- Analysis of sequence variability of prion protein gene (PRNP) in Portuguese cervid populations species: red deer, fallow deer and roe deerPublication . Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, João; Mendonça, Paula; Carvalho, Paulo; Tavares, Paula; Lima, Carla; Alves, Anabela; Esteves, Alexandra; Pinto, Maria de Lurdes; Pires, Isabel; Gama, Adelina; Sargo, Roberto; Silva, Filipe; Seixas, Fernanda; Pinto, Madalena Vieira; Pires, Maria dos AnjosTransmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) or prion diseases are a family of neurodegenerative diseases caused by lethal infectious pathogens called Prions. Among the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now the rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the first case was detected in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until October 2021, a total of 40 cases were described in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The study of the genetics of the prion protein gene, PRNP, has been proved to be a valuable tool for determining the relative susceptibility to TSEs.
- Are Western Iberian roe deer populations hotspots of genetic diversity?Publication . Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, João; Mendonça, Paula; Carvalho, Paulo; Tavares, Paula; Lima, Carla; Alves, Anabela; Esteves, Alexandra; Pinto, Maria de Lurdes; Pires, Isabel; Gama, Adelina; Sargo, Roberto; Silva, Filipe; Seixas, Fernanda; Pinto, Madalena Vieira; Pires, Maria dos AnjosGiven its geographic isolation, and after the last glaciation, the Iberian Peninsula, become a sanctuary of plants and animal’s diversification, being considered a hotspot of genetic diversity specially for mammal species. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus - CCR), an herbivore ungulate, has a widespread geographical distribution which extends from the Iberian Peninsula to the north of Scandinavia, being found as well in Turkey, Israel, and Jordan. C. capreolus populations have been subject to a significant number of fluctuations, especially due to anthropogenic activities, which led to a decrease in size and distribution. These alterations combined with translocations of animals of the same species, can lead to meaningful consequences on the genetic structure, diversity, and fitness of populations.

- Chronic wasting disease risk assessment in Portugal: analysis of variability and genetic structure of the portuguese roe deer populatioPublication . Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, João; Mendonça, Paula; Carvalho, Paulo; Tavares, Paula; Lima, Carla; Alves, Anabela; Esteves, Alexandra; Pinto, Maria de Lurdes; Pires, Isabel; Gama, Adelina; Sargo, Roberto; Silva, Filipe; Seixas, Fernanda; Pinto, Madalena Vieira; Pires, Maria dos AnjosAmong the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids is now the rising concern in wildlife within Europe after the first case detected in Norway in 2016. CWD shows a notable horizontal transmission, affecting both free-ranging and captive cervids. Furthermore, several genetic variants in the Prion Protein (PRNP) gene coding sequence of the cervid were identified, which increase the susceptibility to the disease. Roe deer has a widespread geographical distribution which extends from the Iberian Peninsula to the north of Scandinavia, being found as well in Turkey, Israel, and Jordan. In recent centuries, a significant number of fluctuations have occurred in these deer populations, leading to a decline in deer population and distribution. These alterations combined with translocations of animals of the same species, can drive to meaningful consequences on the genetic structure, diversity, and fitness of populations.
