海报摘要

Parasitic infestation fasciolosis affect the health of dairy animals as well as decrease the milk production. It has been hypothesized that there is gut microbial dysbiosis in fasciolosis. For a comparative analysis, a total of forty samples were collected (n = 20) from fasciolosis patients and (n = 20) from healthy ones. Fecal bacterial DNA was extracted and amplified V3+V4 region of 16S rRNA gene by using the primers. High through-put sequencing was performed for the characterization of gut microbiota. Compared to healthy animals, regarding the genera, Bifidobacterium and Shigella were significantly higher while Prevotella_9 and Dialister in were sufficiently low. Moreover, the species analysis showed a significantly high abundance of Prevotella copri and Escherichia coli in Fasciolosis group. The results of current study are aligned with proposed hypothesis of gut bacterial dysbiosis in fasciolois. The findings of the current study provided a basic foundation to understand gut microbiota in treatment of fasciolosis, disease pathway, mechanism and probiotic development
