We detected and cultivated isolates of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) theileri from cattle and water buffaloes in S?o Paulo state, southeastern Brazil, which were characterized by comparing morphological, growth and molecular features. Although isolates from cattle and water buffalo were morphologically indistinguishable, they differed in their growth characteristics. A dendrogram based on randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns indicated close-genetic relationships among all isolates from both species, which were all tightly clustered together and distant from Megatrypanum species from wild mammals. In addition, isolates within the T. theileri-cluster were clearly segregated into two host-associated groups. The sequence of a synapomorphic RAPD-derived DNA fragment (Tth625), which was shared by all T. theileri trypanosomes from cattle and buffalo but not detected in any of 13 other trypanosome species, was used as target for a conventional T. theileri-specific PCR assay. We also defined RAPD fragments (Tthc606 and Tthb606) that distinguished cattle from buffalo isolates. Thus, distinct growth features and genetic variability distinguished between isolates from cattle and water buffaloes of the same geographic origin, suggesting an association of these isolates with their host species. The trypanosomes from water buffalo reported here are the first T. theileri-like isolates from the Asiatic buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) to be continuously cultured and compared with cattle isolates using biological and molecular methods.  相似文献

Trypanosoma theileri was isolated by the blood culture method from a leukotic cow in extremis. The parasite could be maintained along with leukocytes with weekly changes of culture medium up to 6 months. In connection with a subsequent transmission experiment a cow, not inoculated with trypanosomes but kept in the same shelter as the inoculated one, commenced to be positive for T. theileri in its blood cultures. This cow had a long history of lymphocytosis but showed no signs of leukosis when slaughtered. The significance of the findings is discussed from the point of view of false positive diagnosis of bovine leukosis and the possible role of trypanosome in the etiology of leukosis.Keyword: Trypanosoma, Trypanosoma theileri, lymphocytosis, leukosis  相似文献

The incidence of infection in adult dairy cattle in New York State with Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) theileri (Laveran 1902) was determined by culturing buffy coats of peripheral blood samples in tissue culture growth media. Three sample groups of cattle were studied and revealed an overall rate of trypanosome infection of 44.4% (67 of 151) as determined by a single culture. Fifty-seven cows, representing four herds from three different geographic locations in the Southern-tier region of the state, comprised the first group. The infection rates of these herds ranged from 56.5 to 100%. The second group consisted of 81 cows randomly selected from animals admitted to the Large Animal Clinic of the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine. Trypanosoma theileri was cultured from 25.9% (21 of 81) of these animals. Repeated blood cultures from a third group of thirteen yearling heifers during the spring and summer revealed an increase in the infection rate from 0% in May, to 66.7% (8 of 12) in September, with 76.9% (10 of 13) positive at least once during this period. These findings are compared with the reported incidence of bovine T. theileri infections in other areas of the United States and in other countries.  相似文献

The use of a single restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-PCR assay which is able to characterise all important bovine trypanosome species was evaluated for the detection of mixed infections with Trypanosoma brucei brucei, Trypanosoma theileri, Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax. Results showed that mixed infections are detectable at a minimum ratio of 2%/98% of standardised DNA solutions with a concentration of 10 ng ml(-1). All mixed infections gave clear profiles that could be easily differentiated except with T. theileri and T. congolense where the T. theileri band was concealed by the T. congolense profile.  相似文献

Trypanosome infection rate in cattle at Nguruman was investigated in a study conducted in 1984-1986. Shifting pastoralism significantly reduced trypanosome infections in cattle. The cattle were more heavily infected with Trypanosoma congolense (16.5%) than Trypanosoma vivax (4.95%) and Trypanosoma brucei (0.19%). Trypanosoma theileri was observed only once among the cattle examined. Mixed trypanosome infections in cattle were observed to be 2.75% and 0.014% for T. congolense/T. vivax and T. congolense/T. brucei, respectively. The duration of infection in the cattle was 55 days for T. congolense and 79 days for T. vivax. High infections in cattle were observed 2 months after the rains, which were concomitant with high tsetse densities.  相似文献

