摘要

在兽医治疗过程中对动物身上的蜱虫进行偶然采样，可为野生动物接触病原体提供重要信息。在此，我们报告了 2014-2016 年在肯尼亚莱基皮亚县及其附近地区从 10 种动物身上采样的蜱虫中检测到的病原体和其他蜱媒生物。病原体分析采用 Fluidigm PCR 和 Illumina 测序相结合的方法进行。我们检测到了一系列影响人类、家畜和野生动物健康的重要病原体，包括边缘疟原虫（Anaplasma marginale）、非洲立克次体（Rickettsia africae）和副疟原虫（Theileria parva）。这些发现拓展了我们对野生动物接触蜱媒病原体的有限了解，以及对动物健康和保护的潜在影响。

A Suite of Pathogens Detected in Ticks Sampled From Wildlife Hosts in Central Kenya

Opportunistic sampling of ticks from animals during veterinary treatment offers important insights about wildlife exposure to pathogens. Here, we report pathogens and other tick-borne organisms detected in ticks sampled from 10 animal species in and near Laikipia County, Kenya, in 2014–2016. Pathogen analysis was performed using a combination of Fluidigm PCR and Illumina sequencing. We detected a suite of important pathogens affecting human and domestic and wild animal health, including Anaplasma marginale, Rickettsia africae and Theileria parva. These findings expand our limited understanding of wildlife exposure to tick-borne pathogens and potential ramifications for animal health and conservation.

期刊介绍： African Journal of Ecology (formerly East African Wildlife Journal) publishes original scientific research into the ecology and conservation of the animals and plants of Africa. It has a wide circulation both within and outside Africa and is the foremost research journal on the ecology of the continent. In addition to original articles, the Journal publishes comprehensive reviews on topical subjects and brief communications of preliminary results.
