The historical ecological background of West Nile virus in Portugal indicates O...
Geraldes, Martim; Cunha, Mónica; Godinho, Carlos; Lima, Ricardo; Giovanetti, Marta; Lourenço, JoséWest Nile (WNV) is a zoonotic arbovirus with an expanding geographical range and epidemic activity in Europe. Not having yet experienced a human-associated epidemic, Portugal remains an outlier in the Mediterranean basin. In this study, we apply ecological niche modelling informed by WNV historical evidence and a multitude of environmental variables from across Portugal. We identify that ecological backgrounds ...
Mapping high-risk areas for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria transmi...
Ferreira, Eduardo; Cunha, Mónica; Duarte, Elsa LeclercIn many Mediterranean ecosystems, animal tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, an ecovar of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), is maintained by multi-host communities. It is hypothesised that interspecies transmission is mainly indirect via shared contaminated environments. Therefore, identifying spatial areas where MTBC bacteria occur and quantifying space use by susceptible hosts might hel...
Identifying High-Risk Multi-Host Behaviors for Tuberculosis Transmission at the...
Sampaio, Ana; Ferreira, Eduardo; Cunha, Mónica; Duarte, Elsa Leclerc; Mira, António; Santos, Sara MZoonoses are a global concern, with bovine tuberculosis (TB) posing major economic and social challenges in Europe. Tuberculosis transmission is facilitated by the shared use of space and contaminated resources among hosts. The study was conducted on 5 adjoining farms in Barrancos, Portugal, near the Spanish border… Barrancos is identified as one of the main risk areas for bovine tuberculosis in Portugal. In ad...

Geraldes, Martim; Cunha, Mónica; Godinho, Carlos; Lima, Ricardo; Giovanetti, Marta; Lourenço, JoséWest Nile (WNV) is a zoonotic arbovirus with an expanding geographical range and epidemic activity in Europe. Not having yet experienced a human-associated epidemic, Portugal remains an outlier in the Mediterranean basin. In this study, we apply ecological niche modelling informed by WNV historical evidence (1969-2022) and a multitude of environmental variables from across Portugal. We identify that ecological ...
Building a Portuguese Coalition for Biodiversity Genomics
Marques, João Pedro; ALVES, Paulo C; Rosário, Isabel Amorim do; Lopes, Ricardo J.; Moura, Mónica; Meyers, Gene; Sim-Sim, Manuela; Sousa-Santos, C.The 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...
Continuidade educativa : estabelecer pontes entre a educação pré-escolar e o 1º...
Cunha, MónicaO presente relatório pretende esclarecer as práticas educativas promovidas em contexto de Educação Pré-escolar, bem como do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Este relatório será o resultado do esforço promovido em prol da concretização do Mestrado em Educação Pré-escolar e Ensino do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Ao longo do mesmo, poderão ser revistas as praticas promovidas pela estagiária nos dois contextos de investiga...
