An evaluation of efficacy of the auto-dissemination technique as a tool for Aedes aegypti control in Madeira, Portugal

  • Autores: Seixas G, Paul REL, Pires B, Alves G, de Jesus A, Silva AC, Devine GJ, Sousa C

Background The frequency and intensity of arboviral epidemics is steadily increasing and posing an intractable public health burden. Current vector control methods are proving ineffectual and despite progress in the development of high technology approaches, there is an urgent need for the development of tools for immediate implementation. Several studies suggest that the auto-dissemination of pyriproxyfen […]

CASE SUMMARY: This is the first clinical report of feline viscerocutaneous leishmaniosis caused by Leishmania infantum genotype E associated with an invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a domestic cat from Portugal. Initially, the cat presented a single cutaneous lesion in the right nostril. A fine-needle aspiration was performed and Leishmania amastigotes were observed without the presence of cells […]

Malaria is currently one of the world´s major health problems. About a half-million deaths are recorded every year. In Portugal, malaria cases were significantly high until the end of the 1950s but the disease was considered eliminated in 1973. In the past few years, endemic malaria cases have been recorded in some European countries. With […]

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 […]
