Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project shows that four bat species in Japan harbor seven novel Bartonella species and that bat flies, genus Nycteribia,bat fleas(Ischnopsyllus needhami),and bat mites (Spinturnix myoti) and N. pygmaea are possible vectors of Bartonella in Miniopterus, Eptesicus, and Myotis bats, respectively. Furthermore,whole-genome sequences revealed that seven Bartonella strains from the bats examined harbored eight or seven virulence factors similar to those of B. henselae,suggesting that bat strains infect persistently their hosts by a similar mechanism of B. henselae.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は,わが国の4種のコウモリには7種の異なる系統のBartonella属菌が高率に分布していること,各種コウモリにおいてBartonellaを媒介するベクターを明らかにするとともに,本菌の全ゲノム解析により,宿主体内で長期間維持される機序を明らかにした。本研究はコウモリが保有するBartonellaに関する我が国で初めての研究であり,その学術的意義は大きい。さらに,本研究を通じてコウモリにおけるBartonellaの生活環の一端が明らかにされたことは重要な新所見であり,今後のコウモリが関わるバルトネラ症の疫学解明に多大な影響を与えるものと考えられる。
