A year-round molecular epidemiological survey (2017 to 2018) was conducted on three hemoplasmas and two Bartonella species with zoonotic potential in client-owned cats in Beijing and Shanghai. Among 668 specimens, the overall hemoplasma-positive rate was 4.9% (3.4% for Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum, 0.9% for Mycoplasma haemofelis and 1.2% for Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis). The overall Bartonella-positive rate was 8.5% (4.8% for B. henselae and 4.3% for B. clarridgeiae). Age, breed, ectoparasiticide use and stray history, but not city, season and gender, were significantly associated with the positive rates of one or more pathogens. This is also the first report on the prevalence of Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis in cats in China.
对北京和上海宠物猫体内三种具有人畜共患病潜力的血支原体和两种巴尔通体进行了为期一年(2017年至2018年)的分子流行病学调查。在668份样本中,血支原体总体阳性率为4.9%(溶血微小支原体“Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum”为3.4%,溶血猫支原体Mycoplasma haemofelis为0.9%,图瑞西血支原体“Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis”为1.2%)。巴尔通体总体阳性率为8.5%(汉赛巴尔通体B. henselae为4.8%,克拉氏巴尔通体B. clarridgeiae为4.3%)。年龄、品种、是否使用体外驱虫药和流浪史与一种或多种病原体的阳性率显著相关,但城市、季节和性别与阳性率无关。这也是中国首次关于猫体内图瑞西血支原体“Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis”流行情况的报告。
