目的 诊断疑似羊狂犬病病例并分析其病原分子N基因遗传进化关系.方法 采集新疆阿勒泰地区疑似狂犬病羊脑组织,以狂犬病病毒特异性目的基因(N基因)RT-PCR扩增和序列测定进行病毒鉴定;以DNAStar-Lasergene.v7.1软件拼接测定序列,应用BLAST软件分析N基因的遗传进化关系.结果 显示本研究鉴定的狂犬病毒阳性并获得了病毒全基因序列,建立了其N基因的遗传进化关系树,确定疑似的羊狂犬病病毒与狂犬病病毒基因I型俄罗斯C群的遗传关系较近.结论 应用RT-PCR方法对羊源狂犬病进行实验室诊断,获得该病原全基因序列,明确了新疆狂犬病病原和流行地域分布,为羊狂犬病毒分子流行病学研究奠定基础.
To diagnose suspected sheep rabies case and analyze molecular epidemiological characteristics of the pathogen,brain tissues of sheep with clinical symptom from a farm in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,China were used.Rabies virus (RV) in brain tissue was confirmed by specific nucleoprotein gene (N) RT-PCR amplification.The full-length gene sequence of RV from sheep was sequenced and assembled by DNAStar Lasergene.V7.1 based on N gene sequence of rabies virus,which was analyzed with phylogenetic tree.Results showed that the sheep disease case was caused by RV.And the full-length sequence of RV from sheep in Xinjiang was obtained.It was suggested that the RV had a closer genetic relationship with the genotype I of Russia Group C by phylogenetic tree analysis.This study provided a basis for further study toward molecular epidemiology of sheep RV in China in the future.
