Abstract

Aims

Recent research has prioritized emerging and re-emerging diseases that affect human and animal health, particularly to describe how these diseases enter countries and determine their transmission cycles. Given that migratory birds play a significant role in spreading infections, the present study analysed their migration paths and specimens to investigate Orthoflavivirus, Orthonairovirus, Alphavirus and Phlebovirus in birds in Samsun province, Türkiye.

Methods and Results

For these viruses, 312 samples from 56 birds were analysed using RT-PCR and qRT-PCR. Toscana virus (TOSV) was identified in 14 birds (four mallards, five partridges, four quails and one pigeon), representing 25% of the birds sampled. Genotype B was reported in all 14 birds. After inoculating the positive tissues in cell cultures, TOSV was isolated from the organs of pigeons, mallards and partridges.

Conclusions

This is the first time TOSV has been isolated in cell culture from birds and indicates that they may play a role in spreading TOSV in Türkiye. The results also suggest that TOSV might be carried between countries by migratory birds.

鸟类在托斯卡纳病毒的传播中起作用吗?初步隔离结果来自基耶岛最北端的鸟类。

目的:最近的研究优先考虑了影响人类和动物健康的新出现和再出现的疾病，特别是描述这些疾病如何进入国家并确定其传播周期。鉴于候鸟在传染病传播中起着重要作用，本研究分析了候鸟的迁徙路径和标本，调查了基耶省三顺省鸟类中的正黄病毒、正鼻虫病毒、甲病毒和白蛉病毒。方法与结果:采用RT-PCR和qRT-PCR对56只禽鸟的312份样本进行了病毒分析。在14只鸟类(4只野鸭、5只鹧鸪、4只鹌鹑和1只鸽子)中鉴定出托斯卡纳病毒(TOSV)，占抽样鸟类的25%。所有14只鸡均报告为基因型B。在细胞培养中接种阳性组织后，从鸽子、野鸭和鹧鸪的器官中分离出TOSV。结论:这是首次从鸟类细胞培养中分离到TOSV，表明它们可能在 rkiye中传播TOSV。结果还表明，TOSV可能通过候鸟在国家之间传播。

期刊介绍： Zoonoses and Public Health brings together veterinary and human health researchers and policy-makers by providing a venue for publishing integrated and global approaches to zoonoses and public health. The Editors will consider papers that focus on timely collaborative and multi-disciplinary research in zoonoses and public health. This journal provides rapid publication of original papers, reviews, and potential discussion papers embracing this collaborative spirit. Papers should advance the scientific knowledge of the sources, transmission, prevention and control of zoonoses and be authored by scientists with expertise in areas such as microbiology, virology, parasitology and epidemiology. Articles that incorporate recent data into new methods, applications, or approaches (e.g. statistical modeling) which enhance public health are strongly encouraged.
