■随着蜱传疾病逐渐成为全球第二流行的节肢动物传播疾病,越来越多的调查相应地集中在蜱上。造成这种增加的因素包括人为影响,脊椎动物动物群组成的变化,社会娱乐转变,和气候变化。在下一代测序(NGS)中使用16S基因序列方法可以对样品中的病原体进行全面的鉴定,促进全方位滴答研究的精细化方法的发展。
■在我们的调查中,我们比较了武威市蜱的微生物丰富度和生物多样性,甘肃省,根据16SNGS方法区分在草中发现的蜱和从绵羊中收集的寄生蜱。
■结果显示立克次体,柯西拉,和Francisella在所有50个纳塔利皮肤样本中检测到,这表明共感染可能与蜱中特定的共生细菌有关。我们的发现揭示了微生物的组成和多样性的显著差异,与寄生蜱相比,Friedmanniella和Bordetella属更普遍(p<0.05)。此外,网络分析表明,在具有不同生活方式的蜱中,细菌属之间的相互作用可以是促进或抑制的,相关指数|r|>0.6。例如,Francisella抑制寄生蜱中其他10种细菌的发育,而根瘤菌和节杆菌增强了所有蜱物种的定植。
■通过利用NGS技术,我们的研究揭示了蜱微生物组中高度的物种和系统发育多样性。它进一步强调了研究居住在相同栖息地环境中的寄生和探查蜱中细菌属之间相互作用的潜力。
UNASSIGNED: As tick-borne diseases rise to become the second most prevalent arthropod-transmitted disease globally, the increasing investigations focus on ticks correspondingly. Factors contributed to this increase include anthropogenic influences, changes in vertebrate faunal composition, social-recreational shifts, and climatic variation. Employing the 16S gene sequence method in next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows comprehensive pathogen identification in samples, facilitating the development of refined approaches to tick research omnidirectionally.
UNASSIGNED: In our survey, we compared the microbial richness and biological diversity of ticks in Wuwei City, Gansu province, differentiating between questing ticks found in grass and parasitic ticks collected from sheep based on 16S NGS method.
UNASSIGNED: The results show Rickettsia, Coxiella, and Francisella were detected in all 50 Dermacentor nuttalli samples, suggesting that the co-infection may be linked to specific symbiotic bacteria in ticks. Our findings reveal significant differences in the composition and diversity of microorganisms, with the Friedmanniella and Bordetella genera existing more prevalent in parasitic ticks than in questing ticks (p < 0.05). Additionally, the network analysis demonstrates that the interactions among bacterial genera can be either promotive or inhibitive in ticks exhibiting different lifestyles with the correlation index |r| > 0.6. For instance, Francisella restrains the development of 10 other bacteria in parasitic ticks, whereas Phyllobacterium and Arthrobacter enhance colonization across all tick species.
UNASSIGNED: By leveraging NGS techniques, our study reveals a high degree of species and phylogenetic diversity within the tick microbiome. It further highlights the potential to investigate the interplay between bacterial genera in both parasitic and questing ticks residing in identical habitat environments.
