Therefore, in this study, we aimed to examine gut fungal community and potential fecal pathogen composition in wild <i>Arborophila rufipectus</i>.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Fecal samples were collected from the habitats of wild <i>A. rufipectus</i> and <i>Lophura nycthemera</i> (a widely distributed species belonging to the same family as <i>A. rufipectus</i>) in summer and autumn. Thereafter, RNA was collected and the internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene was sequenced via high-throughput sequencing to investigate seasonal variations in intestinal core fungi, microbial fungi, and potential pathogenic fungi.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The gut microbiota of <i>A. rufipectus</i> and <i>L. nycthemera</i> were highly similar and mainly consisted of three phyla, Ascomycota (58.46%), Basidiomycota (28.80%), and Zygomycota (3.56%), which accounted for 90.82% of the fungal community in all the samples. Further, the predominant genera were <i>Ascomycota_unclassified</i> (12.24%), <i>Fungi_unclassified</i> (8.37%), <i>Davidiella</i> (5.18%), <i>Helotiales_unclassified</i> (2.76%), <i>Wickerhamomyces</i> (1.84%), and <i>Pleosporales_unclassified</i> (1.14%), and the potential fecal pathogens identified included <i>Candida</i>, <i>Cryptococcus</i>, <i>Trichosporon</i>, and <i>Malassezia</i>.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our results provide evidence that the diversity of intestinal fungi in the endangered species, <i>A. rufipectus</i>, is similar to that in the common species, <i>L. nycthemera</i>, and may serve as a basis for monitoring the status of <i>A. rufipectus</i> and for developing conservation measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":12772,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Veterinary Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11514364/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142521738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
