鼠三毛滴虫新疆灰仓鼠分离株形态学观察及其16S rRNA基因分析

目的 对从新疆实验动物研究中心饲养的封闭群灰仓鼠体内分离到的1株鞭毛虫进行形态学鉴定及基因鉴定。方法 取灰仓鼠回盲部内容物进行直接涂片和常规姬姆萨染色后镜检观察，提取虫体总DNA，PCR扩增该鞭毛虫的16S rRNA基因，测序后与国外已报道的鞭毛虫进行核酸同源性分析，并应用MEGA5.22软件绘制系统发育进化树。结果 形态学观察表明分离到的鞭毛虫为鼠三毛滴虫。测序后核酸同源性分析表明鼠三毛滴虫新疆灰仓鼠分离株16S rRNA序列与国外已报道的三毛滴虫高度同源。系统发育进化树表明鼠三毛滴虫新疆灰仓鼠分离株序列与已报道的鼠三毛滴虫16S rRNA（序列号AY886846.1） 位于同一进化分支，与其他相关三毛滴虫亲缘关系较远。结论 形态学鉴定和16 S rRNA基因分析表明，此次从新疆实验动物研究中心饲养的封闭群灰仓鼠体内分离到的鞭毛虫为鼠三毛滴虫。

Morphological observation of Tritrichomonas muris isolated from Xinjiang Cricetulus migratorius and analysis of its 16S rRNA gene

Objective To conduct morphological observation and gene identification of the strain of flagellate isolated from Cricetulus migratorius in the Xinjiang Research Center for Experimental Animals. Methods The ileocecal contents of C. migratorius were microscopically examined on direct smear with Wright-Giemsa staining, and the total RNA isolated from Xinjiang C. migratorius was extracted and 16S rRNA was amplified by PCR, and then sequenced. Furthermore the homology was compared and the phylogenetic tree was developed using MEGA5.22 software. Results Morphological observation indicated that the isolated flagellate was Tritrichomonas muris. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the Xinjiang C. migratorius isolate shared highly homology with that of other Tritrichomonas. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that the 16S rRNA gene of Xinjiang C. migratorius isolate was classified into a subgroup with T. muris 16S rRNA (U85966.1), but was relatively distant relative from other related tritrichomonas. Conclusions The flagellate isolated from Xinjiang C. migratorius is identified to be T. muris by both morphological observation and 16S rRNA gene analysis.
