Molecular and serological screening support the lack of Coxiella burnetii circu...
Loureiro, Filipa; Mesquita, João R.; Cardoso, Luis; Pintado, Cristina Santos; Gonçalves, S. Gomes; Matos, Ana; Soeiro, V.; Gonçalves, A.; Silva, FilipeCoxiella burnetii is a highly infectious zoonotic pathogenic bacterium that has a major economic impact in the livestock industry throughout the world and causes unpredictable outbreaks in humans worldwide. Although it is known that birds are potential reservoirs of C. burnetii, their role in the epidemiological cycle of the pathogen has not been fully verified. Due to its non-specific symptoms and clinical sig...
Usutu virus in the Iberian peninsula: A systematic review
Loureiro, Filipa; Mesquita, João R.; Cardoso. Luis; Matos, Ana C.; Matos, Ana; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaStudies on Usutu virus (USUV) in Europe have been increasing through time, with USUV infection being identified in humans and animals. The emergence of USUV in Europe draws our attention to how an arbovirus is able to spread, adapt, and evolve in a unconventional environment. Understanding the epidemiological and evolutionary processes that contribute to the appearance, maintenance, and further spread of viral ...
Detection of Bagaza virus in Europe: A scoping review
Loureiro, Filipa; Mesquita, João R.; Cardoso, Luis; Matos, Ana; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaThe Bagaza virus (BAGV) belongs to the genus Orthoflavivirus (Ntaya serocomplex) and emerged in Europe, Spain, in 2010. The natural transmission cycle of this virus is perpetuated by Culex spp. mosquitoes and viraemic birds. The ability of BAGV to cause infection in several game birds from the family Phasianidae has been well-studied. BAGV is antigenically similar to other orthoflaviviruses from the Japanese en...
Seroprevalence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Infections in Sma...
Quintas, Helder; Benavides, Júlio; Jacob-Ferreira, João; Afonso, Paulo; Coelho, Ana CláudiaParatuberculosis, also known as Johne’s disease, is a granulomatous enteritis in both domestic and wild ruminants caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Understanding the prevalence of this disease in small ruminants is essential for disease control and prevention strategies. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases to...
Dermatophytosis in Companion Animals in Portugal: A Comprehensive Epidemiologic...
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...
