Avian reservoirs and zoonotic potential of the emerging human pathogen Helicobacter canadensis.
A polyphasic identification approach was used to investigate the taxonomic position of Campylobacter-like isolates recovered from barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) and Canada geese (Branta candensis). Seven strains were selected from a collection of 21 isolates and analyzed by extensive phenotypic testing; four strains were characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The results clearly i...
متن کاملExotic Small Mammals as Potential Reservoirs of Zoonotic Bartonella spp.
To evaluate the risk for emerging human infections caused by zoonotic Bartonella spp. from exotic small mammals, we investigated the prevalence of Bartonella spp. in 546 small mammals (28 species) that had been imported into Japan as pets from Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle and Near East. We obtained 407 Bartonella isolates and characterized them by molecular phylogenetic analysis ...
متن کاملAvian Reservoirs of the Agent of Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis?
To the Editor: Human granulo-cytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), first described in 1994 (1), is the second-most common tick-borne disease in the United States; Lyme disease is the most prevalent. Both diseases are transmitted by blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis Say) that are abundant in southern New York state (2). Factors that influence the risk for infection, particularly the role of wildlife in t...
متن کاملBaboons as potential reservoirs of zoonotic gastrointestinal parasite infections at Yankari National Park, Nigeria.
BACKGROUND Zoonoses pose a risk to public health. OBJECTIVE To carry out the investigation of the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of baboons, Papio anubis, frequenting the Wikki base Camp in Yankari National Park, Nigeria. METHOD Formol-ether concentration technique was used to isolate parasite eggs and cysts from faecal samples. RESULTS Parasites recovered were Ascaris lumbricoi...
متن کاملComparison of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli strains from human and avian sources reveals a mixed subset representing potential zoonotic pathogens.
Since extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains from human and avian hosts encounter similar challenges in establishing infection in extraintestinal locations, they may share similar contents of virulence genes and capacities to cause disease. In the present study, 1,074 ExPEC isolates were classified by phylogenetic group and possession of 67 other traits, including virulence...
