Amblyomma cf. parvum (Ixodida: Ixodidae) is an ectoparasite of domestic animals and wildlife on the American continent. There is little information on the efficacy of acaricides for the control of this tick species in domestic animals. Here, we determined the toxicological response of A. cf. parvum to amitraz, coumaphos, and cypermethrin. Engorged females of A. cf. parvum were collected (in two periods, eight months apart) from dogs in Yucatan, Mexico. The larval immersion test was used on the progeny of adult female ticks to test for amitraz susceptibility, and the larval package test was used to test for coumaphos and cypermethrin susceptibility. Dose–mortality regressions, lethal concentrations (LC), 95 % confidence intervals (CI95 %), and slopes were estimated by probit analysis. The lethal concentrations to kill 50 % of the tick population for amitraz, coumaphos, and cypermethrin in the first period were 1 ppm (CI95 %: 1–3 ppm), 10 ppm (CI95 %: 9–11 ppm), and 10 ppm (CI95 %: 9–10 ppm), respectively; meanwhile in the second period were 2 ppm (CI95 %: 1–3 ppm), 8 ppm (CI95 %: 6–10 ppm), and 9 ppm (CI95 %: 8–10 ppm), respectively. In conclusion, amitraz, coumaphos, and cypermethrin demonstrated high larvicidal efficacy in in vitro bioassays against A. cf. parvum populations infesting dogs.
Amblyomma cf. parvum(Ixodida: Ixodidae)是美洲大陆家畜和野生动物的一种体外寄生虫。有关杀螨剂对家畜中这种蜱类的控制效果的信息很少。在这里,我们测定了蜱虫对双甲脒、杀扑磷和氯氰菊酯的毒理学反应。我们从墨西哥尤卡坦州的狗身上收集到了噬菌体雌蜱(分两次收集,每次间隔 8 个月)。对成年雌蜱的后代进行了幼虫浸泡试验,以检测对双甲脒的敏感性;对幼虫包装试验进行了检测,以检测对库拉磷和氯氰菊酯的敏感性。剂量-死亡率回归、致死浓度 (LC)、95 % 置信区间 (CI95 %) 和斜率是通过 probit 分析估算的。在第一阶段,双甲脒、高效氯氟氰菊酯和氯氰菊酯杀死50%蜱群的致死浓度分别为1 ppm(CI95 %:1-3 ppm)、10 ppm(CI95 %:9-11 ppm)和10 ppm(CI95 %:9-10 ppm);而在第二阶段,它们的致死浓度分别为2 ppm(CI95 %:1-3 ppm)、8 ppm(CI95 %:6-10 ppm)和9 ppm(CI95 %:8-10 ppm)。总之,在体外生物测定中,双甲脒、高效氯氟氰菊酯和氯氰菊酯对侵扰狗的副猪弧菌种群具有很高的杀幼虫剂效力。

Surface hydrophobicity of organisms provides biological self-protection. The hydrophobicity of pest surface, acting as a main obstacle for the pest control, can lead to low utilization and high loss of pesticides. Dermanyssus gallinae is a notorious pest in egg-laying hens, whose control primarily depends on acaricide spraying, while its surface hydrophobicity and potential influence on pesticide effectiveness are not clear. In the present study, the contact angle measurements revealed that the surface of D. gallinae was hydrophobic. Analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the surface microstructures of D. gallinae consist of cuticular folds, with a lipid-rich outermost layer of the cuticle. Based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography (GC), it was found that the major compositions of cuticular lipids were fatty acids and n-alkanes. Modifying the chemical compositions and microstructures of the D. gallinae surface resulted in a reduction in surface hydrophobicity and an increase in the permeation of Rhodamine B through the cuticle. This observation suggested that the chemical compositions and microstructures were pivotal in determining surface hydrophobicity, hindering compound penetration into the cuticle. Finally, it was found improving the wettability of pesticide solution by adding surfactants could overcome the surface hydrophobicity and enhance the efficacy of pesticide against the mites. This study sheds light on the surface hydrophobicity mechanism of D. gallinae and provides a novel strategy to improve the efficacy of acaricides against the mites.
