抗犬瘟热高免卵黄抗体IHA检测方法的建立

目前检测卵黄抗体的方法很多,但IHA方法具有简便快速的优点,本研究的目的是为了建立抗犬瘟热高免卵黄抗体检测方法。采用犬瘟热病毒和犬细小病毒二联疫苗处理作为疫苗抗原,用犬瘟热病死犬的肝脏部分处理后作为组织抗原,制备敏化绵羊红细胞,用IHA方法确定了犬二联疫苗抗原和犬瘟热病毒组织抗原的最适含量。二联疫苗提取抗原的含量为0.7 mg/mL致敏红细胞时,与犬瘟热单克隆抗体反应显著,抗体效价为1∶256;而患犬瘟热松狮犬的肝脏组织抗原蛋白浓度为0.5mg/mL,与犬瘟热单克隆抗体反应显著,抗体效价为1∶128。经过IHA验证,制备的松狮犬瘟热肝组织抗原,蛋白含量0.5 mg/mL 1%致敏红细胞,对应的单抗、鸡血清均出现了凝集,阳性对照也出现凝集,阴性对照未出现凝集。建立的IHA抗体检测方法,为准确检测制备抗犬瘟热高免卵黄抗体的效价奠定了基础。     

Distemper as the cause of death in badgers in Austria

A canine distemper virus infection of badgers in a hunting range in Austria is described. A badger which was shot after showing symptoms of rabies infection and one which was found dead were examined by gross pathology and parasitological, histological, bacteriological and virological methods. The examination for rabies was negative in both cases. The badger which was found dead histologically showed signs of a non purulent panencephalitis, the shot animal showed hyperaemia and oedema of the brain. No cytoplasmatic or nuclear inclusion bodies could be observed. The aetiologic viral diagnosis was achieved by immunofluorescence. Using two canine distemper-specific conjugates a typical granular fluorescence of different strength could be observed in organ sections. The bacterial examination showed in both cases a secondary infection with opportunistic pathogenic bacteria (haem. E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa).

Research on the cat stomach worm, Ollulanus tricuspis (Leuckart, 1865)--state of the art

The stomach worm of the cat with an unusual cycle has a special place among the nematodes. O. tricuspis can develop and breed endogen as well as exogen, the infection of other hosts with freedom of movement, takes place through the ingestion of vomitus material containing parasites. As the conventional coproscopic methods of routine diagnosis have failed, the examination of gastric mucus or gastric mucosal scrapings post mortem offers itself. Intra vitam a provocated vomitus or a gastric irrigation are the diagnostic methods of choice. Increased vomiting of unknown genesis should, however, evoke suspicion relating to an O. tricuspis-infection and suggest an examination of the material. Besides the cat, dog, pig, wild cat, fox, cheetah, lion and tiger act as natural or inadequate hosts. Pathological alterations or clinical symptoms are more obvious in unusual carriers of parasites. Therapeutically only Citarin 2,5% was convincing.

Pathology of the retina]

Degenerations (atrophies) of the retina are divided into primary (hereditary) and secondary forms including glaucomatous retinopathy of retinal atrophy. The pathogenesis of inflammation of the retina is considered. This condition generally appears in association with inflammation of the choroid (chorioretinitis), but can also occur as an isolated inflammatory condition during infectious disease (distemper). The functional conditions for retinal detachment, its rhegmatogenous and nonrhegmatogenous types, as well as the consequences of retinal detachment are described. Comparison of the pathology of retinal tumors shows that retinoblastoma is not known in animals. However, neuroepithelial tumors like the so-called acquired adenoma and adenocarcinoma of the mature ciliary epithelium as well as the rare congenital tumors of the embryonic neuroepithelium i.e. the medulloepithelioma and the ganglioneuroma are seen in animals. Finally, the rare but not unusual parasitic retinopathies are mentioned.     

Experimental infections of a ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis on ornamental fishes

SUMMARY: Experimental infection of Tetrahymena pyriformis was conducted on ornamental fishes with skin wounded by acetic acid treatment. Among fishes used in this experimental infection, guppy Poecilia reticulata , pristella Pristella maxillaris , neontetra Paracheirodon innesi and cherry barbs Puntius titteya proved to be sensitive to challenge, while medaka Oryzias latipes , dwarf gourami Colisa lalia , goldfish Carassius auratus , platy Xiphophorus maculatus and angelfish Pterophyllum scalare were resistant. In catfish Corydoras aeneus infection was unsuccessful. Exposure to Tetrahymena at ≥100 cells/mL at 25 to 30°C and at pH of 6.0 to 8.0 resulted in the successful infection of some sensitive fish species. Histological and bacteriological observations suggest that deeply destroyed skin tissues from the acid-treated method are the primary factors in successful infection.     

