Abstract
Feline hemoplasmas, consisting of Mycoplasma haemofelis (M. haemofelis), Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum (Ca. M. haemominutum), and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (Ca. M. turicensis), cause feline infectious anemia and zoonoses. Using multiplex PCR and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA, 22 blood samples from fishing cats (Prionailurus viverrinus) living in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand were determined positive for M. haemofelis (13.6%)and Ca. M. haemominutum (22.7%). M. haemofelis and Ca. M. haemominutum infection can result severe anemia and asymptomatic, respectively. However, not all positive cases exhibit anemia symptoms. Future study of hemoplasma infection in wild felids is necessary for conservation and the preservation of public health in Thailand.
由血支原体(M. haemofelis)、血念珠菌支原体(Ca. M. haemominutum)和兔念珠菌支原体(Ca. M. turicensis)组成的猫血浆会引起猫传染性贫血和人畜共患病。采用多重PCR和基于16S rRNA的系统发育分析,对泰国Khao Sam Roi Yot国家公园捕捞猫(Prionailurus viverrinus)的22份血液样本检测出嗜血杆菌(13.6%)和嗜血杆菌(22.7%)阳性。嗜血分枝杆菌和嗜血分枝杆菌感染可分别导致严重贫血和无症状。然而,并非所有阳性病例都表现出贫血症状。进一步开展野生野地血原体感染的研究对保护和维护泰国公共卫生是必要的。
期刊介绍:
The Japanese Journal of Veterinary Research (JJVR) quarterly publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of veterinary science. JJVR was originally published as a “University Journal” of veterinary science at Hokkaido University from more than 60 years ago. Currently, JJVR, is Japan’s leading scientific veterinary journal, and provides valuable information for the development of veterinary science by welcoming contributions from researchers worldwide.
JJVR offers online submission for Regular Papers, Short Communications, and Review Articles that are unpublished and not being considered for publication elsewhere. Research areas include:
Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Infectious diseases, Parasitology, Laboratory Animal Science and Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pathology, Theriogenology, Molecular Medicine, Public Health, Radiation Biology, Toxicology, Wildlife Biology and Medicine, Veterinary Hygiene, The other fields related to veterinary science.
