Prevalence and risk factors for giardia duodenalis infection among children: a ...

Background Giardia duodenalis is a widespread parasite of mammalian species, including humans. The prevalence of this parasite in children residing in Portugal is currently unknown. This study intended to estimate G. duodenalis infection prevalence and identify possible associated risk factors in a healthy paediatric population living in the District of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. Methods Between Februar...

Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Factors among Enterococci Isolated from Cho...

Enterococci are ubiquitous microorganisms, found as part of the normal intestinal microbiota of many animals. They can be present in food products, for example, the Portuguese dry fermented sausage chourico. Twenty enterococci were isolated from chourico in two processing units; after identification and typification by conventional-molecular methods, the isolates were screened for virulence factors and antibiot...

Towards a risk assessment for Giardia sp. and Cryptosporidium sp. in Portuguese...

Abstract background: Waterborne outbreaks of diarrhoeal illness reported worldwide are mostly associated with Cryptosporidium sp. and Giardia sp. Lake and river waters contaminated with (oo)cysts are major routes of human exposure making essential the development of preventive strategies for water safety. Since monitoring of water contamination with (oo)cysts is not routinely performed in Portugal, this study a...

First report of bacterial speck of tomato caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. to...

Protected and open field tomato crops are economically important for Portuguese agriculture. In 1983, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Okabe, 1933) Young, Dye & Wilkie, 1978 was first reported affecting protected crops (3) and then later under open field conditions (1). In the 2009 spring/summer season, several outbreaks of bacterial speck of tomato showing an unusual degree of severity were observed in open fi...