生物表面的疏水性可提供生物自我保护。害虫表面的疏水性是害虫防治的主要障碍,会导致杀虫剂的低利用率和高损失。Dermanyssus gallinae 是一种臭名昭著的蛋鸡害虫,其防治主要依靠喷洒杀螨剂,而其表面疏水性及其对杀虫剂效果的潜在影响尚不清楚。在本研究中,接触角测量显示五倍子表面疏水。利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)进行的分析表明,五倍子的表面微结构由角质层褶皱组成,角质层最外层富含脂质。根据气相色谱-质谱法(GC-MS)和气相色谱法(GC),发现角质层脂质的主要成分是脂肪酸和正构烷烃。改变五倍子表面的化学成分和微结构可降低表面疏水性,增加罗丹明 B 在角质层中的渗透。这一观察结果表明,化学成分和微观结构在决定表面疏水性方面起着关键作用,阻碍了化合物向角质层的渗透。最后,研究发现通过添加表面活性剂来改善杀虫剂溶液的润湿性,可以克服表面疏水性,提高杀虫剂对螨虫的药效。这项研究揭示了五倍子螨的表面疏水性机理,为提高杀螨剂的药效提供了一种新策略。

Theileria annulata (T. annulata) is intra-erythrocytic protozoan parasite which is more prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical countries. It has a significant economic impact on the productivity of the dairy industry, and buparvaquone is used to treat infected animals in the prevalent regions of the world. Systematically, buparvaquone targets the cyto-b gene to break the electron transport chain (ETC) and Theileria annulata peptidyl-prolyl isomerase 1 (TaPIN1) gene to destabilize transcription factor JUN (c-JUN) to inhibit proliferation of infected cells, which ultimately leads to the death of T. annulata. The reported studies on drug resistance is due to inappropriate drug application, evolutionary characteristics of the cytochrome b (cyto-b) gene and oncogenic signaling pathways gene (TaPIN1) make the parasite resistant against buparvaquone. Hence, this systematic review was designed to find out non-synonymous mutation in genes (cyto-b and TaPIN1) responsible for drug resistance reported from Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, Iran, Pakistan, China and Germany with reference to the T. annulata Ankara strain of cyto-b (accession no. XM_949625.1) and TaPIN1 (accession no. TA18945) wild type genes. Non-synonymous point mutations were found in cyto-b (Q01 at 130–148 and Q02 at 253–262 regions) and TaPIN1 (A53P and A53T) genes. These point mutations are responsible for developing buparvaquone resistance against T. annulata infection. These genes can be used as biomarkers for the identification of drug resistance in any endemic area. To avoid the complication of drug resistance, development of genetically resistant cattle breeds, potent vaccines and anti-theilerial drugs (Trifloxystrobin and anti-cancerous) are currently required to control proliferating economically important T. annulata parasites.
环状丝虫(T. annulata)是一种红细胞内原生动物寄生虫,在热带和亚热带国家较为流行。这种寄生虫对奶牛业的生产率有着重大的经济影响,布帕伐醌(buparvaquone)被用于治疗全球流行地区受感染的动物。布帕伐醌系统性地以 cyto-b 基因为靶点,破坏电子传递链(ETC)和环状毛癣菌肽基脯氨酰异构酶 1(TaPIN1)基因,从而破坏转录因子 JUN(c-JUN)的稳定性,抑制感染细胞的增殖,最终导致环状毛癣菌死亡。有关耐药性的研究报告指出,由于用药不当,细胞色素 b(cyto-b)基因和致癌信号通路基因(TaPIN1)的进化特性使寄生虫对布帕伐醌产生了耐药性。因此,本系统综述旨在找出突尼斯、土耳其、埃及、苏丹、伊朗、巴基斯坦、中国和德国等国报道的导致耐药性的基因(cyto-b 和 TaPIN1)的非同义突变,并参考了安卡拉锚头蚴菌株的 cyto-b(登录号:XM_949625.1)和 TaPIN1(登录号:TA18945)野生型基因。在 cyto-b(130-148 区域的 Q01 和 253-262 区域的 Q02)和 TaPIN1(A53P 和 A53T)基因中发现了非同义点突变。这些点突变是布帕伐醌对环斑驳虫感染产生抗性的原因。这些基因可作为生物标志物,用于识别任何流行地区的抗药性。为避免耐药性带来的并发症,目前需要开发具有基因抗性的牛种、强效疫苗和抗尾蚴药物(三氟士的宁和抗癌药),以控制不断增殖的具有重要经济价值的环尾丝虫病寄生虫。

Control of the sheep blowfly relies largely on the use of insecticides applied prophylactically in advance of expected fly activity. However, the blowfly has shown an ability to develop resistance to some of these insecticides. Recent reports of the co-occurrence of resistance to both dicyclanil and imidacloprid in in vitro bioassays with field-collected fly strains has raised the possibility that the two resistances may represent cross-resistance linked by a common mechanism. We investigated this by imposing insecticide selection pressure on larvae of two insecticide-resistant field strains over a number of generations using either dicyclanil or