Berlin strains of Histomonas meleagridis were subcultivated to produce cyst-like stages. These strains were studied for their ITS 1 and 18S rRNA properties and compared with sequences in data banks of other H. meleagridis strains, Dientamoeba fragilis, and some species of the genus Trichomonas and relatives. The Berlin isolates that had previously been shown to be able to develop cyst-like structures (Munsch et al. 2008) represent a significant cluster among the published data of other Histomonas meleagridis isolates and thus the formation of cysts might be a common feature that would open further possibilities of transmission.
火鸡组织滴虫的柏林菌株经过传代培养以产生囊样阶段。对这些菌株的内转录间隔区1(ITS 1)和18S核糖体RNA(rRNA)特性进行了研究,并与其他火鸡组织滴虫菌株、脆弱双核阿米巴以及毛滴虫属的一些物种及其亲缘种数据库中的序列进行了比较。之前已证明能够形成囊样结构的柏林分离株(Munsch等人,2008年)在其他火鸡组织滴虫分离株的已发表数据中代表一个显著的聚类,因此囊肿的形成可能是一个共同特征,这将为传播带来更多可能性。
