Resumo: | Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-borne zoonosis in northern hemisphere, but in Portugal, despite being a notifiable disease it remains under-diagnosed and reported. This emerging disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex spirochetes, transmitted through the bite of infected Ixodes genus ticks, particularly I. ricinus, the main vector in Europe. Several vertebrates serve as hosts for ticks, including large hunting species like wild boars, with great economic value for hunting and food sectors in the Trás-os-Montes region, whose role in the epidemiological cycle of LB remains undetermined. Sera from 90 wild boars shot in the Trás-os-Montes region (hunting season 2011/12) were collected and tested by nested-PCR. Borrelia DNA was detected for the first time in three sera, and sequencing results showed 100% similarity with B. afzelii, usually associated with small mammals (rodents, etc.). The results suggest that wild boars are a potential reservoir for this spirochete and its circulation in this region represents an infection risk for hunting- related occupational groups (hunters, gamekeepers, etc.) and hunting dogs, due to recurrent contact with tick-infested animals and vegetation. This work emphasizes the growing need for a "One Health" approach when it comes to emerging zoonotic disease control and prevention strategies, namely in LB. |

Esta doença emergente é causada por espiroquetas do complexo Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, transmitidas pela mordedura de carraças infetadas do género Ixodes, em particular I. ricinus, o principal vetor na Europa. Vários vertebrados são hospedeiros de carraças, entre os quais se inclui o javali, espécie cinegética de grande valor económico na região de Trás-os-Montes, e cujo papel no ciclo epidemiológico da BL permanece indeterminado. Soros de 90 javalis abatidos na referida região (época venatória 2011/12) foram recolhidos e analisados por nested-PCR. DNA de Borrelia foi detetado pela primeira vez em três animais, tendo os resultados de sequenciação mostrado 100% de similaridade com B. afzelii, geralmente associada a pequenos mamíferos (roedores, etc.). Estes resultados sugerem o javali como potencial reservatório desta espiroqueta, representando a sua circulação nesta região um risco de infeção para grupos ocupacionais relacionados com a caça (caçadores, gestores, etc.) e seus cães, devido ao contacto recorrente com animais e vegetação infestados por carraças . Este trabalho enfatiza a necessidade de uma abordagem "One Health" quanto a estratégias de prevenção e controlo de doenças zoonóticas emergentes, nomeadamente a BL.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2018-08-30T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.142oai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/142Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 14 (2015): 3º CONGRESSO NACIONAL DE MEDICINA TROPICAL & 1º CONGRESSO LUSÓFONO DE DOENÇAS TRANSMITIDAS POR VETORES; 31-34Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 14 (2015): 3º CONGRESSO NACIONAL DE MEDICINA TROPICAL & 1º CONGRESSO LUSÓFONO DE DOENÇAS TRANSMITIDAS POR VETORES; 31-342184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/142https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.142http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/142/116Faria, Ana SofiaPaiva-Cardoso, Maria da NevesNunes, MónicaCarreira, TeresaVale-Gonçalves, Hélia MarisaVeloso, OctáviaCoelho, CatarinaCabral, João AlexandreVieira-Pinto, MadalenaVieira, Maria Luísainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-09-23T15:30:20Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/142Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:03:54.775854Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