imidacloprid and then measuring changes in sensitivity to both the selecting chemical and the alternate chemical. Larvae selected over six generations with each chemical showed significant increases in resistance to the selecting chemical: resistance ratios at the IC50 5.5 - 8.1-fold higher for dicyclanil, and 3.1 - 3.8-fold for imidacloprid. The larvae also showed significant increases in levels of resistance towards the alternate chemical: resistance ratios 2.6 - 3.1-fold higher towards dicyclanil following selection with imidacloprid, and 2.2 - 3.2-fold higher towards imidacloprid following selection with dicyclanil. The increases in resistance to both chemicals after exposure to either suggests a common mechanism of resistance, at least in our laboratory-selected populations. Assays with the cytochrome P450 inhibitor aminobenzotriazole showed that this synergist was able to remove the increased resistance to both compounds in strains selected with either compound, suggesting that cytochrome P450 is responsible for the resistance observed to both chemicals. Our results confirm that cross-resistance exists between dicyclanil and imidacloprid in the sheep blowfly, and hence the two compounds should be considered as related entities in insecticide rotation strategies for flystrike control.
对羊吹蝇的控制主要依赖于在预期蝇类活动之前预防性使用杀虫剂。然而,羊吹已经显示出对某些杀虫剂产生抗药性的能力。最近有报告称,在体外生物测定中,田间采集的苍蝇菌株同时对双氰胺和吡虫啉产生了抗药性,这就提出了一种可能性,即这两种抗药性可能是由一种共同机制联系在一起的交叉抗药性。我们使用双氰胺或吡虫啉对两种对杀虫剂有抗性的田间品系的幼虫施加了杀虫剂选择压力,经过若干代后,测量了幼虫对选择化学药剂和替代化学药剂的敏感性变化,从而对这一问题进行了研究。使用每种化学品经过六代选择的幼虫对选择化学品的抗性显著增加:双环腈的抗性比 IC50 高 5.5 - 8.1 倍,吡虫啉的抗性比 IC50 高 3.1 - 3.8 倍。幼虫对另一种化学品的抗性水平也显著增加:在使用吡虫啉进行选择后,幼虫对双氰胺的抗性比率增加了 2.6 - 3.1 倍;在使用双氰胺进行选择后,幼虫对吡虫啉的抗性比率增加了 2.2 - 3.2 倍。暴露于这两种化学物质中的任何一种后,对它们的抗性都会增加,这表明至少在我们实验室选择的种群中存在一种共同的抗性机理。用细胞色素 P450 抑制剂氨基苯骈三氮唑进行的检测表明,这种增效剂能够消除用其中任何一种化合物筛选出的菌株对这两种化合物增加的抗药性,这表明细胞色素 P450 是导致对这两种化学品产生抗药性的原因。我们的研究结果证实,双氰胺和吡虫啉在羊吹螨中存在交叉抗药性,因此在飞虱控制的杀虫剂轮换策略中应将这两种化合物视为相关实体。

Blastocystis is one of the most common intestinal parasites observed in human and non-human hosts. Recent meta-analyses have indicated a potential role for pets such as dogs and cats as reservoir hosts of Blastocystis, but the data underpinning this hypothesis are of mixed quality. Reviewing data for 45,894 samples tested for Blastocystis by DNA-based methods and 11,908 subtype observations, a model was developed for calculating indices that could be used for evaluating individual species as natural hosts of Blastocystis, based on weighted products of positivity rates and subtype distributions. Data from cats and dogs were analysed, using other well-sampled hosts (pig, cattle, sheep, goat, and human) as references. Data from cats and dogs meeting the inclusion criteria were entered into the model. The overall positivity rates for pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, humans, dogs, and cats were 40 %, 40 %, 35 %, 28 %, 25 %, 6 %, and 5 %, respectively, with statistically significant lower positivity rates in cats and dogs (p < 0.0001). Indices indicating Blastocystis specificity to host ranged between 0.16 (humans) and 0.49 (cattle) for the reference hosts, whereas indices for cats and dogs were only 0.01 and 0.02, respectively. Finally, indices for ST specificity to host were higher for reference hosts (range, 0.66–0.93) than for cats (0.62) and dogs (0.56). Taken together, the analyses indicate that cats and dogs are not natural or reservoir hosts of Blastocystis and that the sporadic subtype pattern observed in these hosts might indicate exposure to Blastocystis through contaminated water/feed, including Blastocystis colonizing prey animals.
