Abstract
PREVALENCE AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF YERSINIA SPECIES ISOLATED FROM DOGS AND CATS IN BAGHDAD CITY, IRAQ
Mohammed D. M. Saeed*, Zuhair Abdulkareem Dawah and Sarmad Mohammed Hashim
ABSTRACT
Domestic animals, such as cats and dogs, can spread diseases affecting humans, particularly young children. They possess zoonotic pathogens. in their gastrointestinal tracts and can infect their owners. Yersinia bacteria are regarded as prevalent pathogens responsible for illness in youngsters. This study aims to determine the infection prevalence rate in clinically sick dogs and cats in Baghdad, Iraq. Seventy-five rectal specimens from canines and felines were examined using a conventional PCR approach with primers for the detection of Yersinia species. Eleven specimens (seven felines and four canines) tested positive for Yersinia. The prevalence rate of Yersinia was 17% in felines and 11% in canines. The findings indicate that Yersinia was present in 11–17% of symptomatic companion animals exhibiting diarrhoea. Contaminated products from animals could be the principal root of disease. These findings may aid in the formulation of control and preventative strategies.
