Abstract
Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) have been recognized as natural reservoirs for multiple pathogens and a source of infection for domestic animals, wildlife and humans. To date, no reports are available on the Bartonella rochalimae and Hepatozoon canis infection in red foxes from China. In 2018–2022, a total of 16 red foxes were sampled in two counties and a city in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in northwest China. Subsequently analyzed by DNA extraction amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the present study, based on nucleotide sequence and phylogenetic tree analyses, B. rochalimae and H. canis were molecularly identified in red foxes. Our findings provide the first molecular evidence of B. rochalimae and H. canis in red foxes from China.
红狐(Vulpes vulpes)被认为是多种病原体的天然贮藏库,也是家畜、野生动物和人类的传染源。迄今为止,还没有关于中国赤狐感染罗氏巴顿氏菌和犬肝吸虫的报道。2018-2022年,在中国西北部新疆维吾尔自治区的两县一市共采样16只赤狐。随后通过DNA提取聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增分析。本研究基于核苷酸序列和系统发生树分析,在赤狐中分子鉴定了B. rochalimae和H. canis。我们的研究结果首次提供了中国赤狐中 B. rochalimae 和 H. canis 的分子证据。
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife (IJP-PAW) publishes the results of original research on parasites of all wildlife, invertebrate and vertebrate. This includes free-ranging, wild populations, as well as captive wildlife, semi-domesticated species (e.g. reindeer) and farmed populations of recently domesticated or wild-captured species (e.g. cultured fishes). Articles on all aspects of wildlife parasitology are welcomed including taxonomy, biodiversity and distribution, ecology and epidemiology, population biology and host-parasite relationships. The impact of parasites on the health and conservation of wildlife is seen as an important area covered by the journal especially the potential role of environmental factors, for example climate. Also important to the journal is ''one health'' and the nature of interactions between wildlife, people and domestic animals, including disease emergence and zoonoses.
