Genetic, host and environmental factors associated with a high prevalence of Anaplasma marginale
چکیده انگلیسی
Anaplasma marginale is the most prevalent vector-borne pathogen in the livestock industry in Colombia, causing economic losses of approximately USD 4.2 million per year. The present study reports the seasonal transmission patterns, genetic diversity and phylogeographic traits of A. marginale strains in cattle and buffaloes from Colombian livestock areas. A three-point longitudinal survey was designed to evaluate the above characteristics of farms in the Caribbean and Orinoquía regions. The A. marginale prevalence was evaluated in 1432 cattle blood samples, 152 buffalo blood samples and the hemolymph of 439 ticks using semi-nested PCR (sn-PCR) targeting the msp5 gene. The molecular prevalence in cattle and buffaloes was 54.8% and 13.1%, respectively, with higher values during the wet and late wet seasons. Factors such as age and production system were significantly associated with the infection. Rhipicephalus microplus was the only carrier of A. marginale DNA, with an infection rate of 17.2%. On the other hand, the tandem repeat and microsatellite analyses of the msp1α gene showed high genetic diversity and new tandem repeats that suggested strain adaptation to different transmission modes. Phylogeographic analysis using the msp4 gene showed a relationship between Colombian isolates and Mexican, Brazilian, Venezuelan, European and Asian isolates, as well as two worldwide haplogroups that were associated with the geographical origin of each isolate. In conclusion, this study shows that A. marginale occurs under enzootic stability in both hosts, with a high prevalence of infection during wet months and in animals dedicated to beef production. The genetic variability analyses suggest that a high strain diversity is associated with multiple selective pressures in the study area, while phylogeographic traits suggest a high genetic similarity between Mexican and South American strains.