Blastocystis 是人类和非人类宿主最常见的肠道寄生虫之一。最近的荟萃分析表明,猫狗等宠物可能是囊泡蚴的蓄积宿主,但支持这一假设的数据质量参差不齐。通过对基于 DNA 方法检测的 45,894 份样本数据和 11,908 次亚型观察结果进行回顾,根据阳性率和亚型分布的加权乘积,建立了一个计算指数的模型,可用于评估作为布氏囊孢子虫天然宿主的各个物种。以其他取样充分的宿主(猪、牛、绵羊、山羊和人类)为参照,对猫和狗的数据进行了分析。符合纳入标准的猫和狗的数据被输入模型。猪、牛、绵羊、山羊、人、狗和猫的总体阳性率分别为 40%、40%、35%、28%、25%、6% 和 5%,其中猫和狗的阳性率明显较低(p < 0.0001)。在参考宿主中,表明母细胞衣原体对宿主特异性的指数介于 0.16(人)和 0.49(牛)之间,而猫和狗的指数分别仅为 0.01 和 0.02。最后,参考宿主的 ST 特异性指数(范围为 0.66-0.93)高于猫(0.62)和狗(0.56)。综合分析表明,猫和狗不是布氏囊虫的天然宿主或储库宿主,在这些宿主中观察到的零星亚型模式可能表明,它们通过受污染的水/饲料接触到布氏囊虫,包括布氏囊虫在猎物动物身上的定殖。

In the southeastern region of Brazil, ticks of the species Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus are constantly present on cattle throughout the year. This is due to climatic conditions that favor the biology of these ticks and resistance to the acaricides in use that has developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum (IBCB 130) in powdered form, applied via a drone, from the bioFUNGUS spray dispenser (NCB Sistemas Embarcados Ltda), onto pasture for controlling these ticks. This experiment was conducted at Aptaregional, Regional Research and Development Unit of Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo, Brazil. To evaluate the efficacy of treatment, two groups were formed (treated and control), each with ten calves of the Girolando breed, which were kept in two separate paddocks in which the main grass species was Brachiaria decumbens. The treated paddock received seven monthly applications (November–May) of the fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum (5 g de P. lilacinum in 200 g of wheat flour). The control paddock did not receive any treatment. Tick counts performed on the animals every two weeks showed that, over the entire period, the treatment had a mean efficacy of 48.59 %. The months of December and January presented the highest efficacy rates, of 63.50 % and 83.87 %, respectively.
在巴西东南部地区,Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus 这类蜱虫一年四季都在牛身上出没。这是由于气候条件有利于这些蜱虫的生物学特性,以及对使用中的杀螨剂产生了抗药性。这项研究的目的是评估粉末状的紫云英真菌(IBCB 130)通过无人机从 bioFUNGUS 喷雾器(NCB Sistemas Embarcados Ltda)喷洒到牧草上对控制这些蜱虫的功效。该实验在巴西圣保罗 Pindamonhangaba 地区研究与开发单位 Aptaregional 进行。为了评估治疗效果,实验组分成两组(治疗组和对照组),每组有十头吉兰多品种的小牛,分别饲养在两个不同的围场中,围场中的主要草种是十日红。处理围场每月施用七次紫云英真菌(200 克小麦粉中加入 5 克紫云英)(11 月至次年 5 月)。对照围场未进行任何处理。每两周对动物进行一次蜱虫计数,结果显示,在整个治疗期间,平均有效率为 48.59%。12 月和 1 月的有效率最高,分别为 63.50 % 和 83.87 %。

Dogs are important reservoir hosts for Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis. The complement system, as part of the innate immune defense, is responsible for initiating the fight against pathogens that may invade an organism. A failure of the complement to combat L. infantum may explain, at least in part, why a mammal species is more or less susceptible to visceral leishmaniasis. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of human and dog complement systems against L. infantum parasites. The results showed that dog serum was less effective than human serum at killing promastigote and amastigote-like forms. We also compared the efficiency of human and canine sera in classic and alternative hemolytic assays, as well as the serum efficiency of non-infected and Leishmania-infected dogs. Serum from dogs was less hemolytic than human serum in both pathways tested, but the efficiency of serum from infected dogs was higher than that of non-infected dogs. When testing C3b deposition assays on parasite surfaces, serum from infected dogs was more effective against amastigote-like forms than serum from non-infected dogs. However, both types of serum proved equally effective on promastigotes, while serum from infected dogs was more effective on amastigote-like forms. Considering the efficiency of the complement system, our results indicate that dogs are more susceptible to visceral leishmaniasis than humans are.
