We report the exploration of some unique metabolic pathways in Perkinsus olseni a marine protist parasite, responsible to significant mortalities in mollusks, especially in bivalves all around the world. In Algarve, south of Portugal carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus mortalities can reach up to 70%, causing social and economic losses. The objective of studying those unique pathways, is finding new therapeutic strategies capable of controlling/eliminating P. olseni proliferation in clams. In that sense metabolic pathways, were explored, and drugs affecting these cycles were tested for activity. The first step involved the identification of the genes behind those pathways, the reconstitution of the main steps, and molecular characterization of those genes and later on, the identification of possible targets within the genes studied. Metabolic cycles were screened due to the fact of not being present in host or differ in a critical way, such as the following pathways: shikimate, MEP-‐ isoprenoids, Leloir cycle for chitin production, purine biosynthesis (unique among protists), the de novo synthesis of folates (absent in metazoa) and some unique genes like, the alternative oxidase (a branch of respiratory chain) and the hypoxia sensor HPH. All those pathways were covered and possible chemical inhibition using therapeutic drugs was tested with positive results. The relation between the common host Ruditapes decussatus and P. olseni was also explored in a dimension not possible some years ago. With the accessibility to second generation sequencers and microarray analysis platforms, genes involved in host defense or parasite virulence and resistance to the host were deciphered, allowing aiming to new targets (mechanisms and pathways), offering new possibilities for the control of Perkinsus in close environments. The thousands of genes, generated by this work, sequenced and analyzed from this commercial valuable clam and for Perkinsus olseni will be an important and value tool for the scientific community, allowing a better understanding of host-‐parasite interactions, promoting the usage of P. olseni as an emerging model for alveolata parasites.

A transmissão de agentes patogénicos (bactérias, vírus e parasitas) através do consumo de géneros alimentícios pode desencadear um problema gravíssimo de saúde pública. Esta preocupação crescente levou o Homem a criar regras e aplicar medidas rigorosas que impedissem a contaminação dos alimentos e a propagação de doenças infecto-contagiosas que provocam muitos prejuízos à sociedade atual. De acordo com a Retificação ao Regulamento (CE) n.º 852/2004 do Parlamento Europeu e do Conselho de 29 de abril, verificou-se a necessidade de implementar um programa de pré-requisitos (PPR) (1.ª Fase) baseado na metodologia do Sistema HACCP no Mercado Municipal de Tavira, com o intuito de valorizar estes locais de comércio a retalho de diversos grupos de géneros alimentícios, onde existem inúmeros riscos de contaminação. Foi elaborada uma checklist e realizada uma avaliação minuciosa das condições de construção do edifício, a disposição da estrutura física, o modo de funcionamento dos equipamentos e o fluxo das operações integradas no respetivo mercado municipal, desde a zona de receção da mercadoria até aos locais de exposição e venda dos alimentos aos consumidores. A cascata de operações para a implementação do Sistema HACCP divide-se em três fases, contudo, para esta dissertação, apenas a primeira fase (programa de pré-requisitos - PPR) foi implementada no respetivo mercado municipal, a saber: - PPR n.º 1: Instalações e equipamentos; - PPR n.º 2: Plano de higienização; - PPR n.º 3: Controlo de pragas; - PPR n.º 4: Abastecimento de água; - PPR n.º 5: Recolha de resíduos; - PPR n.º 6: Material em contacto com géneros alimentícios; - PPR n.º 7: Higiene pessoal; - PPR n.º 8: Formação do pessoal. A implementação do PPR tem sido um processo moroso e ainda se encontra na fase de implementação. Periodicamente, os procedimentos, registos e documentos são verificados por forma evitar a repetição dos problemas.

We propose here the hypothesis that all of United Kingdom (UK) is likely to be affected by Ganoderma sp. spores, an important plant pathogen. We suggest that the main sources of this pathogen, which acts as a bioaerosol, are the widely scattered woodlands in the country, although remote sources must not be neglected. The hypothesis is based on related studies on bioaerosols and supported by new observations from a non-forest site and model calculations to support our hypothesis. Hourly concentrations of Ganoderma sp. spores were measured from 2006 to 2010 using a 7-day volumetric spore trap at the city of Worcester. The concentrations peak during the night and early in the morning. This suggests that the main spore sources are located a few hours away with respect to air masses transport and reach urban areas thanks to air masses transport. The back-trajectory analysis was applied to determine the location of Ganoderma sp. spore sources. The analysis of back-trajectories demonstrated that 78% of the air masses reached Worcester from a 180° arc direction from the East to West. Three episodes were selected for detailed investigation and they revealed that during the episodes air masses always passed main UK woodlands before the arrival in Worcester, independently of their origin, but the long distance transport under certain conditions might be possible. Our studies suggest that the sources of UK Ganoderma sp. spores are mainly to be found in UK. Hence our studies suggest that research and mitigation strategies in UK should give their main attention to national sources, without neglecting the contribution from long distance transport.

We have analysed the pollen seasons in Worcester for the period 2005–12 for alder (Alnus), birch (Betula) and oak (Quercus) by using back trajectory calculations and produced the first detailed source maps for these three pollen types. The study shows considerable variations in the source–receptor relationship of three of the most important tree pollen types in England with respect to allergy. Long Distance Transport is observed for Quercus and Betula but not for Alnus. The new source maps show a number of high emitting areas for Betula and Quercus, mainly near London, in the Midlands and in Wales. The production of source maps is sensitive to the used type of land cover data and how well they incorporate small woodlands. Two satellite products, Corine Land Cover and Globcover, are compared with the detailed national land cover product Land Cover Map 2007. The broad scale satellite products show either up to 50% less woody coverage or a direct misplacement of woodlands. The Lagrangian back trajectory model, the pollen count observations and the source maps altogether suggest that small woodlands (below 25 ha) play a major role in the overall pollen load in urban areas in England.
