Occurrence and Diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in Animals in Portugal: Novel Data and Public Health Implications

Mariana Louro, João Lozano, Patrícia Lopes, Paulo Alves et autres

INTRODUCTION: Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are common intestinal protozoa with zoonotic potential, affecting a broad range of domestic and wild animals. In Portugal, knowledge on their occurrence and genetic diversity remains fragmented. This study integrates new molecular results from multiple animal …

Epidemiology and treatment of respiratory nematode infections in western European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus)

Catarina Jota Baptista, Inês Gama, Julia Serena, Petr Heneberg et autres

Respiratory nematodes are common in rescued western European hedgehogs ( Erinaceus europaeus ), but their epidemiology and treatment in rehabilitation settings remain poorly defined. We investigated respiratory nematode infections in 78 fecal samples of 30 hedgehogs admitted to a wildlife rehabilitation center …

Uncovering haemosporidian diversity in urban Feral Pigeons (Columba livia domestica) in Lisbon, Portugal: integrated molecular and morphological insights

João T. Cruz, Luís Madeira de Carvalho, Mário. A. G. Quaresma, Ana Pericao et autres

Abstract Avian haemosporidian parasites ( Plasmodium , Haemoproteus , and Leucocytozoon ) are widespread haemoparasites that can impact avian health and fitness. Feral Pigeons ( Columba livia domestica ) are abundant in urban environments, yet the diversity and prevalence of haemosporidians in …

Coproparasitological Survey of Stranded Cetaceans on Portugal’s Mainland Coastline

André Lobão, Mariana Louro, João Lozano, Isabel Pereira da Fonseca et autres

Parasitism affects nearly half of all animal species and strongly influences ecosystem dynamics. Despite their sentinel value, parasitic infections in cetaceans remain understudied. This study assessed the diversity, prevalence, and burden of gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites in seventy-five stranded cetaceans from six …

Gastrointestinal and cardiopulmonary parasites in canines and felines of the Azores Islands - Portugal

Romana Teixeira, João Lozano, Isilda Flor, Carlos Pinto et autres

Insular territories offer several biotic and abiotic conditions conductive for the spread of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in companion animals, as well as their transmission to humans. However, information regarding this topic is still scarce. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence …

Ultrastructural Evaluation (SEM) of Ascaris lumbricoides Eggs Treated with Silver Nanoparticles Biosynthesised by Duddingtonia flagrans Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Carolina Magri Ferraz, João Pedro Barbosa de Assis, Eduarda Cavalini Guerini, Juliany Veloso Leal et autres

Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the most epidemiologically significant soil-transmitted helminths, and the environmental persistence of its eggs is largely attributed to their robust structural architecture. The search for ovicidal alternatives capable of overcoming this barrier has increasingly focused on metallic nanoparticles …
