Abstract

The aim of this study was to detect vector-borne pathogens (Anaplasmataceae family, Rickettsia genus, and Bartonella genus) in bats from Misiones (Argentina). Thirty-three specimens were captured over 8 days using mist nets. Twenty (60.6%) blood samples were positive (11/13 Artibeus lituratus, 4/10 Desmodus rotundus, 4/8 Carollia perspicillata, and 1/2 Myotis nigricans) by PCR for the gltA gene fragment of Bartonella. All samples were negative by PCR for the Anaplasmataceae family and Rickettsia genus.

The phylogenetic analysis showed seven Bartonella genotypes. The three genotypes obtained from A. lituratus, 2 from C. perspicillata, and 1 from D. rotundus were related to Bartonella spp. from New World bats, while the sequence obtained from M. nigricans was related to Old World bats.

We identified a considerable diversity of Bartonella genotypes in a small number of bats, thus further research is required to better understand the complex bat–pathogen interaction.

阿根廷米西奥内斯不同种类蝙蝠中的巴顿氏菌属。

本研究旨在检测米西奥内斯（阿根廷）蝙蝠体内的病媒病原体（无形体科、立克次体属和巴顿氏菌属）。我们用雾网在 8 天内捕获了 33 只蝙蝠标本。通过巴顿氏菌 gltA 基因片段的 PCR 检测，20 份（60.6%）血液样本呈阳性（11/13 份 Artibeus lituratus、4/10 份 Desmodus rotundus、4/8 份 Carollia perspicillata 和 1/2 份 Myotis nigricans）。所有样本的无鞭毛虫科和立克次体属的 PCR 检测结果均为阴性。系统进化分析显示有 7 种巴顿氏菌基因型。从 A. lituratus 身上获得的 3 个基因型、从 C. perspicillata 身上获得的 2 个基因型和从 D. rotundus 身上获得的 1 个基因型与新世界蝙蝠的巴顿氏菌属有关，而从 M. nigricans 身上获得的序列与旧世界蝙蝠有关。我们在少数蝙蝠中发现了相当多样的巴顿氏菌基因型，因此需要进一步研究，以更好地了解蝙蝠与病原体之间复杂的相互作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