Preventive efficacy of sodium hypochlorite against water mold infection on eggs of chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta

ABSTRACT:   To protect chum salmon eggs from water mold infection during incubation, the eggs were treated daily with sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) at 10 mg/L residual chlorine concentration for 15 min during their developmental period from fertilization to eyed stages. The number of infected eggs and number of eyed eggs were observed on day 23 of incubation. The percentage of infected eggs to total eggs was significantly lower with NaOCl treatment (1.8 : 33.4%) than in the control (11.3 : 59.3%, P  < 0.01). The percentage of eyed eggs to total eggs was significantly higher with NaOCl (85.9 : 98.6%) than in the control (66.1 : 97.5%, P  < 0.01). The antifungal activity of NaOCl resulted in improving egg survival. Accordingly, NaOCl is a useful antifungal agent against water mold infection on chum salmon eggs.     

Recruitment and effects of Discocotyle sagittata (Monogenea) infection on farmed trout

Farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta were monitored over 3 years for infection with the blood-feeding gill fluke Discocotyle sagittata. Parasite transmission is seasonal: new infections take place during summer/autumn, and transmission is generally negligible during winter/spring. There are 2 sources of infection for naïve fish-of-the-year: limited invasion when fish are in the raceways by riverborne larvae originating external to the farm; and internally, within the farm, when 0+ fish are transferred to ponds previously occupied by older cohorts of infected fish. Thereafter, infection levels continue to increase in rainbow trout primarily through transmission within the farm. Prevalence rose to 100% in 1+ fish by the end of their second summer. In O. mykiss, mean abundance reached 194 worms/host for 1+ fish (up to 489 worms/host) and 160 worms/host for 2+ fish. By contrast, in S. trutta, parasite prevalence never exceeded 85% and, after the first year's invasions, infection levels decreased over time: in 1+ and 2+ brown trout, parasite mean abundance was < 4 (maximum 15) worms/host. We present evidence of the detrimental effects of D. sagittata on the host: high burdens are associated with pale gills, decreased body condition and host mortality. Parasite burdens become overdispersed during the warmer part of the year, as prevalence and mean abundance increase. However, the degree of parasite overdispersion decreases over winter; we cannot distinguish whether decreased aggregation is due to parasite losses from infected fish (including immune-mediated parasite mortality) or parasite-induced host mortality.     

Water temperature,time of exposure and population density are key parameters in Enteromyxum leei fish-to-fish experimental transmission

Enteromyxum leei is a myxozoan histozoic parasite that infects the intestine of several teleost fish species. In gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), it provokes a chronic disease, entailing anorexia, delayed growth, reduced marketability and mortality. Direct fish-to-fish transmission, relevant in aquaculture conditions, has been demonstrated for E. leei via effluent, cohabitation, and oral and anal routes. However, the minimum time of exposure for infection has not been established, nor the possible effect on the fish immune response. Two effluent trials were performed at different temperatures (high: average of 25.6°C; and low: constant at 18°C), different times of exposure to the effluent (1, 3, 5 and 7 weeks) and different population densities. The results showed that 1 week was enough to infect 100% of fish at high temperature and 58.3% at low temperature. High temperature not only increased the prevalence of infection in posterior intestine, but also induced a higher production of specific antibodies, limiting the progression of the infection along the intestine. Longer time of exposure to the parasite and higher fish densities facilitated E. leei infection. These results show that effective diagnosis, lowering animal density and removal of infected fish are key aspects to manage this disease in aquaculture facilities.     

褐藻酸降解菌感染下海带活性氧产生的研究

以海带为材料，选用5株感染能力较强的褐藻酸降解菌作为致病菌，研究了活性氧（ROS）在海带抗褐藻酸降解菌感染中的产生及其作用。结果表明：（1）海带在褐藻酸降解菌感染下活性氧的产生具有普遍性。（2）活性氧的大量产生只发生在褐藻酸降解菌感染的早期阶段，随着感染时间的不断延长，活性氧的产生速率逐渐降低。说明活性氧的产生是海带在褐藻酸降解感染早期启动的反应特征之一。     

Lipid storage disease similar to Wolman's disease in humans in the fox terrier

In three young fox terriers a lipid storage disease is reported. This thesaurosis is almost identical to Wolman's disease in children. Clinically and pathologically hepatosplenomegaly is the most striking feature. Morphologically the disease is characterized by extensive lipid deposition mainly in liver, spleen, lymphnodes, intestinal mucosa, and bone marrow. Circular corneal lipid deposit (Arcus lipoides corneae) is of diagnostic significance. Some of the material has the typical structure of cholesterol crystals. Under polarized light the deposits consist of birefringent and non-birefringent lipids. All three dogs with lipid storage disease have one common ancestor. In addition their pedigrees reveal close relationship amongst the nearer forefathers and the affected animals themselves. From analogy with human Wolman's disease it is concluded, that in the Foxterrier, too, this lipid storage disease is caused by an inheritable deficiency of acid esterase. The mode of inheritance of this inborn lysosomal disease is probably autosomal recessive.

