Developmental assets in emerging adulthood—Systematic review

Characterizing emerging adulthood as a period of the life course has proven to be relevant in understanding development and intervention with a focus on a positive orientation in the life course trajectory. Characterized by individualization, this period implies that people are increasingly compelled to depend on their own resources to build their life course trajectory. Identifying which resources place the pe...

Talaromyces marneffeiisolated from nasal swabs in Portugal

Mycobiota are essential to the health of any living being, creating a balanced and complex interaction between bacteria, the immune system, and the tissue cells of the host. Talaromyces marneffei (also known as Penicillium marneffei) is a dimorphic fungus, endemic in South Asia, which often causes a life-threatening systemic fungal infection (called penicilliosis), particularly in immunocompromised hosts. Nasal...

Prevalence of saprophytic mycobiota in road-killed and hunted wild mammals in Portugal.

First morphological and molecular isolation of Talaromyces marneffei in beech m...

Talaromyces marneffei is a zoonotic fungus that mostly infects immunocompromised individuals. For the first time, this fungus was isolated in an adult beech marten (Martes foina) hit by a car, found dead in Penamacor, Portugal. During the necropsy, different samples (skin, fur, lymph nodes, lung, spleen, kidneys, and brain) were collected and processed for microbiology (including mycology) and molecular biology...

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) as carr...

Dermatophytosis is a common dermatological infection, affecting humans, pets, domestic ruminants and wild animals. They are a cause for concern as they represent a risk to public and animal health. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of dermatophyte infection in wild mammals (road-killed and hunted) in Portugal. Fungal isolation was performed in the fur and scales of 101 wild mammals. Based on ...

The effect of a tannin enriched topical formulation on mice ears fungal biodive...

Cytinus hypocistis (L.) L. is a holoparasitic plant on various Cistaceae family members occurring in the Mediterranean region. This specie has long been used in European popular medicine due to their astringent and haemostatic properties. Current studies attributed its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties to their hydrolysable tannin content. Therefore, the extracts of these plants might...

Detection of Francisella spp. in wild animal lymph nodes and lungs by PCR and h...

The Genetics and Biotechnology Conference (JGB) of the University of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) is an annual scientific event organized jointly by the Nucleus of Students of Genetics and Biotechnology (ADNGB) of UTAD and the Direction of the Course of Genetics and Biotechnology in collaboration with the teaching staff of the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology (DGB). As a result of the scientific...

Occurrence of Talaromyces marneffei in wild mammals in Portugal

Talaromyces marneffei is a thermally dimorphic fungus that is endemic in some parts of Asia causing a fatal systemic mycosis in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of T. marneffei in the fur of wild mammals in Portugal.
