This report describes the detection of zoonotic Cryptosporidium muris, C. parvum subgenotype IIa and Giardia duodenalis genotype B in urban rodents in Malaysia. A rare occurrence of C. meleagridis was also reported suggesting a role of rodents in mechanical transmission of this pathogen. Utilization of DNA sequencing and subtyping analysis confirmed the presence of zoonotic C. parvum subtypes IIaA17G2R1 and IIaA16G3R1 for the first time in rodents.
本报告描述了在马来西亚城市啮齿动物中检测到人畜共患的微小隐孢子虫、隐孢子虫IIa亚型和十二指肠贾第鞭毛虫B基因型。还报告了罕见的火鸡隐孢子虫病例,提示啮齿动物在该病原体的机械传播中发挥作用。DNA测序和亚型分析的应用首次证实了啮齿动物中存在人畜共患的隐孢子虫IIaA17G2R1和IIaA16G3R1亚型。