The possible influence of natural trypanosome infection on lymphocytosis and DNA synthesizing lymphocyte counts in peripheral blood was determined on 220 cows from two leukosis herds and 25 cows from leukosis free control herd. Trypanosome incidences were determined during summers of 1969 and 1970 by inoculating whole blood onto blood agar slants and incubating at room temperature. Incidence of trypanosomiasis in cattle was found to be variable, possibly due to factors affecting the primary isolation of Trypanosoma theileri. A small trypanosome resembling Trypanosoma uniforme was found occasionally as a concomitant infection with T. theileri. Trypanosomiasis occurred with equal frequency in the animals of the leukosis and the control herds. No correlations were noted between trypanosomiasis, lymphocytosis and DNA synthesizing lymphocytes in peripheral circulation.  相似文献

Trypanosomes in Cattle in Southern Ontario   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
Trypanosomes were found in the blood of 155 out of 274 Holstein cows of various ages from southern Ontario. The incidence varied from about 8% in one herd to about 85% in another herd. Two species of trypanosomes were found in cattle in the Guelph area. One was Trypanosoma theileri. The other was a much smaller trypanosome which morphologically resembles T. uniforme of the Salivaria. This is the first report of such a trypanosome in cattle in North America. Epimastigotes from blood agar slants of both trypanosomes, when inoculated into chick embryos, produced blood forms morphologically identical to those found in the blood of the cows. T. theileri survived at least two weeks in blood kept at 4-5° C.  相似文献

试验旨在对基于基因分型测序(genotyping by sequencing,GBS)技术筛选出的马鹿特异性SNPs位点的准确性进行验证,为梅花鹿、马鹿及其杂交后代的鉴别提供可靠的分子遗传标记。随机选取30个马鹿特异性SNPs位点,根据SNPs位点前后各200 bp的序列,利用Primer Premier 6.0软件设计特异性引物,以随机选取的验证样本DNA作为模板进行PCR扩增,并进行Sanger测序,对测序结果利用BioEdit软件进行峰图的观察,利用Mega 6.0软件对测序得到的序列进行比对分析并观察每个特异性SNP位点在不同验证群体中的基因型,对每一个马鹿特异性位点的峰图和比对信息进行统计分析。结果表明,30个马鹿特异性位点中有28个和前期研究结果一致,其中1个SNP位点(SNP3)中G等位基因在梅花鹿中的基因频率为0.05,而G等位基因在马鹿中的基因频率为1,G等位基因在马鹿个体中的基因频率比在梅花鹿个体中高,同时,利用SPSS 22.0进行统计分析发现,该位点在马鹿和梅花鹿中基因型分布表现出显著性差异(P<0.05);另外1个SNP位点(SNP5)中T等位基因在梅花鹿的基因频率为0.15,而在马鹿中的基因频率为1,且这个SNP位点在梅花鹿和马鹿中基因型分布差异显著(P<0.05),所以这2个位点仍然可以作为马鹿的特异性SNPs位点。研究结果说明了GBS测序筛选出的马鹿特异性SNPs可以作为鉴定的分子标记,对梅花鹿、马鹿及其杂交后代的鉴别奠定了理论基础。  相似文献

Summary A micromodification of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated for its potential application in the immunodiagnosis of bovine trypanosomiasis. Serum samples from infected and non-infected Zebu cattle and samples from Friesian cattle with experimental infections were examined for the presence of trypanosomal antibodies. There were significant differences between the microELISA values obtained with samples from infected and non-infected cattle. During the course of infection microELISA values were found to fluctuate and the antibody response varied in individual animals. The test did not distinguish between infections withTrypanosoma brucei, T. vivax andT. congolense. There were no cross-reactions between trypanosome antigens and serum samples from cattle infected withT. theileri, Theileria parva, Th. mutans, Th. annulata, Babesia divergens andAnaplasma marginale.  相似文献

桃红岭国家级自然保护区梅花鹿种群现状   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
梅花鹿南方亚种被IUCN濒危物种红皮书列为濒危级,仅分布于安徽南部、江西东北部和浙江西北部,分布区域日益萎缩,分布区之间隔离程度较大。江西桃红岭是该亚种分布区之一,为保护该亚种,1981年成立桃红岭自然保护区,2001年升级为国家级自然保护区。为了解桃红岭野生梅花鹿现生种群数量,评估保护区过去30 a的保护成效,我们于2011年秋季采用直接计数的广义样线法开展梅花鹿种群调查。调查结果表明,保护区内梅花鹿数量为365只,密度为2.92只/km~2,近年来梅花鹿种群增长较慢。经过30 a的保护,该保护区自然植被正在演替恢复。然而,当地的顶级植物群落可能并不是梅花鹿的适宜生境。因此,近年来,梅花鹿向保护区外扩散趋势明显,由此带来的各种管理问题值得关注。  相似文献

