The importance of wild gecko as a source of human Salmonella infection

A total of 201 wild geckos from the region of Mekong Delta, Vietnam were collected to determine the viable number and survival period of Salmonella in their feces. Of the 101 samples examined, 24 (23.8%) were Salmonella positive. These 24 geckos excreted Salmonella in their feces in a range of 1 to...

description A total of 201 wild geckos from the region of Mekong Delta, Vietnam were collected to determine the viable number and survival period of Salmonella in their feces. Of the 101 samples examined, 24 (23.8%) were Salmonella positive. These 24 geckos excreted Salmonella in their feces in a range of 1 to 8.6 log CFU/g with a mean of 4.5 ± 3.2 log CFU/g. Among the Salmonella serovars, Salmonella Weltevreden was the most predominant serovar (37.5%). Moreover, Salmonella could survive for 6 weeks in gecko feces at room temperature in Vietnam. These results indicate that the wild gecko seems to play an important role as a reservoir for Salmonella and a source of Salmonella infection in humans in Southeast Asian countries.
