Abstract: Objective To understand the prevalence of rodent-borne pathogens in the ports of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Methods The small mammals were captured by mouse cages in eight ports in Guangxi. The small mammals lung, liver and kidney specimens were obtained by dissection in laboratory. Total RNA was extracted from lung specimens, and Hantavirus nucleotide acid was amplified by RT-PCR. DNA was extracted from liver and kidney specimens. Rickettsia, Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella and Leptospira interrogans nucleotide acid were amplified by PCR, respectively. Results A total of 86 small mammals including Rattus tanezumi, R. norvegicus, and Suncus murinus were captured. The positive rate of Hantavirus, Bartonella, and Leptospira interrogans nucleotide acid were 3.5%(3/86), 2.3%(2/86), and 35.3%(6/17); No Rickettsia and B. burgdorferi spirochetes were detected in this study. Conclusion Hantavirus, Bartonella, and Leptospira interrogans might be carried by small mammals in the regions of Guangxi ports. It is necessary to strengthen rodent-borne diseases surveillance in the ports of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
