Effect of ammonia and nitrite on vigour,survival rate,moulting rate of the blue swimming crab <Emphasis Type="Italic">Portunus pelagicus</Emphasis> zoea

The effects of ammonia and nitrite on vigour, survival rate, moulting rate of zoea of blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus, were studied. A total of five nitrite-N treatments (26.67, 53.34, 106.68, 213.36, 426.72 mg/l) and a control (no nitrite-N added) were set up for the acute nitrite-N toxicity experiment; a total of five ammonia-N treatments (8.43, 16.86, 33.72, 67.44, 134.88 mg/l) and a control (no ammonia-N added) were set up for the acute ammonia-N toxicity experiment. The results showed that the vigour, survival rate and moulting rate of zoea of the blue swimming crabs exposed to over 53.34 mg/l were significantly different (P < 0.05) from the control group. The zoea LC₅₀ values (mg/l) of nitrite-N were 179.47, 76.56, 66.70, 37.49, 25.01, 25.35, 25.34 mg/l for 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 h, respectively. The vigour, survival rate and moulting rate of zoea of the blue swimming crabs exposed to over 16.86 mg/l were significantly different (P < 0.05) from the control group. The zoea LC₅₀ values (mg/l) of ammonia-N were 51.04, 39.62, 38.72, 24.43, 16.90, 13.42, 11.16 mg/l for 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 h, respectively. The zoeae are highly sensitive to ammonia and nitrite, and the toxicity of ammonia and nitrite on Portunus pelagicus decrease with development of this crab.     

Ultrastructure of stridulating organ of Xylotrechus rusticus L. (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) and behavioral responses to alarm sounds

We used scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe the ultrastructure of stridulating organs in Xylotrechus rusticus L. We compared the morphological structure and size of stridulating organs, the numbers of a tooth-like part used in stridulation and its presence in females and males of this beetle. The alarm sound of X. rusticus was recorded first when it was stimulated, then we tested behavioral responses to this alarm sound. The alarm sound of X. rusticus has a warning effect on conspecifics.

不同养殖模式翘嘴鲌肌肉营养品质比较

为评价池塘与大湖不同养殖模式翘嘴鲌(Culter alburnus)肌肉营养品质差异,试验分析了商品翘嘴鲌肌肉常规营养成分、氨基酸、脂肪酸、矿物元素含量等营养指标。结果表明:大湖翘嘴鲌肌肉水分含量显著低于池塘翘嘴鲌(P<0.05),粗蛋白质含量高于池塘翘嘴鲌,差异不显著(P>0.05)。池塘与大湖翘嘴鲌肌肉,除了赖氨酸和组氨酸以外(P<0.05),绝大部分氨基酸含量均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。大湖翘嘴鲌肌肉的总氨基酸、必需氨基酸和鲜味氨基酸含量分别较池塘翘嘴鲌高出2.72%、2.87%和2.50%。根据氨基酸评分(AAS)和化学评分(CS)结果,池塘与大湖翘嘴鲌肌肉中第一限制性氨基酸均为蛋氨酸+胱氨酸,赖氨酸相对含量最高,必需氨基酸指数(EAAI)分别为68.81和69.62。池塘翘嘴鲌的棕榈油酸(C16:1)含量显著高于大湖翘嘴鲌(P<0.05),而大湖翘嘴鲌肌肉的单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFAs)、高不饱和脂肪酸(HUFAs)、必需脂肪酸(EFA)、EPA+DHA含量则高于池塘翘嘴鲌(P>0.05)。试验检测了池塘与大湖翘嘴鲌肌肉11种矿物元素,其中镁有显著差异(P<0.05),重金属元素(铬、镉、铅)含量均在限量范围以内。综上所述,大湖养殖翘嘴鲌营养品质优于池塘养殖。     

非洲猪瘟自然弱毒株演变进程

自2018年非洲猪瘟(African swine fever,ASF)传入中国以来疫情得到了有效控制。但2021年以后,我国的ASF流行情况出现了新的变化,临床中出现了“自然变异株”。这些毒株可能导致感染后临床症状不典型,容易与其他疫病混淆等问题。这与国外的流行演变规律一致,即当ASF在一个国家或地区流行较长时间后,其临床表现将由急性发病转变为缓慢发病或出现新的临床表现。经过多年的观察积累,国外已经对该病毒的流行规律特别是自然弱毒株的演变进程有了大量记载,但国内目前尚无这方面的描述。为此,就ASF自然弱毒株的演变进程进行综述,从而提出加强血清学诊断产品研发、加快产业化报批进程、适时开展血清学监测追溯等建议,以期为我国ASF科学防控提供参考。     

