Dourine, caused by infection with Trypanosoma equiperdum, is one of the trypanosomiasis in equids. The clinical course of dourine is long-term, ranging from 1–2 months to several years. Since the pathogenesis of dourine has not yet been elucidated, experimental studies using mouse infection models are needed. Although mice are not susceptible to most T. equiperdum strains, some strains can infect mice. Even in such strains, infected mice develop rapidly transient parasitemia and die within 2–8 days. Therefore, mice experimentally infected with these T. equiperdum strains are not suitable for mouse infection models to analysis the pathogenesis of dourine. A sequential method of isolating parasites from dourine-affected horses and adapting them to in vitro cultures using soft agarose media was recently developed. Various T. equiperdum strains adapted to in vitro conditions have been established using this technique. We used one of these strains, the T. equiperdum IVM-t2 strain. In the present study, T. equiperdum IVM-t2 strain inoculated mice developed periodic parasitemia during the experimental period of 60 days. Histopathologically, vaginitis and dermatitis were observed. These findings were comparable to those of dourine-affected horses. Therefore, mice infected with T. equiperdum IVM-t2 strain may be a valuable tool for pathological, immunological, and parasitological in vivo research, and will contribute to investigations on the mechanisms underlying the disease process and the host-parasite relationship. 相似文献

Digital dermatitis (DD) is a major infectious foot disease of cattle worldwide. Some DD stages are associated with lameness, and the disease has significant economic and animal welfare consequences. The pathogenesis of the disease is not yet fully understood, but Treponema spp. have been associated consistently with clinical cases. Isolation of these fastidious bacteria is difficult and cumbersome. We describe an improved method enabling the culturing of the 3 Treponema spp. (T. pedis, T. phagedenis, and T. medium) from bovine foot specimens derived from DD lesions, using a combination of membrane filtering and subsequent growth on selective agar media. The entire procedure from sampling to verification of individual Treponema spp. takes up to 24 d. In addition, we established a MALDI-TOF MS–based identification method to be applied for confirmation of the different Treponema spp. This scheme provides an unambiguous, simple, and straightforward identification procedure for DD-associated Treponema spp. 相似文献

Papillomatous digital dermatitis (PDD) is a growing cause of lameness of dairy cattle worldwide. Farms with PDD-afflicted cows experience economic loss due to treatment costs, decreased milk production, lower reproductive efficiency and premature culling. Cows exhibit both humoral and cellular immune responses to PDD-associated spirochetes. This study was undertaken to further characterize the bovine humoral response to PDD-associated spirochetes. Forty-seven sera samples collected from cattle (Field cattle) on three different dairy operations in Iowa were analyzed. In addition, sera were obtained from six young steers (Test cattle) that received a mixed inoculum of four previously isolated Treponema phagedenis-like spirochetes (1A, 3A, 4A and 5B) on two separate occasions. Relative levels of total IgG, IgG1, IgG2 and IgM reactive to each individual spirochete were determined. Field cattle had a higher mean antibody response to 5B compared to the other isolates and T. phagedenis. Test cattle reacted most strongly with 4A following initial exposure, shifting to a greater reactivity with 5B and a reactivity profile similar to field cattle following secondary exposure. No measurable IgM was detected. IgG1 was produced predominately in all cattle. Low to moderate levels of total IgG reactivity to T. phagedenis occurred with sera from all cattle. 相似文献

Foodborne salmonellosis is one of the most important bacterial zoonotic diseases worldwide. Salmonella Typhimurium is the serovar most frequently isolated from persistently infected slaughter pigs in Europe. Salmonella Typhimurium pathogenesis is host species specific. In addition, differences in in vitro behaviour of Salmonella Typhimurium strains have also been described, which may be reflected by a different course of infection within a host species. We compared the course of a Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs, using two Salmonella Typhimurium strains that were able to interfere with MHC II expression on porcine macrophages to a different extent in vitro. After experimental inoculation, blood and faecal samples from all pigs were collected at regular time points. At 40 days post inoculation (pi), animals were euthanized and tissue samples were bacteriologically analysed. The proportion of serologically positive piglets at 33 days pi was significantly higher in pigs that were inoculated with the strain that did not downregulate MHC II expression in vitro. Furthermore, this strain was less frequently shed and isolated in lower numbers from tonsils and ileocaecal lymph nodes than the strain that was able to markedly downregulate MHC II expression in vitro. We thus found that the delayed onset of seroconversion after oral inoculation of piglets with a particular Salmonella Typhimurium strain coincided with higher faecal shedding and increased persistence. Strain specific differences in Salmonella pathogenesis might thus have repercussions on the serological detection of Salmonella Typhimurium infections in pigs. 相似文献

