- Análise molecular de amostras de Talaromyces marnefei de diferentes proveniênciasPublication . Marques, J.; Martins, S.; Alves, D.; Santos, Marlene; Saraiva, Sofia; Soares, Ana Sofia; Matos, Ana Cristina; Figueira, Luís; Coelho, Ana Cláudia; Matos, Manuela
- Isolation of Talaromyces marneffei from the Skin of an Egyptian Mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) in PortugalPublication . Matos, Ana Cristina; Alves, D.; Saraiva, Sofia; Soares, Ana Sofia; Soriano, Tatiana; Figueira, Luís; Fraga, Fátima; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaWe report a case of Talaromyces marneffei skin infection in an Egyptian mongoose ( Herpestes ichneumon) in Portugal. The isolated fungus was identified through its mycologic characteristics, morphology, and PCR amplification.
- Occurrence of Talaromyces marneffei in wild mammals in PortugalPublication . Matos, Ana Cristina; Alves, D.; Saraiva, Sofia; Figueira, Luís; Soares, Ana Sofia; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaTalaromyces marneffei is a thermally dimorphic fungus that is endemic in some parts of Asia causing a fatal systemic mycosis in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of T. marneffei in the fur of wild mammals in Portugal.

- Primeiro caso de deteção de Talaromyces marneffei num felinoPublication . Alves, D.; Saraiva, Sofia; Matos, Ana Cristina; Alves, S.; Soares, Ana Sofia; João, S.; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaPrimeiro caso de deteção de Talaromyces marneffei num felino.
- The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) as carriers of dermatophytes in PortugalPublication . Matos, Ana Cristina; Alves, D.; Coelho, Ana Cláudia; Matos, Manuela; Cardoso, Luís; Figueira, Luís; Soares, Ana Sofia; Saraiva, SofiaDermatophytosis is a common dermatological infection, affecting humans, pets, domestic ruminants and wild animals. They are a cause for concern as they represent a risk to public and animal health. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of dermatophyte infection in wild mammals (road-killed and hunted) in Portugal. Fungal isolation was performed in the fur and scales of 101 wild mammals. Based on the observation of microstructures and colony morphology, fungal isolates were identified to the genus level. Dermatophytes were found in two of the 10 studied species: 3/51 (5.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0–12.3%) red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and 5/19 (2.6%; 95% CI: 0.0–9.8%) Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon). These species represent different taxonomic families: Canidae and Viverridae and it is therefore important to infer the role of infection in these animals studied for dermatophytosis.
