Lozano, João; Louro, Mariana; Almeida, Cristina; Victório, Ana Cláudia; Melo, Pedro; Rodrigues, João Paulo; Oliveira, Manuela; Paz-Silva, AdolfoFungal strains used in the biocontrol of animal gastrointestinal parasites have been mainly isolated from pasture soil, decaying organic matter, and feces from herbivores and carnivores. However, their isolation from birds and assessment of predatory activity against avian GI parasites has been scarce thus far. This research aimed to isolate flamentous fungi from avian fecal samples and evaluate their predatory...
Implementation of Mini-FLOTAC in routine diagnosis of Coccidia and Helminth inf...
Lozano, João; Almeida, Cristina; Victório, Ana Cláudia; Melo, Pedro; Rodrigues, João Paulo; Rinaldi, Laura; Cringoli, Giuseppe; Gomes, LídiaMini-FLOTAC (MF) has recently been proposed for the fecal quantification of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in birds due to its higher sensitivity and precision in comparison with the McMaster method. The current research aimed to test the use of MF in routine diagnosis of coccidia and helminth infections in several domestic and exotic bird collections in Portugal. Between July 2020 and April 2021, a total of 1...
