Abstract

Cryptococcus gattii is a fungal pathogen that primarily affects the respiratory and nervous systems of humans and other animals. C. gattii emerged in temperate North America in 1999 as a multispecies outbreak of cryptococcosis in British Columbia (Canada) and Washington State and Oregon (USA), affecting humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. Here we describe the C. gattii epizootic in odontocetes. Cases of C. gattii were identified in 42 odontocetes in Washington and British Columbia between 1997 and 2016. Species affected included harbor porpoises Phocoena phocoena (n = 26), Dall's porpoises Phocoenoides dalli (n = 14), and Pacific white-sided dolphins Lagenorhynchus obliquidens (n = 2). The probable index case was identified in an adult male Dall's porpoise in 1997, 2 yr prior to the initial terrestrial outbreak. The spatiotemporal extent of the C. gattii epizootic was defined, and cases in odontocetes were found to be clustered around terrestrial C. gattii hotspots. Case-control analyses with stranded, uninfected odontocetes revealed that risk factors for infection were species (Dall's porpoises), age class (adult animals), and season (winter). This study suggests that mycoses are an emerging source of mortality for odontocetes, and that outbreaks may be associated with anthropogenic environmental disturbance.

摘要

新型隐球菌是一种真菌病原体,主要影响人类和其他动物的呼吸系统和神经系统。1999 年,新型隐球菌在北美的温带地区出现,在不列颠哥伦比亚省(加拿大)、华盛顿州和俄勒冈州(美国)爆发了一种多物种隐球菌病,影响到人类、家畜和野生动物。在这里,我们描述了在齿鲸中的新型隐球菌爆发。1997 年至 2016 年间,在华盛顿州和不列颠哥伦比亚省的 42 头齿鲸中发现了新型隐球菌病例。受影响的物种包括港湾鼠海豚(Phocoena phocoena)(n = 26)、白腰鼠海豚(Phocoenoides dalli)(n = 14)和太平洋白海豚(Lagenorhynchus obliquidens)(n = 2)。可能的首例病例是在 1997 年一只成年雄性白腰鼠海豚中发现的,这比最初的陆地爆发早了 2 年。确定了新型隐球菌爆发的时空范围,并发现齿鲸中的病例聚集在陆地新型隐球菌热点周围。对搁浅的未感染齿鲸进行病例对照分析表明,感染的危险因素是物种(白腰鼠海豚)、年龄组(成年动物)和季节(冬季)。本研究表明,真菌病是齿鲸死亡的一个新的来源,爆发可能与人为的环境干扰有关。
