本试验以编码线粒体功能性蛋白Chaperonin 60(CPN60)的核基因作为研究对象,对隐孢子虫分离株CPN60基因进行扩增测序,用Clustal X1.81对扩增序列与GenBank相关参考序列进行比对,然后用PAUP4.0程序中邻接法(Neighbor-joining,NJ)、最大简约法(Parsimony,MP)构建基因树,同时用TREEPUZZLE程序Version4.1构建最大似然树(Maximum likelihood,ML),以确定不同隐孢子虫虫株之间的进化关系,并以18S rRNA和HSP70基因构建的进化树作参照,评价CPN60是否更适合作为隐孢子虫基因分型和进化关系的分子标记。结果显示:基于CPN60构建的进化树将隐孢子虫分为两大类:C.baileyi和C.meleagridis处于一个分枝,C.hominis、C.suis、C.parvum牛基因型和C.parvum鼠基因型处于另一个分枝上。不同隐孢子虫之间的同源性介于96%~100%,能有效区分隐孢子虫不同基因型。因此,CPN60基因序列也可作为隐孢子虫分离株种系发育的遗传标记。 相似文献

Cryptosporidium parvum is commonly identified as infecting domestic livestock and humans. Prevalence of C. parvum in pigs has been reported, however, the duration and infection pattern of naturally acquired Cryptosporidium infections in pigs has not been reported. This study was undertaken to investigate the age of oocyst shedding and duration of natural Cryptosporidium parvum infections in pigs from weaning to market weight. Fecal samples were collected from weaned Yorkshire-Landrace piglets (n=33) twice per week until Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected. Upon oocyst detection, fecal samples were collected three times per week and pigs were monitored throughout the study for diarrhea and examined after concentration and immunofluroescent staining. Cryptosporidium isolates were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction to amplify the HSP70 gene which was subsequently sequence analyzed. All 33 pigs shed oocysts some time during the study. The mean age of initial oocyst detection was 45.2 days post-weaning with the mean duration of infection 28.7 days. Mean number of Cryptosporidium oocysts was low and declined to zero prior to study completion. Episodes of diarrhea were not associated with oocyst excretion. Genetic sequences were obtained for 10 of the pigs. All of the 10 isolates aligned as the Cryptosporidium parvum 'pig' genotype. This study demonstrates that the age and duration of oocyst shedding in pigs infected with C. parvum porcine genotype is different from other livestock species. 相似文献

Of 155 species of mammals reported to be infected with Cryptosporidium parvum or C. parvum-like organisms most animals are found in the Orders Artiodactyla, Primates, and Rodentia. Because Cryptosporidium from most of these animals have been identified by oocyst morphology alone with little or no host specificity and/or molecular data to support identification it is not known how many of the reported isolates are actually C. parvum or other species. Cryptosporidiosis is a cause of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans, resulting primarily in diarrhea, and resulting in the most severe infections in immune-compromised individuals. Of 15 named species of Cryptosporidium infectious for nonhuman vertebrate hosts C. baileyi, C. canis, C. felis, C. hominis, C. meleagridis, C. muris, and C. parvum have been reported to also infect humans. Humans are the primary hosts for C. hominis, and except for C. parvum, which is widespread amongst nonhuman hosts and is the most frequently reported zoonotic species, the remaining species have been reported primarily in immunocompromised humans. The oocyst stage can remain infective under cool, moist conditions for many months, especially where water temperatures in rivers, lakes, and ponds remain low but above freezing. Surveys of surface water, groundwater, estuaries, and seawater have dispelled the assumption that Cryptosporidium oocysts are present infrequently and in geographically isolated locations. Numerous reports of outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis related to drinking water in North America, the UK, and Japan, where detection methods are in place, indicate that water is a major vehicle for transmission of cryptosporidiosis. 相似文献