狗是内脏利什曼病的病原体--婴儿利什曼原虫的重要宿主。补体系统是先天性免疫防御的一部分,负责发起对可能入侵生物体的病原体的抵抗。如果补体不能对抗婴儿利什曼病,至少可以部分解释为什么某种哺乳动物或多或少容易感染内脏利什曼病。这项研究的目的是比较人类和狗的补体系统对幼年利什曼病寄生虫的有效性。结果表明,狗血清在杀死原虫和类原虫方面不如人血清有效。我们还比较了人和犬血清在传统和替代溶血试验中的效率,以及未感染和感染利什曼原虫犬的血清效率。在两种测试途径中,犬血清的溶血率都低于人血清,但感染犬血清的溶血率高于未感染犬血清的溶血率。在对寄生虫表面的 C3b 沉积检测进行测试时,来自受感染犬的血清比来自未感染犬的血清更能有效抵抗类金黄色葡萄球菌。然而,事实证明这两种血清对原生寄生虫同样有效,而来自受感染犬的血清对类原生寄生虫更有效。考虑到补体系统的效率,我们的研究结果表明,狗比人类更容易感染内脏利什曼病。

The Apicomplexa parasitic phylum rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2) plays a key role in the process of invading host cells. Eimeria tenella, an intracellular protozoan shares a similar conserved invasion pattern. However, whether E. tenella RON2 participates in the process of invading the host intestinal epithelium is poorly understood. In this study, the sequence of EtRON2 was analyzed and expressed. The expression of the truncated extracellular N-terminal fragment of EtRON2 (403–700 aa, designated EtRON2403–700) with a molecular mass of 38.3 kDa. EtRON2 in the sporozoite protein was detected at 151.4 kDa by rabbit anti-rEtRON2403–700 antibody. Immunofluorescence results showed that EtRON2 was mainly localized to the nucleus and apex of the E. tenella sporozoite. qPCR results showed that the highest expression level of EtRON2 was detected in sporulated oocysts compared with other developmental stages of E. tenella. In vitro invasion inhibition assays showed that the capacity of sporozoites to invade DF-1 cells was significantly inhibited after pretreatment with the rabbit anti-rEtRON2403–700 antibody. Silencing the EtRON2 gene by RNA interference (RNAi) significantly inhibited EtRON2 expression and significantly reduced the invasion of DF-1 cells by sporozoites. In vivo experiments revealed a significant decrease parasite burden and oocyst outputs in chicks after infection with EtRON2 gene-silenced sporozoites by cloacal inoculation. Recombinant EtRON2403–700 (rEtRON2403–700) immunizes chicks effectively against E. tenella infection by inducing humoral immunity and upregulating IFN-γ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. Furthermore, chicks exhibited increased relative weight gain rates, lower cecum lesion scores, and reduced oocyst outputs during the E. tenella challenge. H&E staining showed that the cecum tissue of chicks immunized with rEtRON2403–700 showed relatively mild histopathological changes. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrated that EtRON2 plays a key role in E. tenella invasion of the host intestinal epithelium and provides a potential target for vaccines against E. tenella infection.