Avian bornaviruses (ABVs) were recently discovered as the causative agents of proventricular dilatation
disease (PDD). Although molecular epidemiological studies revealed that ABVs exist in Japan, no Japanese
isolate has been reported thus far. In this study, we isolated four strains of Psittaciform 1
bornavirus from psittacine birds affected by PDD using QT6 quail cells. To our knowledge, this is
the first report to isolate ABVs in Japan and to show that QT6 cells are available for ABV isolation. These
isolates and QT6 cells would be powerful tools for elucidating the fundamental biology and pathogenicity of
ABVs. 相似文献

Melissococcus plutonius is an important pathogen that causes
European foulbrood (EFB) in honeybee larvae. Recently, we discovered a group of M.
plutonius strains that are phenotypically and genetically distinct from other
strains. These strains belong to clonal complex (CC) 12, as determined by multilocus
sequence typing analysis, and show atypical cultural and biochemical characteristics
in vitro compared with strains of other CCs tested. Although EFB is
considered to be a purely intestinal infection according to early studies, it is unknown
whether the recently found CC12 strains cause EFB by the same pathomechanism. In this
study, to obtain a better understanding of EFB, we infected European honeybee
(Apis mellifera) larvae per os with a
well-characterized CC12 strain, DAT561, and analyzed the larvae histopathologically.
Ingested DAT561 was mainly localized in the midgut lumen surrounded by the peritrophic
matrix (PM) in the larvae. In badly affected larvae, the PM and midgut epithelial cells
degenerated, and some bacterial cells were detected outside of the midgut. However, they
did not proliferate in the deep tissues actively. By immunohistochemical analysis, the PM
was stained with anti-M. plutonius serum in most of the DAT561-infected
larvae. In some larvae, luminal surfaces of the PM were more strongly stained than the
inside. These results suggest that infection of CC12 strain in honeybee larvae is
essentially confined to the intestine. Moreover, our results imply the presence of
M. plutonius-derived substances diffusing into the larval tissues in
the course of infection. 相似文献

Schäffer (1900) and Butkewitch (1903) seem to have been the first to focus attention on the proteolytic activity of micro-fungi. The occurrence and properties of proteolytic enzymes from various fungus species were subsequently studied by several authors. Literature in this field was reviewed by e.g. Ito (1950), Gorbach & Koch (1955), Koch & Dedic (1957), Hagihara (1960), Davies (1963) and Roper & Fennell (1965).In connection with investigation of the proteolytic activity of several fungus species, a gelatin hydrolyzing effect of Aspergillus fumigatus (AF) was reported to be exerted by living organisms in pure culture (Jensen 1931), extracted mycelial material (Maxwell 1950, Dingle & Solomons 1952), and by fluid culture medium in which AF was cultured (Dion 1950a, b, Dingle & Solomons). Ay res & Tobie (1943) demonstrated moderate casein hydrolyzing activity in extracted mycelial material from 4 AF strains, and Amatayakul (1955) observed low fibrinolytic activity in 1 strain.Proteolytic activity measured by breakdown of gelatin and casein was demonstrated by Jonsson & Martin (1964) in culture medium in which AF had been cultured. Three activity optima were observed at pH values around 3, 6.5 and 10. A subsequent study indicated that the activity in neutral and alkaline environment was caused by the same enzyme (Martin & Jönsson 1965).By means of electrophoretic separation combined with reactions for enzyme characterization, Tran Van Ky et al. (1966) demonstrated proteolytic activity in mycelial extracts of 21-day AF cultures. A casein precipitating enzyme (CP enzyme) was demonstrated by Sandvik (1967) in the fluid phase of frozen and thawed skimmilk agar cultures from e.g. AF.In addition to haemolysin and toxin (Rutqvist 1965, 1968, Rutqvist & Persson 1966), mycelial filtrates of AF have proved to contain a proteolytic enzyme. An account is given in the following of a study of this enzyme with respect to (1) casein precipitating ability, (2) casein and gelatin hydrolyzing effect, and (3) relation to toxin and haemolysin. 相似文献

