ABSTRACT
The present study provides the first report on the molecular epidemiological data regarding infection by hemoplasma and piroplasma species in wild Rattus edwardsi, from China. In the current study, blood samples were investigated from 32 wild Rattus edwardsi from Hunan (23) and Guangxi (9) provinces, China. The prevalence of hemoplasma and piroplasma was 65.63% (21/32) and 6.25% (2/32), respectively. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that hemoplasmas (HQ183731, HQ183732) derived from wild Rattus edwardsi in China, can be grouped into a solitary clade closely related to H. muris (HMU82963) and M. haemomuris (AB758435). In addition, it was shown that piroplasmas from this study have very close genetic distance to other unidentified piroplasma species isolated from China (AB242140) and Japan (AB188086). The results suggested that hemoplasmas isolated in this study should be represented as a new genotype. Piroplasmas on the other hand needs more sequenced samples in its life-cycle and evidence to check its taxonomic status. These data may have important implications for researching on the epidemiology and population biology as well as for studying the taxonomy status of hemoplasmas and piroplasmids of wild rodents.
