RNA干扰对大鲵蛙病毒主要功能基因表达及其增殖的影响

采用q PCR与病毒滴度测定观察RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)对大鲵蛙病毒(Chinese giant salamander ranavirus,CGSRV)主要衣壳蛋白(major capsid protein,MCP)、甲基转移酶(methyltransferases,MTases)、DNA多聚酶(DNA polymerase)基因表达与病毒增殖的影响。结果表明,小干扰RNA(small interfering RNA,siRNA)能推迟鲤鱼上皮瘤细胞(epithelioma papillosum cyprini,EPC)出现病变,且病变程度也较对照组轻。在各功能基因表达量上,NC-FAM对照组与阴性对照组差异不显著(P0.05);而干扰组的干扰率极显著高于阴性对照组,其中siR-DP-1组siRNA对MCP基因的干扰率为79%,极显著高于其余组(P0.01);siR-MT-1、siR-MT-2组siRNA对MTases基因的干扰率为77%,极显著高于其余组(P0.01);siR-DP-1组siRNA对DNA polymerase基因的干扰率为79%,极显著高于其余组(P0.01)。干扰实验组病毒滴度与NC-FAM对照组和阴性对照组相比也有不同程度的降低。阴性对照组lg TCID50为8.362,NC-FAM对照组lg TCID50为7.848,siR-MCP、siR-MT、siR-DP实验组最低lg TCID50分别为5.764、5.317、5.362。证实RNAi能够抑制CGSRV主要功能基因的表达并影响病毒的复制。     

Management of Bemisia tabaci biotype B with botanical and mineral oils

While the toxic effects of neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, on Bemisia tabaci Genn. are well documented, few studies have evaluated other oils. We compared neem, sesame, citrus, castor, vegetable and mineral oils (1% v/v) to a chemical standard thiamethoxam (0.17 g A.I./L) against B. tabaci biotype B life stages on dry bean plants Phaseolus vulgaris L. under screenhouse conditions. Oils and thiamethoxam exhibited low ovicidal activity (<10% egg mortality). However, significant mortality occurred due to the residual activity to 1st instars that emerged from treated eggs. Overall, impacts of egg treatments were greatest for thiamethoxam (77% total mortality for eggs and 1st instars) compared with oils which were statistically similar (22–29% mortality). Larvicidal effect of oils (against 2nd instars) was greater than ovicidal effects. Highest nymphal mortality (>81%) was achieved with castor, sesame, citrus and neem oils, which was significantly greater than for thiamethoxam (65% mortality). Adult whiteflies were exposed to fresh and aged spray residues, rather than being sprayed directly. In this case, comparatively lower efficacy was achieved from oil treatments compared with thiamethoxam. While some mortality was observed from fresh residues of slow drying oils (up to 41% for castor oil), no significant control from any oil residues >3 days old was observed in our tests. The different route of exposure against adults likely reduced the effectiveness of oil treatments which act directly on the cuticle. In trials with viruliferous adult whiteflies exposed to fresh residues, none of the tested products completely prevented transmission of bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV). However, we noted reduced virus severity ratings from plants pre-treated with castor and citrus oil. We conclude that castor, sesame, citrus and neem oils have the potential to be used in whitefly management programs.     

大豆对大豆花叶病毒SC18株系的抗性遗传和基因定位

大豆花叶病毒(soybean mosaic virus,SMV)病是我国大豆生产上的一种主要病毒病害,SMV株系SC18是我国东北和南方两大产区的优势株系,在黄淮大豆产区亦零星发生。本研究对5个抗×感杂交组合衍生后代分离群体接种SC18后,发现各组合F_1均抗病,F_2表现3∶1(抗∶感)分离比,F_(2∶3)表现1∶2∶1(抗∶分离∶感)的分离比,表明5个抗病亲本(中作00-683、滨豆95-20、东大2号、中品661和RN-9)对SC18的抗性由一对显性基因控制。抗×抗杂交组合"中作00-683×东大2号"衍生后代分离群体接种SC18,F_2出现15∶1(抗∶感)的分离比,表明中作00-683与东大2号可能各携带一对显性基因,控制对SC18的抗性,且独立遗传;抗×抗杂交组合"中作00-683×滨豆95-20"的F_1、F_2和F_(2∶3)在接种SC18后均未检测出感病株,表明中作00-683与滨豆95-20所携带的对SC18的抗性基因是等位的。利用RN-9×7605重组自交家系将RN-9对SC18的抗病基因Rsc18定位到大豆6号染色体(C2连锁群)SSR标记Satt286和Satt277之间,遗传距离为6.12和4.69 cM。

