Outline of Final Research Achievements

We collected blood from cattle, water buffaloes, goats, and village chickens in Myanmar to investigate haemosporidian parasites. Blood DNA was subjected to identification of parasite species and determination of genetic variation of the parasites for the first time. As a result, it was found that parasites are widely distributed in Myanmar. We also found that Myanmar parasite strains are very close to those reported in neighboring countries Thailand, Malaysia, and China. As these parasites are transmitted by ticks and blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes and black flies, further research and countermeasures, including investigation of vectors, are necessary.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ミャンマーは動物や植物資源がとても豊かな国です。また、インド亜大陸と東アジアを結ぶ地理的にも重要な地域です。獣医学的視野にたって、最新の技術を使って家畜や家禽の寄生虫を調査することは、ミャンマーにおける家畜の健康管理、畜産の振興そして食の安全を考えるうえでとても有意義なことでした。この調査研究を通して、ミャンマー獣医科学大学や畜産獣医局との研究交流を継続することができました。ミャンマー側研究者の育成や日本側若手研究者の国際経験を積むことにも貢献することができました。