To study the diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in various hosts, we used the variability of the small-subunit rRNA gene and the Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein genes. Oocysts from humans, cattle, horses, dogs, field mice, chickens, reptiles, deer, goat, cat, antelope and from a sample of water reservoir were assayed. The zoonotic C. parvum bovine genotype sequence was found to be present in the most of isolates. This study shows a complex epidemiology pattern for C. parvum bovine genotype infections. The identification of cattle, horse, and deer isolates emphasizes a transmission route for C. parvum via these hosts, and identifies a potential source for human infection in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, C. andersoni from a cow, C. baileyi from a chicken, C. felis from a cat, C. meleagridis from a dog, and C. saurophilum and C. serpentis from reptiles were also identified in the isolates from the Czech Republic. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether Haemobartonella canis and Mycoplasma haemofelis (formerly known as H felis [large form]) can be differentiated by use of comparative analysis of gene sequences. SAMPLE POPULATION: Blood samples obtained from 3 dogs infected with H canis and 2 cats infected with M haemofelis. PROCEDURE: The partial 16S rDNA and ribonuclease P RNA (RNase P) genes were amplified, cloned, and sequenced in blood samples obtained from H canis-infected dogs and M haemofelis-infected cats. The DNA sequences were subjected to comparative analysis. RESULTS: The 16S rDNA sequences of H canis and M haemofelis were nearly identical (homology of 99.3 to 99.7%). In contrast, RNase P gene sequences had a lower degree of sequence homology between the 2 organisms (94.3 to 95.5%). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Haemobartonella canis and M haemofelis are not identical organisms. Molecular differentiation of H canis and M haemofelis is more clearly evident by use of comparative analysis of RNase P gene sequences than by comparative analysis of 16S rDNA gene sequences. 相似文献

To date Cryptosporidium muris has been identified by microscopy and genotyping in cats in two studies. We report morphological and genetic evidence of a mixed C. muris and C. felis infection in a cat and provide the first histological, immunohistochemical, in situ hybridisation and genetic confirmation of a C. muris infection in the stomach of a cat. The cat suffered persistent diarrhoea after the initial consultation, which remained unresolved, despite several medical interventions. Further studies are required to determine the range, prevalence and clinical impact of Cryptosporidium species infecting cats. 相似文献

Cystoisospora spp. from feces in dogs, cats, and raccoon dogs were isolated, sequenced at the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene locus and compared to other Cystoisospora spp. Cystoisospora oocysts from dogs and raccoon dogs were morphologically similar with those of C. ohioensis, and cat isolates were similar with those of C. felis. The sequences from dogs and raccoon dogs, and cats have a homology with C. ohioensis and C. felis, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the DNA sequences showed that the dog and raccoon dog isolates were nested in a clade with other Cystoisospora spp. including C. ohioensis, C. belli, and C. orlovi. The cat isolate formed a sister group with C. felis that was a separate clade from the dog and raccoon dog group. We report sequence variation in these Cystoisospora sequences and have identified raccoon dogs as another carnivore host for Cystoisospora spp. infecting dogs. 相似文献

To estimate the prevalence of enteric parasites and selected vector-borne agents of dogs and cats in San Isidro de El General, Costa Rica, fecal and serum samples were collected from animals voluntarily undergoing sterilization. Each fecal sample was examined for parasites by microscopic examination after fecal flotation and for Giardia and Cryptosporidium using an immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Giardia and Cryptosporidium IFA positive samples were genotyped after PCR amplification of specific DNA if possible. The seroprevalence rates for the vector-borne agents (Dirofilaria immitis, Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia canis, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum) were estimated based on results from a commercially available ELISA. Enteric parasites were detected in samples from 75% of the dogs; Ancylostoma caninum, Trichuris vulpis, Giardia, and Toxocara canis were detected. Of the cats, 67.5% harbored Giardia spp., Cryptosporidium spp., Ancylostoma tubaeforme, or Toxocara cati. Both Cryptosporidium spp. isolates that could be sequenced were Cryptosporidium parvum (one dog isolate and one cat isolate). Of the Giardia spp. isolates that were successfully sequenced, the 2 cat isolates were assemblage A and the 2 dog isolates were assemblage D. D. immitis antigen and E. canis antibodies were identified in 2.3% and 3.5% of the serum samples, respectively. The prevalence of enteric zoonotic parasites in San Isidro de El General in Costa Rica is high in companion animals and this information should be used to mitigate public health risks. 相似文献

