Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Fleas are recognized as one of the most important vectors of various diseases in humans and animals. Studies have reported the distribution of fleas in different regions of China and the pathogens they carry. However, limited research exists on the detection and classification of flea-borne pathogens in Jiangxi Province. Additionally, we identified previously unreported pathogens in Pulex irritans.

What is added by this report?: In this study, 3 Ctenocephalides felis and 118 Pulex irritans collected from domestic dogs were tested for six pathogens.The results revealed that Pulex irritans carried six pathogens: Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia miyamotoi, Borrelia hermsii, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Coxiella burnetii, and Rickettsia slovaca. This is the first report of these six pathogens in Pulex irritans.

What are the implications for public health practice?: Both humans and animals in Suichuan County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, may be at risk from flea-borne infectious agents. Therefore, there is an urgent need for public health alerts, active flea surveillance and effective screening for infections in humans and animals in Suichuan County.

寄生虫致病菌检测-江西省，中国，2023。

关于这个话题我们已经知道了什么？：跳蚤被认为是人类和动物各种疾病最重要的媒介之一。研究报告了跳蚤在中国不同地区的分布及其携带的病原体。然而，江西省对蚤传病原体的检测和分类研究有限。此外，我们还发现了以前未报道过的过敏性息肉病原体。这份报告增加了什么内容？本研究对3只猫头螨和118只家犬进行了6种病原菌检测。结果表明，刺激蚤携带伯氏疏螺旋体、宫莫氏疏螺旋体、赫氏疏螺旋体、嗜吞噬细胞无形体、伯氏柯谢氏体和洛氏立克次体6种病原体。这是首次报道这6种病原菌在过敏性疱疹中出现。这对公共卫生实践有什么影响？江西省吉安市遂川县的人和动物都可能面临蚤传传染病的危险。因此，迫切需要在遂川县建立公共卫生警报、积极开展蚤类监测和有效筛查人畜感染。
