Prevalence, diversity and risk factors of gastrointestinal parasites in dogs ho...
Lopes, Patrícia; Gomes, Jacinto; Lozano, João; Louro, Mariana; Carvalho, Luís Madeira de; Fonseca, Isabel Pereira da; Lobo, Ricardo; Monteiro, FernandoGastrointestinal parasites (GIP) are among the most common pathogens that affect dogs globally, with some species representing a zoonotic threat. Stray and shelter dogs are especially vulnerable to parasitism as their clinical history is often unknown, and copro-parasitological analyses are seldom performed upon animal arrival at shelters. In Portugal, official shelters play a pivotal role in sheltering and man...
Integrated control of avian gastrointestinal parasites : optimizing their copro...
Lozano, João; Lozano, João Miguel PestanaIn the last 30 years, several improvements were achieved in the control of animals’ gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism, including the development of more sensitive and precise coprological diagnosis techniques, like Mini-FLOTAC (MF), as well as the use of predatory fungi as a sustainable solution for parasite control. This project aimed to optimize the MF method for the diagnosis of avian GI parasitism, and to is...
First insights on the susceptibility of native coccidicidal fungi Mucor circine...
Lozano, João; Cunha, Eva; de Carvalho, Luís Madeira; Paz-Silva, Adolfo; Oliveira, ManuelaBackground The combined application of predatory fungi and antiparasitic drugs is a sustainable approach for the integrated control of animal gastrointestinal (GI) parasites. However, literature addressing the possible interference of antiparasitic drugs on the performance of these fungi is still scarce. This research aimed to assess the in vitro susceptibility of six native coccidicidal fungi isolates of the s...

Analyzing the safety of the parasiticide fungus Mucor circinelloides : first in...
Lozano, João; Cunha, Eva; Almeida, Cristina; Nunes, Mónica; Dias, Ricardo; Vicente, Eduardo; Sebastião, Daniela; Henriques, SérgioParasiticide fungi are considered an accurate, sustainable, and safe solution for the biocontrol of animal gastrointestinal (GI) parasites. This research provides an initial characterization of the virulence of the native parasiticide fungus Mucor circinelloides (FMV-FR1) and an assessment of its impact on birds’ gut microbes. The genome of this fungus was sequenced to identify the genes coding for virulence fa...
Testing Mini-FLOTAC for the Monitorization of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infect...
Lozano, João; Pombo, Cándido; Salmo, Rami; Cazapal-Monteiro, Cristiana; Arias, María Sol; Carvalho, Daniela; Lordelo, Madalena; Batista, AugustoBirds kept in zoological institutions are highly exposed to gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism caused by coccidia and nematodes. The current research aimed to characterize the avian GI parasitic fauna in several zoological collections in Portugal and Spain. During the full year of 2022, a total of 120 fecal samples were collected from four zoological institutions: Lisbon Zoo, Olivais Pedagogical Farm, and Avian B...

Lozano, João; Almeida, Cristina; Vicente, Eduardo; Sebastião, Daniela; Palomero, Antonio Miguel; Cazapal-Monteiro, Cristiana; Arias, María SolThe biological control of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites using predatory fungi has been recently proposed as an accurate and sustainable approach in birds. The current study aimed to assess for the first time the efficacy of using the native ovicidal fungus Mucor circinelloides (FMV-FR1) in reducing coccidia parasitism in peacocks. For this purpose, an in vivo trial was designed in the resident peacock collect...