Compared with other countries, surveys of these parasites have been rarely performed in companion animals of Japan in spite of their significance for public health. Here, we investigated pet dogs and cats in Japan for the first time, and genetically analyzed the isolates to evaluate the risk of zoonotic infections. Seventy-seven fecal samples were collected from privately owned dogs and 55 samples from owned cats in Osaka city, Japan. Cryptosporidium oocysts were identified in 3/77 dogs (3.9%) and 7/55 cats (12.7%), and Giardia infection in 2/77 dogs (2.6%) and 1/55 cats (1.8%). Amplification of the target regions for genotyping was successful, Cryptosporidium isolates in dogs and cats were identified as C. canis and C. felis, respectively, and those of Giardia in dogs and cats were G. intestinalis Assemblages D and F. The discharge period of the oocysts varied within 3-16 weeks and that of the cysts was 12 weeks. To date, zoonotic types of both parasites have been identified in other animals in Japan, and further large-scale studies are needed to determine the distribution of zoonotic genotypes in these animals, especially those closely associated with humans. 相似文献

Following a study on molecular epizootiology of Hepatozoon canis and piroplasmids (Babesia spp. and Theileria spp.) in southern Europe, newly obtained sequences of 18s rRNA gene were used for phylogenetic analysis. Partial sequences were analysed in isolates showing high degree of homology (>99%) with previous GenBank entries: H. canis, B. canis vogeli, B. equi (two isolates, Spain1 and Spain2), T. annulata and Theileria sp. The complete gene sequences were used for B. ovis and B. bovis, that showed lower homology (<95%) with rapport to previously reported species or isolates. A first set of phylogenetic trees constructed with partial 18s rRNA sequences showed that most European isolates clustered unambiguously with previously described species, so that minor sequence dissimilarities found are due probably to strain variations.The second set of phylogenetic trees was made using the complete 18s rRNA sequences of 44 species from GenBank and the newly sequenced B. ovis and B. bovis. The analysis revealed for the first time a division of piroplasmids in five clades: (1) B. microti group, with B. rodhaini, B. felis, B. leo, B. microti and T. annae (proposed name for the group, without taxonomic value: Archaeopiroplasmids), (2) Western USA Theilerid-like group (proposed name: Prototheilerids), (3) Theileria group, containing all Theileria species from Bovinae (proposed name: Theilerids), (4) A first group of Babesia species including B. canis and B. gibsoni from canids together with B. divergens and B. odocoilei (proposed name: Babesids), (5) A second group composed mainly by Babesia species from ungulates: B. caballi, B. bigemina, B. ovis, B. bovis and Babesia sp. from cow (proposed name: Ungulibabesids). The bootstrap support obtained with several analytical procedures for this new dicotomy of Babesiidae was always very high. Taking into account the present phylogenetic analysis and additional paleogeographic, parasitological and zoological evidences, two hypothesis on the origin and evolution of piroplasmids groups are presented. 相似文献

目前，隐孢子虫有效种有20个。隐孢子虫的分子流行病学研究表明，隐孢子虫具有宿主特异性。目前，感染人的隐孢子虫种和基因型有C．horninis、C.parvum、C．meleagridis、C.felis、C.canis、C.nuris、C．suis genotype和C．cervine genotype等。水源性隐孢子虫暴发，具有重要的公共卫生意义。分子鉴定技术已广泛应用于检测水中隐孢子虫，水中检测到的隐孢子虫有9个。通过分析其分子组成特性表明，成年牛可能是水污染的主要根源，除了居民用水和农业污染外，鹿、麝鼠、田鼠、鸟和其它野生动物可能也与水污染有关。隐孢子虫分子基因型鉴定工具可能为水源保护性研究提供一个更有力的溯源追踪工具。 相似文献

A nested multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach was adopted for the simultaneous detection of 4 human infective genotypes of the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium. Specific PCR primers were designed for the heat shock protein 70 gene of 2 genotypes of Cryptosporidium parvum (human and bovine types), Cryptosporidium canis, and Cryptosporidium felis. These 4 genotypes have all been found in human fecal samples. The primers amplified DNA fragments of specific sizes, each representing a unique genotype. The limit of detection of the method was found to vary between 10 and 100 oocysts per 1 ml fecal material. There appeared to be no cross-reactivity with other organisms commonly present in feces and soil, and the approach has a high specificity. The rapid identification of various human infective Cryptosporidium isolates is a part of the authors' long-term aim of determining the routes of infection with oocysts and thereby increase their epidemiological understanding of Cryptosporidium infection in humans and animals. 相似文献

