First Molecular Detection of Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia helvetica in Tic...
Moreira, G; Moreira, RSS; Neves, FAD; Swiontek, V; Barradas, PF; Gomes-Gonçalves, S; Mesquita, JRVector-borne diseases, particularly those caused by Rickettsia species, pose a significant public health threat in Europe. Despite extensive research on tick-borne pathogens in various European countries, Luxembourg has yet not been studied for Rickettsia spp. in ticks infesting domestic animals. This study aimed to fill this gap by investigating the presence of Rickettsia spp. in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected...
A Thorny Tale of Parasites: Screening for Enteric Protozoan Parasites in Hedgeh...
Gomes-Gonçalves, S; Santos-Silva, S; Cruz, AVS; Rodrigues, C; Soeiro, V; Barradas, P; Mesquita, JREnteric protozoan parasites, such as Blastocystis sp., Balantioides coli, Cryptosporidium spp., and Giardia duodenalis, may have implications for both animal and human health.Transmitted through the fecal–oral route, these parasites cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. This study investigated the presence of these enteric protozoan parasites and genetically characterized them in hed...
Molecular Screening and Characterization of Enteric Protozoan Parasites and Mic...
Gomes-Gonçalves, S; Rodrigues, D; Santos, N; Gantois, N; Chabé, M; Viscogliosi, E; Mesquita, JREnteric parasites pose significant threats to both human and veterinary health, ranking among the top causes of mortality worldwide. Wild migratory waterfowl, such as ducks, may serve as hosts and vectors for these parasites, facilitating their transmission across ecosystems. This study conducted a molecular screening of enteric parasites in three species of wild ducks of the genus Anas (A. acuta, A. platyrhync...
Occurrence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Zoonotic Enteropathogenic Protist Paras...
Gomes-Gonçalves, S; Palmeira, JD; Ferreira, H; Santos-Silva, S; Mesquita, JREnteropathogenic parasites are of significant concern for public health due to their zoonotic potential and their impact on human and animal health. In this study, we investigated their occurrence and characterized these enteropathogens in asymptomatic domestic ruminants from Portugal. A total of 302 stool samples were collected from cattle (n = 166), sheep (n = 73), and goats (n = 63) in various regions of Por...
