Abstract

Despite the great diversity of bats (64 species) in the State of Acre, northwestern Brazil, there are no studies on occurrence and diversity of Bartonella spp. in bats in this region. The present study investigated the occurrence and molecular identity of Bartonella spp. in spleen samples (n = 271) from bats of 30 different species from this region, within the Amazon biome. Twenty-one out of 208 (10.1%) samples positive in the PCR for the mammalian gapdh endogenous genes were positive in the qPCR for Bartonella spp. based on the nuoG gene. The two gltA Bartonella genotypes detected grouped with those previously identified in bats from other locations, expanding the diversity of genotypes associated with bats. This study provided the first molecular evidence of the presence of Bartonella spp. in bats in the state of Acre and in bats of the species Lophostoma silvicolum, Vampyressa thyone, Tonatia saurophila and Phyllostomus elongatus.

巴西亚马逊森林蝙蝠中的巴顿氏菌属。

尽管巴西西北部阿克里州的蝙蝠种类繁多（64 种），但却没有关于该地区蝙蝠体内巴顿氏菌的发生和多样性的研究。本研究调查了该地区亚马逊生物群落中 30 种不同蝙蝠的脾脏样本（n = 271）中巴氏杆菌属的发生和分子特征。在对哺乳动物 gapdh 内源基因的 PCR 检测中呈阳性的 208 份样本中，有 21 份（10.1%）在基于 nuoG 基因的巴顿氏菌 qPCR 检测中呈阳性。检测到的两种 gltA 巴顿氏菌基因型与之前在其他地方的蝙蝠中发现的基因型相同，从而扩大了与蝙蝠相关的基因型的多样性。这项研究首次提供了分子证据，证明阿克里州的蝙蝠以及 Lophostoma silvicolum、Vampyressa thyone、Tonatia saurophila 和 Phyllostomus elongatus 等物种中存在巴顿氏菌。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Research Communications publishes fully refereed research articles and topical reviews on all aspects of the veterinary sciences. Interdisciplinary articles are particularly encouraged, as are well argued reviews, even if they are somewhat controversial. The journal is an appropriate medium in which to publish new methods, newly described diseases and new pathological findings, as these are applied to animals. The material should be of international rather than local interest. As it deliberately seeks a wide coverage, Veterinary Research Communications provides its readers with a means of keeping abreast of current developments in the entire field of veterinary science.
