概括
芬兰的狗和猫经常遇到携带各种传播病原体 (TBPs) 的,包括Borrelia和Rickettsia物种. 这凸显了对物加强预防策略的需要,以减轻疾病传播.
科学领域:
- 兽医昆虫学 兽医昆虫学
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 寄生虫学的寄生虫学
背景情况:
- 气候变化正在加剧传播疾病 (TBD) 的全球流行.
- 芬兰已经观察到人类病例的增加,这表明暴露的增加.
- 芬兰没有系统地追踪狗和猫TBD病例,这阻碍了趋势分析.
研究的目的:
- 确定芬兰从狗和猫中摘取的的传播病原体 (TBPs) 的流行率和类型.
- 在全国范围内绘制这些病原体的空间分布图.
- 评估芬兰物对虫和相关疾病的暴露.
主要方法:
- 从狗和猫身上收集了众筹的样 (3697 个Ixodes ricinus,2355 个Ixodes persulcatus).
- 使用qPCR进行了Borrelia spp.,Rickettsia spp.,Anaplasma phagocytophilum,Neoehrlichia mikurensis,Babesia spp.,Francisella tularensis,Bartonella spp.和传播脑炎病毒 (TBEV) 的选.
- 在芬兰的行政区域,病原体发生率被绘制为地图.
主要成果:
- 成人 (99%) 主要在物身上发现.
- 成年的患病率为:Borrelia (26.2%),Rickettsia (9.3%),Anaplasma phagocytophilum (1.1%),TBEV (1.1%),Neoehrlichia mikurensis (0.6%),Babesia (0.4%).这些的发病率大约是每年发生的一次.
- 在全国范围内检测到Borrelia和Rickettsia;其他病原体显示零星分布. 没有检测到巴托内拉菌和F. tularensis.
结论:
- 芬兰的狗和猫经常接触携带各种病原体的虫.
- 由于Borrelia和Rickettsia的广泛存在,需要促进物虫保护措施.
- 成人在物上的比例很高,这引发了关于它们在种群动态中的作用的问题.

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria
3.0K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes
1.5K
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...

Arboviral Encephalitis
59
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...
