This retrospective study aimed to characterise the occurrence of WHO critical- and high-priority yeasts in veterinary clinical submissions in Portugal within an explicit One Health framework. All yeast-positive submissions received by a Portuguese veterinary diagnostic laboratory between 2019 and 2026 were reviewed. Isolates were identified phenotypically, by an automated identification system and by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Data on host species, sample type and year of submission were analysed using standard descriptive and inferential statistics. Among 2033 mycological submissions, 219 were yeast-positive. Out of these, 82 isolates (37.4%) corresponded to WHO critical- or high-priority taxa, most frequently Candida albicans, followed by Nakaseomyces glabratus, Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans, the Candida parapsilosis complex and Candida tropicalis. The remaining 137 isolates (62.6%) corresponded to non-WHO taxa, among which the most frequent were Papiliotrema laurentii and Debaryomyces hansenii (n = 21 each; 15.3%), followed by the Stephanoascus ciferrii complex (n = 15; 11.0%), Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Candida sake (n = 12 each; 8.8%), and Wickerhamomyces anomalus (n = 9; 6.6%). WHO-prioritised taxa were recovered predominantly from ornamental birds, as well as from dogs, cats and marine mammals. These findings demonstrate that FPPL-listed yeasts are regularly detected among yeast-positive veterinary diagnostic submissions and highlight ornamental birds as prominent hosts within this dataset.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens15070660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,25]],"date-time":"2026-06-25T05:48:16Z","timestamp":1782366496000},"page":"660","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["WHO Critical- and High-Priority Fungal Pathogens Beyond Human Medicine: Expanding One Health Surveillance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9339-9932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CEDIVET Veterinary Laboratories, Lionesa Business Hub, R.
