- Detection of Francisella spp. in wild animal lymph nodes and lungs by PCR and histopathological techniques.Publication . Coelho, Ana Cláudia; João, S.; Ribeiro, A.; Matos, Ana Cristina; Figueira, Luís; Soares, Ana Sofia; Pinto, Maria de Lurdes; Matos, ManuelaThe Genetics and Biotechnology Conference (JGB) of the University of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) is an annual scientific event organized jointly by the Nucleus of Students of Genetics and Biotechnology (ADNGB) of UTAD and the Direction of the Course of Genetics and Biotechnology in collaboration with the teaching staff of the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology (DGB). As a result of the scientificpedagogical partnership established between professors of DGB (UTAD) and of Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of León (UL), Spain, it was considered important to repeat the shared organization of this event between professors and students of the UTAD and UL designating it as XII Genetics and Biotechnology Conference / II Genetics and Biotechnology Iberian Conference (XII JGB / II JIGB). The main objective of the XII JGB /II JIGB is to update knowledge in the area of Genetics and Biotechnology. To this end, the focus of this event is the conferences given by renowned national and international scientists and the thematic workshops that will constitute more practical sessions. The XII JGB /II JIGB will also focus on interaction, exchange of experiences and scientific debates between Portuguese and Spanish students and professors. The best oral and posters presentations will be awarded. The target audience is Portuguese and Spanish students, researchers and university professors from the scientific areas of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology as well as High School teachers from the Biology area. A wide variety of topics will be discussed, in the different areas of Genetics and Biotechnology, such as Plant, Animal, Human, Microbial, Evolutionary, Cancer, Forensic, Ethics, Entrepreneurship, among others.
- First morphological and molecular isolation of Talaromyces marneffei in beech marten (Martes foina) in PortugalPublication . Matos, Ana Cristina; Baptista, Catarina Jota; Oliveira, Paula A.; Soares, Ana Sofia; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaTalaromyces marneffei is a zoonotic fungus that mostly infects immunocompromised individuals. For the first time, this fungus was isolated in an adult beech marten (Martes foina) hit by a car, found dead in Penamacor, Portugal. During the necropsy, different samples (skin, fur, lymph nodes, lung, spleen, kidneys, and brain) were collected and processed for microbiology (including mycology) and molecular biology. T. marneffei was identified through its mycological characteristics and confirmed by PCR in hair samples. No other lesions or alterations were reported, except a concomitant presence of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis in lung, kidney and brain samples. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first description of this fungus beech marten, as well as the first case of co-infection with M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis in wildlife fauna. These results suggest a sylvatic lifecycle of T. marneffei, involving beech martens, in Portugal.
- Five years in the detection of Talaromyces marneffei in Portugal. It’s time to think about!Publication . Coelho, Ana Cláudia; Matos, Ana Cristina; Figueira, Luís; Soares, Ana Sofia; Ferreira, R.; Ferreira, T.; Santos, Marlene; 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.
- Prevalence of saprophytic mycobiota in road-killed and hunted wild mammals in PortugalPublication . Soares, Ana Sofia; Matos, Ana Cristina; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaPrevalence of saprophytic mycobiota in road-killed and hunted wild mammals in Portugal.