Physiological Response to Dolops carvalhoi (Crustacea: Branchiura) Infection by Pacu,Piaractus mesopotamicus,Subjected to Short Cycles of Food Restriction and Refeeding

Feeding strategies that reduce feed and promote compensatory growth could be an interesting tool to reduce costs in the fish production. However, fish health must be monitored to evaluate if their physiological response to adverse conditions, such as parasite infection, does not become compromised. A 12‐wk growth trial was conducted to determine the physiological responses of pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus, that were subjected to different fasting/refeeding cycles and infected with the Dolops carvalhoi. The schemes were: (i) control group fish (FD), (ii) food‐restricted and controlled refeeding group (FR/Rc), and (iii) food‐restricted and refeeding to satiation group (FR/Rs). After 84 d, the fish were exposed to D. carvalhoi for 30 h. The fish subjected to food restriction did not exhibit compensatory growth. Cortisol levels decreased in all groups within 30 h after infection. Glucose levels increased 6 h after the D. carvalhoi in the FR/Rs and 30 h after infection in the FD. In all of the fish groups, the hematocrit values were reduced after infection, and it was associated with a reduction in the mean corpuscular volume and erythrocytes. At 30 h after infection, the number of erythroblasts increased. The use of the feeding schemes does not indicate a failure of the pacu physiological responses.

Prevalence,intensity and pathology of the nasal parasite Nasicola hogansi in Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus)

Ectoparasitic flatworms of Nasicola (Monogenoidea: Capsalidae), which infect nasal epithelium of true tunas (Thunnus spp.), are not well studied, nor have their impacts on the host's olfactory organ been evaluated. Infections of Nasicola hogansi on Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, were investigated with emphasis on the relationship between infection prevalence, abundance and mean intensity with bluefin tuna size, sex, body condition and capture month, as well as histopathological effects. Commercially caught Atlantic bluefin tuna (n = 161, 185–305 cm curved fork length) from the Gulf of Maine were sampled during June through August 2009 for infections by N. hogansi. A total of 247 specimens of N. hogansi were collected, with a prevalence of 45.3%, mean abundance of 1.57 (CI: 1.21–2.03) and mean intensity of 3.45 (CI: 2.91–4.22). Neither fish sex nor landing month had a significant effect on parasite parameters. Larger and better-conditioned Atlantic bluefin tuna had a higher mean intensity of infection. Pathology associated with infection by N. hogansi included extensive necrosis, sloughing of the nasal epithelium and associated inflammation of underlying connective tissues. Further epidemiological and pathological study of this host–parasite system is warranted since impaired olfaction, if present, could adversely affect spawning and migration of this top ocean predator.     

Therapeutic effects of enrofloxacin in an experimental infection with a luminescent Vibrio harveyi in Artemia franciscana Kellog 1906

Although a wide range and number of chemotherapeutants have been developed and applied in aquaculture, there have been no studies on the absorption of antibiotics by crustacean larvae and, consequently, none has been reported to treat an established infection.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of enrofloxacin during an experimental infection with the strain PN9801 identified as Vibrio harveyi in Artemia franciscana.

Four treatments were used: (1) Nauplii experimentally infected with V. harveyi; (2) Nauplii enriched with enrofloxacin; (3) Nauplii enriched with enrofloxacin and, 4 h later, experimentally infected with V. harveyi; and (4) Nauplii experimentally infected with V. harveyi and 24 h later enriched with enrofloxacin. Survival rates were estimated after 48 h and they were as it follows: 29%, 99%, 88% and 85% for treatments 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

This study is the first one to show some evidence that antibiotics can, in fact, withhold the course of a bacterial infection already established in Artemia and possibly in crustaceans.     

Nematopsis marinus n. sp., a new septate gregarine from cultured penaeoid shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone), in Ecuador

The septate gregarine Nematopsis marinus n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Cephaline) heavily infected the midgut of cultured Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) in Ecuador. It is morphologically similar to other species of the genera Nematopsis, but it can be distinguished from them, by having gamonts with a prominent hemispherical protomerite that contained numerous refractile granules and unusual strong gliding movement. There is evidence that shrimp acquired the infection in the ponds, as larval or postlarval stages do not showed infection. Juveniles and adult shrimp had a prevalence and intensity of infection ranging from 50% to 80% and 10 to > 5000 parasites respectively. When voided from the gut, the gregarine keep alive in seawater. This gregarine have been associated with the marine environment and there are no records of this species in low salinity waters or freshwater. Results suggest that N. marinus could have most of the life cycle of the species within the host L. vannamei.