A crossbred calf (3 months old) obtained from a farm where regular control of ticks was practised and found to be free of blood parasites was inoculated with 20 ml pooled blood collected from four field cattle which had very low Trypanosoma theileri parasitaemias (one parasite per 70 microl blood as determined by the haematocrit centrifugation technique). Trypanosoma theileri was present in the blood 6 days after injection and a peak parasitaemia of 42 parasites per 70 microl blood was recorded by day 12. Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum nymphs were applied on the ears of the calf on day 8 and they dropped engorged by days 13 and 14. The resulting adult ticks were examined for the presence of T. theileri by severing a leg and making a smear of the clear haemolymph which exuded from the wound. The smear was fixed in methanol and stained with Giemsa stain. The infection rate with T. theileri in the ticks was 43.3% (26 out of 60). The intensity of infection was very high and various developmental stages of the flagellates were observed (epimastigotes, sphaeromastigotes, trypomastigotes and other intermediate stages). The haemolymph from 12 ticks was also collected in tissue culture medium and the trypanosomes survived for 25 weeks before eventually dying. The results demonstrated unequivocally the high vectorial capacity of the tick H. a. anatolicum for T. theileri.  相似文献

In this study, we describe the first survey in Thailand of Trypanosoma theileri, a widespread and prevalent parasite of cattle that is transmitted by tabanid flies. Investigation of 210 bovine blood samples of Thai cattle from six farms by hematocrit centrifuge technique (HCT) revealed 14 samples with trypanosomes morphologically compatible to T. theileri. Additional animals were positive for T. theileri by PCR based on the Cathepsin L-like sequence (TthCATL-PCR) despite negative by HCT, indicating cryptic infections. Results revealed a prevalence of 26 ± 15% (95% CI) of T. theileri infection. Additionally, 12 samples positive for T. theileri were detected in cattle from other 11 farms. From a total of 30 blood samples positive by HCT and/or PCR from 17 farms, seven were characterized to evaluate the genetic polymorphism of T. theileri through sequence analysis of PCR-amplified CATL DNA sequences. All CATL sequences of T. theileri from Thai cattle clustered with sequences of the previously described phylogenetic lineages TthI and TthII, supporting only two major lineages of T. theileri in cattle around the world. However, 11 of the 29 CATL sequences analyzed showed to be different, disclosing an unexpectedly large polymorphic genetic repertoire, with multiple genotypes of T. theileri not previously described in other countries circulating in Thai cattle.  相似文献

Seven sika deer (Cervus nippon) in a herd of 30 deer in a park died. Upon examination of three dead deer, Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated from the organs and intestinal contents. Histopathological examination revealed catarrhal enteritis and focal necroses in the liver. Immunohistochemically, Salmonella antigen of O4 was detected in the enteric lesions. The case was diagnosed as S. Typhimurium infection in the sika deer. Because of the importance of Salmonella in public health, fecal and soil samples were continuously collected from the paddock. However, no Salmonella was isolated from any samples collected after medication of the deer and thorough disinfection of the immediate environment.  相似文献

The prevention and control of invasive of alien species is an important work for nature reserves. This study analyzes the development trend of the alien species sika deer in Liancheng National Nature Reserve. From October 2019 to June 2020, 3523 valid photos and videos of terrestrial animals were acquired from 130 camera traps, and sika deer were recorded in 21 photos from 13 traps. The survival of the sika deer population was investigated by means of morphological identification, population structure analysis, species relative abundance indices, and species spatial association analysis. A total of 13 sika deer individuals were identified by camera trapping, including two kids and three subadults representing the reproductive capacity of the population. Spatially, sika deer is not associated with any local species and was outside the spatial association network of terrestrial animals in Liancheng National Nature Reserve, indicating that the sika deer population has not been integrated into the local community and has failed to perform its ecological function. It is worth noting that the reserve provides habitat suitable for sika deer and that the population has adequate reproductive capacity. Due to the lack of large apex predators in the reserve, the population size of ungulates such as sika deer, red deer, and Siberian roe deer may expand and lead to population outbreaks and the associated problems for the ecosystem. To restore large- and medium-sized carnivores and avoid the population outbreak of the species, the present challenges require immediate attention in Liancheng National Nature Reserve.  相似文献
