A cluster of two psittacosis cases among women farmers exposed to Chlamydia psittaci-infected domestic poultry in Zhejiang Province,China

A cluster of Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) cases was reported in Zhejiang Province, China, 2019. This study evaluates the extent of the outbreak and determines the source of infection. Real-time PCR and sequencing of the ompA gene of C. psittaci were performed to identify the cases, the domesticated poultry and close contacts. The index patient was a 76-year-old woman with chronic vertigo, and Case 2 was a 64-year-old female farmer with herpes zoster. Both women bought psittaci-infected chickens or ducks from the same mobile street vendor and raised them for 10 days and 23 days before fever onset. There were no direct contact between the two women. C. psittaci test was positive for the two patients, one sick chicken, three healthy ducks and the vendor's chicken cage. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all seven C. psittaci positive samples carried identical ompA genotype A of C. psittaci. Of all of the patients' 148 close contacts, none tested positive for C. psittaci, or developed acute respiratory symptoms. Both patients were discharged after a 4-week hospital stay. In conclusion, the source of this cluster was the poultry infected with C. psittaci, which occasionally cause infections in farmers, but inter-human transmission seems unlikely.

不同遮荫强度对草地早熟禾草坪质量的影响

为研究不同遮荫强度对新建草地早熟禾(Poa pratensis)草坪生长状况的影响,于2009年5月1日-11月6日进行试验,共设计自然光照、轻度遮荫、中度遮荫和重度遮荫4种不同遮荫强度,对干旱胁迫下草地早熟禾的生长速率、草坪质量、草屑重量、叶色值、电导率和地下生物量等形态指标和生理指标进行观察测定。结果表明,在少雨时节中度遮荫的草坪质量较高,多雨时节则轻度遮荫的草坪质量较好;适度遮荫下草坪草的生长正常,叶色较好,电导率较小,草坪质量较高。因此,可以利用适度遮荫,减少夏季高温与干旱对草地早熟禾草坪的伤害,改善草坪质量。     

仔犬主要感觉行为发育的观察

犬的感觉行为是犬最基本的行为构成,其发育是一个连续的过程.了解和掌握仔犬期(0-45日龄)主要感觉行为的发育特征,对提高仔犬感觉统合能力、行为发育、仔犬期的饲养管理水平和训练水平具有重要意义.     

生物素测定方法的应用现状

<正>生物素,又称维生素H,是一种水溶性B族维生素。生物素的测定方法很多,早在20世纪40年代,国外就报道了利用微生物法测定生物素的含量。随着科学技术的发展,国内外报道了许多新的测定方法,主要有同位素稀释法、     

Molecular taxonomic relationships of Psoroptes and Chorioptes mites from China based on COI and 18S rDNA gene sequences

In this present study, the mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome coxidase subunit I (COI) and the small subunit ribosomal RNA (18S rDNA) gene were used to determine the taxonomic relationships of Psoroptes and Chorioptes mites from China. The neighbor-joining and maximum-parasimony approach were used to evaluate the evolutionary relatedness among different hosts in the genera Psoroptes and Chorioptes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Psoroptes cuniculi and Psoroptes natalensis may be two different species within the genus Psoroptes, and Chorioptes texanus and Chorioptes panda are different species within the genus Chorioptes.     

浅谈精细化管理在动物卫生检疫证照管理中的应用

检疫合格证明是动物产品溯源的重要途径,检疫证明的管理是否规范关系到动物卫生监督职能发挥的有效性。本文从检疫证照管理的具体实践中探讨引进精细化管理理念的优势,从而证明在精细化管理过程中,从"精细思维"的养成到"索证、验证、上缴核销"流程中的精细化操作,有效促进检疫证照管理的规范化、精细化,切实提高整个证照管理的科学性。

支气管败血波氏杆菌外膜蛋白双向电泳图谱的建立

为建立支气管败血波氏杆菌(Bb)外膜蛋白(OMPs)双向电泳(2-DE)图谱,本研究利用碳酸钠法提取OMPs,并分别对裂解液、pH值、上样量、聚焦条件、染色方法等进行优化。2-DE结果表明,用裂解液5 MUrea、2 M Thiourea、2%CHAPS、2%SB3～10溶解蛋白,pH4～7的13 cm线性胶条考染上样量为750μg、银染上样量为75μg,聚焦条件为500 V,2 h,1 000 V,1 h,8 000 V,2∶30 h,8 000 V,4 h时,能获得聚焦良好、分离清晰的Bb OMPs图谱。本研究首次建立了Bb OMPs的2-DE图谱,为其蛋白质组学研究奠定了基础。
