Bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents against major pathogens in swine: a review

In recent years, the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria has become a global concern which has prompted research into the development of alternative disease control strategies for the swine industry. Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) offer the prospect of a sustainable alternative approach against bacterial pathogens with the flexibility of being applied therapeutically or for biological control purposes. This paper reviews the use of phages as an antimicrobial strategy for controlling critical pathogens including Salmonella and Escherichia coli with an emphasis on the application of phages for improving performance and nutrient digestibility in swine operations as well as in controlling zoonotic human diseases by reducing the bacterial load spread from pork products to humans through the meat.

浅谈鸡球虫病的免疫

鸡球虫病是一种危害性较大的肠道寄生虫病,多发于3个月龄以内的仔鸡.尤以15～45日龄的雏鸡最易感染,近年来,球虫疫苗应用,使工厂生产的养鸡场在鸡球虫病控制方面取得显著成绩.笔者就鸡球虫病免疫在生产实践中的应用,作肤浅论述.     

甘南牧区草畜供求动态变化与调控——以阿孜畜牧试验场为例

甘南牧区不仅是我国重要的畜牧业生产基地,而且是黄河上游的重要水源涵养地.过牧超载导致天然草地退化,严重影响牧区的可持续发展.以甘南州玛曲县的阿孜畜牧试验场为例,分析了2008和2009年天然草地的可食牧草产量、放牧家畜承载量等方面的动态变化.研究结果表明,2009年阿孜畜牧试验场产草量有所增加,月均产草量较2008年提...     

Equine bullous pemphigoid IgG autoantibodies target linear epitopes in the NC16A ectodomain of collagen XVII (BP180, BPAG2)

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepithelial blistering dermatosis of humans, dogs, cats and pigs. It is characterized by skin-fixed and circulating IgG autoantibodies that target one or both BP antigens. An immunological homologue of BP in humans was diagnosed in two horses with cutaneous and mucosal ulcerations as well as microscopic subepithelial vesiculation. Immunological investigations revealed similar findings for both the horses. Direct immunofluorescence demonstrated the presence of IgG deposited linearly at the dermoepidermal junction in mucosal and skin biopsy specimens. Indirect immunofluorescence testing confirmed the existence of circulating basement membrane-specific IgG autoantibodies. Using intact and salt-split epithelial substrates, serum IgG were shown to target antigens situated not only at the basal, but also at the lateral and apical aspects of stratum basale keratinocytes. Immunoblotting and ELISA corroborated that the IgG from affected horses, but not those from normal controls, exhibited high immunoreactivity against the NC16A extracellular domain of type XVII collagen (BPAG2, BP180). Equine BP could be proposed, therefore, as another spontaneous model of this most common basement membrane autoimmune dermatosis of humans.     

野马追克喘散治疗猪呼吸道疾病效果试验

目的：应用野马追克喘散新兽药对呼吸道综合征进行临床疗效试验,为推广野马追克喘散提供科学依据。方法：将自然感染、症状典型、猪呼吸道综合征的140头病猪（杜长大三元杂交）,平均体重20～25kg,随机分为7个组,每组20头,其中第Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组用野马追克喘散治疗,分别以高、中、低剂量给药;第Ⅳ、Ⅴ组分别用麻杏石甘散、金花平喘散以常规剂量给药;Ⅵ、Ⅶ组以硫酸卡那霉素注射液（0.2mL/kg体重）和泰乐菌素（0.4mL/kg体重）以常规剂量给药。结果：野马追克喘散的治疗效果较麻杏石甘散和金花平喘散治疗效果好,治愈率也达93.3%。结论：野马追克喘散治疗猪气喘咳嗽疗效较高,收效较快,维持时间较长,是较理想的药物。     

MALDI-TOF-MS用于微生物鉴定的影响因素分析

影响MALDI-TOF-MS微生物鉴定的因素有很多。本研究主要从微生物培养基、培养状态、菌体前处理、上样量等方面进行MALDI-TOF-MS操作技术和方法的探讨。研究结果显示:进行MALDI-TOF-MS细菌鉴定,培养时间在4～24 h之间为佳;尽量选择无色、不含盐的液体培养基;0.1μL菌液是最低鉴定菌量;上样量对结果无影响;对于菌体前处理,除按照标准化前处理程序操作外,也可将菌体加dd H2O制成混悬液进行点靶鉴定,这样更加简便。本研究有助于减少MALDI-TOF-MS操作盲目性,提高鉴定质量,利于操作的规范化和简便化。     

大豆市场中长期走势向好

CBOT大豆价格自10月初开始上涨以来。涨幅已达到130美分／蒲式耳．本轮上涨行情跟大豆当前利空的供需基本面并不相符。行情的上涨最初是由小麦带动，随后则是由玉米带动，由于玉米长期前景看好，且美国玉米和大豆又处在同一生长带，玉米价格的上涨将促使农民多种玉米少种大豆．这样的前景终将导致大豆的供需平衡趋紧。因此，为了保证大豆面积不会大幅下降，大豆价格就只有跟随玉米上涨．这就造成了大豆出现本轮上涨行情。鉴于玉米价格长期看好的前景不会改变．我们认为大豆价格也进入了长期牛市行情之中．但是短期内不排除期价步入回调。下面从几个方面来论证我们的观点。     

LRH-3、PMSG、HCG对人工授精母蓝狐产仔效果影响的比较(Ⅲ)
