摘要:

目的 报告2019年某实验猴养殖场中食蟹猴群暴发犬瘟热病毒的诊断情况。 方法 针对2019年底中国华南地区某实验猴养殖场送检的21只患病食蟹猴(出现面部红疹、皮屑、流鼻涕和腹泻等症状)的血清、皮肤红疹拭子和1只病死猴的抗凝全血、肝、肺、皮肤组织,共46份样品,采用实时荧光定量PCR法检测犬瘟热病毒基因片段,采用免疫组织化学染色法检测肺组织中犬瘟热病毒核蛋白表达。将病死猴的皮肤组织研磨过筛,取滤液接种于单层MDCK细胞系中培养分离病毒,将分离的病毒进行全基因组测序鉴定,采用Clustal Omega工具对亚洲不同犬瘟热病毒分离株进行比对和同源性分析,构建遗传发育树,并对其进行遗传进化分析。 结果 经临床追溯,患病的食蟹猴出现了与麻疹病毒感染食蟹猴类似的症状,剖检病死猴可见肺部有红色病变,大肠黏膜有明显出血。实时荧光定量PCR检测患病猴血清、皮肤红疹拭子及病死猴各组织样本中的犬瘟热病毒核酸结果均呈阳性,由标准曲线公式计算出皮肤组织中的病毒载量最高;免疫组织化学染色病死猴的肺组织显示犬瘟热病毒核蛋白聚集在肺泡上皮细胞、肺支气管和细支气管处;从病死猴皮肤组织中分离出1株犬瘟热病毒株,遗传进化分析表明其与越南犬中发现的亚洲1型CDV/dog/HCM/33/140816株亲缘关系最近,基因相似度达到98.86%。 结论 综合临床症状、核酸检测、病毒蛋白免疫组织化学法及全基因组测序分析结果,诊断该猴场的食蟹猴感染了犬瘟热病毒,建议将犬瘟热病毒纳为饲养猴群的监测项目之一。本研究还为进一步分析犬瘟热病毒的分子生物学特性提供了基础。

Abstract:

Objective To report the diagnosis of a canine distemper virus outbreak among a colony of cynomolgus monkeys at an experimental monkey farm in 2019. Methods A total of 46 samples were collected from 21 diseased cynomolgus monkeys (exhibiting symptoms such as facial rash, skin scurf, runny nose, and diarrhea) and from one deceased monkey at an experimental monkey breeding farm in South China in late 2019, including serum, skin rash swabs, and anticoagulated whole blood, liver, lung, and skin tissues were submitted for testing. All submitted samples were tested for canine distemper virus gene fragments using real-time quantitative PCR, while immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect canine distemper virus nucleoprotein in lung tissues. The skin tissue of the deceased monkey was ground and sieved. The filtrate was inoculated into a monolayer MDCK cell line for virus isolation. Then, whole-genome sequencing was performed to identify the isolated virus. The Clustal Omega tool was used to align and analyze the homology of different Asian canine distemper virus isolates. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, followed by genetic evolutionary analysis. Results Clinical retrospective analysis revealed that the diseased cynomolgus monkeys exhibited symptoms similar to those observed in cynomolgus monkeys infected with measles virus. Necropsy findings showed red lesions in the lungs and significant hemorrhage in the colonic mucosa. Real-time quantitative PCR detected canine distemper virus nucleic acid in the serum, skin rash swabs of the infected monkeys, and various tissue samples of the deceased monkey, all of which tested positive. Calculation based on the standard curve formula indicated the viral load was highest in the skin tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of the deceased monkey's lung tissue demonstrated aggregation of CDV nucleoprotein in alveolar epithelial cells, bronchi, and bronchioles. A CDV strain was isolated from the skin tissue of the deceased monkey. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this strain shares the closest relationship (98.86%) with the Asian-1 type canine distemper virus strain CDV/dog/HCM/33/140816, previously identified in dogs in Vietnam. Conclusion Based on comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, nucleic acid detection, viral protein immunohistochemistry, and whole-genome sequencing results, the diagnosis confirms that the cynomolgus monkeys in this facility are infected with canine distemper virus. It is recommended to include canine distemper virus as a routine surveillance target in captive monkey populations. Additionally, this study provides a foundation for further research on the molecular biological characteristics of canine distemper virus.
