Abstract:
Wild avifauna may act as fecal source of bacterial and parasitic pathogens for other birds and mammals. Most of these pathogens have a relevant impact on human and livestock health which may cause severe disease and economic loss. In the present study, the fecal samples collected from 121 wild birds belonging to 15 species of the genera Anas, Tadorna, Fulica, Arddea, Larus, Falco, Athene, Accipiter, and Columba were submitted to bacteriological and molecular analyses to detect Brucella spp., Coxiella burnetii, Mycobacterium spp., Salmonella spp., Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp., and microsporidia. Four (3.3%) animals were positive for one pathogen: one Anas penelope for C. burnetii, one Larus michahellis for S. enterica serovar Coeln, and two Columba livia for Encephalitozoon hellem. Although the prevalence rates found in the present survey were quite low, the obtained results confirm that wild birds would be the a potential fecal source of bacterial and parasitic zoonotic pathogens which sometimes can also represent a severe threat for farm animals.
摘要:
野生动物可能是其他鸟类和哺乳动物的细菌和寄生虫病原体的粪便来源。这些病原体中的大多数对人类和牲畜健康具有相关影响,可能导致严重的疾病和经济损失。在本研究中,从属于Anas属15种的121种野生鸟类中收集的粪便样本,Tadorna,富丽卡,Arddea,Larus,法尔科,Athene,Accipiter,和Columba进行了细菌学和分子分析,以检测布鲁氏菌属。,伯内蒂柯西拉,分枝杆菌。,沙门氏菌属。,隐孢子虫。,贾第虫。,和微孢子虫。四只(3.3%)动物对一种病原体呈阳性:一只阿纳斯·佩内洛普对C.burnetii,一个Larusmichahellis为S.entericaserovarcoeln,和两个哥伦巴利维亚语为头脑虫。尽管在本次调查中发现的患病率很低,所获得的结果证实,野生鸟类将是细菌和寄生虫人畜共患病病原体的潜在粪便来源,有时也可能对农场动物构成严重威胁。
