Epidemiology of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Circulating in Wild Boars of Portugal...
Moreira, AS; Santos-Silva, S; Mega, J; Palmeira, JD; Torres, RT; Mesquita, JRPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) is associated with several syndromes affecting swine, also known as porcine-circovirus-associated diseases, of which post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome stands out due to its high economic impact on swine production.

Balantioides coli Fecal Excretion in Hunted Wild Cervids (Cervus elaphus and Da...
Mega, J; Santos-Silva, S; Loureiro, A; Palmeira, JD; Torres, RT; Rivero-Juarez, A; Carmena, D; Mesquita, JBalantioides coli is a zoonotic enteric protozoan parasite of public veterinary health relevance and a concern in animal production and food safety. While wild cervids are recognized reservoirs for several zoonotic pathogens, little is known about the occurrence of B. coli in deer species, especially in Europe. To fill this gap, a total of 130 fecal samples from legally hunted red deer (Cervus elaphus, n = 95) ...
