes a pressing issue, making aquaculture production of capital importance in terms of fish resources sustainability. Therefore, fish disease outbreaks are a significant constraint to fisheries trade and aquaculture production, affecting economic development worldwide. In this study, a virological screening in wild and farmed fish […]

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 […]

Leishmania infantum strains from cats are similar in biological properties to canine and human strains

  • Autores: André Pereira, Ricardo Parreira, José Manuel Cristóvão, Fabrizio Vitale, Patrick Bastien, Lenea Campino, Carla Maia
  • Ano de Publicação: 2021
  • Journal: Veterinary Parasitology, vol 298, art 109531
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2021.109531

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

  • Autores: André Pereira, Joana Teixeira, Sofia Sousa, Ricardo Parreira, Lenea Campino, José Meireles, Carla Maia
  • Ano de Publicação: 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 […]

Genetic lineage characterization and spatiotemporal dynamics of classical insect-specific flaviviruses: outcomes and limitations

  • Autores: Paulo Morais, Nídia S Trovão, Ana Abecasis, Ricardo Parreira
  • Ano de Publicação: 2021
  • Journal: Virus Research, 303, art 198507
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virusres.2021.198507

HIGHLIGHTS • Complete and partial cISF sequences were characterized using multiple analyses. • cISF sequences show low diversity and entropy, and evolve under purifying selection. • Recombination does not seem to impact the evolution of cISF extensively. • Different datasets displayed high phylogenetic, but mostly low temporal signals. • Spatiotemporal dispersal analyses suggested cISF distribution […]
