Seroepidemiological study on Coxiella burnetii and associated risk factors in ruminants at Kurdistan Province,west of Iran

Q fever is zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. Ruminants are the main reservoir of this pathogen, which is often asymptomatic but lead to abortion. This study aims to survey the seroprevalence and risk factors of this zoonose among ruminants in Kurdistan province, the west of Iran. 480 blood samples were collected from ruminants including sheep, goats and cows, each 160 samples, in the age groups of <1, ≥1−3, >3−5 year with and without the history of abortion in two groups border and non-border cities in Kurdistan province. Serums were tested by use of indirect ELISA to determine specific antibodies against C. burnetii. The results indicate the seroprevalence of 46.6 % for Q fever. Seroprevalence in sheep, goats and cows were 28.58 % (n = 64), 45.53 % (n = 102) and 25.89 % (n = 58), respectively. Seroprevalence is significantly higher in animals with abortion than in those without such history (P < 0.05). The seroprevalence in the border cities has been significantly higher than other geographical areas (P < 0.05). Seroprevalence had no significant correlation with animal age (P> 0.05). This study is the first seroepidemiological study done on Q fever in ruminants of Kurdistan province, Iran. The results indicate the high seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii in the area under the study. Therefore, doing an epidemiologically study aimed at isolating C. brunetii in the human population of Kurdistan province is recommended, so that the epidemiological aspect of this pathogen in the people of Kurdistan province be clarified and subsequently disease control and prevention programs be applied.     

Comparison of flagellin and an oil-emulsion adjuvant in inactivated Newcastle disease vaccine in stimulation of immunogenic parameters

The present study was designed to investigate the potential application of native (N) and recombinant (truncated modified [tmFliC] and full-length [flFliC]) flagellin proteins along with inactivated Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Fifty six SPF chickens were immunized twice with PBS (control), inactivated NDV (Ag), inactivated NDV/flFliC (AgF), inactivated NDV/tmFliC (AgT), inactivated NDV/N (AgN), commercial vaccine containing Montanide (Vac) and Vac/N (VacN), with a two-week interval. Blood was collected weekly and spleens were harvested after chickens were sacrificed. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α) gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed by Real-Time PCR. Antibody response was assessed by haemagglutination inhibition (HI). Cellular activity was quantified by MTT assay. Results showed that the most IL-6 and TNF-α gene expression was observed in AgF group (P < 0.01). The lowest gene expression among vaccinated groups was observed in Ag group for IL-6 and Ag and Vac group for TNF-α. The highest HI titer was observed in Vac, VacN, AgF and AgT groups. The AgF group showed the highest cellular activity (P < 0.01). In conclusion, flagellin-adjuvanted groups showed a pro-inflammatory effect and acted similarly to or better than the Vac group. Hence, flagellin can be proposed as a potential adjuvant for ND vaccine.     

超表达OsPR1A增强了Xa21介导的水稻对白叶枯病的抗性反应

【背景】前期研究发现,水稻病程相关蛋白质OsPR1A的表达受上游抗病基因Xa21调控,接菌后早期启动Xa21介导的OsPR1A较高水平表达对水稻抵抗白叶枯病菌至关重要。同时OsPR1A也受到水稻白叶枯病菌（Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae,Xoo）的诱导表达。对于OsPR1A的研究绝大部分是作为抗性反应发生的标志基因佐证其他基因或途径在抗性中的作用,缺乏直接的证据证实OsPR1A本身的生物学功能。【目的】通过获得OsPR1a-OX超表达转基因植株,调查其表型及农艺性状,并明确OsPR1A蛋白质表达与抗性的关系,为鉴定OsPR1A功能提供依据。【方法】通过农杆菌介导法,将构建的OsPR1a-OX转化载体转入到水稻受体4021中,利用PCR和免疫印迹（western blot,WB）技术分别在基因水平和蛋白质水平上筛选并鉴定OsPR1A超表达阳性纯合株系。在成熟期,调查OsPR1A超表达转基因植株的表型及农艺性状（株高、穗长、分蘖数、结实率和籽粒大小等）。在31℃条件下,将生长2周的水稻幼苗TP309、4021和OsPR1A超表达转基因植株接种水稻白叶枯病菌,并在接菌0、2、4、6、8、10和12 d时测量病斑长度。在接菌0、4和6 d时,收集TP309、4021和OsPR1A超表达转基因植株的水稻叶片,提取蛋白质,利用WB技术检测OsPR1A的表达特征。【结果】构建了OsPR1a-OX转化载体,并转入到受体4021中,筛选并鉴定到2个OsPR1A超表达转基因纯合株系（#704和#709）。调查了OsPR1A超表达转基因植株在成熟期的表型及农艺性状,与对照4021相比,#704和#709的株高较矮、穗长较短、分蘖数减少、结实率降低,但籽粒稍大,可能与结实率低有关。在31℃条件下,OsPR1A超表达转基因植株的病斑长度与对照4021相比明显缩短,结果具有显著性差异（P<0.05）。在接菌0、4和6 d的材料中,超表达转基因植株#704和#709中OsPR1A始终有较高水平的表达丰度,从而提高了对白叶枯病菌的抗性。【结论】采用农杆菌介导法,获得OsPR1A超表达转基因植株;超表达OsPR1A影响到水稻的正常发育过程;超表达OsPR1A后增强了Xa21介导的水稻对白叶枯病的抗性。

