3株鸽源新城疫病毒的分子特征及对鸽的致病性

2011―2013年在新城疫流行病学调查中分离到3株鸽源新城疫病毒(SDS,SD01和SD02),为了进一步了解其生物学特性和遗传进化规律,对3株病毒进行了测序和生物活性分析,并对分离株SDS对鸽的致病性进行了评价。结果表明,毒株SDS基因组全长为15192 bp,基因排列方式为3′-NP-P-M-F-HN-L-5′,3个分离株F蛋白裂解位点氨基酸序列均为¹¹²RRQKRF¹¹⁷,具有典型的新城疫强毒的分子特征。系统进化分析表明这3个毒株与基因Ⅵ型NDV毒株聚于一簇,属于ClassⅡ系Ⅵb基因型。3个分离株F蛋白的融合肽和七肽重复区,HN蛋白的抗原中和表位存在多处突变,与单克隆抗体1E5、2F10的反应性也发生改变,表明3个分离株与疫苗株LaSota有明显的抗原差异。SDS攻毒试验结果显示,试验鸽自攻毒后5 d出现明显的临床症状,滴鼻组和肌肉注射组的死亡率分别为60%和70%;病死鸽剖检可见脑膜充血出血,腺胃乳头、腺胃肌胃交界及肠道出血,肝脏肿大,脾有淤血斑。滴鼻组在攻毒后5~14 d于喉头和泄殖腔检出排毒,而肌肉注射组在攻毒后3~14 d于喉头和泄殖腔有排毒。     

Characterization of Aquimarina hainanensis isolated from diseased mud crab Scylla serrata larvae in a hatchery

Mass mortality due to necrosis signs occurred in hatchery-reared zoea stage larvae of the mud crab Scylla serrata in Okinawa, Japan, and a causative bacterium was isolated. In this study, we identified and characterized the bacterium by genome analysis, biochemical properties and pathogenicity. The bacterium was a Gram-negative, non-motile, long rod, forming yellow colonies on a marine agar plate. It grew at 20–33°C (not at 37°C) and degraded chitin and gelatin. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence identified the bacterium as Aquimarina hainanensis. Genome sequence data obtained from Illumina MiSeq generated 29 contigs with 3.56 Mbp in total length and a G + C content of 32.5%. The predicted 16 chitinase genes, as putative virulence factors, had certain homologies with those of genus Aquimarina. Experimental infection with the bacterium conducted on larvae of four crustacean species, brine shrimp Artemia franciscana, freshwater shrimp Caridina multidentata, swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus and mud crab S. serrata, revealed that this bacterium was highly virulent to these species. The present study suggests that the bacterium caused mass mortality in mud crab seed production was A. hainanensis and can be widely pathogenic to crustaceans.     

Piscine orthoreovirus: Biology and distribution in farmed and wild fish

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is a common and widely distributed virus of salmonids. Since its discovery in 2010, the virus has been detected in wild and farmed stocks from North America, South America, Europe and East Asia in both fresh and salt water environments. Phylogenetic analysis suggests three distinct genogroups of PRV with generally discrete host tropisms and/or regional patterns. PRV-1 is found mainly in Atlantic (Salmo salar), Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Salmon of Europe and the Americas; PRV-2 has only been detected in Coho Salmon of Japan; and PRV-3 has been reported primarily in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Europe. All three genotypes can establish high-load systemic infections by targeting red blood cells for principal replication. Each genotype has also demonstrated potential to cause circulatory disease. At the same time, high-load PRV infections occur in non-diseased salmon and trout, indicating a complexity for defining PRV's role in disease aetiology. Here, we summarize the current body of knowledge regarding PRV following 10 years of study.     

华北地区十字花科芸薹属蔬菜上立枯丝核菌的病原生物学研究

 由丝核菌引起的十字花科蔬菜叶腐和茎基腐病在中国华北地区普遍发生,其中以河北、内蒙以及北京较为严重。2011~2018年,从华北地区不同省份具有典型叶腐和茎基腐症状的芸苔属蔬菜上分离获得95个丝核菌(Rhizoctonia spp.)分离物,大多数分离自发病植株的叶部,少数分离自茎基部。通过细胞核染色,87株菌属于多核丝核菌,另外8株属于双核丝核菌;经菌丝融合鉴定、rDNA-ITS区及TEF-1α(translation elongation factor 1-alpha, TEF-1α)序列分析,大多数多核丝核菌属于立枯丝核菌(Rhizoctonia solani)AG-2-1(74％),其他少数分别属于AG-1-IB(16％)、AG-4-HG II(2％)和双核丝核菌AG-A(8％)。温室条件下进行寄主范围致病力测定,各分离物对原寄主都表现出致病力,呈现典型叶腐或茎基腐症状;对其他作物的致病力差异较大。不同融合群(Anastomosis group,AG)的菌株对寄主致病力大小存在差异,AG-2-1致病力最强,只有AG-A对叶部没有致病力。AG-2-1对寄主叶部的致病力和对茎基部的致病力呈显著正相关,AG-1-IB对寄主叶部的致病力和对茎基部的致病力无显著相关性。     