寄生虫门的跳颈蛋白 2(RON2)在入侵宿主细胞的过程中发挥着关键作用。细胞内原生动物天牛埃默氏菌(Eimeria tenella)也有类似的保守入侵模式。然而,人们对天牛埃默氏菌 RON2 是否参与入侵宿主肠上皮细胞的过程还知之甚少。本研究分析并表达了 EtRON2 的序列。表达的EtRON2细胞外N端截短片段(403-700 aa,命名为EtRON2403-700)分子质量为38.3 kDa。兔抗 EtRON2403-700 抗体检测到孢子虫蛋白中的 EtRON2 为 151.4 kDa。免疫荧光结果显示,EtRON2 主要定位于天娥孢子虫的细胞核和顶端。qPCR 结果显示,与天娥孢子虫的其他发育阶段相比,EtRON2 在孢子化卵囊中的表达水平最高。体外侵袭抑制试验表明,在使用兔抗 rEtRON2403-700 抗体进行预处理后,孢子虫侵袭 DF-1 细胞的能力明显受到抑制。通过 RNA 干扰(RNAi)沉默 EtRON2 基因可明显抑制 EtRON2 的表达,并显著减少孢子虫对 DF-1 细胞的侵染。体内实验表明,通过泄殖腔接种感染了EtRON2基因沉默的孢子虫后,雏鸡体内的寄生虫负荷和卵囊产量均显著减少。重组EtRON2403-700(rEtRON2403-700)通过诱导体液免疫、上调IFN-γ和CD8+ T淋巴细胞,使雏鸡有效抵抗天牛埃希氏菌感染。此外,雏鸡的相对增重率提高,盲肠病变评分降低,在天牛感染期间卵囊产量减少。H&E染色显示,使用rEtRON2403-700免疫的雏鸡盲肠组织的组织病理学变化相对较轻。总之,本研究结果表明,EtRON2在天牛埃希氏菌侵入宿主肠道上皮细胞的过程中起着关键作用,并为预防天牛埃希氏菌感染的疫苗提供了潜在靶标。

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.), represents one of the most significant zoonotic diseases globally, affecting both humans and animals. The objective of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of E. granulosus sensu lato in sheep and goats in a pilot region with a one-year slaughterhouse follow-up period and to determine the genetic differences and haplotypes among sheep, goat, and dog isolates. To this end, the prevalence of CE cysts was determined by monitoring the slaughter of sheep and goats at least three days a week at a slaughterhouse in the Siirt province of Türkiye during 2023. Additionally, faecal samples were collected from stray dogs and analysed using both flotation and molecular techniques. The presence of CE cysts was identified in 569 (11.12 %) of the 5119 sheep and 66 (2.31 %) of the 2860 goats after slaughtering. The highest positivity was observed in November (20.39 %), while the lowest was recorded in July (5.62 %). Of the sheep that detected positive, 25 (4.39 %) were less than one year old, while 544 (95.61 %) were older than one year. Of the infected sheep, 26 (4.57 %) were male and 543 (95.43 %) were female. 204 (35.85 %) sheep exhibited fluid-filled CE cysts, 338 (59.40 %) displayed calcification, and 27 (4.75 %) demonstrated the presence of newly developed cysts. The highest positivity was observed in December (5.83 %), while the lowest was recorded in May (0.62 %) in goats. Of the positive goats, two (3 %) were less than one year old, while the remaining 64 (97 %) were older than one year. Of the goats infected with CE cysts, 10 (15.15 %) were male and 56 (84.85 %) were female. Of the cysts, 56.1 % were fluid-filled, 42.4 % were calcified and 1.5 % were newly developed. Following DNA sequence analysis of CE cyst isolates obtained from the slaughterhouse, all 61 sheep sequences were identified as E. granulosus s.s. (G1/G3). Of the 13 goat isolates, seven were identified as E. granulosus s.s. (G1/G3), while the remaining six were classified as E. canadensis (G6/G7). The centrifugal flotation method was employed to detect the presence of Isospora spp. oocysts in eight dogs, Toxocara canis and hookworm eggs in three dogs each, and Dipyllidium caninum eggs in one dog. A total of 54 dog faeces were examined. No Taeniid eggs were observed in any of the dogs. Following PCR analysis of the mt-CO1 gene region in the dog faecal samples, four samples were positive for a 875 bp band. Only one of these bands was suitable for sequence analysis, which confirmed it as E. granulosus s.s. (G1/G3).
