Diversity and host specificity of Mammomonogamus in domestic and free-living animals

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Syngamid nematodes of the genus Mammomonogamus parasitize the respiratory ways of felid carnivores, ungulates, elephants and primates including humans in mainly tropical regions of the world. The level of host specificity of the genus is unclear. Some species are described as being host specific (e.g. M. okapiae and M. ierei) whereas other species such as M. laryngeus or M. loxodontis are able to infect phylogenetically distant hosts such as ruminants and humans or elephants and gorillas, respectively. Until recently the DNA of Mammomonogamus has never been analyzed. We isolated and amplified DNA of Mammomonogamus from (i) eggs isolated from feces of western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) and African forest buffaloes (Syncerus caffer nanus) from different sites in Africa and (ii) adult helminths found in domestic cats and both domestic and wild ruminants in the Caribbean, South America and Northern Mariana Islands. Phylogenetic analysis of fragments of 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 showed forming of clades based on geographic distribution and host species. It appears that Mammomonogamus is shared by syntopically living elephants and gorillas, however buffaloes are infected by different species.
