Abstract
During the past two decades, it has been revealed by culture-independent approaches that individual bodies of normal animals are actually inhabited by subcellular viral entities and membrane-enclosed microentities, prokaryotic bacterial cells and unicellular eukaryotes such as fungi and protists. And however, the relationship between animals including human beings and their environmental microentities or microorganisms reflected in such phenomenon cannot be accounted for by our traditional pathogenic recognition in human medicine and veterinary medicine. It's well known that as one of humans' environmental macroorganisms, some nonhuman animal species were initially concerned for their practical values in nutrition, medicine and economy, and have been studied within the scope of traditional macro-biology for a long time and that our primary interest on the microorganisms of nonhuman animals was for their potential risk of zoonotic transmission of pathogenetic bacteria and viruses from animals to humans. In recent novel evolution theories, the relationship between animals and their environments has been deciphered to be the interaction between animals and their environmental evolutionary entities at the same and/or different evolutionary levels [1-3]; and evolutionary entities of the lower evolutionary levels are hypothesized to be the evolutionary background entities of entities at the higher evolutionary levels [1,2]. As more and more pathogenic microorganisms were identified in diseases of nonhuman animals, to elucidate the normal ecological and evolutiological relationships between microorganisms and nonhuman macroorganisms is becoming the first priority for developing our existing theoretical systems of modern human medicine and veterinary medicine. In this paper, the author tries to briefly review the evolutionary background entities at the cellular and subcellular levels for several selected nonhuman vertebrate animal species.
