Abstract:
Coxiella burnetii is a zoonotic intracellular bacterium that is widely distributed and affects domestic animals, wildlife, humans and non-mammalian species. This systematic review was aimed at synthesizing research findings on C. burnetii in both domestic and wild animals of South Africa. The systematic review protocol was registered with Open Society Foundations of systematic reviews ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/8WS ). PRISMA guidelines were followed to collect and evaluate relevant scientific articles published on C. burnetii infecting domestic and wild animals in South Africa. Published articles were sourced from five electronic databases, namely, Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect, EBSCO and Scopus. Results showed 11 eligible studies involving four domestic animals, three wild animals and one ectoparasite species from seven provinces across South Africa. The occurrence of C. burnetii infection was high in Ceratotherium simum (white rhinoceros) (53.9%), medium in sheep (29.0%) and low in pigs (0.9%). Limpopo province (26%) had the most recorded infections followed by KwaZulu-Natal (19%) and Free State (3%) had the least reported occurrence of C. burnetii. The current study discovered that there is scarcity of published research on prevalence and distribution of C. burnetii infecting domestic and wild animals in South Africa, and this is of concern as this bacterium is an important zoonotic pathogen of \"One Health\" importance.
摘要:
伯氏柯希菌是一种分布广泛的人畜共患胞内细菌,野生动物,人类和非哺乳动物物种。本系统综述旨在综合南非家畜和野生动物对C.burnetii的研究结果。系统审查协议已在开放社会系统审查基金会注册(https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF。IO/8WS)。遵循PRISMA指南,收集和评估了有关南非感染家畜和野生动物的C.burnetii的相关科学文章。发表的文章来自五个电子数据库,即,谷歌学者,PubMed和ScienceDirect,EBSCO和Scopus。结果显示11项合格研究涉及4种家畜,来自南非七个省的三种野生动物和一种体外寄生虫。在Ceratotheriumsimum(白犀牛)中,伯氏梭菌感染的发生率很高(53.9%),绵羊中等(29.0%),猪低(0.9%)。林波波省(26%)的感染记录最多,其次是夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省(19%),自由州(3%)的感染报告最少。目前的研究发现,在南非,关于感染家畜和野生动物的汉氏芽孢杆菌的流行和分布的研究很少,这是令人担忧的,因为这种细菌是一种重要的人畜共患病原体,具有“一个健康”的重要性。
