广东梅州柑橘黄龙病和病毒病的发生调查及其黄龙病菌原噬菌体多样性

【目的】调查柑橘黄龙病（Huanglongbing,HLB）和病毒病在广东省梅州市柑橘主产区的危害情况,分析该地区柑橘黄龙病菌（CLas）的原噬菌体多样性。【方法】以16S rDNA为模板设计引物,利用实时荧光定量PCR（qPCR)检测梅州市不同抽检地在2017—2019年3年间柑橘黄龙病的发病情况;同时分别采用已报道的柑橘衰退病毒（Citrus tristeza virus,CTV）、柑橘裂皮病毒（Citrus exocortis viroid,CEVd）、柑橘褪绿矮缩病毒（Citrus chlorotic dwarf-associated virus,CCDaV）、柑橘碎叶病毒（Citrus tatter leaf virus,CTLV）和柑橘黄脉病毒（Citrus yellow vein clearing virus,CYVCV）的特异性检测引物,提取样品的RNA,反转后以样品的cDNA为模板,通过普通PCR的方法分析梅州市抽检地区柑橘病毒病的发生情况。此外,以基于2种原噬菌体类型（SC1和SC2）对应的超变异基因区域设计的2对引物（Lap-TJ-F/Lap-TJ-R1和Lap-TJ-F/Lap-TJ-R2）,运用普通PCR方法分析该地区CLas菌株原噬菌体的遗传多样性。【结果】除2018年9月梅州大浦顺兴公司蜜柚基地的抽检样品外,梅州市其他被检地区均发现CLas。总体来说,梅州市的脐橙CLas检出率为55.3%,蜜柚为61.5%,沙田柚为61.7%。其中2017年采集自平原县大拓镇的蜜柚和沙田柚样品CLas检出率为100%,兴宁市白马镇的蜜柚为100%,沙田柚为80%;其他抽检地区的样品CLas检出率在16.7%—83.3%。虽然梅州市部分地区的检出率较高,但其病原菌的含量并不高,大部分处于柑橘黄龙病发病初、中期,属可防可控阶段;此外,梅州市柑橘病毒的总检出率不高,CTV、CTLV和CYVCV为梅州的主要病毒,CEVd和CCDaV没有检测到。CTV、CTLV和CYVCV在脐橙上的检出率依次为78.9%、7.9%和21.1%,蜜柚为15.4%、25.0%和9.6%,沙田柚为6.4%、2.1%和4.3%。基于Lap-TJ-F/Lap-TJ-R1和Lap-TJ-F/Lap-TJ-R2来研究CLas原噬菌体多样性的PCR扩增条带共有4种类型（SC1-1、SC1-2、SC2-1和SC2-2）,经过PCR电泳和测序得出,来自梅州市脐橙和沙田柚的CLas菌株以SC2-1型为主,蜜柚上以SC1-1型为主。【结论】梅州柑橘产区的柑橘黄龙病目前属于可防可控阶段,其病原菌菌株的原噬菌体在不同品种上具有其独特性;由于在抽检时发现有柑橘病毒病的存在,因此在种植过程中需加强种苗监管,同时应采取有效措施对柑橘黄龙病和柑橘木虱（Diaphorina citri）进行绿色防控。

Role of cytokeratin 8 on changes of intestinal epithelial permeability induced by corticotropin-releasing factor

AIM: To investigate the role of cytokeratin 8 (CK8) on the change of intercellular permeability of intestinal epithelial cells induced by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). METHODS: The expression levels of CRF receptor 1 (CRFR1) and CRFR2 on human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cell surface were determined by immunofluorescence staining. After treatment with 100 nmol/L CRF for 72 h, the translocation of FITC-labelled dextran was measured in a Transwell chamber. The structural changes of tight junctions were observed under transmission electron microscope. The expression levels of CK8, and tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin were determined by Western blot. The activity of protein kinase C (PKC) was detected by ELISA. Furthermore, the effects of CRF on intestinal epithelial permeability were examined in CK8-silencing HT29 cells, which were constructed by infection with sh-CK8 lentivirus. RESULTS: CRF treatment increased the permeability of FITC-labelled dextran (P<0.05), caused the opening of tight junctions, and induced increased fluorescence intensity of CK8. The expression levels of occludin and ZO-1 were down-regulated (P<0.05). PKC activity was decreased at 1 h after CRF treatment (P<0.05). CRF-induced increase in the permeability and down-regulation of occludin were not blocked by CK8 silencing. Nevertheless,CK8 silencing blocked the effects of CRF regarding the decrease in the expression levels of ZO-1 and the increase in PKC activity (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CK8 may be involved in CRF-induced increase in intestinal epithelial permeability by inhibiting the activity of PKC, and there may be other signaling pathways involved.     

Bilateral apex pubis distance：a novel index for follicular development and egg laying status in domestic hens (Gallus gallus domesticus)

ABSTRACT

1. Measures of the bilateral apex pubis (BAP) in White Leghorn (WLH) hens aged from 16 to 64 weeks (from the time ovaries were completely undeveloped to senility) were ranked into various groups so the relationship between external traits (BAP distance, comb length, comb height, wattle length, wattle height, body weight) and internal traits (largest ovarian follicle diameter (LFD) and oviduct weight and length) could be determined.

