Brucella ceti in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in Portugal—Characterizati...
Cavaco, Sandra; Grilo, Miguel; Dias, Ricardo; Nunes, Mónica; Pascoal, Pedro; Pereira, Marcelo; Fogaça, Catarina; Costa, Ana Beatriz; Pardal, Sofia<jats:p>This study investigates Brucella ceti infection in marine mammals stranded along the Lisbon and Tagus Valley coast between 2022 and mid-2024, marking the first report of Brucella presence in Portuguese waters. Out of 59 examined marine mammals, B. ceti was isolated in three common dolphins (5.1%), a prevalence rate consistent with previous studies from other coastlines. PCR-based detection indicated a h...
Building a Portuguese coalition for biodiversity genomics
Marques, João P.; Alves, Paulo C.; Amorim, Isabel R.; Lopes, Ricardo J.; Moura, Monica; Myers, Eugene; Sim-sim, Manuela; Sousa-Santos, CarlaThe diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes...

The European Reference Genome Atlas: piloting a decentralised approach to equit...
Mc Cartney, Ann M.; Formenti, Giulio; Mouton, Alice; De Panis, Diego; Marins, Luísa S; Leitão, Henrique; Diedericks, Genevieve; KIRANGWA, JOSEPHABSTRACT: A global genome database of all of Earth’s species diversity could be a treasure trove of scientific discoveries. However, regardless of the major advances in genome sequencing technologies, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. To contribute to a more complete planetary genomic database, scientists and institutions across the world have united under the Earth BioGenome P...
Variation of blubber thickness for three marine mammal species in the southern ...
Siebert, Ursula; Grilo, Miguel; Kesselring, Tina; Lehnert, Kristina; Ronnenberg, Katrin; Pawliczka, Iwona; Galatius, Anders; Kyhn, Line; Dähne, MichaelEvaluating populational trends of health condition has become an important topic for marine mammal populations under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). In the Baltic Sea, under the recommendation of Helsinki Commission (HELCOM), efforts have been undertaken to use blubber thickness as an indicator of energy reserves in marine mammals. Current values lack geographical representation from the entire ...
Aeromonas spp. Prevalence, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance in an ex sit...
Grilo, Miguel; Amaro, Guadalupe; Chambel, Lélia; Marques, Carolina S.; Marques, Tiago A.; Gil, Fátima; Sousa-Santos, Carla; Robalo, JoanaEx situ breeding programs are important conservation tools for endangered freshwater fish. However, developing husbandry techniques that decrease the likelihood of disease, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence determinants acquisition during this process is challenging. In this pilot study, we conducted a captivity experiment with Portuguese nase (Iberochondrostoma lusitanicum), a critically endangered leuci...
Verified password generation from password composition policies
Grilo, Miguel; Campos, João; Ferreira, João F.; Almeida, José Bacelar; Mendes, AlexandraPassword managers (PMs) are important tools that enable the use of stronger passwords, freeing users from the cognitive burden of remembering them. Despite this, there are still many users who do not fully trust PMs. In this paper, we focus on a feature that most PMs offer that might impact the user’s trust, which is the process of generating a random password. We present three of the most commonly used algorit...

Fernandes, Matilde; Carneiro, Carla; Villada Rosales, Ana Maria; Grilo, Miguel; Ramiro, Yolanda; Cunha, Eva; Nunes, Telmo; Tavares, Luis; Sandi, JanetBackground: Wildlife has been recently recognized as an environmental reservoir for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, less information on this topic is available in animals released back into the wild after rehabilitation in wildlife facilities, compared with studies performed exclusively in captive or free-ranging wildlife. This study aimed to evaluate the potential influence of captivity and/or treatme...
Mesophilic Aeromonas in threatened Iberian leuciscids : conservation and public...
Grilo, MiguelDespite the high risk of extinction of the Iberian leuciscids, the impact of bacterial diseases on their conservation is unknown. A comprehensive knowledge of the interaction between these species and pathogens, such as mesophilic Aeromonas, as well as the development of biosafety measures for ex situ programs, are considered essential for the success of their conservation. The main objectives of this thesis ar...