侵染广东连州葫芦的黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒的分子特征 及致病性分析

【目的】黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒(Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus,CGMMV)是侵染瓜类作物的主要病毒之一,对瓜类产业造成巨大的危害。本研究旨在探明侵染广东省连州市葫芦的CGMMV分离物(CGMMV-GDLZ)分子特征及其在系统进化中的地位,并测定其对黄瓜、葫芦和西瓜的致病性,为CGMMV的防控提供理论依据。【方法】从广东省连州市葫芦种植基地采集2个疑似CGMMV侵染的病样以及1个无症状样品,提取总RNA,根据CGMMV参考序列（GenBank登录号：KX883801）设计引物进行RT-PCR检测,引物序列为F：CCACGAGTTGTTTCCTAATGCTG/R：TTTGCTAGGCGTGATCGGATTGT,退火温度53℃,扩增长度890 bp。将CGMMV全长序列分为前后两段,前半段1—3 511 nt,扩增引物序列为F：AAGTTCATTTCATTTGGAGAGGGTTTTAATTTTTATAA TTAAACAAA/R：AGTTCTGCATTAATTGCTATTTGGTAGGCACAGTGGTAG;后半段3 301—6 423 nt,扩增引物序列为F：GTGCGTGCTACCCCGACTCCAATAGGTTTGATTGCCCGTG/R：GGTGGAGATGCCATGCCGACCCTGGGCCCCTACCCGGGGAAAGG。将前后两段PCR产物通过同源重组的方法克隆到pCB301双元载体上,测序得到CGMMV-GDLZ分离物全长序列。利用CGMMV-GDLZ分离物全长序列在NCBI中进行Blast分析,然后通过MEGA7软件对CGMMV-GDLZ以及其他已经报道的CGMMV分离物进行系统进化树分析。将构建好的pCB301-CGMMV侵染性克隆注射接种本生烟验证其侵染性,然后再注射接种黄瓜、葫芦和西瓜的子叶,测定CGMMV-GDLZ分离物的致病性。【结果】RT-PCR结果证实,广东省连州市葫芦病样感染了CGMMV。CGMMV-GDLZ分离物全长序列为6 423 nt,编码4个蛋白,分别为129K复制酶（61—3 495 nt）、186K复制相关蛋白（61—5 007 nt）、运动蛋白MP（4 994—5 788 nt）和外壳蛋白CP（5 763—6 248 nt）。CGMMV-GDLZ核苷酸序列与CGMMV-eWT分离物（GenBank登录号：KY753928）同源性最高,为99.97%。系统进化树分析结果显示,CGMMV-GDLZ分离物与日本、韩国等东亚CGMMV分离物同属Group 1,在遗传距离上与山东、浙江和河南的CGMMV分离物最接近。pCB301-CGMMV侵染性克隆可以系统侵染本生烟,造成本生烟上部叶片出现皱缩、斑驳、凸起等症状,RT-PCR和Western blot进一步确认了侵染性克隆的侵染性。注射接种CGMMV-GDLZ分离物后15 dpi,葫芦和西瓜即可产生斑驳、花叶、突起、生长迟缓等症状,24 dpi时症状更明显。而15 dpi时,CGMMV-GDLZ分离物在黄瓜上的症状不明显,与未接种对照植株几乎没有区别;将植株从控温接种室移入网室中,30 dpi时,黄瓜植株上部叶片开始出现斑驳和花叶,40 dpi时,症状已经非常明显。RT-PCR和Western blot检测进一步确认了上述结果。【结论】侵染广东省连州市葫芦的CGMMV-GDLZ分离物与山东、浙江和河南的CGMMV分离物很可能具有相同的传染源;CGMMV-GDLZ分离物可以侵染本生烟、黄瓜、葫芦和西瓜等作物,但对这些作物的致病性存在差异。     

The M43 domain-containing metalloprotease RcMEP1 in Rhizoctonia cerealis is a pathogenicity factor during the fungus infection to wheat

Wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) is an important staple crop for global human. The necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia cerealis is the causal pathogen of sharp eyespot, a devastating disease of wheat. Herein, we identified RcMEP1, a zinc metalloproteaseencoding gene from R. cerealis genomic sequences, and characterized its pathogenesis function. RcMEP1 expressed at markedly-high levels during R. cerealis infection process to wheat. The predicted protein RcMEP1 comprises of 287 amino acid residues and contains a signal peptide and a M43 metalloprotease domain harboring the active site motif(HEVGHWLGLYH). The assays of Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves indicated that RcMEP1 is an apoplastic elicitor of cell death, and that the predicted signal peptide functions and is required for secretion and cell death-induction. The purified RcMEP1 protein and its M43 domain peptide were individually able to induce plant cell death and H2 O2 accumulation, and to inhibit expression of host chitinases when infiltrated into wheat and N. benthamiana leaves, while the M43 domain-deleting peptide and negative control lacked the capacity. Moreover, compared with the control pretreatment, the purified RcMEP1 protein or its M43-domain peptide resulted in enhanced pathogenesis in the inoculated wheat, whereas the M43 domain-deleting peptide failed. These results suggest that RcMEP1 acted as an important pathogenicity factor during R. cerealis infection to wheat and that its signal peptide and M43 domain are required for the secretion and pathogenesis of RcMEP1. This study provides insights into pathogenesis role of M43 domain-containing metalloproteases during R. cerealis infection to wheat.

为明确市售昆虫病原线虫制剂对蜂巢小甲虫（Aethina tumida）幼虫和蛹的致病力,为该害虫的防治提供新的技术措施,室内采用浸渍法、土壤法测定了5种不同品系昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫末龄老熟幼虫和蛹的致病力,采用土壤法测定了小卷蛾斯氏线虫（Steinernema carpocapsae All）不同施用时间、不同施用剂量对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫致病力的影响。浸渍法生物测定结果表明,5种不同品系昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的致病力差异很大,其中小卷蛾斯氏线虫All侵染4 d、12 d后,蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的校正死亡率分别为67.50%±0.05%和72.36%±3.14%,均显著高于其他品系。土壤法生物测定结果表明,昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫具有明显的致死作用,其中小卷蛾斯氏线虫All对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的侵染效果达100%,显著高于其他线虫品系。蜂巢小甲虫幼虫入土后,按不同时间顺序施用小卷蛾斯氏线虫All,结果表明14 d前施用均能取得良好的防治效果。侵染期线虫小卷蛾斯氏线虫All与蜂巢小甲虫幼虫数量之比大于213∶1时,防治效果最佳。因此小卷蛾斯氏线虫All具有防治蜂巢小甲虫的潜力,可在发生蜂巢小甲虫危害的蜂场推荐使用。     

番茄斑驳花叶病毒在我国茄科作物上的发生及生物学特性

【目的】鉴定烟草花叶病毒属（Tobamovirus）新种番茄斑驳花叶病毒（Tomato mottle mosaic virus,ToMMV）当前在我国茄科作物上的发生危害情况、主要分布地区和自然寄主,明确其主要寄主范围、传播途径和致病性等生物学特性。【方法】利用RT-PCR方法对2013—2017年采自我国云南、贵州、四川、海南、湖南、河南、陕西、山东、湖北、浙江、辽宁、西藏和内蒙古13个省（自治区）,表现为花叶、皱缩、畸形、黄化、坏死等疑似病毒病症状的茄科作物辣椒、番茄、茄子、马铃薯和烟草等样品进行ToMMV的检测。分别将ToMMV进行摩擦接种和注射接种,对感染ToMMV的珊西烟获得的种子及由种子萌发的幼苗进行ToMMV检测,对由健康种子萌发且在含有ToMMV毒源土壤中生长的6—8叶龄辣椒和番茄幼苗进行ToMMV检测,以此开展ToMMV传播方式的测试。在茄科、葫芦科、豆科和十字花科等6科30种植株上开展ToMMV的寄主范围鉴定和不同辣椒、番茄材料对ToMMV的抗性鉴定。【结果】我国13个省（区）共采集茄科作物疑似病毒病样品1 622份,ToMMV的平均检出率为2.59%,目前ToMMV已在我国云南、湖南、海南、辽宁、陕西、西藏和内蒙古7个省（区）发生。其中云南、湖南、海南、陕西和西藏的辣椒上有ToMMV的发生,而云南、海南、辽宁及内蒙古的番茄上有ToMMV的发生,平均检出率分别为2.51%和3.46%,尚未在茄子、马铃薯和烟草样品中检测到ToMMV的侵染。ToMMV可通过摩擦、注射、种子带毒及土壤带毒进行传播,且种子带毒率越高,对种苗生长的影响越大;寄主范围测试发现,ToMMV可侵染几乎所有供试的茄科和十字花科植物,及部分豆科和葫芦科植物。筛选出对ToMMV免疫的辣椒材料1份、高抗的辣椒材料2份以及对ToMMV高抗的番茄材料2份。【结论】ToMMV目前已在我国辣椒、番茄上发生,人工条件下ToMMV的寄主范围较广,致病力强,在我国有逐渐扩散和流行的趋势,很可能会成为未来蔬菜作物尤其是茄科作物上危害严重的主要病毒之一。
