Abstract

Globally, Giardia infections affect an estimated 280 million people each year, making it a significant cause of enteric diarrheal disease. Despite being categorized as a neglected disease, the prevalence of Giardia in wild animals varies, with both mammals and birds serving as hosts. Molecular tools have identified nine Giardia species, including Giardia duodenalis with eight genotypes. Birds, with their wide-ranging habitats and movement capabilities, are crucial disseminators of Giardia. This review aimed to identify Giardia species in wild birds globally, utilizing various academic databases with search terms such as "wild birds" and "Giardia" in combination with Boolean operators for comprehensive results. Giardia spp. have been identified in thirteen orders of wild birds; however, they have been genotyped in only seven orders. Giardia duodenalis assemblage A was identified in wild birds from the Americas; meanwhile, assemblages A, B, D, and F were identified from Europe, and B and E from Asia. Assemblage B is mainly associated with humans and a wide number of wild animals. Therefore, ascertaining the prevalence of G. duodenalis and its assemblages across diverse avian species and orders is crucial to assess the potential risk of zoonotic transmission associated with the dissemination of this protozoan.

野生鸟类贾第鞭毛虫种类及基因型的合成研究进展
在全球范围内,贾第鞭毛虫感染每年估计影响2.8亿人,使其成为肠道腹泻病的一个重要原因。尽管被归类为一种被忽视的疾病,贾第鞭毛虫在野生动物中的流行程度各不相同,哺乳动物和鸟类都是宿主。分子工具已经鉴定出9种贾第鞭毛虫,包括具有8种基因型的十二指肠贾第鞭毛虫。鸟类具有广泛的栖息地和移动能力,是贾第鞭毛虫的重要传播者。本综述旨在利用各种学术数据库,以“野生鸟类”和“贾第鞭毛虫”为搜索词,结合布尔运算符,确定全球野生鸟类中的贾第鞭毛虫种类。贾第鞭毛虫已在13目野生鸟类中发现;然而,他们只在七个目中进行了基因分型。在美洲野生鸟类中鉴定出十二指肠贾第虫组合A;同时,组合A、B、D和F来自欧洲,B和E来自亚洲。组合B主要与人类和大量野生动物有关。因此,确定十二指肠螺杆菌在不同鸟类物种和目中的流行情况及其组合对于评估与该原虫传播相关的人畜共患传播的潜在风险至关重要。
