In vitro isolation and seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in stray cats and pi...
waap, Helga; Cardoso, R; Leitão, A; Nunes, T; Vilares, A; Gargaté, MJ; Meireles, J; Cortes, H; Ângelo, HOral contamination with Toxoplasma gondii oocysts shed by cats into the environment has been linked to severe outbreaks of human toxoplasmosis. Pigeons (Columba livia) are highly susceptible to oral infection with oocysts and indirectly indicate soil contamination, since they feed from the ground. A seroprevalence study was performed on cats and pigeons captured in the city of Lisbon. Serum samples collected fr...

A modified agglutination test for the diagnosis of Besnoitia besnoiti infection
Waap, H; Cardoso, R; Marcelino, E; Malta, J; Cortes, H; Leitão, AAbstract Bovine besnoitiosis is caused by Besnoitia besnoiti, an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite. Affected animals present cutaneous and systemic manifestations and the disease may lead to considerable economic losses. Although generally associated to tropical and subtropical areas, bovine besnoitiosis is now considered an emergent disease in Europe, due to the increasing number of new cases and ap...
Mutations of the GLA gene in young patients with stroke: the PORTYSTROKE study-...
Baptista, V; Ferreira, S; Pinho-e-Melo, T; Carvalho, M; Cruz, V; Carmona, C; Silva, F; Tuna, A; Rodrigues, M; Ferreira, C; Pinto, A; Leitão, ABACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Fabry disease is an X-linked monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene. Recent data suggest that stroke in young adults may be associated with Fabry disease. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence of this disorder among young adult patients with stroke in Portugal by GLA genotyping. METHODS: During 1 year, all patients aged 18 to 55 years with first-ever stroke, who were admit...

Depression and anxiety in general practice and family medicine consultation.
Resina, T; Pinhão, A; Neto, L; Leitão, A; Martins, J; Augusto, MThe aim of this work was to study depression and anxiety in outpatients of Family Practice, namely: definition of cases, caseness, point-prevalence, clinical features, correlations with social demographic factors and identification of risk groups for those psychological disorders. Therapeutic attitudes displayed by family practitioners were also evaluated. The results of the study reveal a high prevalence of de...
