Project description:The role of domestic and peridomestic animals in vector-borne diseases is very important as they share a common environment with people having the potential to extend the network of pathogen transmission to humans. The most significant vector-borne infectious diseases that are shared by man, domestic and peridomestic animals are leishmaniosis, borreliosis, bartonellosis, ehrlichiosis, rickettsiosis and anaplasmosis with fleas acting as main vectors in the transmission of some of these diseases. Flea-borne diseases which are relevant in Europe include plague (caused by Yersinia pestis), murine typhus (caused by Rickettsia typhi), flea-borne spotted fever (Rickettsia felis), and cat scratch disease (Bartonella henselae). In the present study, mNGS was applied to detect and understand the composition of the microbial communities of five different species of fleas (Archaeopsylla erinacei, Ctenocephalides felis, Spilopsyllus cuniculi, Pulex irritans and Ctenocephalides canis) collected on dogs, cats and hedgehogs from Andalusia (Spain) to know the prevalence of pathogenic bacteria among synanthropic fleas. Based on our results, we could conclude that Pulicidae family encompassed those flea species with a close contact with humans and therefore more involved in the potential transmission of infectious diseases. The higher relative abundance of the Phylum Pseudomanadota was mainly due to the presence of the endosymbiont Wolbachia, as well as to notice a high relative abundance of both genera Rickettsia and Bartonella in all flea species. For the first time, we detected Babesia sp. in all species tested, especially with higher abundance in S. cuniculi collected from cats emphasizing the need for further investigation into its potential implications as vectors. Our results also demonstrate that the microbiota composition of fleas is largely influenced by the host they parasitize. Lastly, statistical analyses of microbiota allowed for the ecological separation of flea species, with individuals from these five species clustering distinctly each other.

Project description:Under the action of Trichophyton 1000 UG / ml, the colony of Trichophyton mentagrophyte was completely inhibited. The spore number and germination rate of Trichophyton mentagrophyte under the action of 100ug / ml and 10ug / ml were significantly lower than those in the control group. Under the action of Trichophyton, the mitochondria in the mycelium of Trichophyton mentagrophyte were cleaved. Under the action of trichomycin, the related genes in mitochondria decreased significantly. This showed that mitochondria were obviously damaged during trichomycin treatment. It is speculated that Trichophyton can cause mitochondrial damage and reduce the efficiency of respiratory chain, but Trichophyton can synthesize enough ATP by regulating related ATP synthase to resist the invasive effect caused by Trichophyton stimulation.

Project description:Trichophyton rubrum, an anthropophilic and cosmopolitan fungus, is the most common agent of superficial mycoses, causing rarely deep dermatophytosis in immunocompromised hosts. In this study, an infection condition of T. rubrum was modeled by adding human skin sections into a limited medium containing glucose to monitor T. rubrum gene expression patterns using cDNA microarrays on a global level. We found that exposure to human skin resulted in up-regulation of the expression levels of T. rubrum genes related to many cellular and biological processes, including transcription and translation, metabolism and secondary transport, stress response, and signaling pathways. These results provide a reference set of T. rubrum genes whose expression patterns change upon infection and reveal previously unknown genes that probably corresponding to proteins that should be considered as virulence factor candidates and potential new drug targets for T. rubrum infections.

Project description:A cDNA microarray was constructed from the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of different developmental stages, and comparative genome hybridization based on microarray procedures were carried out. Dermatophyte species are classified into three genera: Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton. To determine the relationship between these three groups comparative genome hybridization were used in our experiment. Trichophyton rubrum genmic DNA was reference DNA and labelled by Cy3 while the other dermatophytes genomic DNA were test DNA and labelled by CY5. Test and reference DNA were co-hybridized with the T. rubrum cDNA microarray and the numbers of genes shared between each species and T. rubrum were determined. Keywords: Comparative Genomic Hybridization We used a Trichophyton rubrum cDNA microarray prepared in our lab through comparative genome hybridization of genomic DNA of 21 dermatophyte strains (belonging to 20 species) to elucidate the taxonomy and evolution profiles of 20 dermatophyte species. The numbers of genes shared between each species and T. rubrum were determined. Each strain DNA hybridized for 3 times. The slides were separated into three groups base on different datasets.
