棉枯萎菌血清学检测技术初步研究

以棉枯萎镰刀菌菌丝中孢子提取的蛋白质为抗原免疫家兔制备的２种抗血清Ａｓ２、Ａｓ１０中成分复杂，用琼脂双扩散法和比较对流免疫电泳法测定特异性，交叉反应明显。Ａｓ２用木贼镰刀菌的异原、Ａｓ１０用禾谷镰刀菌的异种抗原吸收排除非特异性成分后，抗血清的专化性提高，消除了交叉反应。特异性测定结果表明；利用此种经吸收后的抗血清检测棉枯萎镰刀菌可以准确地鉴定到尖孢镰刀菌种的水平，但不能区分专化型。     

Effects of Thyroxin and Domperidone on Oocyte Maturation and Spawning Performances in the Rabbit Fish,Siganus guttatus

Thyroxin (T₄) is proven to have various functions in fish reproduction. In this study, we investigated oocyte maturation and spawning performance in the rabbit fish, Siganus guttatus, orally exposed to different doses of T₄ (0.05, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/kg fish) during vitellogenesis. No statistically significant differences of reproductive characteristics were observed among the treatments. However, the group that was exposed to the dose of 0.5 mg/kg spawned after receiving a hormone injection. The findings suggest that feeding T₄ during vitellogenesis did not advance oocyte maturation, but probably could induce spawning in rabbit fish. In a separate experiment, we investigated the effects of orally administered domperidone (DOM) on reproductive performances of the female rabbit fish. The study showed that oral administration of DOM during the early stages of the reproductive cycle had no significant effects on oocyte maturation and spawning performance. Overall, these findings suggest that DOM may not be needed for the induction of maturation and spawning of this species under aquaculture conditions. These practical investigations were conducted with a view to attempt reducing drug use, production costs, and support sustainable aquaculture.     

不同酶制剂对水稻秸秆和白酒糟混合青贮品质的影响

为研究不同酶制剂对水稻（Oryza sativa L.）秸秆和白酒糟（m︰m=1︰1）混合青贮品质的影响，设置CK（对照）、CEL（250 U·g^-1纤维素酶）和XYL（250 U·g^-1木聚糖酶）3个处理，青贮120 d后取样测定其青贮品质。结果表明：CEL处理的感官评定等级为良好；CEL和XYL处理的干物质、粗脂肪、钾和镁含量均显著高于CK（P<0.05），且CEL处理的粗蛋白和磷含量显著高于CK（P<0.05）；CEL和XYL处理的中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维、木质素和纤维素含量均显著低于CK（P<0.05），且CEL处理显著低于XYL处理（P<0.05）；CEL和XYL处理30 h的养分消化率显著高于CK（P<0.05），且CEL处理48 h的养分消化率均显著高于CK（P<0.05）；CEL和XYL处理的饲用价值显著高于CK（P<0.05），且CEL处理显著高于XYL处理（P<0.05）。综上所述，添加纤维素酶、木聚糖酶能够提高水稻秸秆和白酒糟混合青贮的营养品质、养分消化率和饲用价值，且纤维素酶的添加效果优于木聚糖酶。     

Study on the Stability of Blue-tongue Virus after Long Time Storage in Cold Room

In order to understand the stability of blue-tongue virus (BTV)storage in cold room for long time, 18 tissue samples which were kept in 4℃ for 10 to 15 years were test by Real-time PCR, and 10 blood samples which were kept in 4℃ for 15 years were subjected to virus isolation process, then was proved by monoclonal antibody staining,research results showed all old samples were positive in Real-time PCR, further more, 5 live virus were isolated from 10 old blood samples. The results suggested the stability of BTV was higher than we thought before.     

Response of the german cockroach Blattella germanica (L.) to a light source following exposure to surface deposits of insecticides

Adult male German cockroaches were exposed to surface deposits of insecticides for 5 min in the central compartment of a three-compartment choice chamber illuminated at one end. They were then allowed access to the escape compartments and their distribution recorded over the subsequent 60 min. Cockroaches exposed to pyrethroid insecticides rapidly accumulated in the escape compartment closest to the light source; the same effect was observed to a lesser extent following exposure to propoxur. Boric acid and bendiocarb deposits inhibited the movement of the cockroaches away from the light source, and fenitrothion deposits delayed it. Dieldrin had no effect on the distribution of cockroaches within the choice chamber. The reversal of the normal tendency of German cockroaches to move from a light area to a dark harbourage following exposure to pyrethroids may contribute to the flushing action observed when these chemicals are used for control of B. germanica populations.     

