PURPOSE
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Colpodella sp. in domestic and wild animals in Cyprus. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to report the detection of Colpodella sp. in foxes (Cyprus red fox Vulpes vulpes indutus), wild birds (Eurasian coot Fulica atra, duck Anas spp.) and goats (Capra hircus) worldwide.
METHODS
A total of 180 faecal samples (29 foxes, 48 Eurasian coot, 20 Eurasian teal Anas crecca, 7 duck, 44 goats - 10 from a farm and 34 free-living individuals - and 32 sheep Ovis aries) were analyzed for the parasite by nested PCR and sequencing.
RESULTS
Four samples were positive (4/180 = 2.2%), including one goat from a farm (1/10 = 10%), one fox (1/29 = 3.4%), one Eurasian coot (1/48 = 2.1%) and one duck (1/7 = 14.3%).
CONCLUSION
The results of this study support the evidence that Colpodella sp. can infect mammals and birds, as well as livestock and wildlife, which could act as zoonotic reservoirs of the parasite and potentially pose a risk to human and animal health.
目的
本研究旨在评估塞浦路斯家畜和野生动物中锥孢藻属（Colpodella sp.）的流行情况。据作者所知，这是全球首次报道在狐狸（塞浦路斯赤狐Vulpes vulpes indutus）、野生鸟类（白骨顶鸡Fulica atra、鸭Anas spp.）和山羊（Capra hircus）中检测到锥孢藻属。
方法
通过巢式PCR和测序对总共180份粪便样本（29份狐狸样本、48份白骨顶鸡样本、20份绿翅鸭Anas crecca样本、7份鸭样本、44份山羊样本——10份来自农场，34份为自由放养个体——以及32份绵羊Ovis aries样本）进行寄生虫分析。
结果
4份样本呈阳性（4/180 = 2.2%），包括1份来自农场的山羊样本（1/10 = 10%）、1份狐狸样本（1/29 = 3.4%）、1份白骨顶鸡样本（1/48 = 2.1%）和1份鸭样本（1/7 = 14.3%）。
结论
本研究结果支持了锥孢藻属可感染哺乳动物、鸟类以及家畜和野生动物的证据，这些动物可能作为该寄生虫的人畜共患病宿主，对人类和动物健康构成潜在风险。
