Draft Genome Sequence of a Mycobacterium chelonae subsp. bovis Strain Isolated from a Baikal Seal (Pusa sibirica) in Captivity.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium chelonae is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in various animals, including humans. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of M. chelonae subsp. bovis strain NJB1701, which was isolated from a Baikal seal (Pusa sibirica) in captivity in Japan.

Chromosome-Length Assembly of the Baikal Seal (Pusa sibirica) Genome Reveals a Historically Large Population Prior to Isolation in Lake Baikal.

Project description:Pusa sibirica, the Baikal seal, is the only extant, exclusively freshwater, pinniped species. The pending issue is, how and when they reached their current habitat-the rift lake Baikal, more than three thousand kilometers away from the Arctic Ocean. To explore the demographic history and genetic diversity of this species, we generated a de novo chromosome-length assembly, and compared it with three closely related marine pinniped species. Multiple whole genome alignment of the four species compared with their karyotypes showed high conservation of chromosomal features, except for three large inversions on chromosome VI. We found the mean heterozygosity of the studied Baikal seal individuals was relatively low (0.61 SNPs/kbp), but comparable to other analyzed pinniped samples. Demographic reconstruction of seals revealed differing trajectories, yet remarkable variations in Ne occurred during approximately the same time periods. The Baikal seal showed a significantly more severe decline relative to other species. This could be due to the difference in environmental conditions encountered by the earlier populations of Baikal seals, as ice sheets changed during glacial-interglacial cycles. We connect this period to the time of migration to Lake Baikal, which occurred ~3-0.3 Mya, after which the population stabilized, indicating balanced habitat conditions.

Blood Morphology and Hematology of Adult Baikal Seals (Pusa sibirica Gmelin, 1788) Under Professional Care.

Project description:Studying the blood cell morphology of marine mammals provides an opportunity to elucidate the physiological mechanisms of adaptive changes associated with the aquatic habitat that occur at the cellular level, as well as adaptations to changing environmental conditions and under various physiological and pathological processes. The Baikal seal [Pusa sibirica (family Phocidae)] is endemic to the freshwater Lake Baikal, but comprehensive hematology data are not available. We studied the morphological features of blood cells of twelve clinically normal, adult Baikal seals (n = 6 males, n = 6 females) from two oceanariums under professional care for eight years. The morphology of mature and immature erythrocytes and inclusions are described. The blood of Baikal seals is characterized by the presence of erythrocytes with a size of 8.2 ± 0.6 µm; Howell-Jolly bodies were rarely observed, the number of reticulocytes ranged from 4.1 to 93.1 × 109/L, and nucleated erythrocytes were absent. The morphological features of neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and platelets were described. Inter-individual and sex differences in the counts of basophils, platelets, red blood cells, and levels of hemoglobin, the mean corpuscular volume, and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were statistically observed. The results could be useful for Baikal seal veterinary care, immune response research, and comparative studies with other pinnipeds.

Extensive environmental survey of free-living amoebae and their elusive association with Mycobacterium bovis or Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis.

Project description:Free-living amoebae (FLA) are described as environmental reservoirs for some bacteria able to resist their phagocytosis. In the environment, the fate of Mycobacterium bovis (Mbo) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) responsible for bovine tuberculosis and paratuberculosis, respectively, remains poorly understood and is considered potentially problematic in the eradication and control of these diseases. We hypothesize that FLA may play a role in the persistence of Mbo and Map in the environment. In this study, 90 samples were collected from herds affected by one or both diseases to investigate the diversity of amoeba and their associated bacteria. Metabarcoding analyses revealed that Acanthamoeba, Copromyxa, Naegleria, and Vermamoeba were the most represented genera of FLA, with Pseudomonadota being the bacteria most commonly found associated with FLA. Although no Mbo and Map DNA were identified by sequencing, traces were detected by ddPCR (digital droplet PCR), specifically targeting these bacteria. In conclusion, we described a wide diversity of FLA and associated bacteria in this environment. It also suggests that Map and Mbo could be associated, even weakly, with FLA in the environment. However, this needs to be confirmed by detecting a highest amount of DNA and, if possible, cultivable Map and/or Mbo associated with these environmental FLA.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Mycobacterium bovis Strains Isolated from Beef Cattle in Paraguay.

Project description:This work reports the draft genome sequences of the Mycobacterium bovis strains M1009 and M1010, isolated from the lymph nodes of two infected cows on a beef farm in Paraguay. Comparative genomics between these strains and other regional strains may provide more insights regarding M. bovis epidemiology in South America.