2016—2020年安徽省高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征定点监测

为了解安徽省高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征(HP-PRRS)免疫状况及流行趋势,2016—2020年采用间接ELISA和荧光RT-PCR方法,在代表安徽省不同区域的3个定点监测县,随机采集21个规模化猪场的1 190份猪血清和1 189份猪扁桃体样品,分别进行血清抗体检测和病毒核酸检测,并统计分析时间、区间、群间变化规律。结果显示:安徽省3个定点监测县的HP-PRRS平均免疫抗体合格率为81.26%,连续5年每年均有病原检出,平均病原样品阳性率为16.82%;5年内,免疫抗体合格率和病原阳性率呈波浪状变化,2019年抗体合格率最高(92.78%),而2020年又降至70%以下;中小型场抗体合格率偏低,而病原阳性率偏高;皖中地区定点监测县的抗体合格率最低(不足70%),而病原样品阳性率最高(接近30%);保育猪、育肥猪抗体合格率偏低(不足80%),而保育猪、哺乳仔猪病原样品阳性率偏高(超过28%);灭活苗免疫猪群的抗体合格率最高(90.56%)。结果表明:安徽省3个定点监测县的HP-PRRS免疫效果较好,但抗体保护水平不稳定,病原污染面广、流行时间长。建议各地根据各自实际情况和流行特点,采取各有侧重的防控策略,将中小规模养殖场尤其是保育猪、哺乳仔猪和育肥猪群作为防控重点。本研究为HP-PRRS防控提供了技术支持。     

全球基因I型非洲猪瘟病毒流行与疫苗研究进展

非洲猪瘟病毒已在我国定殖并形成较大污染面,国内样品中发现基因I型非洲猪瘟病毒,提示当前临床中实际流行的病毒种群更加复杂。基因I型毒株从1957年传入葡萄牙后,研究人员就开始对其进行研究。多年来,国外对基因I型毒株的流行分布情况特别是弱毒疫苗进行了大量研究,但国内目前尚无这方面的分析讨论。为此,作者就基因I型非洲猪瘟病毒流行与疫苗研究现状进行综述,以期为我国非洲猪瘟的科学防控提供参考。     

湖南省部分地区病猪和屠宰猪群猪圆环病毒感染状况调查

为了解湖南省猪圆环病毒（PCV）流行情况,采用荧光PCR方法,对来自湖南省14个市州的821份临床病料和屠宰场猪淋巴结样品进行PCV1、PCV2、PCV3和PCV4荧光PCR检测。结果显示：在821份样品中,PCV阳性检出率为88.06%（723/821）,阳性检出率由高到低依次为PCV2（81.49%）、PCV3（33.98%）、PCV1（8.04%）和PCV4（1.10%）;278个样品存在两种及以上的PCV混合感染,以PCV2+PCV3混合感染最多,占82.01%;在地域分布上,PCV1、PCV2、PCV3在湖南省各地区均有分布,而PCV4分布范围较小,感染率低。结果表明,湖南省内PCV流行较为普遍,4种基因型病毒都存在,但以PCV2流行最为广泛,需要加强防控。

Effects of a Dual‐Frequency Frequency‐Sweeping Ultrasound Treatment on the Properties and Structure of the Zein Protein

We investigated the effects of a dual‐frequency frequency‐sweeping ultrasound (DFFSU) treatment on the functional properties and structure of zein. The solubility of ultrasound‐treated zein proteins increased slightly but significantly as the treatment time increased. The results showed that the DFFSU treatment had an obvious influence on the mean particle size and the size distribution. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in the size of the particles with respect to time was observed after a sonication time of more than 20 min in zein solutions. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed that sonication alters the thermal behavior of zein. Circular dichroism spectra showed a small increase in the percentage of ordered structure elements within the protein molecule. After 60 min of ultrasonication, the percentage of α‐helix structures increased by 0.9%, whereas the percentage of β‐sheets and β‐turns decreased by 0.5%. Microstructural analyses by scanning electron microscopy showed that several microholes appeared in the zein following ultrasonic pretreatment. Under the conditions investigated in this study, DFFSU treatment was found to affect the studied functional properties of the zein protein. This technology could be used to obtain improved functional properties in some protein samples.
