Abstract
A large number of Sarcocystis spp. infect birds as intermediate hosts, but pigeons are rarely affected. We identified a novel Sarcocystis sp. that causes lethal neurologic disease in domestic pigeons in Germany. Experimental infections indicated transmission by northern goshawks, and sequence analyses indicated transnational distribution. Worldwide spread is possible.
摘要
大量的 Sarcocystis 属寄生虫感染鸟类作为中间宿主，但鸽子很少受到感染。我们在德国鉴定出一种新型的 Sarcocystis 寄生虫，它会导致家鸽致命的神经系统疾病。实验感染表明这种寄生虫通过北方苍鹰传播，序列分析表明其具有跨国分布的特征。这种寄生虫可能在全球范围内传播。
