Abstract:
To monitor and analyze Cricetulus migratorius fungal diversity ,60 adult Cricetulus migratorius brought from Xinjiang region of China were dissected after being euthanized and the specimens were collected .Fungal diversity research was carried out by TaqMan MGB probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR ,the ribosome cloning sequencing ,and fungal cul-ture identification techniques .The 60 fungal isolates were characterized from Cricetulus migratorius ,including Candida albi-cans ,Trichosporonasahii ,Aspergillus fumigatus ,Aspergillusniger ,Aspergillussydowii ,Aspergillus japonicus ,Asper-gillus ustus ,Aspergillus versicolor ,Penicillium chrysogenum ,Paecilomyces variotii ,Penicillium aurantiogriseum ,Neuros-pora sitophila ,Neurospora intermedia ,and Cladosporium cladosporioides .Many of them associated with grey hamster as zoonotic pathogens .The results showed that the most dominant fungal group was Aspergillus ,and Penicillium followed by it . These fungi were susceptible to nystatin ,clotrimazole and voriconazole .It’s indicated that application of TaqMan MGB probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR ,the ribosome cloning sequencing ,and fungal culture identification techniques could ef-fectively analyze Cricetulus migratorius .The results could provide a scientific basis for Cricetulus migratorius microbiological monitoring and quality standard establishment in China .Overall ,the findings of the present study constitute ,to the authors’ knowledge ,the first extensive report on the diversity of fungal flora associated with Cricetulus migratorius .
