Abstract

Blastocystis is a common intestinal protist in humans and animals. Currently, Blastocystis infection in bar-headed geese is unknown. To understand the prevalence and distribution of Blastocystis subtypes in bar–headed geese, fecal samples were collected from 358 bar–headed geese in three regions. The total infection rate of Blastocystis in bar–headed in China was 5.9% (21/358), with 5.0% (6/120) in Aba (Ngawa) Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefect, Sichuan province, 11.8% (14/119) in Maqu county, Gansu province, and 0.8% (1/119) in Caohai, Wei ning county, Guizhou province. The differences in prevalence rates by region were statistically significant. Sequences analyses showed that one known subtype (ST7, n = 16) and one potentially novel ST (n = 5) in bar–headed geese were detected in this study. This is the first report on the prevalence and subtype distribution of Blastocystis in bar–headed geese, which will improve our understanding of the epidemiology and public health implications of Blastocystis infection in wild migratory birds.

杠头雁（Anser indicus）是否感染了布氏囊虫

Blastocystis 是人类和动物常见的肠道原生动物。目前，巴头雁对布氏囊虫的感染情况尚不清楚。为了了解囊尾蚴亚型在棒头雁中的流行和分布情况，我们在三个地区收集了 358 只棒头雁的粪便样本。中国棒头雁的总感染率为5.9%（21/358），其中四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州为5.0%（6/120），甘肃省玛曲县为11.8%（14/119），贵州省威宁县草海为0.8%（1/119）。不同地区的流行率差异具有统计学意义。序列分析表明，本研究在棒头雁中发现了一个已知亚型（ST7，n = 16）和一个潜在的新型ST（n = 5）。这是第一份关于驳头雁中布氏囊尾蚴流行率和亚型分布的报告，它将提高我们对野生候鸟中布氏囊尾蚴感染的流行病学和公共卫生影响的认识。

期刊介绍： Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research. The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally. High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health. Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
