杨扇舟蛾颗粒体病毒经口侵染因子PIF0～PIF6间分子互作的酵母双杂交验证

为阐明杨扇舟蛾颗粒体病毒(Clostera anachoreta granulovirus,ClanGV)的口服侵染机制,利用酵母双杂交技术,通过双向互作方法研究了ClanGV的经口侵染因子PIF0、PIF1、PIF2、PIF3、PIF4、PIF5和PIF6之间的分子互作情况。自激活试验证明,PIF5的重组诱饵载体(B5)有自激活现象,其它重组诱饵载体均无自激活现象。酵母双杂交试验结果表明,ClanGV的4个经口侵染因子PIF1～PIF4之间存在双向互作现象,而且这4个蛋白均能同时与自身发生互作,暗示这4个经口侵染因子有可能是以二聚体或多聚体的形式存在并发挥功能。在ClanGV经口侵染因子间的6组单向互作中,PIF5作为捕获载体时分别能与PIF1、PIF3和PIF4发生互作,PIF6作为诱饵载体时分别能与PIF3和PIF4发生互作,PIF0作为捕获载体时能与PIF4发生互作。表明ClanGV的经口侵染因子像核型多角体病毒(nucleopolyhedrovirus,NPV)一样,在病毒粒子表面通过分子互作形成复合体并在病毒的经口侵染过程中发挥功能。     

A Study on the Transmission of Oesophagostomum dentatum and Hyostrongylus rubidus among Outdoor Reared Pigs in Denmark

This study was carried out to obtain basic information on the transmission of Oesophagostomum dentatum and Hyostrongylus rubidus in outdoor reared pigs in Denmark. Eighteen 10 weeks old worm-free pigs were allocated into 3 groups of 6 pigs each. In May, all pigs were turned out on the same parasitologi-cally naive pasture, and after 2 weeks the pigs in groups 2 and 3 were experimentally infected with 10,800 O. dentatum and 8,700 H. rubidus infective larvae, respectively. Pigs in group 1 served as non-infected controls. All pigs were reared together on the experimental pasture for further 134 days until slaughter in October. Strongyle egg counts, differentiation of infective larvae at species level, serum pepsinogen, and herbage larval infectivity were monitored at regular intervals throughout. Both strongyle species established in the originally parasite-free pigs (group 1) and cross infections were established in group 2 and 3. The pigs were exposed to steadily increasing herbage infectivity of both species of strongyles. At the end of the experiment, geometric mean worm burdens of O. dentatum in groups 1,2 and 3 were 1202, 6136 and 1431 respectively, the burden in group 2 being significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the 2 other groups. The geometric mean worm burdens of H. rubidus in groups 1, 2 and 3 were 4907, 3679 and 5246 respectively, showing no significant differences between groups.

不同储存方法对鼠肉内旋毛虫幼虫感染性影响

旋毛虫阳性小鼠的肌肉经不同方法储存后,为观察其对小鼠感染性的变化,取健康小白鼠20只随即分作4组,每组分别喂食新鲜、4℃冷藏、及-18℃冷冻,及腌制＋冷藏一定时间的旋毛虫阳性的小鼠腿肌肉约1g。饲养1～2周,剖杀,取其膈肌、腿肌镜下观察是否呈旋毛虫囊包阳性。结果显示,喂食新鲜旋毛虫阳性鼠肉的小鼠和喂食经过冷藏的阳性鼠肉的小鼠都感染了旋毛虫,而喂食经冷冻的和经腌制＋冷藏的鼠肉的小鼠均未感染旋毛虫,可见,将肉类冷冻或严格冷藏储存一定时间可杀死其中的旋毛虫,减弱其致病性,降低因食用疫肉而患病的风险。     

Isolation of endophytic Frankia from root nodules of Casuarina equisetifolia and infectivity of the isolate to host plants

Abstract

A method which uses the pressure head to predict unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is presented to calculate the soil water flux in a field. Hydraulic conductivities in the primary drying and wetting processes were measured with core samples in the laboratory and the hysteresis between the hydraulic conductivity and pressure head was taken into account. Hydraulic gradients were measured every hour with tensiometers installed in the field. This method was applied to analyze the water movement at 94-cm depth in Hydric Hapludands. Downward or upward flow of water by summing soil water fluxes was examined using the water balance method. Amounts of downward flow determined by our method after heavy rain in a wet soil were slightly larger in the soybean plot but smaller in the bare plot than those obtained by the water balance method due to non-uniform infiltration. Water balance equation which used values of upward flow across a 94-cm depth estimated reasonably well the evapotranspiration from the soybean plot and the evaporation from the bare plot during a dry period. Effect of initial soil water conditions on downward flux by rainfall was well monitored by our method.     

