Morbidity and mortality due to Babesia ovis in sheep flocks grazing in an enzootic area of Israel occur yearly, about 2 weeks after detection of adult Rhipicephalus bursa ticks on the animals. Disease incidence peaks in May, but lasts throughout the active period of the adult ticks in the spring-summer months of April–July. No clinical cases of babesiosis have been registered during the active period of the preimaginal stages of R. bursa, from October to February. Incidence of parasitaemia during the spring-summer months was variable, ranging between 2 and 25%. However, in the winter months the incidence of parasitaemia in hoggets increased considerably, reaching 4–60% of the animals.

A positive serological response to B. ovis was found in 84.5% of the hoggets and 88.9% of the ewes. In ewes, the prevalence of the serological response showed no marked seasonal variations. Colostral sera of 67.5% and 75% of the ewes and hoggets, respectively, were serologically positive for B. ovis. No antibodies were detected in the sera of lambs less than 3–4 months of age. The epizootiology of sheep babesiosis appears to differ from that of bovine babesiosis.  相似文献

The aim of this investigation was to find out the prevalence of Francesella tularensis in some provinces of China. Using the general and subspecies PCR detection method for Francesella tularensis established in our laboratory, PCR detection of Francesella tularensis in rabbits and ticks was carried out in provinces with high-density rabbits feeding and some provinces and cities with sheep and cattle stock. The results showed that DNA detection of Francesella tularensis from rabbit tissues and ticks carried by cattle and sheep was positive. 12 out of 218 rabbit samples were positive (5.5% positive rate), and 15 tick samples were positive (3.1%) of 490 tick samples. In terms of geographical distribution, most of the positive rabbit samples were from Shandong, Henan and Sichuan province, however, ticks collected from Yunnan and Shandong province showed a higher positive rate. PCR detection showed that Francesella tularensis subspecies in this investigation was F.h, which was a subspecies with strong toxicity. This investigation revealed that Francesella tularensis presented in rabbits and ticks, public health and safety risks of Francesella tularensis existed in Shandong and Yunnan province, which should be paid more attention by the relevant scientific research institutions, medical institutions and government departments.  相似文献

The efficacy and safety of a recombinant Taenia ovis protein was tested in sheep using 13 different adjuvant formulations, including oil adjuvants, aluminium salts, saponin, Iscoms and DEAE-dextran. The oil adjuvants, saponin and DEAE-dextran gave the highest antibody responses and greatest degree of protection against challenge infection with T. ovis eggs. Duration of immunity studies with a saponin based vaccine showed that highly significant protection (>90% reduction of cyst numbers) was achieved when sheep were challenge infected one month after immunisation. Significant protection (79%) was still present when sheep were challenged 6 months after immunisation. The optimum dose for this batch of saponin was 10 mg, which stimulated a peak antibody titre of 38,400, 4 weeks after immunisation and did not cause injection site reactions. Dialysed saponin was shown to retain its adjuvant properties and allowed an increase in dose to 30 mg without site reaction, resulting in a peak antibody titre of 51,200.  相似文献

When preparations containing smooth Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used as antigens in an ELISA, strong positive reactions were obtained with sera from sheep infected with Brucella melitensis or with Brucella ovis. Oxidation of the LPS with sodium metaperiodate greatly reduced the extent of the cross-reactions with antisera to B. ovis, with little effect on the reactions with antisera to smooth B. melitensis. Periodate oxidation of hot saline extract (HSX) antigen of B. ovis markedly reduced its reactivity in ELISA with anti-B. ovis sera and eliminated cross-reactivity with anti-B. melitensis sera. The reactivity of HSX was maintained after treatment with proteinase K.