Oral inoculation of 13 ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) with 1 x 10(6) Cryptosporidium baileyi oocysts produced patent infections but no clinical signs of disease. Intratracheal inoculation of 13 ducks with 1 x 10(6) C. baileyi oocysts produced only mild clinical signs of respiratory disease, no deaths, and gross lesions of airsacculitis in only three ducks. The distribution of developmental stages of C. baileyi in ducks was similar to that observed in experimentally infected chickens and turkeys. Results of this study indicate that ducks are more resistant to experimentally induced respiratory cryptosporidiosis caused by C. baileyi than are chickens and turkeys. 相似文献

In wild and domestic birds, cryptosporidiosis is often associated with infections by Cryptosporidium galli, Cryptosporidium baileyi and Cryptosporidium meleagridis. In addition to these species, a number of avian Cryptosporidium species yet to be fully characterized are commonly found among exotic and wild avian isolates. The present study aimed to detect and identify samples of Cryptosporidium spp. from free-living wild birds, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the variability of this parasite in the free-living population of Brazil. Stool samples were collected from 242 birds, with the following proportions of individuals: 50 Emberizidae (20.7%), 112 Psittacidae (46.3%), 44 Cardinalidae (18.2%), 12 Turdidae (5.0%), eight Ramphastidae (3.3%), seven Icteridae (2.9%), three Estrilididae (1.2%), two Contigidae (0.8%), two Thraupidae (0.8%) and two Fringilidae (0.8%). Among the 242 fecal samples from wild birds, 16 (6.6%) were positive for the presence of oocysts of Cryptosporidium. Molecular characterization of the 16 samples of Cryptosporidium, were performed with phylogenetic reconstructions employing 292 positions of 18S rDNA. None of the samples of birds was characterized as C. meleagridis. C. galli was identified in one rufous-bellied thrush (Turdus rufiventris), five green-winged saltators (Saltator similis), one slate-coloured seedeater (Sporophila schistacea), one goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) and three saffron finches (Sicalis flaveola). One goldfinch isolate, one buffy-fronted seedeater (Sporophila frontalis), one red-cowled cardinal (Paroaria dominicana) and one other saffron finch (S. flaveola) were identified as C. baileyi. Avian genotype II was found in an isolate from a white-eyed parakeet (Aratinga leucophthalma). Clinical symptoms of cryptosporidiosis in birds have already been described and the number of wild birds which were shedding parasites was high. Therefore, further epidemiological research and disease surveillance of birds in the wild is warranted. 相似文献

Identification of genotypes of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from a patient and a dog in Japan 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) is recognized as a significant pathogen in humans and animals, primarily as a cause of diarrheal illness. Recent genetic and biological studies indicate that C. parvum is not a single species but composed of genetically distinct multiple genotypes. Thus, it is valuable to distinguish between genotypes in the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium infection in humans and animals. Although C. parvum has been detected in humans and animals in Japan, the genotype of isolates remains unclear because identification has been performed only by conventional microscopy. We report herein the genotypes of C. parvum isolates distinguished by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic method. C. parvum isolates, originally obtained from a patient and a pet dog, were found to have cattle and dog genotypes, respectively. 相似文献

Four of six cockatiels died within a week after being purchased from a commercial breeder. A fifth bird was euthanatized and necropsied during this time, and tissues were collected for microscopic examination. The small intestine had moderate numbers of Cryptosporidium sp. parasites present. A few large, basophilic intranuclear inclusions were present in renal ductular epithelium. Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were found in the feces of the surviving bird. Thirty oocysts were 7.2 by 5.5 microns. The shape index was 1.31. Morphological examinations of the fecal oocysts indicated that the Cryptosporidium species infecting the cockatiels was similar to C. baileyi, a parasite that is not usually associated with small-intestinal infections. 相似文献