Factors controlling the early stages of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia epizootics: low exposure levels, virus amplification and fish-to-fish transmission

Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus, Genogroup IVa (VHSV), was highly infectious to Pacific herring, Clupea pallasii (Valenciennes), even at exposure doses occurring below the threshold of sensitivity for a standard viral plaque assay; however, further progression of the disease to a population‐level epizootic required viral amplification and effective fish‐to‐fish transmission. Among groups of herring injected with VHSV, the prevalence of infection was dose‐dependent, ranging from 100%, 75% and 38% after exposure to 19, 0.7 and 0.07 plaque‐forming units (PFU)/fish, respectively. Among Pacific herring exposed to waterborne VHSV (140 PFU mL^?1), the prevalence of infection, geometric mean viral tissue titre and cumulative mortality were greater among cohabitated herring than among cohorts that were held in individual aquaria, where fish‐to‐fish transmission was prevented. Fish‐to‐fish transmission among cohabitated herring probably occurred via exposure to shed virus which peaked at 680 PFU mL^?1; shed virus was not detected in the tank water from any isolated individuals. The results provide insights into mechanisms that initiate epizootic cascades in populations of wild herring and have implications for the design of VHSV surveys in wild fish populations.     

Interaction of a Green Recombinant Bovine Herpesvirus 4 with In Vitro-produced Bovine Embryos

The objective of the present study was to assess whether bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4) is able to infect in vitro-produced bovine embryos. A green recombinant BHV-4 (BHV-4EGFPTK), obtained by insertion of an EGFP gene into the TK locus of BHV-4, was used. The presence of this marker protein made it possible easily to detect infected cells under physiological conditions, without harmful manipulation of the cells or the addition of exogenous substrates, so that the spread of the virus could be followed in real time. Zona pellucida intact (ZP-I) and zona pellucida open (ZP-O) blastocytes were exposed to 10⁶ TCID₅₀ viral particles and infection was monitored by fluorescent microscopy for 48 h. Expression of EGFP and degeneration of embryonic cells was observed in three of the 18 ZP-O embryos, but in none of the ZP-I embryos. It was concluded from this preliminary study that BHV-4 has only a low ability to infect in vitro-produced bovine embryos, depending on the absence of ZP, the amount of virus present and the stage of embryonic development. However, embryonic stem cells could be transduced by BHV-4EGFPTK just after differentiation, as shown by expression of EGFP.     

The duration of the foot-and-mouth disease virus carrier state in African buffalo (i) in the individual animal and (ii) in a free-living herd

The maintenance of a virus depends on a number of factors, including the duration of infectivity and the size of the available host population. In this work, foot-and-mouth disease virus was shown to persist in individual African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) for up to at least five years; thus, the duration of infectivity is more than adequate to cover the normal periods between calving peaks. In a small isolated free-living population which varied from 30 to 100 buffalo, two immunological types of foot-and-mouth disease virus were maintained for at least 24 years and through several generations.     

Dose-response relationships between phytopathogenic bacteria and their hosts

Theories on the relationships between the challenge dose of phytopathogenic bacteria and the quantal response of the host plant are discussed and applied to experimental results. In a number of cases the extent of disease was directly proportional to the dose, which is an indication of independent action. Departures from linearity in the relationships were ascribed tointer alia a shortage of multiplication sites, antagonism amongst the cells of the pathogen and heterogeneity of the tested host plants with respect to susceptibility. In a few host-pathogen combinations, dose-response relationships showing an upward curve were found; this is probably an indication of facultative synergism. The relationships found in homologous and heterologous host-pathogen combinations were similar. The implications of the above findings for the quantitative study of factors affecting the susceptibility of plants to bacterial infection are discussed.Samenvatting Na een bespreking van de theorieën over de relatie tussen het aantal fytopathogene bacteriën per inoculatie en de al-of-niet respons — waarbij dus de grootte van de individuele respons niet in acht genomen wordt — worden deze theorieën getoetst aan de resultaten van proeven die in de literatuur beschreven zijn. Onderschied wordt gemaakt tussen proeven waarin de proporties en die waarin de aantallen geslaagde inoculaties bepaald zijn. Verder is een vergelijking gemaakt tussen homologe en heterologe combinaties van waardplant en pathogeen.Waar de proporties geslaagde inoculaties werden gemeten, vond ik in een aantal gevallen evenredigheid tussen dosis en respons, mits een transformatie werd toegepast voor veelvoudige infectie. Dit is een aanduiding dat de cellen van het pathogeen elkaar niet beïnvloeden. Afwijkingen van dit rechtlijnig verband kunnen o.a. worden toegeschreven aan antagonisme tussen de cellen van het pathogeen, aan heterogeniteit in vatbaarheid van de waardplanten of aan een beperkt aantal vermeerderingsloci.In drie gevallen werd een naar boven gekromde lijn gevonden, hetgeen waarschijnlijk wijst op facultatief synergisme.In proeven waarin de aantallen geslaagde inoculaties gemeten werden, vond ik in de literatuur evenredige en dus rechtlijnige verbanden met afbuigingen naar rechts voor responses tot te hogere doses. De afwijkingen van rechtlijnigheid kunnen hier worden toegeschreven aan een beperkt aantal vermeerderingsloci of aan antagonisme tussen de cellen van het pathogeen.Geen essentieel verschil in dosis-respons verhoudingen werd gevonden tussen homologen en heterologe waardplant-pathogeen combinaties.De implicaties van bovengenoemde resultaten voor de kwantitatieve studie van factoren die de vatbaarheid van planten voor infectie door bacteriën bepalen, worden besproken.
