can cause disease in humans and in a wide range of animal species, especially in farm ruminants. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and genetic diversity of related to 1185 cattle abortion cases in Latvia during 2013-2018. The prevalence of among cattle abortions was 16.1% (191/1185). The seasonality of abortions was observed with significantly higher occurrence ( < 0.01) in spring (March-May). In 61.0% of the cases, the affected cattle were under four years of age. abortions were observed during the third (64.6%) and second (33.3%) trimesters of gestation. Overall, 27 different sequence types (ST) were detected, and four of them, ST29 (clonal complex, CC29), ST37 (CC37), ST451 (CC11) and ST7 (CC7), covered more than half of the isolates. Key virulence factors like the -dependent virulence cluster and were observed in all the analyzed isolates, but were associated with individual sequence types. Our results confirmed that is the most important causative agent of cattle abortions in Latvia and more than 20 different STs were observed in abortions in cattle.
可导致人类和多种动物发病,尤其是农场反刍动物。本研究的目的是确定2013年至2018年期间拉脱维亚1185例牛流产病例中相关的流行率和遗传多样性。牛流产中该菌的流行率为16.1%(191/1185)。观察到该菌引起的流产具有季节性,春季(3月至5月)发生率显著更高(P<0.01)。在61.0%的病例中,受影响的牛年龄在4岁以下。该菌引起的流产发生在妊娠晚期(64.6%)和中期(33.3%)。总体而言,共检测到27种不同的序列类型(ST),其中四种,即ST29(克隆复合体,CC29)、ST37(CC37)、ST451(CC11)和ST7(CC7),涵盖了一半以上的分离株。在所有分析的分离株中均观察到与毒力相关的毒力簇和关键毒力因子,但这些因子与个体序列类型有关。我们的结果证实,该菌是拉脱维亚牛流产最重要的病原体,在牛流产中观察到20多种不同的ST。
