研究要点
囊型包虫病是一种由细粒棘球绦虫引起的被忽视的热带疾病,具有"全健康"重要性。
该病对巴基斯坦经济造成重大影响,畜牧业是该国农业的重要支柱。
鉴于牛群具有重大社会经济和人畜共患病意义,我们调查了巴基斯坦旁遮普省三个既往研究较少的地区(纳罗瓦尔、谢胡普拉和锡亚尔科特)的牲畜包虫病流行率。
我们共筛查了1168头屠宰牛是否存在包虫囊肿,对采集的包虫囊肿进行了显微镜检查、组织病理学和PCR检测。
总体患病率为7.7%(n=1168),纳罗瓦尔地区(9.6%)显著高于谢胡普拉(7.6%)和锡亚尔科特(5.7%)。
最年长的牛群(>5岁)患病率(11.8%)显著高于年轻牛只(3-5岁为6.8%,1-3岁为4%)。
雌性牛患病率(9.1%)显著高于雄性(4.9%)。
肺部囊肿发生率(71.4%)显著高于肝脏(28.5%),且肺部可育囊肿比例(56.9%)显著高于肝脏(50%)。
对一个囊肿进行PCR测序确认其物种为细粒棘球绦虫,系统发育分析显示我们的ND1序列与G1-G3谱系聚类。
我们发现包虫囊肿会导致周围宿主组织发生组织病理学改变,包括萎缩、纤维化、细胞变性和白细胞浸润。
广义线性模型显示,屠宰场附近(特别是城乡结合部)饲养的动物(牛和犬)会显著增加牛群感染囊型包虫病的风险。
基于这些发现,我们建议开展公共卫生宣传以提高对人畜共患感染的认识。