保鲜处理对冷鲜鲟鱼肉特征性风味成分的影响

为明晰保鲜处理对冷鲜鲟鱼肉冷藏期间的特征性风味物质的影响。本实验利用固相微萃取—气相色谱—质谱联用(SPME-GC-MS)结合电子鼻和电子舌技术，对经微酸性氧化电解水和ε-聚赖氨酸两步法保鲜处理的冷鲜鲟鱼肉在冷藏期间的挥发性成分和滋味成分进行分析。电子鼻能够对挥发性成分从整体上进行分析，贮藏后期保鲜处理组和对照组的鲟鱼肉挥发性气味的数据集无重叠区域，差异明显。利用SPME-GC-MS定性鉴定出46种挥发性物质，主要包括醛类、酮类、烃类和醇类等物质，其中己醛、庚醛、苯甲醛、辛醛、壬醛、癸醛和2,5-辛二酮、苯乙酮、3,5-辛二烯-2-酮为保鲜处理组的主要挥发性物质，保鲜处理延缓了冷鲜鲟鱼肉腥味的产生以及鱼肉香味的下降。电子舌检测冷藏过程中鲟鱼肉的滋味物质时发现，保鲜处理组苦味、涩味、咸味均低于对照组，两组样品贮藏6 d后，在苦味、涩味、咸味、鲜味方面均呈显著差异。保鲜处理起到了减缓冷藏期间冷鲜鲟鱼肉风味物质下降的作用，为保鲜处理在冷鲜鲟鱼肉中的应用提供了一定的理论基础。     

Clostridioides difficile in bat guano

Bats are associated with the emergence of several mammalian diseases. Their sessional migration, and tendency to form large colonies in close proximity to human habitats enables effective intra- and inter-species transmission of pathogens. Clostridioides difficile is an important enteric pathogen in humans and animals; however, the source of its dissemination in the population is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of C. difficile in bats, and to characterize C. difficile isolates.Feces (n = 93) was sampled from bats during their migration across Europe. Eighteen samples (19.4%) were positive for C. difficile; ribotypes 078, 056, and a new ribotype CDB3 were identified.Clostridioides difficile ribotypes 078 and 056 are associated with human and animal diseases. The C. difficile prevalence and ribotypes in this study do not necessarily identify bats as a significant source, but more likely as an indicator of C. difficile perpetuation in the environment.

Characterization of Collagen Enzymatic Hydrolysates Derived from Lizardfish (Synodus fuscus) Scales

Acid soluble collagen was extracted from the scales of lizardfish and characterized with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and amino acid analysis. After 8 h of collagen hydrolysis, hydrolysates had an estimated degree of hydrolysis (DH) from 4 ± 0.05 to 25 ± 0.63% (p < 0.05). All hydrolysates had angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant activity. These activity levels showed little change after treatment with gastrointestinal proteases. Results indicated that the lizardfish by-products may be improved by enzymatic treatment with acid-soluble collagen from lizardfish scales.     

Elasmobranch fisheries in the Arabian Seas Region: Characteristics,trade and management

The Arabian Seas Region plays an important role in the global landings and trade of sharks and rays. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Yemen, two countries with stark socio‐economic differences, serve as major regional trade hubs for shark and ray products and four countries (Oman, Pakistan, UAE and Yemen) supply nearly 11% of dried fin exports to Hong Kong. Yet, little information is available on the characteristics of this trade and the fisheries contributing to it. Here, we review the fisheries characteristics, trade, utilization and distribution chain of sharks and rays in 15 countries of the Arabian Seas Region based on published and grey literature, landing surveys, field observations and interviews with fishermen and traders. Although regional shark fisheries remain mostly artisanal, reported shark and ray landings represent 28% of the regional total fish production, reaching 56,074 mt in 2012 (7.3% of total world catches), with Iran, Oman, Pakistan and Yemen ranking as the primary catchers. Utilization and distribution patterns are complex, vary between landing sites and countries, and remain unmonitored. Based on widespread over‐exploitation of most teleost fisheries, current exploitation levels for most sharks and rays are potentially unsustainable. The situation is exacerbated by limited research and political will to support policy development, the incomplete nature of fisheries data, as well as insufficient regulations and enforcement. A better understanding of shark and ray fisheries will be key for regulating trade, promoting conservation and developing management initiatives to secure food security, livelihoods and biodiversity conservation in the region.
