Canine dirofilariasis due to Dirofilaria immitis is known be endemic in continental Portugal. However, information about the transmitting mosquito species still scarce, with only Culex theileri identified date, albeit L1-2, through dissection. This study was carried out investigate potential vectors of spp. Mosquitoes were collected three distinct seasons (Summer, Autumn and Spring), 2011–2013, districts. CDC traps indoor resting collections vicinity kennels. kept under controlled conditions...
Abstract Wolbachia pipientis (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) protects mosquitoes from infections with arboviruses and parasites. However, the effect of its co‐infection on vector competence for Dirofilaria immitis (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) in wild has not been investigated. This study aimed to screen vectors D. w Pip, characterize these, investigate a possible association between occurrence W. that nematode. The presence was assessed five mosquito potential Portugal. Polymerase chain...
Abstract Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. Among Schistosoma species known to infect humans, S. mansoni most frequent cause intestinal schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and South America: World Health Organization estimates that about 200,000 deaths per year result from alone. The life cycle requires two different hosts: snail as intermediate host mammal definitive host. People become infected when they come into contact with water...
