摘要
Toxoplasma gondii can infect almost warm-blooded animals,including humans.Limited information about T.gondii infection in wild waterfowls is available in China.A total of249 wild waterfowls were sampled between April and July 2013 from Jilin Province,and the tissue samples were collected for the detection of T.gondii by a semi-nested PCR targeting the B1 gene.The overall prevalence of T.gondii in the wild waterfowls was 7.2%(18/249,95%confidence interval[CI]4.0-10.4),with the highest prevalence(22.0%,95%CI 10.5-33.5)in Anas formosa,followed by Anas platyrhynchos(20.0%,95%CI 6.0-44.0),Falcated teal(12.5%,95%CI 0.0-35.4),and Fulica atra(4.0%,95%CI 0.0-11.7).Of 18 positive samples,only 2 samples(Tg Wfjl1 and Tg Wfjl2)were genotyped completely,and one genotype,namely Toxo DB#9,was revealed.The result of this survey has implications for better understanding of the genetic diversity of T.gondii in China.This is the first report of prevalence and genotypic characterization of T.gondii in wild waterfowls in northeastern China.
