青藏高原鼠疫耶尔森菌基因型分布

目的研究青藏高原鼠疫耶尔森菌（鼠疫菌）基因组型分布特征.方法对分离到的青藏高原鼠疫菌297株,根据已经证实的22个差异区段设计引物,每株鼠疫菌的每个基因差异区段都采用PCR技术进行验证.结果在喜马拉雅旱獭鼠疫自然疫源地中,鼠疫菌基因组型有9种,分别为1、5、6、7、8、10、11、新基因组型和Ype-ancestor型,其中以5、8和10型为主,3种基因组型合计所占比例为80.6%（204/253）,而且不同地区鼠疫菌基因组型的分布也不一致.青藏高原青海田鼠鼠疫疫源地鼠疫菌基因组型全部为14型.结论青藏高原鼠疫菌基因组型分布具有明显的地理特征.根据基因组型的分布状况推测出了鼠疫菌在青藏高原的传播路径.

Study on the genotyping and microevolation of Yersinia Pestis in theQingbai-Tibet Plateau

Objective To study the distribution of genomovars and microevolution of Yersinia pestis in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Methods Primer pairs targeting the twenty-two different regions(DFRs) were designed for detecting the presence or deletion of each DFR in 297 strains isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Results 9 genomovars, i.e. Genomovar 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, new type and Ypeancestor were identified in the Marmota himalayana plague focus of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Among these genomovars,genomovar 5,8 and 10 were dominant types. The total rate of the three genomovars was 80.6% (204/253) and the genomovars in different regions were different. All of 44 strains of Y. pestis in the Microtus fuscus plague focus of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau belonged to genomovar 14. Conclusion The distribution of genomovars of Y. pestis in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau had remarkable characteristics geographically. Based on the distribution of genomovars of Y. pestis, the routes of transmission and microevolution of Y. pestis were proposed.
