Testing and Identification of Carp Edema Virus Disease in Cultured Koi

An acute infectious diseases occurred in a koi farm in Fangshan district, Beijing, and it resulted in mortalities of more than 50%.The main symptoms of sick koi were gills necrosis, kidney erosion and edema,which were similar to the clinical signs of koi herpes virus disease (KHVD).But PCR tests showed negative results for KHV. For further diagnosis, bacterial cultures, transmission electron microscopy studies, virus isolation and PCR tests were used. Electron microscopic observation revealed pox virus particles having a size of about 200 nm×400 nm in the kidney. 548 and 180 bp fragments were amplified from organs of sick koi by PCR method using specific primers of carp edema virus (CEV). The fragments were sequenced and analysed. The results showed that they were shared 100% nucleotide identity with CEV-H504. All the results indicated that this disease was carp edema virus disease, caused by a kind of pox virus, CEV. This was the first report on the CEV of cultured koi in China.     

Pyruvate kinase is necessary for Brucella abortus full virulence in BALB/c mouse

Brucellosis, caused by a facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella, is one of the most prevalent zoonosis worldwide. Host infection relies on several uncanonical virulence factors. A recent research hotpot is the links between carbon metabolism and bacterial virulence. In this study, we found that a carbon metabolism-related pyruvate kinase (Pyk) encoded by pyk gene (locus tag BAB_RS24320) was associated with Brucella virulence. Determination of bacterial growth curves and resistance to environmental stress factors showed that Pyk plays an important role in B. abortus growth, especially under the conditions of nutrition deprivation, and resistance to oxidative stress. Additionally, cell infection assay showed that Pyk is necessary for B. abortus survival and evading fusion with lysosomes within RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, animal experiments exhibited that the Pyk deletion significantly reduced B. abortus virulence in a mouse infection model. Our results elucidated the role of the Pyk in B. abortus virulence and provided information for further investigation of Brucella virulence associated carbon metabolism.     

蚕蛹蛋白水解技术研究进展

目前蚕业资源综合利用正作为一个新兴产业得到广泛关注。蚕蛹是缫丝过程中的副产物,富含蛋白质,含有人体需要的18种氨基酸,其中8种必需氨基酸含量达40%以上,其组成和比例非常符合WHO/FAO提出的氨基酸模式,是优质蛋白质及氨基酸来源。我国每年有10多万吨干蚕蛹可供利用,但大多被     

鸡马立克氏病病毒在鸡淋巴细胞和羽髓中的复制动力学分析

马立克氏病（MD）是由鸡马立克氏病病毒血清1型（MDV1）引起的鸡高度接触性淋巴细胞增生性疾病,MDV1在体内的复制状况与其致病性强弱及传播能力直接相关。本实验选择近几年从国内不同地区MD暴发鸡场分离的6株MDV1强毒株、弱毒疫苗“814”株和国内标准MDV1强毒J-1株,分别人工感染SPF鸡,采用双重实时荧光定量PCR（FQ—PCR）方法,检测感染后1d～28d病毒在淋巴细胞和羽髓中的复制状况。结果显示,接种1d后即可在淋巴细胞中检测到MDV1（10^2.6 copies～10^5.2 copies／10^6 cells）;在检测期间,淋巴细胞中病毒载量略有上升的趋势,总体呈现不规律变化,而且变化并不明显。接种7d后羽髓中病毒载量开始显著增加,14d～21d达到峰值,超强毒株峰值处病毒载量可达到10^7 copies／10^6 cells,峰值期病毒载量是感染前期（1d～7d）的100～10000倍。强毒株在体内的病毒载量高于弱毒株,即复制能力高于弱毒株。研究表明,MDV1国内流行的毒株有增殖速度快,病毒载量高的新特点;MDV1致病性的高低与在其在体内的复制能力的高低呈正相关。     

寡糖在反刍动物营养中的作用

寡糖(Oligosaccharides,Os)又称寡聚糖或低聚糖,是指2～10个单糖通过糖苷键连接形成的一类糖,是近年来开发的无公害饲料添加剂之一.由于具有无污染、无残留、功能奇特等优点,日益受到人们的重视,已成为当今研究的热点.在日本,食品和饲料中使用寡糖已成为常规 [1].其他各国饲料中寡糖的使用量也呈逐年上升的趋势.

不同利用方式下伊犁绢蒿贮藏营养物质的比较

2005～2006年采用实地调查与室内分析相结合的方式,对新疆昌吉市阿什里乡不同利用方式下的伊犁绢蒿根中可塑性贮藏营养物质变化进行了研究.结果表明:伊犁绢蒿的根中可溶性碳水化合物、蔗糖、淀粉、粗蛋白质含量在多年封育地、连续放牧地、禁牧一放牧地间差异极显著(P<0.01),且多年封育可促进可溶性碳水化合物、蔗糖、淀粉的积累,而连续放牧可以刺激粗蛋白质的增加;短期禁牧后再连续放牧,会引起贮藏营养物质的逐渐丧失,不利于草地恢复效果的保持.     

动物福利壁垒分析与应对措施

随着传统关税壁垒作用逐步减弱,非关税壁垒在国际贸易中起着越来越重要的角色,一种新的贸易壁垒――动物福利壁垒逐渐形成,并对我国畜禽产品的出口产生越来越大的影响。目前,动物福利壁垒在我国还是一个全新的领域。本文从动物福利壁垒的实例入手,分析了动物福利壁垒及其特征,对比与发达国家的差异以及给出口企业带来的影响,并提出了积极有效的应对措施。     

漳浦县中蜂高产措施

养中蜂最主要的目的是追求蜂蜜产量.目前国内有关中蜂技术较全面、系统的著作有杨冠煌老师的<中华蜜蜂>和龚凫羌先生的<中蜂饲养原理与方法>.但至今尚未见到有相当规模的示范蜂场的报道.我的技术措施在我地推广了20多年,现在已经在多个地区全面开花了. 今年春季的荔枝、龙眼花期,我县平均单脾产量为5～6.5千克,中蜂群产量在20～30千克,单脾平均产量为5.5～7千克.