Changes in the gut microbiome of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) in response to White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection

Intestinal microorganisms play important roles in maintaining host health, but their functions in aquatic animal hosts have yet to be fully elucidated. The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, is one such example. We attempted to identify the shift of gut microbiota that occurred in response to infection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), an emerging viral pathogen in the crab aquaculture industry. The microbiota may exert some control over aspects of the viral pathogenesis. We investigated the changes in composition and structure of the crab gut microbiome during various WSSV infection stages of 6 h post‐infection (hpi) and 48 hpi, using a 16S rRNA approach on the MiSeq Illumina sequencing platform. Four phyla (Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Tenericutes and Bacteroidetes) were most dominant in the gut of E. sinensis regardless of the WSSV infection stages. However, further analysis revealed that over 12 bacterial phyla, 44 orders and 68 families were significantly different in abundance at various states of WSSV infection. Several intriguing aspects of E. sinensis gut bacteria that had not been previously reported were also uncovered, such as class Mollicutes was dominant here, but absent in crabs from Yangtze River estuary and Chongming Islands. Overall, this study provided the first evidence that changes in gut microbiome were closely associated with the severity of WSSV infection and that indicator taxa could be used to evaluate the crab health status.

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。     

Rapid sequence modification in the highly polymorphic region (HPR) of the hemagglutinin gene of the infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) suggests intra-segmental template switching recombination

The ISAV has a genome composed of eight segments of (–)ssRNA, segment 6 codes for the hemagglutinin–esterase protein, and has the most variable region of the genome, the highly polymorphic region (HPR), which is unique among orthomyxoviruses. The HPR has been associated with virulence, infectivity and pathogenicity. The full length of the HPR is called HPR0 and the strain with this HPR is avirulent, in contrast to strains with deleted HPR that are virulent to varying degrees. The molecular mechanism that gives rise to the different HPRs remains unclear. Here, we studied in vitro the evolution of reassortant recombinant ISAV (rISAV) in Atlantic salmon head kidney (ASK) cells. To this end, we rescued and cultivated a set of rISAV with different segment 6-HPR genotypes using a reverse genetics system and then sequencing HPR regions of the viruses. Our results show rapid multiple recombination events in ISAV, with sequence insertions and deletions in the HPR, indicating a dynamic process. Inserted sequences can be found in four segments of the ISAV genome (segments 1, 5, 6, and 8). The results suggest intra-segmental heterologous recombination, probably by class I and class II template switching, similar to the proposed segment 5 recombination mechanism.

不同处理方式对蔬菜种传病毒病的消毒效果评价

为了研究不同种子处理对种子传播病毒的灭活效果,试验以番茄、辣椒、甜瓜、南瓜种子样本中被番茄花叶病毒(ToMV)、烟草花叶病毒(TMV)、黄瓜花叶瓜病毒(CMV)感染的种子为研究对象,经过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)测试选择出研究材料,采用7种病毒失活处理方法,分别为醋酸、过氧化氢、盐酸、次氯酸钠浸种,干热处理,温汤浸种和臭氧熏蒸处理。结果发现,能有效减少病毒浓度的处理为盐酸浸种、干热处理、温汤浸种(65℃)和臭氧(10 g/m3)处理,分别能将种子传播病毒的浓度平均降低51%、50%、42%和32%。其他灭活方法治疗效果较差,病毒浓度平均降低了12%~27%。盐酸浸种和干热处理是最有效的方法,对种子出芽率和活力没有影响。
