Overview
Blastocystis sp. is an important gastrointestinal parasite with global distribution, prevalent in humans, farmed animals, and wildlife. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of Blastocystis sp. in Asiatic brush-tailed porcupines ( Atherurus macrourus ), bamboo rats ( Rhizomys pruinosus ), and masked palm civets ( Paguma larvata ) in Hainan Province, China. A total of 900 fecal samples were collected from three farmed animal species including 257 porcupines, 360 rats, and 283 civets. Genomic DNA was extracted from each fecal sample and Blastocystis sp. was detected by PCR at the small subunit ribosomal RNA ( SSU rRNA) gene. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum likelihood method. Blastocystis sp. was detected in 47 (5.2%) fecal samples: 12 (4.7%) Asiatic brush-tailed porcupines, 8 (2.2%) bamboo rats, and 27 (9.5%) masked palm civets. Three known Blastocystis sp. subtypes, including ST1, ST4, ST5, and one unnamed subtype (unST), were found in one, 19, 26, and one animal, respectively. Subtypes ST4 and unST were detected in porcupines, ST4 in rats, and ST1 and ST5 in civets. Our results suggest that the three farmed animal species reported in this study could serve as reservoirs for potentially zoonotic Blastocystis sp. subtypes and transmit this parasite to humans, other farmed animals, and wildlife. Blastocystis sp. est un parasite gastro-intestinal important avec une distribution mondiale, répandu chez les humains, les animaux d’élevage et la faune. Par conséquent, cette étude visait à étudier la prévalence et la diversité génétique de Blastocystis sp. chez les athérures à longue queue ( Atherurus macrourus ), les rats des bambous ( Rhizomys pruinosus ) et les civettes masquées ( Paguma larvata ) dans la province de Hainan, en Chine. Au total, 900 échantillons fécaux ont été collectés sur ces trois espèces animales d’élevage dont 257 athérures, 360 rats et 283 civettes. L’ADN génomique a été extrait de chaque échantillon fécal et Blastocystis sp. a été détecté par PCR au niveau du gène de la petite sous-unité de l’ARN ribosomal. Un arbre phylogénétique a été construit en utilisant la méthode du maximum de vraisemblance. Blastocystis sp. a été détecté dans 47 (5,2 %) échantillons fécaux : 12 (4,7 %) athérures, 8 (2,2 %) rats et 27 (9,5 %) civettes. Trois sous-types de Blastocystis sp., dont ST1, ST4, ST5 et un sous-type sans nom (unST), ont été trouvés respectivement chez 1, 19, 26 et 1 animal. Les sous-types ST4 et unST ont été détectés chez les athérures, ST4 chez les rats et ST1 et ST5 chez les civettes. Nos résultats suggèrent que les trois espèces animales d’élevage concernées par cette étude pourraient servir de réservoirs à des sous-types potentiellement zoonotiques de Blastocystis sp. et transmettre ce parasite aux humains, à d’autres animaux d’élevage et à la faune.