由普通棘球蚴引起的囊性棘球蚴病(CE)是全球最重要的人畜共患病之一,对人类和动物都有影响。本研究旨在确定一个试点地区绵羊和山羊中普通棘球蚴的流行情况,并对屠宰场进行为期一年的跟踪调查,同时确定绵羊、山羊和狗分离株之间的遗传差异和单倍型。为此,在 2023 年期间,通过监测土耳其锡尔特省一家屠宰场每周至少三天的绵羊和山羊屠宰情况,确定了 CE 囊肿的流行情况。此外,还收集了流浪狗的粪便样本,并使用浮选和分子技术进行分析。在屠宰后的 5119 只绵羊和 2860 只山羊中,分别有 569 只(11.12%)和 66 只(2.31%)发现了 CE 囊肿。阳性率最高的是 11 月(20.39 %),最低的是 7 月(5.62 %)。在检测出阳性的绵羊中,25 只(4.39 %)不足一岁,544 只(95.61 %)超过一岁。在受感染的绵羊中,26 只(4.57 %)为雄性,543 只(95.43 %)为雌性。204只羊(35.85 %)表现为充满液体的CE囊肿,338只羊(59.40 %)表现为钙化,27只羊(4.75 %)表现为新形成的囊肿。山羊的阳性率最高为 12 月(5.83%),最低为 5 月(0.62%)。在阳性山羊中,有两只(3 %)不到一岁,其余 64 只(97 %)超过一岁。在感染 CE 囊肿的山羊中,10 只(15.15 %)为雄性,56 只(84.85 %)为雌性。在这些囊肿中,56.1%为充液囊肿,42.4%为钙化囊肿,1.5%为新发囊肿。对从屠宰场获得的 CE 囊肿分离物进行 DNA 序列分析后,61 个绵羊序列均被确定为肉毒梭状芽孢杆菌(G1/G3)。在13个山羊分离物中,7个被鉴定为E. granulosus s.s. (G1/G3),其余6个被归类为E. canadensis (G6/G7)。采用离心浮选法检测了 8 只狗体内的等孢子虫卵囊、3 只狗体内的犬弓形虫卵和钩虫卵,以及 1 只狗体内的犬双壳虫卵。共检查了 54 头狗的粪便。在所有狗的粪便中均未发现大肠杆菌卵。对狗粪便样本中的 mt-CO1 基因区进行 PCR 分析后发现,有四个样本的 875 bp 带呈阳性。其中只有一个条带适合进行序列分析,分析结果证实该条带为 E. granulosus s.s. (G1/G3)。

Of the infected sheep, 26 (4.57 %) were male and 543 (95.43 %) were female. 204 (35.85 %) sheep exhibited fluid-filled CE cysts, 338 (59.40 %) displayed calcification, and 27 (4.75 %) demonstrated the presence of newly developed cysts. The highest positivity was observed in December (5.83 %), while the lowest was recorded in May (0.62 %) in goats. Of the positive goats, two (3 %) were less than one year old, while the remaining 64 (97 %) were older than one year. Of the goats infected with CE cysts, 10 (15.15 %) were male and 56 (84.85 %) were female. Of the cysts, 56.1 % were fluid-filled, 42.4 % were calcified and 1.5 % were newly developed. Following DNA sequence analysis of CE cyst isolates obtained from the slaughterhouse, all 61 sheep sequences were identified as <em>E. granulosus</em> s.s. (G1/G3). Of the 13 goat isolates, seven were identified as <em>E. granulosus</em> s.s. (G1/G3), while the remaining six were classified as <em>E. canadensis</em> (G6/G7). The centrifugal flotation method was employed to detect the presence of <em>Isospora</em> spp. oocysts in eight dogs, <em>Toxocara canis</em> and hookworm eggs in three dogs each, and <em>Dipyllidium caninum</em> eggs in one dog. A total of 54 dog faeces were examined. No Taeniid eggs were observed in any of the dogs. Following PCR analysis of the mt-CO1 gene region in the dog faecal samples, four samples were positive for a 875 bp band. Only one of these bands was suitable for sequence analysis, which confirmed it as <em>E. granulosus</em> s.s. (G1/G3).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23716,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary parasitology","volume":"332 ","pages":"Article 110320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142393794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This prospective, randomized, controlled, therapeutic study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a product containing nucleotides and lactoferrin in maintaining or improving the clinical picture and laboratory findings of canine leishmaniosis (CanL). The safety and tolerance of this combination were also assessed. Forty