Mitochondria are reported to be critical in in vitro maturation of
oocytes and subsequent embryo development after fertilization, but their contribution
for fertilization has not been investigated in detail. In the present study, we
investigate the contribution of mitochondria to fertilization using reconstructed
porcine oocytes by fusion of ooplasmic fragments produced by serial centrifugations
(centri-fusion). Firstly, we evaluated the characteristics of ooplasmic fragments.
Three types of fragments were obtained by centrifugation of porcine oocytes matured
in vitro for 46 h: brownish (B), transparent (T) and large (L)
fragments containing both B and T parts in a fragment. The production efficiencies of
these types of fragments were 71.7, 91.0 and 17.8 fragments/100 oocytes,
respectively. In experiments, L fragments were excluded because they contained both
brownish and transparent components that were apparently intermediate between B and T
fragments. Observations by confocal microscopy after staining with MitoTracker Red
CMXRos® and transmission electron microscopy revealed highly condensed
active mitochondria in B fragments in contrast to T fragments that contained only
sparse organelles. We reconstructed oocytes by fusion of a karyoplast and two
cytoplasts from B and T fragments (B and T oocytes, respectively). The B oocytes
showed higher sperm penetration (95.8%) and male pronuclear formation rates (94.2%)
by in vitro fertilization than T oocytes (66.7% and 50.0%,
respectively). These results suggest that the active mitochondria in oocytes may be
related to their ability for fertilization. 相似文献

In porcine oocytes, the function of the zona pellucida (ZP) with regard to sperm
penetration or prevention of polyspermy is not well understood. In the present study, we
investigated the effects of the ZP on sperm penetration during in vitro
fertilization (IVF). We collected in vitro-matured oocytes with a first
polar body (ZP+ oocytes). Some of them were freed from the ZP (ZP− oocytes) by two
treatments (pronase and mechanical pipetting), and the effects of these treatments on
sperm penetration parameters (sperm penetration rate and numbers of penetrated sperm per
oocyte) were evaluated. There was no evident difference in the parameters between the two
groups. Secondly, we compared the sperm penetration parameters of ZP+ and ZP− oocytes
using frozen-thawed epididymal spermatozoa from four boars. Sperm penetration into ZP+
oocytes was found to be accelerated relative to ZP− oocytes. Thirdly, we evaluated the
sperm penetration of ZP+ and ZP− oocytes at 1−10 h after IVF (3 h gamete co-incubation).
The proportions of oocytes penetrated by sperm increased significantly with time in both
groups; however, the number of penetrated sperm per oocyte did not increase in ZP−
oocytes. Finally, we performed IVF using ZP− oocytes divided into control (3 h) and
prolonged gamete co-incubation (5 h) groups. Greater numbers of sperm penetrated in the 5
h group than in the control group. These results suggest that the ZP and oolemma are not
competent factors for prevention of polyspermy in our present porcine IVF system. However,
it appears that ZP removal is one of the possibilities for reducing polyspermic
penetration in vitro in pigs. 相似文献

Johne’s disease, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), is a chronic enteritis of ruminants. Previous studies have shown that programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is associated with the disease progression, and PD-L1 blockade activates MAP-specific Th1 responses in vitro. Here, we performed anti-PD-L1 antibody administration using 2 MAP-infected cattle at the late subclinical stage of infection. After administration, bacterial shedding was reduced or maintained at a low level. Additionally, MAP-specific Th1 cytokine production was upregulated, and CD69 expression was increased in T cells. Collectively, the treatment has a potential as a novel control method against Johne’s disease. 相似文献

The prevalence of resistant
genes against β-lactams in 119 Aeromonas strains was determined. A large
number (99.2%) of the present fish strains were resistant to one or more β- lactams
including ceftiofur, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ampicillin, piperacillin and
cefpodoxime. Among antibiotic resistance phenotypes, the simultaneous resistance to all
β-lactams occurred in 25.2% (n=30) of all strains, which consisted of 18 strains of
A. dhakensis, 8 strains of A. caviae, 2 strains of
A. hydrophila and only one strain of A. veronii. For
exploring genetic background of the antibiotic resistances, multiple PCR assays were
subjected to detect β-lactamase-encoding genes, blaTEM,
blaOXA-B and blaCTX-M. In the
results, the blaTEM-1 gene was harbored in all strains,
whereas only 3 strains harbored blaOXA gene. In the case of
blaCTX-M gene, the gene was detected in 21.0% (25 out of
119) of all strains, which countered with 80% (20 out of 25) of A.
dhakensis, 8% (2 out of 25) of A. caviae and 12% (3 out of 25)
of A. hydrophila. In addition, most of the
blaCTX-M positive strains showed simultaneous resistance to
all β-lactams (18 out of 30 strains). In sequence analysis for
blaCTX-M genes detected, they were CTX-M group 1-encoding
genes including blaCTX-M-33 from 3 eel strains of A.
dhakensis. Therefore, A. dhakensis obtained from cultured fish
could represent a reservoir for spreading genes encoding CTX-M group 1 enzymes and hence
should be carefully monitored, especially for its potential risk to public health. 相似文献

