Cranial surgical approaches in the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection
Ferreira, Maria Teresa; Coelho, Catarina; Gaspar, Rosa Ramos; de Matos, Daniela P.; Pereira, Ricardo; Cunha, Eugénia; Oliveira-Santos, InêsIn Forensic Anthropology, identification is comparing information from a person whose fate and whereabouts are unknown with data from a person who is present but whose identity is unknown. The rarer and more distinctive the characteristics observed during the anthropological investigation, the greater the probability of reaching an identification. Taking this into account, cranial surgeries can be considered go...
Production and characterization of powder from drone brood of honeybees (Apis m...
Goncalves, J. C.; Vouga, Beatriz; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da; Gonçalves, Fernando Jorge; Coelho, Catarina; Guiné, Raquel; Correia, PaulaDrone bee brood are a natural source of food with potential for human nutrition. This work aims to investigate the production and extraction of the drone bee brood (larvae and pupae), as well as the production of powder from this insect for food applications. To produce the drone brood (DB), in some hives of the colony appropriate empty frames were placed. Some measurements were done in the hive to monitor the ...
Pulmonary and Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Small Ruminant Autochtho...
Pereira, Maria; Vila-Viçosa, Maria João M.; Coelho, Catarina; Santos, Carla; Esteves, Fernando; Cruz, Rita; Gomes, Liliana; Henriques, DiogoThe production of small ruminant autochthonous breeds in the Centre region of Portugal is practiced in a semi-extensive husbandry system, exposing animals to parasitic infections. The main objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of lungworm infection and identify risk factors. Fecal samples of 203 goats and 208 sheep from 30 herds were collected per rectum and subjected to the modified Baermann t...

All that glitters is not gold: X-ray fluorescence analysis of a fixed dental pr...
Oliveira-Santos, Inês; Gomes, Ricardo A.M.P.; Coelho, Catarina; Gil, Francisco; Cunha, Eugénia; Baptista, Isabel Poiares; Ferreira, Maria TeresaAccess to better health care anticipates that more medical devices can be found alongside skeletal remains. Those employed in oral rehabilitation, with available brands or batch/series, can prove useful in the identification process. A previous study in the Colecção de Esqueletos Identificados Século XXI described macroscopically the dental prostheses. An unusual case of a dental device with chromatic alteratio...
Differences in the Diets of Female and Male Red Deer: The Meaning for Sexual Se...
Garcia, Fernanda; Silva, António Alves da; Ruckstuhl, Kathreen; Neuhaus, Peter; Coelho, Catarina; Wang, Muyang; Sousa, José Paulo; Alves, JoanaSexual segregation is a common phenomenon among animals, particularly dimorphic ones. Although widely addressed, the reasons and consequences of sexual segregation are still an important topic in need of better understanding. In this study, we mainly evaluate the diet composition and feeding behaviour of animals, which are related to the use of different habitats by the sexes, a special case of sexual segregati...
Parasitas Pulmonares em Pequenos Ruminantes: Mais Conhecimento, Melhor Diagnóstico
Aires Pereira, Maria; Mega, Cristina; Garcês, Andreia; Santos, Carla; Vasconcelos-Nóbrega, Carmen; Melo, Carolina; Rosário Coelho, CarolinaA pneumonia parasitária por nematodes da superfamília Trichostrongyloidea e Metastrongyloidea, também conhecida como estrongilose pulmonar, apresenta elevada prevalência nalgumas regiões geográficas, mas tem merecido pouca atenção por parte dos Médicos Veterinários e investigadores [1,2]. Os estudos de prevalência disponíveis assentam predominantemente na deteção de lesões pulmonares em matadouro e no diagnósti...
Professional Training in Beekeeping: A Cross-Country Survey to Identify Learnin...
Guiné, Raquel P. F.; Oliveira, Jorge; Coelho, Catarina; Costa, Daniela; Correia, Paula; Esteves Correia, Helena; Dahle, B.; Oddie, M.; Raimets, R.Habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental degradations pose severe challenges to beekeepers. Therefore, this sector needs to rely on updated information so that the intervening actors can deal with the problems. In this context, and assuming that professional training can greatly help those acting in the beekeeping sector, this work intended to investigate the gaps in the updated knowledge of beekee...
An Antibody-Based Survey of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum Infection in...
Pereira, Maria Aires; Nóbrega, Carmen; Mateus, Teresa Letra; Almeida, Daniela Gomes de; Oliveira, Andreia; Coelho, Catarina; Cruz, Rita; Oliveira, PaulaToxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are obligate intracellular protozoan parasites infecting a wide range of hosts worldwide. However, information on the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis and neosporosis in cats from Portugal is limited. Thus, this study aims to evaluate anti-T. gondii and anti-N. caninum seroprevalence in client-owned cats from Portugal and to identify risk factors using a panel of well-charact...
