Three Decades of Research on Iberian Wild Ungulates: Key Insights and Promising...
Carvalho, João; Carpio, António; Figueiredo, Ana M.; Fonseca, Carlos; Ferreira, Eduardo; Serrano, Emmanuel; Barja, Isabel; Sánchez‐Zapata, JoséThe Iberian Peninsula is witnessing ever-faster environmental changes, and new challenges for wild ungulates are continuously emerging as they become more abundant and widespread. We conducted a systematic review to analyse the knowledge on wild ungulates inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula. We used Web of Science and Scopus search engines, complemented by searches in nonindexed journals, to examine peer-reviewed ...
A walk on the wild side: Wild ungulates as potential reservoirs of multi-drug r...
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Cunha, Mónica V.; Araujo, Débora; Ferreira, Helena; Fonseca, Carlos; Palmeira, Josman DantasExtended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales have been classified as critical priority pathogens by the World Health Organization (WHO). ESBL are universally distributed and, in 2006, were firstly reported on a wild animal. Understanding the relative contributions of wild animals to ESBL circulation in the environment is urgently needed. In this work, we have conducted a nationwide study in ...
Eucalyptus plantations alter spatiotemporal relationships of wild ungulates
Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Rosalino, L. M.; Teixeira, Daniela; Castro, Guilherme; Magalhães, Ana; Lima, Cátia; Fonseca, Carlos; Torres, Rita TinocoEucalyptus plantations, the second most economically important exotic tree in Europe, cover circa 1,5 million hectares on this continent. However, little is known about their effect on the ecological patterns of widely distributed and increasing populations of wild ungulates. This lack of knowledge jeopardizes our ability to correctly manage these populations in increasingly ubiquitous exotic forests. We aimed ...
A high-risk carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clone detected in red d...
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Cunha, Mónica V.; Ferreira, Helena; Fonseca, Carlos; Palmeira, Josman DantasPseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium, successfully exploiting a variety of environmental niches due to its remarkable metabolic versatility. The World Health Organization classifies P. aeruginosa as a “priority pathogen” due to its a great ability to overcome the action of antimicrobials, including carbapenems. Hitherto, most studies have focused on clinical settings from humans, but much less on an...
Emergence of colistin resistance genes (mcr-1) in Escherichia coli among widely...
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Cunha, Mónica V.; Araujo, Débora; Ferreira, Helena; Fonseca, Carlos; Palmeira, Josman DantasThe environment is considered a major reservoir of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms (AMR) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG). Colistin, a “last resort” antibiotic, is used for the treatment of severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The global dissemination of mobile colistin resistance genes (mcr) in natural and non-natural environments is a major setback in the figh...
Mapping the scientific knowledge of antimicrobial resistance in food-producing ...
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Carvalho, João; Fernandes, Joana; Palmeira, Josman D.; Cunha, Mónica V.; Fonseca, CarlosAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) can be highlighted as one of the most significant health concerns among the last decades, for which antimicrobial drug use in food-producing animals has contributed as one of the major drivers. Food-producing animals are one of the most important and rapidly expanding commercial agricultural sectors worldwide but there is currently limited knowledge on the temporal and geographica...
Wild boar as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Fernandes, Joana; Carvalho, João; Cunha, Mónica V.; Caetano, Tânia; Mendo, Sónia; Serrano, Emmanuel; Fonseca, CarlosAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized as an emerging and growing problem worldwide. Knowledge concerning AMR bacteria circulating in wildlife is currently limited, although it could provide important insights into AMR emergence and persistence. Across Europe, wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations have dramatically increased their distribution and number over the last decades. In the context of AMR dyn...
Temporal and geographical research trends of antimicrobial resistance in wildli...
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Carvalho, João; Cunha, Mónica V.; Serrano, Emmanuel; Palmeira, Josman Dantas; Fonseca, CarlosAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex and global problem. Despite the growing literature on AMR in the medical and veterinary settings, there is still a lack of knowledge on the wildlife compartment. The main aim of this study was to report the global trends in AMR research in wildlife, through a bibliometric study of articles found in the Web of Science database. Search terms were "ANTIMICROBIAL" OR "ANT...

Prevalence of zoonotic parasites in an endangered Iberian wolf (Canis lupus sig...
Figueiredo, Ana M.; Barros, Tânia; Valente, Ana M.; Fonseca, Carlos; Carvalho, Luís Madeira de; Torres, Rita TinocoAs a top predator, the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) plays a major role shaping interactions within food webs. Due to its conservation status in Portugal, i.e. endangered, it is important to understand the role of parasites in this population, since they can be a limiting factor for the population fitness and trophic interactions and, ultimately, their survival. From November 2017 to August 2018, 33 fresh...