A simple ELISA system, in which replicate samples from a single serum dilution were tested in parallel against both B. ovis HSX antigen and periodate-oxidised smooth phase B. abortus LPS, was evaluated. It was found to discriminate well between antibodies induced by vaccination or virulent infection with B. melitensis strains and those induced by infection with B. ovis.  相似文献

Serum samples from 408 sheep from different regions of Chile and 447 alpacas (Llama pacos) from the north of the country were tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies. The indirect haemagglutination test (IHAT) was used in both species and the indirect immunofluorescence test (IIFT) was also used on the sheep samples in order to compare the performance of the tests in that species. In both tests, titers ≥1:16 were considered diagnostically significant. Sera from 49 sheep (12%) were positive to T. gondii antibodies by the IHAT. When using the IIFT, 114 sheep sera (28%) were positive. The different results obtained in sheep sera between the tests were significant (p<0.0001). No differences were observed between geographical locations or sex of the sampled sheep regarding serological detection of T. gondii antibodies in sheep. As expected, adult sheep showed higher T. gondii reactivity than young sheep (p=0.0008). The corrected prevalence of toxoplasmosis in alpaca was 16.3% (32 positive out of 447). The rather low prevalence in alpacas may be associated with their extensive management as well as the extreme climatic conditions of The Andes which apparently would not be favorable for the transmission of the parasite.  相似文献

Bovine theileriosis was a kind of hemo-protozoan diseases that seriously hindered the sustainable development of cattle industry.In the present study, the infection of Theileria was detected using microscopic examination and species-specifc PCR of T.annulata, T.sergenti and T.sinensis from 18 blood samples collected from a breeding cattle farm in China.Then ITS and MPSP genes were amplified and cloned using universal primers of ITS and allele-specific primers of 4 major piroplasm surface protein (MPSP) from the positive samples.The sequences were used to make alignment, polymorphism and phylogeny analysis.The results showed that 3 samples were positive for Theileria and the 3 positive samples were all the T.sergenti infection.The amplification of allelic MPSP gene of T.sergenti from the 3 positive samples showed that two of them were single infection by Ikeda-type and another one was co-infection with both Chitose-type and Ikeda-type, while Buffeli-type and Thai-type were not detected.Moreover, on the basis of phylogenetic tree constructed with MPSP gene sequences, types 1 and 2 of MPSP were confirmed to be present in the cattle farm.The results revealed that there were T.sergenti infection in the breeding cattle farm, and these parasites at least with 2 allelic MPSP gene types were present, which indicated that the immune prevention and control of the disease became more complicated.Our research laid foundation of the further study on T.sergenti infection and disease prevention and control.  相似文献

Theileria parva is the causative agent of a lethal tick-borne disease of cattle occurring in eastern, central and southern Africa. Variations in the sensitivity of the serological and molecular tests with seasonal vector occurrence and discrepancies between low PCR prevalence and high T. parva vector density are a setback to estimate true prevalences. Therefore, the objectives of the present studies were to evaluate (1) the sensitivity of three serological tests (IFAT, ELISA and SELISA) and one molecular test (PCR) in the diagnosis of chronic T. parva infections in four different agro-ecological zones of Rwanda and (2) the effect of tick challenge and animal's age on the sensitivity of PCR. Blood samples from 635 bovines were collected in four agro-ecological zones of Rwanda. All sera were screened using the IFAT, ELISA, SELISA and PCR. The binary results of the four diagnostic tests were introduced separately for each agro-ecological zone in a Bayesian model to estimate the prevalence of T. parva infections and the sensitivity of the four diagnostic tests. All test specificities were set to 100%. The estimated T. parva prevalence was much higher (83–85%) than estimations based on single diagnostic tests. The estimated sensitivity of serological tests was relatively constant and ranged from 57 to 75% in the various areas. The sensitivity of PCR showed more pronounced variations, ranging from 66% in the low T. parva transmission (high land) zones compared to 24% in the highly vector infested (low land) zones. Calves and adult cattle (n = 194) were also sampled in regularly and irregularly dipped herds in the low land region. The apparent T. parva prevalence detected by PCR was significantly higher in calves than in adult cattle and in herds regularly treated with acaricides, while no significant differences were found with IFAT. The conditional probability that a sample was positive at PCR while it was positive at IFAT was significantly lower in adults. The implication of these findings in the use of diagnostic assays for epidemiological studies is discussed.  相似文献

