We identified Prototheca spp. microalga in ocular samples of a cat in Spain with nontreatable endogenous endophthalmitis. Within 2 years, the eye lesions progressively worsened and neurologic signs appeared, suggesting systemic spread of the infection. On multitarget sequence analysis, the feline pathogen could not be assigned to any known Prototheca species.

西班牙 Birman Cat 的 Prototheca 微藻引起的内源性眼内炎

我们在西班牙一只患有无法治疗的内源性眼内炎的猫的眼部样本中鉴定了 Prototheca spp. 微藻。在 2 年内，眼部病变进行性恶化并出现神经系统体征，表明感染的全身性扩散。在多靶点序列分析中，猫科动物病原体无法分配给任何已知的 Prototheca 物种。
