Abstract Background Eurasian lynx (Lynx Lynx ) is widely distributed in various habitats Asia and Europe, it may harbor multiple pathogens. Currently, the information on protozoan infection scarce. In this study, we performed nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) analysis to detect intestinal three dead lynxes, northwestern China. Methods Three an adult female (#1), male (#2), a cub (#3), were sampled West Junggar Mountain, region of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The intestine samples analyzed using nPCR. We used primers targeting cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene ( COI for detection Sarcocystis Eimeria species those small 18S ribosomal RNA rRNA Cystoisospora species. nPCR-positive products sequenced, aligned, phylogenetically analyzed. Results protozoa, albifronsi , alpacae felis found lynxes. sample #2 was co-infected with S . E addition, only #3. Conclusions To best our knowledge, detected first time. lynx. These findings extend knowledge geographical distribution host range protozoa.

Cryptosporidium , a ubiquitous intracellular protozoan parasite, is capable of causing zoonotic infections in humans and domestic wild animals. The primary aim this review to summarize the infection prevalence spp. Nepal. Based on all available papers published until November 2022, we have also summarized pattern diagnostic methods, epidemiological factors, prevalence, its genotypes distributed humans, animals environmental samples (mainly water). Among overall cryptosporidiosis was 7.6% (1328/17527), which highest identified children (9.0%; 1225/13545), followed by HIV patients (4.6%; 51/1107) adults (1.8%; 52/2875). were more infected (23.2%; 252/1088) than (18.2%; 63/347) water (32.6%; 29/89) remained major source contamination oocysts. Molecular studies regarding transmission Nepal are very few. However, molecular techniques confirmed (C.) parvum isolates from as genotype Ia2, C. ryanae zebu cattle buffalo, ubiquitum swamp deer PCR-RFLP sequence analysis SSU rRNA gene. Extensive at level warranted find out genomic variants human other vertebrates, both wild, elucidate potential future.
