摘要:

[目的]了解新疆南疆某规模化绵羊养殖场腹泻羔羊隐孢子虫感染情况和基因亚型分布特点。[方法]采集新疆维吾尔自治区某规模化绵羊养殖场4个品种1月龄以内腹泻羔羊新鲜粪便样本60份,使用饱和蔗糖溶液漂浮法检查隐孢子虫卵囊,进行种类初步鉴定;全部粪便样本提取基因组DNA后,基于隐孢子虫SSU rRNA基因位点和微小隐孢子虫gp60基因位点,对其进行PCR扩增、测序和序列分析,鉴定隐孢子虫种属和基因亚型,构建遗传进化树解析其分子遗传特征。[结果]经显微镜观察,发现38份样本呈隐孢子虫卵囊阳性,形态学初步鉴定为微小隐孢子虫;基于SSU rRNA基因位点,采用PCR方法检测出52份样本呈隐孢子虫阳性,感染率为86.67%(52/60),经序列比对分析,均为微小隐孢子虫;基于微小隐孢子虫gp60基因位点,PCR扩增后成功获得49条序列,经比对分析均为ⅡdA19G1基因亚型。[结论]该养殖场腹泻羔羊普遍感染微小隐孢子虫,其基因亚型均为ⅡdA19G1。调查结果为新疆南疆绵羊隐孢子虫种属鉴定与遗传进化研究提供了基础数据。

Abstract:

[Objective] This study was conducted to characterize the prevalence and the subgenotype distribution of Cryptosporidium in diarrheal lambs from a large-scale sheep farm in southern Xinjiang. [Method] A total of 60 fresh fecal samples were collected from the diarrheal lambs of four breeds less than 1 month old in a large-scale sheep farm in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. The species identification of Cryptosporidium oocysts was carried out by saturated sucrose flotation technique combined with microscopic examination. After the fecal genomic DNA was extracted, PCR amplifications and sequencing analyses targeting on SSU rRNA gene and gp60 gene were performed to confirm the species of Cryptosporidium and the subgenotypes of C. parvum, respectively. Furthermore, the phylogenetic tree based on the gp60 gene was constructed to reveal the molecular genetic characteristics of Cryptosporidium. [Result] Thirty-eight fecal samples were found to be positive for the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts which were preliminarily identified as C. parvum by morphology observation. Based on the SSU rRNA gene sequence comparison, a total of 52 fecal samples were positive for C. parvum, with the infection rate of 86.67% (52/60). Among them, 49 sequences of gp60 gene were obtained by PCR amplification, and the phylogenetic tree demonstrated that they all belonged to the subgenotype of ⅡdA19G1. [Conclusion] A high prevalence of C. parvum with the subgenotype of ⅡdA19G1 was observed in the diarrheal lambs in this farm. The results obtained in this study provides basic data for the species identification and genetic evolution analysis of Cryptosporidium in the sheep flocks in southern Xinjiang.
