Pereira, Jorge C.; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Orge, Leonor; Pires, Maria dos Anjos; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, JoãoAmong the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now a rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the detection of the first case in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until June 2022 a total of 34 cases were described in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The definite diagnosis is post-mortem, performed in target areas of the brain and lymph nodes. Sampl...

Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, JoãoTransmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) or prion diseases are a family of neurodegenerative diseases caused by lethal infectious pathogens called Prions. Among the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now the rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the first case was detected in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until October 2021, a to...

Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana CristinaAmong the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids is now the rising concern in wildlife within Europe after the first case detected in Norway in 2016. CWD shows a notable horizontal transmission, affecting both free-ranging and captive cervids. Furthermore, several genetic variants in the Prion Protein (PRNP) gene coding sequence of the cervid were identified, which i...

Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana CristinaThe chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now a rising concern in wildlife within Europe, since the first case detected in Norway in 2016, 40 more appear until May of 2022, in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The unclear origin of these new European cases and the risk that CWD poses to cohabiting ani-mals or more importantly to humans is largely unknown, is very important for the establishment of risk assessme...
Are Western Iberian roe deer populations hotspots of genetic diversity?
Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana CristinaGiven its geographic isolation, and after the last glaciation, the Iberian Peninsula, become a sanctuary of plants and animal’s diversification, being considered a hotspot of genetic diversity specially for mammal species. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus - CCR), an herbivore ungulate, has a widespread geographical distribution which extends from the Iberian Peninsula to the north of Scandinavia, being found a...

Scrapie at abattoir: monitoring, control, and differential diagnosis of wasting...
Esteves, Alexandra; Vieira-Pinto, Madalena; Quintas, Helder; Orge, Leonor; Gama, Adelina; Alves, Anabela; Seixas, Fernanda; Pires, IsabelWasting disease in small ruminants is frequently detected at slaughterhouses. The wasting disorder is manifested by the deterioration of the nutritional and physiological state of the animal indicated by thinness, emaciation, and cachexia. Evidence of emaciation and cachexia, alone, are pathological conditions leading to carcass condemnation during an inspection. Several diseases are associated with a wasting c...
