Abstract:
Raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and raccoons (Procyon lotor) are invasive alien species originating from East Asia and North America, respectively. They are discussed as vectors and reservoirs for various infectious diseases, including vector-borne and zoonotic pathogens, and are therefore a potential threat to human and domestic animal health, as well as to biodiversity and conservation. In the years 2021 and 2022, 110 raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and 30 raccoons (Procyon lotor) were screened via qPCR for the presence of Leptospira spp., Rickettsia spp. and Borreliella spp. in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein as part of a health and risk assessment study. Borreliella spp. were confirmed in one raccoon dog and one raccoon, identified as Borreliella afzelii in the raccoon. Leptospira spp. were found in 21 (19.44%) raccoon dogs and 2 (6.90%) raccoons. In five raccoon dogs, Leptospira spp. were identified as Leptospira borgpetersenii, Leptospira kirschneri and Leptospira interrogans.
摘要:
浣熊犬(Nycterutesprocyonoides)和浣熊(Procyonlotor)是源自东亚和北美的外来入侵物种,分别。它们被讨论为各种传染病的媒介和水库,包括媒介传播和人畜共患病原体,因此对人类和家畜健康构成潜在威胁,以及生物多样性和保护。在2021年和2022年,通过qPCR筛选了110只浣熊犬(Nyctereutesprocyonoides)和30只浣熊(Procyonlotor)是否存在钩端螺旋体。,立克次体属。和Borreliellaspp.作为健康和风险评估研究的一部分,在德国联邦石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因州。伯氏菌属。在一只浣熊狗和一只浣熊身上被证实,在浣熊中被鉴定为阿夫泽利耳氏菌。钩端螺旋体。在21只(19.44%)浣熊犬和2只(6.90%)浣熊犬中发现。在五只浣熊狗中,钩端螺旋体。被鉴定为钩端螺旋体,克氏钩端螺旋体和问氏钩端螺旋体。
