Patterns of tick infestation and their Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. infection in wild birds in Portugal. Wild birds may act as reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens and may be mechanical carriers of pathogen infected vector ticks through long distances during migration. The aim of this study was to assess tick infestation patterns in birds in Portugal and the prevalence of tick infection by Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. using PCR techniques. Seven tick species were collected from birds including Haemaphysali. 2015.

Screening of mosquitoes as vectores of F. tularensis in Portugal. Background: Francisella tularensis subsp. holartica is the etiologic agent of type B tularemia, an emergent zoonosis that occurred recently in Portugal´s neighboring country Spain, where there was an outbreak in 2007.(1) This fact has propelled the research of this pathogen in Portugal. Mosquitoes Culex spp. and Aedes spp. are considered important vectors of the pathogen in Sweden(2) but in Portug. 2012.

Francisella-like endosymbiont in Dermacentor reticulatus collected in Portugal. In Portugal, recent studies have confirmed the presence of Francisella tularensis in Dermacentor reticulatus. Bacterial endosymbionts with significant homology to F. tularensis have been described in several species of ticks. In this work we identified Francisella-like endosymbionts in D. reticulatus ticks (39%), confirming the presence of these bacteria in Portugal. This finding should be conside. 2011.