The objective of this research was to clarify the aging-related changes in in
vitro-matured bovine oocytes. Firstly, we examined the fertilization and
embryonic development of bovine oocytes after 22 and 30–34 h of in vitro
maturation (IVM). The oocytes after 30–34 h of IVM (penetrated by sperm at around 40 h
after starting IVM) showed a lower developmental rate to blastocysts (P<0.01), although
normal fertilization rates were similar regardless of IVM duration. In the next
experiment, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial activity and ATP content in
oocytes after 20, 30 and 40 h of IVM were examined. The lowest level of ROS was found in
the group subjected to 30 h of IVM. The mitochondrial activity and ATP content in the
group subjected to 40 h of IVM were higher than in the group subjected to 20 h of IVM
(P<0.01), and those in the group subjected to 30 h of IVM showed intermediate values.
Thereafter, the mitochondrial activities at 3 days after in vitro
fertilization in embryos derived from the oocytes subjected to 22 and 34 h of IVM were
evaluated. In the group subjected to 34 h of IVM, high-polarized mitochondria were
frequently observed at the periphery of blastomeres. The present results suggest that high
mitochondrial activity observed in oocytes after prolonged IVM culture and localization of
high-polarized mitochondria at the periphery of blastomeres during early embryonic
development may be associated with the low developmental competence in aged bovine
oocytes. 相似文献

The antibacterial potential of organic acids and essential oil components against Brachyspira
hyodysenteriae, the causative pathogen of swine dysentery, was evaluated. Minimum inhibitory
concentrations (MIC) of 15 compounds were determined at pH 7.2 and pH 6.0, using a broth microdilution assay.
In addition, possible synergism was determined. MIC values for the three tested strains were similar. For
organic acids, MIC values at pH 6.0 were lower than at pH 7.2. B. hyodysenteriae was most
sensitive to cinnamaldehyde and lauric acid, with MIC values <1.5 mM. Most antibacterial effects of binary
combinations were additive, however, for thymol and carvacrol, synergism could be observed. In
vitro results demonstrate the antibacterial action of certain essential oil components and organic
acids against B. hyodysenteriae. 相似文献

Inhibins are members of the TGFβ superfamily and act as suppressors
of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from pituitary glands
via a negative feedback mechanism to regulate folliculogenesis. In
this study, the INHBB gene was knocked down by three
RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ-ZsGreen vector- mediated recombinant plasmids
to explore the effects of INHBB silencing on
granulosa cell (GC) cell cycle, apoptosis and steroid production
in vitro. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain
reaction, Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA were performed to
evaluate the role of INHBB in the mouse GC cell
cycle, apoptosis and steroid production in vitro. The
results showed that the relative mRNA and protein expression of
INHBB in mouse GCs can be significantly reduced by
RNAi with pshRNA-B1, pshRNA-B2 and pshRNA-B3 plasmids, with pshRNA-B3
having the best knockdown efficiency. Downregulation of the expression
of INHBB significantly arrests cells in the G1 phase
of the cell cycle and increases the apoptosis rate in GCs. This was
further confirmed by downregulation of the protein expressions of
Cyclin D1, Cyclin E and Bcl2, while the protein expression of Bax was
upregulated. In addition, specific downregulation of
INHBB markedly decreased the concentration of
estradiol and progesterone, which was further validated by the
decrease in the mRNA levels of CYP19A1and
CYP11A1. These findings suggest that inhibin βB is
important in the regulation of apoptosis and cell cycle progression in
granulosa cells. Furthermore, the inhibin βB subunit has a role in the
regulation of steroid hormone biosynthesis. Evidence is accumulating
to support the concept that inhibin βB is physiologically essential
for early folliculogenesis in the mouse. 相似文献

