Interrelationship of soil moisture and temperature to sylvatic plague cycle among prairie dogs in the Western United States

Plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, is a flea-borne disease that is endemic in areas throughout the world due to its successful maintenance in a sylvatic cycle, mainly in areas with temperate climates. Burrowing rodents are thought to play a key role in the enzootic maintenance as well as epizootic outbreaks of plague. In the United States, prairie dogs (Cynomys), rodents (Muridae), and ground squirrels (Spermophilus) are susceptible to infection and are parasitized by fleas that transmit plague. In particular, prairie dogs can experience outbreaks that rapidly spread, which can lead to extirpation of colonies. A number of ecological parameters, including climate, are associated with these epizootics. In this study, we asked whether soil parameters, primarily moisture and temperature, are associated with outbreaks of plague in black-tailed prairie dogs and Gunnison's prairie dogs in the Western United States, and at what depth these associations were apparent. We collected publicly available county-level information on the occurrence of population declines or colony extirpation, while historical soil data was collected from SCAN and USCRN stations in counties and states where prairie dogs have been located. The analysis suggests that soil moisture at lower depths correlates with colony die-offs, in addition to temperature near the surface, with key differences within the landscape ecology that impact the occurrence of plague. Overall, the model suggests that the burrow environment may play a significant role in the epizootic spread of disease amongst black-tailed and Gunnison's prairie dogs.     

The Control of Rinderpest in Tanzania between 1997 and 1998

In January 1997, Tanzania requested international assistance against rinderpest on the grounds that the virus had probably entered the country from southern Kenya. Over the next few months, a variety of attempts were made to determine the extent of the incursion by searching for serological and clinical evidence of the whereabouts of the virus. At the clinical level, these attempts were hampered by the low virulence of the strain, and at the serological level by the lack of a baseline against which contemporary interpretations could be made. Once it became apparent that neither surveillance tool was likely to produce a rapid result, an infected area was declared on common-sense grounds and emergency vaccination was initiated. The vaccination programme had two objectives, firstly to prevent any further entry across the international border, and secondly to contain and if possible eliminate rinderpest from those districts into which it had already entered. On the few occasions that clinical rinderpest was subsequently found, it was always within this provisional infected area. Emergency vaccination campaigns within the infected area ran from January to the end of March 1997 but were halted by the onset of the long rains. At this time, seromonitoring in two districts showed that viral persistence was still theoretically possible and therefore a second round of emergency vaccination was immediately organized. Further seromonitoring then indicated a large number of villages with population antibody prevalences of over 85%. These populations were considered to have been `immunosterilized'. Although no clinical disease had been observed in them, it was decided to undertake additional vaccination in a group of districts to the south of the infected area. Serosurveillance indicated that rinderpest could have been present in a number of these districts prior to vaccination. Serosurveillance in 1998 suggested that numerous vaccinated animals had probably moved into districts outside the infected and additional vaccination areas, but did not rule out the continued presence of field infection.     

二重PCR检测鸭瘟病毒和鹅细小病毒的初步研究

根据鸭瘟病毒(Duck plague virus,DPV)DNA聚合酶基因和鹅细小病毒(Goose parvovirus,GPV)NS基因序列分别设计2对引物,应用这2对引物对混合样品中鸭瘟病毒和鹅细小病毒进行了二重PCR扩增。PCR产物的琼脂糖凝胶电泳结果表明2条特异性带为563bp(DPV)和1146bp(GPV),与实验设计相符,且与常规单一PCR结果一致。二重PCR反应检测出的DPV含量相当于20个PFU;检测出的GPV含量相当于0.1个ELD50,对禽痘病毒和减蛋综合征病毒的核酸未能扩增出任何条带,特异性良好。该二重PCR能够在一次扩增反应中检测两种病毒,为两种鹅病的病原检测和诊断提供了一种简便、经济、快速的手段。     

三角帆蚌蚌瘟病原的初步探讨

探讨了三个水产场三角帆蚌大批死亡的病因。取病料经匀浆、离心后取上清液,再经青霉素、链霉素处理或微孔滤膜过滤除菌,人工感染健康三角帆蚌均能引起发病死亡,并能连续传代。其症状和病理解剖变化与自然发病的蚌相似。病原病毒粒子有囊膜,核衣壳呈二十面体对称,大小80～120nm,暂称为蚌的类疱疹病毒。含毒病料置50％甘油磷酸盐缓冲液中,在0～4℃冰箱保存6个月,-20℃低温冰箱中保存一年半,仍有致病力。     

一株鸭瘟病毒的分离与鉴定

从湖北省武汉市某种鸭场送检的死亡鸭肝脏中分离到1株病毒,结合流行病学调查,剖检病理变化特征初步诊断为鸭瘟病毒感染。根据Gen Bank上公布的鸭瘟病毒UL6基因序列设计一对引物,提取病毒核酸DNA进行PCR扩增,得到大小约为416 bp的目的片段。测序结果表明与Gen Bank上公布的鸭瘟病毒UL6基因的序列相似性达到99%。鸭胚感染试验表明,感染的鸭胚在第四天开始死亡,并出现典型的鸭瘟病毒感染症状。上述结果表明,该种鸭场种鸭死亡是由鸭瘟病毒所引起的。