南方根结线虫的寄生真菌——虫生轮枝孢菌生物学特性的研究

虫生轮枝孢(Verticillium insectorum)寄生于南方根结线虫(Meloidogyne incognita)的雌虫和四龄幼虫,此菌在浙江省棉花和黄杨根结线虫上的自然寄生率分别为10.2％和20.5％,是棉花根结线虫天敌真菌区系中的优势种,占77.3％。在25—30℃范围内生长,产孢和孢子萌发均好;当外界相对湿度达到75％时,此菌开始生长并产孢,但孢子萌发需要较高的相对湿度(95％)。基质pH值的变化对产孢影响不大,在pH5—9范围内,生长均好,但孢子萌发需较严格的pH值,以pH7为最好。此菌在马铃薯琼脂培养基和玉米琼脂培养基上生长较快,查彼克培养基对产孢最有利。V.insectonum对棉花的生长发育无不良影响,在盆栽试验中,用此菌(10~6个孢子/1克土)和南方根结线虫卵(2500粒/盆)接种棉花根围,有71.0—89.1％的雌虫被寄生。     

Intermuscular variation in tenderness: association with the ubiquitous and muscle-specific calpains

The biochemistry of intermuscular variation in tenderness is not fully understood. To investigate the role of the calpains in this process we performed two experiments using bovine and ovine species. In the bovine experiment, two distinct muscles, longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LT) and psoas major (PM), were used. In the ovine experiment, four muscles, LT, PM, semimembranosus (SM), and semitendinosus (ST), were used. Muscles were sampled at death for the determination of the steady-state mRNA level of calpains and calpastatin and the activities of calpain 1, 2, and calpastatin. Muscles were also sampled to determine the temporal changes in pH, tenderness, and the activity of the ubiquitous calpain system during postmortem aging. The results of the relative rate of tenderization in both species was found to be related to muscle type; LT had the highest value in both species. Within species, the mRNA steady-state levels of calpain 1 and calpastatin were similar in various bovine and ovine muscles. Bovine calpain 2 mRNA level was significantly lower in the LT than in the PM. Ovine calpain 2 mRNA level was lower, but not significantly different, in the LT compared to the other muscles. The mRNA level of bovine calpain 3 was significantly higher in the LT muscle than in the PM. In the ovine, the mRNA level of calpain 3 was highest in the LT, followed by SM, PM, and ST. Results on the activity of the ubiquitous calpain system in various muscles at death were dependent on muscle type and species. Temporal changes in the activity of calpains and calpastatin during the first 24 h of postmortem aging were similar in the muscles studied: calpain 1 and calpastatin declined significantly and calpain 2 remained relatively unchanged. The temporal changes in muscle pH in both experiments indicated that the extent and rate of pH decline during aging was related to muscle type. Correlation analysis between the relative rate of tenderization and mRNA expression of calpains revealed a strong relationship with calpain 3 in both species.     

Distribution and repeatability of faecal egg counts and blood parameters in dairy goats naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes

The frequency, distribution and repeatability of measurements related to infection with gastrointestinal nematodes have been estimated in dairy goats. Monthly faecal and blood samples were taken over two grazing seasons from a flock of 120 naturally infected goats. The frequency distribution of egg excretion was positively skewed at each sampling date, suggesting an aggregative distribution of parasites. Overdispersed distributions were also apparent for pepsinogen and inorganic phosphate values. Repeatabilities for each parameter were estimated within each year. The values ranged between 0.23 to 0.43 and were relatively similar during the 2 years, with the highest coefficients recorded for pepsinogen. For each parameter, moderate to high repeatabilities were also estimated between the 2 years. Overall, the data suggest that, in dairy goats, the distribution of worms is overdispersed with a few individuals repeatedly harbouring large worm populations. These results have practical implications for genetic selection for resistance to worm infection and for selective administration of anthelmintics.     

Correlations of measurements of subclinical claw horn lesions in dairy cattle

Measurements were made of the extent of sole and white line lesions on the claws of 115 Holstein-Friesian cows on at least three and at most 16 occasions, and some cows were followed up to their third lactation. All the measurements were made between 12 weeks before calving and 45 weeks after calving. In total, 1016 repeated observations were made. Correlations were calculated between pairs of claws, between types of lesion (sole and white line), and between pairs of the different measurements (number of lesions, proportion of the claw affected, maximum severity score and proportion of the claw affected weighted for severity). The outer hind claws had the greatest extent of lesions of both types. Spearman correlation coefficients and confidence intervals measured the strength of the association. All the associations between claws were positive, suggesting that the lesions did not occur in isolation. Sole and white line lesions were not associated at individual observation points. Lesions on the left and right claws were markedly similar, except for sole lesions on the two inner hind claws, and for white line lesions on the two outer hind claws.