Leishmania infantum-seropositive dogs, not requiring leishmanicidal and/or leishmaniostatic treatment, were enrolled in the study and randomized into treatment (TG) and placebo (CG) groups. Products A (containing nucleotides and lactoferrin) and B (placebo) were blindly administered to TG and CG, respectively, as palatable tablets at a rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight once every 24 h for 6 months. Following inclusion (T0), dogs were followed up after 3 (T90) and 6 (T180) months. At each time point, for all animals enrolled physical examination and laboratory tests (complete blood count, biochemical panel including C-reactive protein [CRP] and ferritin, and serum protein electrophoresis) were performed. The immunofluorescence antibody test to detect antibodies for L. infantum (T0, T180), Ehrlichia canis (T0, T90, and T180), and Anaplasma phagocytophilum (T0, T90, and T180) was executed. A CanL-dedicated clinical score, using a validated scale from 0 (i.e., absence of clinical signs) to 19, was assigned. Four dogs (n=2 in TG, n=2 in CG) did not complete the study. No statistically significant differences in CanL clinical score were observed between CG and TG at T0, T90 and T180. Both TG and CG showed significant variations in anti-L. infantum antibody titres (p=0.0001 and p=0.004, respectively). In TG, antibody titres decreased in 77.8 %, increased in 5.5 %, and remained stable in 16.7 % of dogs, while in CG, decreased in 27.8 %, increased in 50 %, and remained stable in 22.2 % of dogs. During the study, CRP and ferritin remained stable in TG and significantly increased in CG. At T180, 9 out of 18 dogs (50 %) enrolled in the CG, and 1 out of 18 (5.6 %) enrolled in the TG, developed an active form of leishmaniosis. No side effects were reported in any patient included. In conclusion, a 6-month oral administration of a supplement containing nucleotides and lactoferrin was effective in maintaining a stable clinical score, improving antibody titres and potentially reducing the progression from non-active to active forms in L. infatum seropositive dogs. Furthermore, the product was well-tolerated, easy to administer, and free of side effects.
这项前瞻性随机对照治疗研究旨在评估一种含有核苷酸和乳铁蛋白的产品在维持或改善犬利什曼病(CanL)临床症状和实验室结果方面的疗效。此外,还对这种组合的安全性和耐受性进行了评估。40只幼年利什曼病血清反应阳性、不需要利什曼杀灭剂和/或利什曼抑制剂治疗的犬被纳入研究,并随机分为治疗组(TG)和安慰剂组(CG)。产品 A(含核苷酸和乳铁蛋白)和产品 B(安慰剂)分别以适口药片的形式给 TG 和 CG 盲服,剂量为每 10 千克体重 1 片,每 24 小时服用一次,连续服用 6 个月。入组(T0)后,分别在 3 个月(T90)和 6 个月(T180)后对狗进行随访。在每个时间点,对所有入组动物进行体格检查和实验室检测(全血细胞计数、生化检查(包括 C 反应蛋白 [CRP] 和铁蛋白)以及血清蛋白电泳)。还进行了免疫荧光抗体检测,以检测婴儿嗜血杆菌(T0、T180)、犬艾氏杆菌(T0、T90 和 T180)和噬血细胞蚤(T0、T90 和 T180)的抗体。采用经过验证的从 0(即无临床症状)到 19 分的评分标准,对 CanL 进行临床评分。四只狗(TG 两只,CG 两只)未完成研究。在 T0、T90 和 T180 期間,CG 和 TG 的 CanL 臨床評分在統計學上並無顯著差異。TG 和 CG 的抗婴儿痢疾杆菌抗体滴度均有显著差异(分别为 p=0.0001 和 p=0.004)。在 TG 中,77.8% 的狗的抗体滴度下降,5.5% 的狗的抗体滴度上升,16.7% 的狗的抗体滴度保持稳定;而在 CG 中,27.8% 的狗的抗体滴度下降,50% 的狗的抗体滴度上升,22.2% 的狗的抗体滴度保持稳定。在研究期间,TG 的 CRP 和铁蛋白保持稳定,而 CG 的 CRP 和铁蛋白显著增加。T180时,18只参加CG的狗中有9只(50%)和18只参加TG的狗中有1只(5.6%)出现活动性利什曼病。所有患者均未出现副作用。总之,口服 6 个月含有核苷酸和乳铁蛋白的补充剂可有效维持临床评分稳定,提高抗体滴度,并有可能减少血清反应呈阳性的利什曼病犬从非活动型发展为活动型。此外,该产品的耐受性良好,易于使用,且无副作用。
