Prevention of canine Leishmania infantum infection is critical to management of visceral leishmaniasis in people living in endemic areas of Brazil. A bill (PL 1738/11), currently under consideration, proposes to establish a national vaccination policy against canine leishmaniasis in Brazil. However, there is no solid scientific evidence supporting the idea that this could reduce transmission […]

Tongue nodules in canine leishmaniosis–a case report.

  • Autores: Albuquerque C, Campino L, Cardoso L, Dias I, Machado J, Pires MA, Requicha J, Sargo T, Viegas C
  • Ano de Publicação: 2012

  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22704596

BACKGROUND:
Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) caused by Leishmania infantum is an endemic zoonosis in southern European countries. Infected dogs can present rare or atypical forms of the disease and diagnosis can be challenging. The present report describes a case of tongue nodules in a 3-year-old neutered female Labrador Retriever dog with leishmaniosis.

Risk factors for canine leishmaniasis in an endemic Mediterranean region.

Human visceral leishmaniasis is an emergent/re-emergent parasitic zoonotic disease in Europe caused by Leishmania infantum, with domestic dog as its main reservoir host. This study presents the results of a canine epidemiological survey in a mediterranean region where human and canine leishmaniasis (CanL) are endemic – Portugal.

Prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis antigen and antibodies to Leishmania infantum in cats from southern Portugal

  • Autores: Campino L, Cardoso L, Coimbra M, Maia C, Ramos C
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Parasitology International
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25463307

Vector-borne diseases (VBD) are caused by a range of pathogens transmitted by arthropods and have emerged in recent years, showing a wider geographic distribution and increased global prevalence. In addition to their veterinary medical importance, cats play a central role in the transmission cycles of some VBD agents by acting as reservoirs, amplifying hosts or sentinels.

First Report of Thelazia Callipaeda in red foxes (Vulpes Vulpes) from Portugal

The first cases of infection with the eyeworm Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Portugal are described. Worms were collected from 1 fox (7 worms) in the north and from 2 foxes (10 worms) in the central region of the country.

Prevalence and correlates of antibodies to Neospora caninum in dogs in Portugal

  • Autores: Brancal H, Campino L, Cardoso L, Cortes H, Lopes AP, Maia C, Pimenta P
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Parasite
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4073620/

Neosporosis, caused by Neospora caninum, is an important cause of abortion in cattle and of neurological disease in dogs. This study investigated the prevalence and correlates of antibodies to N. caninum in 441 dogs from the five regions of mainland Portugal. A commercial competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) was used and specific antibodies were detected in 35 (7.9%) dogs.

Bacterial and protozoal agents of feline vector-borne diseases in domestic and stray cats from southern Portugal

  • Autores: Bastos F, Campino L, Cardoso L, Coimbra M, Maia C, Martins A, Nunes M, Pinto P, Ramos C, Vieira ML
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Parasites & Vectors
  • Link: http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/7/1/115

Feline vector-borne diseases (FVBD) have emerged in recent years, showing a wider geographic distribution and increased global prevalence. In addition to their veterinary importance, domestic cats play a central role in the transmission cycles of some FVBD agents by acting as reservoirs and sentinels, a circumstance that requires a One Health approach. The aim of the present work was to molecularly detect feline vector-borne bacteria and protozoa with veterinary and zoonotic importance, and to assess associated risk factors in cats from southern Portugal.

Molecular detection of bacterial and parasitic pathogens in hard ticks from Portugal

  • Autores: Campino L, Cardoso L, Ferreira A, Maia C, Nunes M, Vieira ML
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24745731

Ticks are important vector arthropods of human and animal pathogens. As information about agents of disease circulating in vectors in Portugal is limited, the aim of the present study was to detect bacteria and parasites with veterinary and zoonotic importance in ticks collected from dogs, cats, and field vegetation. A total of 925 ticks, comprising 888 (96.0%) adults, 8 (0.9%) nymphs, and 29 (3.1%) larvae, were collected in 4 geographic areas (districts) of Portugal.

Genetic diversity evaluation on Portuguese Leishmania infantum strains by multilocus microsatellite typing

  • Autores: Campino L, Cardoso L, Cortes S, Kuhls K, Lopes C, Marcos M, Mauricio IL, Nunes M, Schoenian G
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24815728

Leishmania infantum is the main etiological agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean region, including Portugal, but, given its low isoenzyme diversity in this country, the population structure is poorly known. A set of 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers was studied on 136 Portuguese Leishmania strains isolated from different hosts, geographic regions and different clinical forms. A total of 108 different genotypes were found, which is a degree of genetic diversity comparable to other regions, even within zymodeme MON-1.