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to assess the presence and the frequency of Babesia ovis infection in the adult Rhipicephalus bursa and their hosts in Elazig province located in eastern Turkey. Tick and blood samples were collected from 32 sheep and 28 goats of four selected herds. A total of 226 R. bursa were randomly selected from the collected ticks and their salivary glands were dissected out in 0.85% saline under stereo microscope. DNA amplification method revealed that the frequency of B. ovis infections in the ticks and the small ruminants were 16.37% (37/226) and 6.66% (4/60), respectively. Three positive products, two of which were from the salivary glands of R. bursa and the other from sheep blood were purified from agarose gel and sequenced. The results showed that nucleotide sequences were identical to the previously reported nucleotide sequences of B. ovis. It is concluded that R. bursa might play an important role in the field as a natural vector of the parasite.  相似文献

Toxocarosis is a worldwide parasitic infection that affects both cats and dogs. Toxocara cati (Schrank, 1788) syn.Toxocara mystax (Zeder, 1800) prevalence was studied in faeces from stray cats collected from the open spaces of public institutions of Buenos Aires city, both building and surrounding open spaces are fenced off. Of the 465 samples obtained from March to June of 2005, 58.3% were found to have parasite eggs. The following parasites were identified from the 271 positive samples: T. cati (61.2%), Cystoisospora spp. (20.3%), Trichuris spp. (17.0%), Toxascaris leonina (15.1%), Ancylostoma spp. (14%) and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (2.6%). T. cati prevalence was 35.7% (95% confidence interval: 31.2–40.1), with a 42.2% single isolations. The most frequent combination was T. cati and Cystoisospora spp. (9%). More than half the areas studied showed over 40% prevalence. Seventy-one percent of the collected samples were fresh with a variable moist consistency and 29% were older with a dry consistency. A statistically significant association was found between sample consistency and presence of parasites (χ2 = 10.81; p = 0.001) as also between sample consistency and presence of T. cati (χ2 = 11.27; p = 0.0007). Moist consistencies were significantly different from the rest: consistency (wet or dry) versus parasites (z = 1.95; p = 0.02) (95% confidence interval: 0.004–0.203); consistency (wet or dry) versus T. cati (z = 3.25; p = 0.0006) (95% confidence interval: 0.075–0.254). The cat population that inhabits these public green spaces contaminates the environment, thus transforming them into dangerous spaces with a variable rate for the human population that spends time in these places.  相似文献

One hundred and twenty-one Riemerella anatipestifer field strains from wild birds, domesticated poultry and pigs were examined for their ability to produce acid from carbohydrates by using conventional biochemical and buffered single substrate (BSS) test methods. The type strains of the species R. anatipestifer and taxometrically related genera Chryseobacterium and Bergeyella were included in the study. In contrast to 10 indole-positive R. anatipestifer variant strains, only a few of the 111 typical indole-negative R. anatipestifer strains produced acid from dextrin (32%), glucose (17%), maltose (14%) and trehalose (5%) when the conventional test procedure was used. Using the BSS test all the field isolates and the type strain of R. anatipestifer produced acid from one or more carbohydrates, most of them from dextrin (96%), maltose (91%), glucose (87%), mannose (83%), less frequently from fructose (38%) and only in some cases from trehalose (19%). One hundred and six (87%) of the R. anatipestifer strains could be assigned to 8 biovars, based on the diversity of the carbohydrate acidification patterns. The remaining 16 R. anatipestifer isolates gave delayed reactions and displayed 13 different carbohydrate acidification profiles. The Chryseobacterium and Bergeyella type strains also produced acid from more carbohydrates when the BSS test was used. The BSS-carbohydrate acidification pattern of the Chryseobacterium indologenes strain was similar to that of R. anatipestifer biovar 3.  相似文献

Tissue extracts from larval instars of the sheep nasal bot, Oestrus ovis, were resolved by gel electrophoresis under both native and denaturing conditions. Polypeptides resolved under these conditions were tested by immunoblotting against sera of infested sheep. Of all tissues examined in this study, salivary glands proved to be major immunogens in infested sheep. Salivary gland polypeptides were also detected in the washing solution as larval secretory products (LSP). To a minor extent, a few polypeptides from the larval cuticle were also found to be immunogenic, but they did not contribute to LSP. These results were further corroborated by nasal infestation of rabbits that also developed specific antibodies against larval salivary gland polypeptides from Oestrus ovis.  相似文献
