Vibrio harveyi (VirB11) recombinant vaccine development against vibriosis in orange‐spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides)

Despite significant improvements in aquaculture to compensate wild catch, disease organisms have thrived in limiting its national and global potential. Using antibiotics, in a bid to remedy the havoc, has given rise to complications, attracting attention to disease prevention by immune enhancement against diseases. Grouper production has been inhibited for the threats of bacterial infection, particularly of Vibrio origin. Considering the rise in vibriosis cases, improved vaccines are necessary; moreover, recombinant vaccines, the choice for trial in the present experiment have been effective and more specific in improving immunity. The current work deals with grouper immune system enhancement with a recombinant vaccine developed from VirB11 gene in Vibrio harveyi. VirB11 was cloned in V. harveyi for recombinant vaccine development against vibriosis in orange‐spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). As indicated by the results, recombinant VirB11 protein showed effectiveness in conferring protection against vibriosis with observable specific antibody response in enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis; a significant increase (p < 0.05) in antibody levels was observed after a week and after 8 weeks post‐vaccination. From the weeks post‐vaccination, log2 (antibody titres) in the sera of vaccinated groups reached a peak of 14.2 at week 5 in the vaccinated group in comparison with a peak of approximately 5 and 2 in adjuvant and PBS controls. As indicated by the challenge results, 90% relative survival was observed in vaccinated group and 13% relative survival in control group I (adjuvant control). The cumulative performance of protein concludes VirB11 commendable for recombinant vaccine development.

浅谈“十四五”土壤肥力与土壤养分循环分支学科发展战略

土壤肥力与土壤养分循环分支学科是土壤学科中应用性较强的学科,悠久的发展历史积累了极为丰富的文献资料,在评价和利用土壤资源,提高作物产量和养分利用率,减少环境污染中发挥着重要作用。"十四五"期间土壤肥力与土壤养分循环分支学科应加强土壤养分转化过程、速率、产物及其影响因素的基础性研究。鉴于我国大宗作物种植强度下降,集约化设施种植面积增加的两极化发展现状和减肥减药维持生态环境安全的国家需求,"十四五"期间,土壤肥力与土壤养分循环分支学科应加强以下针对性研究:1)休耕轮作对土壤肥力的影响及通过休耕轮作维持和提高土壤肥力的原理、途径和方法;2)高度集约化种植条件下快速恢复土壤肥力,保持土壤健康和有效利用土壤养分的科学管理原理、途径和方法;3)实现土壤-作物-环境相互契合,充分发挥土壤肥力,高效利用土壤养分的基础科学问题。     

Eco‐efficiency as a strategy for optimizing the sustainability of pest management

Agricultural industrialization and the subsequent reliance on pesticides has resulted in numerous unintended consequences, such as impacts upon the environment and by extension human health. Eco‐efficiency is a strategy for sustainably increasing production, while simultaneously decreasing these externalities on ecological systems. Eco‐efficiency is defined as the ratio of production to environmental impacts. It has been widely adopted to improve chemical production, but we investigate the challenges of applying eco‐efficiency to pesticide use. Eco‐efficiency strategies include technological innovation, investment in research and development, improvement of business processes, and accounting for market forces. These components are often part of integrated pest management (IPM) systems that include alternatives to pesticides, but its implementation is often thwarted by commercial realities and technical challenges. We propose the creation and adoption of an eco‐efficiency index for pesticide use so that the broad benefits of eco‐efficient strategies such as IPM can be more readily quantified. We propose an index based upon the ratio of crop yield to a risk quotient (RQ) calculated from pesticide toxicity. Eco‐efficiency is an operational basis for optimizing pest management for sustainability. It naturally favors adoption of IPM and should be considered by regulators, researchers, and practitioners involved in pest management. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry     

