Phylogenetic insights on Leishmania detected in cats as revealed by nucleotide sequence analysis of multiple genetic markers

  • Autores: Pereira A, Parreira R, Cristovao JM, Castelli G, Bruno F, Vitale F, Campino L, Maia C
  • Ano de Publicação: 2020
  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution
  • Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567134819302953?via%3Dihub

Cats have been found infected by the same Leishmania species that also infect dogs and humans in both the New and Old Worlds, and their role as additional reservoir hosts of L. infantum has been previously suggested. Currently, the genetic diversity of Leishmania spp. detected in cats is poorly understood. In this cross-sectional study, the […]

Novel multiregion hybridization assay for the identification of the most prevalent genetic forms of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 circulating in Portugal

  • Autores: Esteves A, Freitas FB, Parreira R, Piedade J

The most efficient method for HIV-1 genetic characterization involves full-genome sequencing, but the associated costs, technical features, and low throughput preclude it from being routinely used for the analysis of large numbers of viral strains. Multiregion hybridization assays (MHA) represent an alternative for a consistent genetic analysis of large numbers of viral strains. Classically, MHA rely on the amplification by real-time PCR of several regions scattered along the HIV-1 genome, and on their characterization with clade-specific TaqMan probes (also known as hydrolysis probes).

Characterization of an insect-specific flavivirus (OCFVPT) co-isolated from Ochlerotatus caspius collected in southern Portugal along with a putative new Negev-like virus

  • Autores: Abecasis A, Cook S, de Almeida APG, de Matos AP, Esteves A, Ferreira DD, Lopes A, Parreira R, Piedade J

We describe the isolation and characterization of an insect-specific flavivirus (ISF) from Ochlerotatus caspius (Pallas, 1771) mosquitoes collected in southern Portugal. The RNA genome of this virus, tentatively designated OCFVPT, for O. caspius flavivirus from Portugal, encodes a polyprotein showing all the features expected for a flavivirus. As frequently observed for ISF, the viral genomes seems to encode a putative Fairly Interesting Flavivirus ORF (FIFO)-like product, the synthesis of which would occur as a result of a -1 translation frameshift event. OCFVPT was isolated in the C6/36 Stegomyia albopicta (= Aedes albopictus) cell line where it replicates rapidly, but failed to replicate in Vero cells in common with other ISFs.

Portugal is a southern European country that displays favorable ecological conditions for the establishment of West Nile virus (WNV) transmission cycles. Competent mosquito vector species are present throughout the country.

A new genotype 2 subcluster identified among GBV-C strains circulating in the Lisbon metropolitan area of Portugal

  • Autores: Branco C, Esteves A, Parreira R, Piedade J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2010
  • Journal: Journal of Medical Virology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=A+new+genotype+2+subcluster+identified+among+GBV-C+strains+circulating+in+the+Lisbon+metropolitan+area+of+Portugal.

The rate of infection by the GBV-C virus was investigated in a group of 214 individuals at high risk of infection with parenterally transmitted viruses, and all living in the Lisbon metropolitan area (Portugal). RNA was extracted from plasma samples, and a fragment of the 5′-UTR was amplified by RT-PCR, disclosing a high prevalence of infection (40.7%).

A divergent insect-specific flavivirus that causes overt cytopathic effect in a mosquito cell-line

  • Autores: Almeida AP, Alves de Matos AP, Duque Ferreira D, Esteves A, Lopes A, Parreira R, Piedade J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Microscopy and Microanalysis
  • Link: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8964978&fileId=S1431927613001049

This work reports the initial characterization, including near full-length sequence analysis, of an ISF which seems to form a divergent lineage within the ISF radiation, as indicated by phylogenetic analysis based on ac multiple sequence alignment of the NS5 flavivirus coding sequence.

GB virus C (GBV-C) evolutionary patterns revealed by analyses of reference genomes, E2 and NS5B sequences amplified from viral strains circulating in the Lisbon area (Portugal).

  • Autores: Branco C, Esteves A, Parreira R, Piedade J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2012
  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution

GBV-C is a non-pathogenic virus that is largely dispersed in different human populations. The phylogenetic analysis of the 5′-untranslated region (5’UTR) of the GBV-C genome has led to the segregation of viral strains into six genotypes, but incongruent results are frequently obtained depending on the genome region analyzed. In this report, different phylogenetic approaches and multivariate statistics were combined to disclose evolutionary patterns that contribute to shape GBV-C evolution.

Infection by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus causes a disease known as cystic echinococcosis or hydatidosis, which is one of the most widespread zoonotic infections of veterinary and medical importance.
