The improvement in detection techniques has allowed the identification of multi-homing parasitism in Theileria parasites. Herein we evaluated the experimental infectivity of T. luwenshuni and T. uilenbergi in Chinese Kunming mice by screening blood samples of experimentally inoculated mice by microscopic examination（ME） and PCR. T. luwenshuni infected Chinese Kunming mice and 20 mice inoculated with this parasite were positive by ME and PCR. In addition, T. uilenbergi infected mice and 20 mice inoculated with this species were positive by ME and PCR. However, the number of red blood cells and the levels of hemoglobin of 40 infected mice had no obvious changes in the course of infection. Our results demonstrated the multi-homing parasitism of T. luwenshuni and T. uilenbergi, which were believed to be parasites of sheep and goats. This study was the first to demonstrate the infection of T. luwenshuni and T. uilenbergi in Kunming mice.展开更多
以GenBank中公布的巴贝斯虫球状体蛋白3(spherical body protein3,SBP3)基因序列为模板,设计合成特异性引物,从我国分离的6株羊巴贝斯虫基因组DNA和cDNA中扩增SBP3基因全长序列;利用生物信息学分析软件,进行基因序列比对、结构特征分析...以GenBank中公布的巴贝斯虫球状体蛋白3(spherical body protein3,SBP3)基因序列为模板,设计合成特异性引物,从我国分离的6株羊巴贝斯虫基因组DNA和cDNA中扩增SBP3基因全长序列;利用生物信息学分析软件,进行基因序列比对、结构特征分析和遗传进化分析,以阐明我国羊巴贝斯虫SBP3基因特性和各虫株间的分类关系;以SBP3基因作为靶标基因,建立巢式PCR检测方法,评价其作为诊断标识基因的潜力。结果显示,羊巴贝斯虫SBP3基因无内含子,其中羊巴贝斯虫未定种新疆株/敦煌株、莫氏巴贝斯虫宁县株/河北株和莫氏巴贝斯虫临潭株/天祝株的SBP3基因全长分别为3195 bp、3351 bp和3348 bp;遗传进化分析结果显示,我国分离的6株羊巴贝斯虫可分为2个种,其中莫氏巴贝斯虫可能存在2个亚种;以SBP3为靶标分子建立的巢式PCR可特异性鉴别检测羊巴贝斯虫未定种和莫氏巴贝斯虫,且与吕氏泰勒虫、尤氏泰勒虫和绵羊无浆体无交叉反应,检测羊巴贝斯虫未定种最低检测限为5 pg,检测莫氏巴贝斯虫最低检测限为0.5 pg。本试验将为进一步探究羊巴贝斯虫SBP3蛋白功能及羊巴贝斯虫流行病学调查提供数据和技术支持。展开更多
