Molecular epidemiology of aspergillosis in Magellanic penguins and susceptibili...
Melo, Aryse Martins; Poester, Vanice Rodrigues; Canabarro, Paula Lima; Sampaio, Daniel Ataíde; Stevens, David A; Veríssimo, Cristina; Sabino, RaquelAspergillus section Fumigati is reported in up to 99% of aspergillosis cases in penguins. So far, no data regarding molecular epidemiology and azole resistance are available for A. fumigatus isolates collected from Magellanic penguins. The aim of this work was to perform molecular identification of Aspergillus section Fumigati at species level, to genotype those isolates using microsatellite markers, to evaluat...
Influenza A(H3) whole genome analysis: searching causes for vaccine failure in ...
Pechirra, Pedro; Maia, Ana Carina; Sampaio, Daniel Ataíde; Borges, Vítor; Gomes, João Paulo; Guiomar, RaquelBackground: The 2011/2012 season in Portugal, was characterized by an excess mortality and influenza vaccine failures. Predominant influenza A(H3) viruses with new antigenic properties were associated with potential host immune evasion. The aim of this study was to determine possible viral genetic causes that may be associated with cases of vaccine failure by performing a whole genome-based comparison of viruse...