One of the factors that impairs in vitro produced porcine embryos
is the oxidative stress that is mainly caused by the imbalance between reactive
oxygen species (ROS) generation and antioxidants activity, especially that of
glutathione (GSH). Here, we examined the effect of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF), a
kind of flavonoid antioxidant, on porcine oocyte maturation and its developmental
competence. Porcine oocytes were cultured in media supplemented with 0, 1, 5 and 10
μM 7,8-DHF during both in vitro maturation (IVM) and in
vitro culture (IVC) after parthenogenetic activation. Maturation of
oocytes was evaluated based on first polar body (PB) extrusion and intracellular GSH
level, and developmental competence was assessed through observing cleavage and
blastocyst formation. In each step, the levels of intracellular GSH and ROS were
assessed by fluorescence intensity, and the apoptosis-related gene expression was
examined using semiquantitative RT-PCR. The group treated with 1 μM 7,8-DHF during
IVM and IVC showed increased cytoplasmic maturation and reached the blastocysts stage
(36.1%) at a higher rate than the other groups (24.7, 16.0 and 10.3% for 0, 5 and 10
μM, P<0.05). In that group, the intracellular GSH level was significantly
increased while ROS generation was significantly decreased after IVM and IVC
(P<0.05). Moreover, it showed high expression of an anti-apoptotic gene
(BCL2L1) and low expression of a pro-apoptotic gene
(BAK1) (P<0.05). In conclusion, treatment with 1 μM 7,8-DHF
during IVM and IVC showed an anti-apoptotic effect by increasing intracellular GSH
synthesis and scavenging ROS and therefore improved the developmental competence of
porcine embryos. 相似文献

In vitro growth of immature oocytes provides opportunities to increase gametic resources and
to understand the mechanisms underlying oocyte development. Many studies on the in vitro
growth of oocytes have been reported thus far; however, only a few cases have been reported, which
demonstrated that oocytes can support full-term development after in vitro fertilization. Our
research group recently found that culture of mouse neonatal primordial follicles increased the birthrate;
however, the establishment of an in vitro system that can completely mimic follicle or oocyte
growth in vivo and control oogenesis remains an ongoing challenge. 相似文献

Parasites resembling Neospora caninum or Toxoplasma gondii were detected by cytologic examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a dog with neurologic disease. The dog became severely ill and was euthanized. Canine tissue homogenates were used for direct parasite isolation in cell culture, bioassay in 2 mouse lineages, and PCR. T. gondii was isolated in monkey kidney cells, and species identity was confirmed by PCR. Inoculated parasites were highly virulent for mice, which developed clinical signs and were euthanized immediately. PCR-RFLP for T. gondii using the cultured isolate (TgDgBA22) was conducted with 12 genetic markers, and a unique recombinant strain was identified. Detection of T. gondii by CSF cytology, although described in humans, had not been reported previously in dogs, to our knowledge, and was crucial for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in the examined dog. 相似文献

Between 2011 and 2012, a total of 896 pig fecal samples were collected from nine
provinces in Korea, and 50 salmonella enterica susp.
enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) was
isolated. The characteristics of the 50 strains were analyzed, and 4 strains were
identified as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica
serovar 4,[5],12:i:-. Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- could not be distinguished
from S. Typhimurium through phage typing, antimicrobial resistance
testing or multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA). However, among
the four Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- strains, one (KVCC-BA1400078) was
identified as a Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- clone isolated from humans in the
United States, and another (KVCC-BA1400080) was identified as DT193, which has been
primarily isolated from humans and animals in European countries. The presence of
Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- in Korea poses a significant threat of
horizontal transfer between pigs and humans. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to investigate prevalence, O-genotype, and virulence gene profile including Shiga toxin (Stx) 2 gene-subtype of Stx-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in beef cattle from the Bahía Blanca in Argentina. Rectal swabs were collected from 283 beef cattle in 2012. stx genes were detected in 90 (32%) out of the 283 rectal swabs by stx gene-specific PCR assay. The positive cases were 13 with stx1, 58 with stx2, and 19 with both stx1 and stx2. Among 90 stx gene-positive samples, 45 STEC strains were isolated, which included 3 stx1, 34 stx2, and eight stx1 and stx2 genes positive isolates. O-genotyping grouped 45 STEC strains into 19 different O-genotypes such as Og8, Og145, Og171, Og185 (4 from each), Og22, Og153, Og157 (3 from each) and others. Various stx2 gene-subtypes were identified in 42 STEC strains: 13 positive cases for stx2a, 11 for stx2c, 3 for stx2g, 10 for stx2a and stx2d, 4 for stx2a and stx2c, and 1 for stx2b, stx2c and stx2g. efaI gene, generally prevalent in clinical strains, was detected in relatively high in the STEC strains. These data suggest that stx2a and stx2c were distributed not only in O145 and O157 but also in minor O-genotypes of STEC in Argentina. 相似文献
