Abstract

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a predominant pathogen that presents significant public health and animal husbandry challenges. Information on the prevalence and genotypes of E. bieneusi in pigeons is scarce. In this study, 207 faecal samples were collected from pigeons in two parks in Zhengzhou, China, and subjected to nested polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) analysis for the detection of E. bieneusi. The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi was found to be 15.5% (32/207) across the two parks. ITS sequence analysis identified only the Peru6 genotype (n = 32), which phylogenetic analysis placed within the zoonotic group 1. Among the E. bieneusi isolates, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) at MS1, MS4 and MS7 loci identified 19, 13 and 23 samples, respectively. Of the samples, 11 were successfully amplified and sequenced at all three loci, resulting in nine distinct multilocus genotypes (MLGs). This suggests that pigeons may play a role in the transmission of E. bieneusi to humans and that there is high genetic variability of E. bieneusi in pigeons from Zhengzhou in China.

郑州市两个公园鸽子中白氏肠细胞虫的流行及基因型多样性。

宾氏肠胞虫是一种主要病原体，对公共卫生和畜牧业构成重大挑战。关于在鸽子中的流行率和基因型的信息很少。本研究在郑州市2个公园采集了207份鸽子粪便标本，采用巢式聚合酶链反应（巢式pcr）检测了布氏埃希菌。2个公园的总流行率为15.5%（32/207）。ITS序列分析仅鉴定出Peru6基因型（n = 32），系统发育分析将其置于人畜共患病第1群。分别在MS1、MS4和MS7位点进行多位点序列分型（MLST）鉴定19份、13份和23份样本。在11份样本中，成功扩增并测序了所有三个位点，得到了9种不同的多位点基因型（mlg）。这表明鸽子可能在白僵杆菌向人类的传播中发挥了作用，并且中国郑州鸽子的白僵杆菌具有很高的遗传变异性。

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.
