De Novo Assembly of the Dirofilaria immitis Genome by Long-Read Nanopore-Based ...
Gomes-de-Sá, S; Barradas, P; Queirós-Reis, L; Matas, IM; Amorim, I; Cardoso, L; Muñoz-Mérida, A; Mesquita, JRDirofilaria immitis is a zoonotic parasitic nematode that infects domestic and wild canids, among its vertebrate hosts. The genetic analysis of D. immitis nowadays transcends the need for genetic taxonomy of nematodes, such as the study of resistance to macrocyclic lactone. We expanded the use of long-read nanopore-based sequencing technology on nematodes by performing genomic de novo assembly of a D. immitis s...
Dirofilaria immitis antigenemia and microfilaremia in Iberian wolves and red fo...
Gomes-de-Sá, S; Santos-Silva, S; Moreira, AS; Barradas, PF; Amorim, I; Cardoso, L; Mesquita, JRBackground: Dirofilaria immitis is a parasitic nematode endemic in the Mediterranean countries, which causes cardiopulmonary dirofilariosis in wild and domestic animals. Despite being recognized hosts of D. immitis, wild carnivores such as wolves and foxes are frequently disregarded when considering a potential role in the transmission of these zoonotic nematodes. In Portugal, studies available regarding D. imm...
Assessment of the circulation of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs from northern Port...
Gomes-de-Sá, S; Santos-Silva, S; Moreira, AS; Barradas, PF; Amorim, I; Cardoso, L; Mesquita, JRDirofilariasis is a vector-borne disease frequent in many countries. Not only infected dogs, but also cats and wild canids (including wolves and foxes), represent important sources of infection for mosquitoes, which are the pathogen vectors. The disease is endemic in Mediterranean countries with increasing incidence in Italy, France, Greece and Spain, but limited epidemiological data is available from Portugal ...
