Zoonotic Abbreviata caucasica in Wild Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) from Senegal

Résumé

Abbreviata caucasica(syn.Physaloptera mordens) has been reported in human and various non-human primates including great apes. The identification of this nematode is seldom performed and relies on egg characterization at the coproscopy, in the absence of any molecular tool. Following the recovery of two adult females ofA. caucasicafrom the feces of wild Senegalese chimpanzees, morphometric characteristics were reported and new data on the width of the esophagus (0.268-0.287 mm) and on the cuticle structure (0.70-0.122 mm) were provided. The molecular characterization of a set of mitochondrial (cox1, 16S rRNA, 12S rRNA) and nuclear (18S rRNA and ITS2) partial genes was performed. Our phylogenetic analysis indicates for the first time thatA. caucasicais monophyletic withPhysalopteraspecies. A novel molecular tool was developed for the routine diagnosis ofA. caucasicaand the surveillance of Nematoda infestations. AnA. caucasica-specific qPCR targeting the 12S gene was assessed. The assay was able to detect up to 1.13 x 10(-3)eggs/g of fecal matter irrespective of its consistency, with an efficiency of 101.8% and a perfect adjustment (R-2= 0.99). The infection rate byA. caucasicain the chimpanzee fecal samples was 52.08%. Only 6.19% of the environmental samples were positive for nematode DNA and any forA. caucasica. Our findings indicate the need for further studies to clarify the epidemiology, circulation, life cycle, and possible pathological effects of this infestation using the molecular tool herein developed.
