Molecular detection of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa in cervids and wild boars from Portugal

  • Authors: Campino L, Casadinho A, Maia C, Nunes M, Parreira R, Pereira A, Vieira ML
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Parasites & Vectors
  • Link: https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-016-1535-0

Tick-borne bacteria and protozoa by molecular sequencing The authors assess the presence of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa by molecular sequencing. Cervids and wild boars can can act as reservoir of different tick-borne pathogens, such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. The researchers collected 141 blood samples from free-ranging ungulates including 73 red deer, 65 wild boars and three fallow deer. Moreover, […]

Molecular identification of Borrelia genus in questing hard ticks from Portugal: Phylogenetic characterization of two novel Relapsing Fever-like Borrelia sp.

  • Authors: Fingerle V, Lopes N, Maia C, Nunes M, Parreira R, Vieira ML
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26976475

Molecular identification of Borrelia genus Several studies reported pathogenic species of Borrelia related to those that cause Tick-borne Relapsing Fever (RF). However, this studies unexpectedly suggested their transmission by hard ticks rather than by soft ticks. This study aimed to update the presence of B. burgdorferi s.l. species in ticks from several districts of Portugal, […]

In order to elucidate the distribution of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii in the Mediterranean basin, an extensive environmental survey was carried out during 2012-2015. A total of 302 sites located in 12 countries were sampled, 6436 samples from 3765 trees were collected and 5% of trees were found to be colonized by cryptococcal yeasts. […]

Serosurvey of Borrelia in dogs, horses, and humans exposed to ticks in a rural settlement of southern Brazil

  • Authors: Biondo AW, Gonçalves DD, Nascimento DA, Santos NJ, Tamekuni K, Toledo RD, Vidotto O, Vieira ML, Vieira RF, Vieira TS
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Parasitology

The aims of the present study were to serosurvey dogs, horses, and humans highly exposed to tick bites for anti-Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. antibodies, identify tick species present, and determine risk factors associated with seropositivity in a rural settlement of Paraná State, southern Brazil. Eighty-seven residents were sampled, along with their 83 dogs and 18 horses, […]

First isolation of human Leptospira strains, Azores, Portugal

  • Authors: Ahmed A, Carreira T, Collares-Pereira M, Gonçalves AT, Harstkeerl RA, Hyde K, Melo-Mota F, Mota-Vieira L, Nunes MS, Paiva C, Vieira ML
  • Journal: International Journal of Infectious Diseases
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20413339

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was the first identification of Leptospira isolates from Azorean inpatients. METHODS: Whole blood samples from 68 inpatients attending the São Miguel Hospital between 2006 and 2008, with a clinical and epidemiological suspicion of leptospirosis, were inoculated in a transport medium broth at the patient’s bedside and further processed using […]