宁夏回族自治区一起非洲猪瘟疫情的流行病学调查

2019年5月,宁夏回族自治区石嘴山市惠农区发生的一起非洲猪瘟疫情。为追溯疫情来源,分析疫情扩散风险,以现场调查、追踪调查、座谈、采样检测等方式进行了流行病学调查。调查显示,生猪贩运人员和车辆交叉感染导致疫情发生的可能性较高,不排除流浪犬以及废品杂物等传入疫情的风险,疫情扩散风险较低。由此,建议当地加大非洲猪瘟防控知识宣传,促进养殖场户提升生物安全水平,加强人员、物品、车辆的清洗消毒,规范生猪和生猪产品的跨地区调运、产地检疫、运输车辆备案管理以及相关场所和车辆的清洗消毒。此起疫情的调查结果对该地区非洲猪瘟防控具有一定参考意义。     

比利时野猪非洲猪瘟防控

2018年9月,比利时公共健康研究院(国家非洲猪瘟参考实验室)确认在瓦隆地区发现野猪感染非洲猪瘟病毒,毒株与2007年欧洲首例非洲猪瘟病毒株非常相似。欧盟和比利时通过采取卓有成效的控制措施,截至目前未发生家猪感染病例。主要防控经验:一是出台法规,组建非洲猪瘟政策委员会,及时评估和措施调整;二是根据OIE的原则要求建立管控区,借助人工屏障和自然屏障,防止感染野猪跨区域移动;三是完善养殖企业生物安全管理制度,防止野猪和家猪的接触,并通过SANITEL系统对境内的所有家猪开展标识追溯,防止高风险地区家猪的非法移动;四是做好宣传,使兽医、养殖户、狩猎者了解非洲猪瘟相关认知,确保防控义务落实到人。     

园林绿化垃圾资源化利用产品在园林绿化中的应用效果评价

为探索园林绿化垃圾资源化利用产品在园林绿化和土壤改良中的实际应用效果,进一步推动园林绿化垃圾的资源化利用。本试验分别将园林绿化资源化利用产品——有机肥和生物质炭应用于城市公园的绿化中,选取红花檵木、大叶油草、紫色狼尾草分别作为园林绿化中的灌木和草本的代表性植物,通过测定不同处理中植物的叶绿素含量、株高以及土壤养分来评价园林绿化垃圾资源化利用产品的应用效果。结果显示：有机肥和生物质炭的使用会有效提高3种植株的叶绿素含量,促进植物生长。有机肥对于红花檵木的土壤养分含量的影响并不一致,但是对于土壤含水率和电导率均有不同程度的提高。另外,有机肥和生物质炭会显著提高大叶油草和紫穗狼尾草的土壤养分含量,更加有利于植物生长。本试验在植株生长和土壤养分这一方面为园林绿化垃圾资源化利用产品在园林绿化中的应用提供了理论依据,同时为园林绿化垃圾的资源化利用奠定了基础。后续的研究中要更加深入的在土壤的物理、化学、生物性质三方面进行,进一步充实上述理论依据。     

无针免疫猪圆环病毒2型亚单位疫苗效果评价

为评价用无针注射器接种猪圆环病毒2型亚单位疫苗的安全性及免疫效果,为无针免疫的使用、推广提供数据支撑,将40头3～5周龄三元猪随机均分为4组,即有针注射1头份剂量组以及无针注射低（1/4头份）、中（1/2头份）、高（1头份）剂量组,分别于第1、21天开展两次免疫,观察试验前后动物的临床症状、体重变化,并对第7、14、21、28、42天各组动物体内抗体水平变化及免疫效率等进行研究。结果显示：采用无针注射器进行免疫时动物疼痛反应较小,注射速度快,免疫后各组动物精神状态、饮食、饮水、自发活动等无异常;与有针注射组动物相比,减量注射（1/4头份）可以显著促进仔猪增重（P <0.05）,同时可以达到和有针注射同样的免疫效果（P> 0.05）;同等剂量亚单位疫苗注射免疫后,无针免疫组动物体内抗体水平更高（P <0.01）,且各组动物体内抗体阳性率均可有效维持至试验结束。结果表明,用无针注射器接种猪圆环病毒2型亚单位疫苗安全性高、耐受性好、有效性稳定,无针注射器减量免疫可以达到有效保护作用的同时促进了仔猪生长,可尝试推广应用。
