Lopes, Ricardo; Garcês, Andreia; Silva, Augusto; Brilhante-Simões, Paula; Martins, Angela; Cardoso, Luís; Duarte, Elsa Leclerc; Coelho, Ana CláudiaDermatophytosis, commonly referred to as ringworm, is a common superficial fungal infection in companion animals and humans. Between 2012 and 2023, plucked hair and scraped scale samples from domestic dogs and cats with clinical suspicion of dermatophytosis were collected from 355 veterinary medical centres across mainland Portugal. A total of 4716 animal samples were inoculated onto DERM agar, incubated at 25 ...
Feline Infectious Peritonitis Effusion Index: A Novel Diagnostic Method and Val...
Lopes, Ricardo; Sampaio, Filipe; Lima de Carvalho, Hugo; Garcês, Andreia; Fernandes, Cátia; Neves, Carolina Vitória; Sardinha de Brito, AlexandreThe emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led the medical and scientific community to explore the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of coronaviruses. In felines, a widespread coronavirus known as feline coronavirus (FCoV) can lead to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a highly fatal disease characterised by severe systemic inflammation. Diagnosing FCoV remains ch...
First description of antifungal susceptibility of yeast-like fungi in dermal le...
Lopes, Ricardo; Garcês, Andreia; Silva, Augusto; Brilhante-Simões, Paula; Martins, Ângela; Cardoso, Luís; Duarte, Elsa Leclerc; Coelho, Ana CláudiaYeast infections, particularly those caused by species of the genera Malassezia and Candida, are important contributors to otitis and dermatitis in dogs. This study investigates the prevalence and antifungal resistance of various yeast-like fungi isolated from canine dermal lesions in Portugal. Between 2018 and 2023, samples from dogs with clinically suspected yeast infections were collected and analysed using ...

Lopes, Ricardo; Garcês, Andreia; Silva, Augusto; Brilhante-Simões, Paula; Martins, Ângela; Duarte, Elsa Leclerc; Coelho, Ana Cláudia; Cardoso, LuísLeishmaniosis is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, which are zoonotic and have an important impact on animal and public health globally. Between 2009 and 2023, blood samples from domestic dogs with clinical suspicion of leishmaniosis were received from 286 veterinary medical centres throughout mainland Portugal. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was utilise...

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...
Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery in a sheep with pulmonary adenocarcinoma
Quintas, Helder; Garcês, Andreia; Alegria, Nuno; Pires, Maria João; Campilho, Rita; Silva, Filipe; Pires, IsabelAneurysm of the pulmonary artery is a rare condition in animals, and to our knowledge it has never been reported in association with pulmonary neoplasia. This report describes a case of an adult female sheep of the “Churra Galega Bragançana” breed with an aneurysm of the pulmonary artery associated with lung cancer (ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma).
The diagnostic challenges of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma
Quintas, Helder; Pires, Isabel; Garcês, Andreia; Prada, Justina; Silva, Filipe; Alegria, NunoOvine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA), also known as sheep pulmonary adenomatosis and jaagsiekte, is a contagious pulmonary tumor of sheep, characterized by neoplastic proliferation of type II pneumocyte and club cells. OPA is induced by the oncogenic activity of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) of exogenous jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV). This disease is associated with significant economic losses in numerou...