2. Using correlation and regression analysis with data from 16 weeks of age to the onset of lay, measurements of the apex pubis showed a strong correlation with LFD (r = 0.80, P < 0.01) and oviduct weight (r = 0.80, P < 0.01).

3. Multiple comparisons among WLH hens from 16 to 43 weeks of age showed that the BAP distance increased in all groups ranked by LFD or by laying period.

4. In the late laying period (>60 weeks of age), BAP distance showed a significant decrease (P < 0.01) in long-term non-laying hens compared to laying hens.

5. These findings suggest BAP distance can serve as an index for evaluating the onset and probable stages of follicular development during sexual maturation and/or aid in the identification and selection of non-laying hens during reproduction.     

First serological evidence of West Nile virus infection in wild birds in Northern Algeria

While the epidemiology of Flaviviruses has been extensively studied in most of the Mediterranean basin, little is known about the current situation in Algeria. In order to detect the circulation of West Nile (WNV) and Usutu viruses (USUV) in Kabylia, 165 sera were collected from two wild birds species, namely the long distance migrant Turdus philomelos (song thrush) (n = 92) and the resident Passer domesticus (house sparrow) (n = 73). A total of 154 sera were first analyzed by commercial competition ELISA. WNV and USUV micro-neutralization tests were performed on all c-ELISA positive sera and all samples with poor volume. Overall, 7.8 % (CI95 %: 3.5–11.9) were positive by c-ELISA. Positive results were detected in 12.5 % (CI95 %:5.6–19.4) of song thrushes and 1.5 % (CI95 %: 0.0–4.5) for sparrow.Micro-neutralization tests revealed an overall seroprevalence of 6.7 % for WNV (CI95 %: 2.9–10.3), Neutralizing antibodies were found in 8.7 % (CI95 %: 3.0–14.4) for song thrushes and in 4.1 % (CI95 %: 0.0–8.7) of sparrows. The current study demonstrates significant seroprevalence of WNV antibodies in wild birds in Algeria.     

基于S基因序列分析新型猪流行性腹泻病毒的遗传演化

最近，笔者实验室在青藏高原地区发现两种新亚型藏猪源猪流行性腹泻病毒（PEDV），为进一步调查新型PEDV是否在四川腹泻猪群中存在或流行，对实验室2018-2019年保存的116份猪腹泻粪便或肠组织样本进行PEDV的检测及其纤突蛋白基因（spike）分子特征研究。结果表明：腹泻样本的PEDV检出率为42.2%（49/116，95% CI=33.1%~51.8%），并获得了13条完整的S基因序列，全长为4 149~4 170 bp，序列相似性为94.2%~99.9%，其中SWUN-H3-CH-SCYA-2019的S基因与藏猪源新G1亚群PEDV的序列相似性高达97.0%~98.6%。遗传演化研究结果表明13株PEDV S基因划分为G1和G2大群，其中SWUN-H3-CH-SCYA-2019位于藏猪源新G1亚群；SWUN-19-CH-SCZY-2018、SWUN-4-CH-SCXC-2018、SWUN-1-CH-SCNJ-2019和SWUN-3CH-CH-SCZG-2019位于G2亚群中一个独立的分支，且与藏猪源新G2亚群毒株有着较近的亲缘关系。为了进一步研究13株PEDV的演化过程，以贝叶斯进化分析软件包（BEAST）进行分歧时间估算，结果表明SWUN-H3-CH-SCYA-2019的分歧时间约为2012.3年，早于藏猪源新G1亚群其余毒株的最早分歧时间（2015.7年）；SWUN-4-CH-SCXC-2018、SWUN-19-CH-SCZY-2018和SWUN-3CH-CH-SCZG-2019的分歧时间约为2014.2年，早于G2亚群的藏猪源毒株2014.7年，所有藏猪源PEDV的分歧时间均晚于四川毒株。本研究在四川地区首次发现了藏猪源PEDV，并且从毒株的分歧时间推断青藏高原的藏猪源PEDV来源于四川，为新型PEDV分子遗传进化的监测提供了依据。     

Insights into African swine fever virus immunoevasion strategies

African swine fever(ASF) is an acute and highly contagious disease that causes severe economic losses to the swine industry. ASF is caused by infection of African swine fever virus(ASFV) in domestic pigs, leading to almost 100% mortality. However, no effective vaccines and pharmacologic treatment against ASF are available. ASF poses a severe threat to the swine industry and the economy. Here we summarize potential virus-host cell interaction mechanisms involving the suppression of innate and adaptive immune responses to ASFV entry and infection. These mechanisms include modulation of apoptosis, inhibition of inflammatory responses, reduction of IFN production, inhibition of autophagy, and suppression of MHC-I expression. Insights into immunoevasion strategies by ASFV may shed light on the development of vaccines, as well as preventive and therapeutic drugs.
