Molecular characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phoma tracheiphila</Emphasis>, causal agent of Mal secco disease of citrus,in Israel

Mal secco disease of citrus caused by Phoma tracheiphila is a devastating disease in the Mediterranean basin. Susceptible citrus species include lemon, citron, lime and others. Trees attacked by the fungus show characteristic symptoms; the smallest twigs die first, followed by the larger branches. Eventually, the whole tree is killed. The symptoms are clear in the orchards but by the time they are visible the disease is already well established. The need for a sensitive, reliable and rapid diagnostic method for the early identification of the fungus in trees and fruit exists. We have developed a PCR-based method for the identification of P. tracheiphila from plant tissues including fruit. Any such method must take into account the genetic variability in the pathogen population. Molecular methods were used to compare different isolates of P. tracheiphila. This study found no significant differences between different isolates from different citrus species from different parts of Israel.     

Cloning of DNA fragments specific to the pathotype and race of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Verticillium dahliae</Emphasis>

Japanese isolates of Verticillium dahliae, a causal agent of wilt disease in many plants, are classifiable into pathotypes based on their pathogenicity. Because these pathotypes are morphologically indistinguishable, establishing a rapid identification method is very important for the control of this pathogen in Japan. For cloning DNA fragments that are useful for identification and specific detection of V. dahliae pathotypes, we performed random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses using various isolates. One polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product, E10-U48, was specific to isolates pathogenic to sweet pepper. The other product, B68-TV, was specific to race 1 of isolates pathogenic to tomato. The specificity of these sequences was confirmed by genomic Southern hybridization. Further analyses revealed that the region peripheral to B68-TV obtained from the genomic DNA library includes the sequence specific to all isolates pathogenic to tomato (races 1 and 2). Moreover, sequence tagged site (STS) primers designed from B68-TV and its peripheral region showed race-specific and pathotype-specific amplification in a PCR assay. The probes and primers obtained in this study are likely to be useful tools for the identification and specific detection of pathotypes and races of V. dahliae. The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession number AB095266.

海狸鼠卵母细胞体外成熟培养初探

实验用ＰＭＳＧ或ＰＭＳＧ＋ＨＣＧ处理或未经激素处理的海狸鼠８只，共获卵巢卵母细胞１３８枚。激素处理对获取卵巢卵母细胞的数量没有影响，而对体外成熟发育至卵丘扩展和半成熟阶段有促进作用。三种不同培养液（Ｗｈｉｔｅｎ＋ＦＣＳ；ＴＣＭ１９９＋ＰＭＳＧ＋ＦＣＳ；ＴＣＭ１９９＋ＨＣＧ＋ＦＣＳ）共培养１２５枚卵母细胞，培养后卵丘扩展率及半成熟率分别为５６．５％，４５．７％，４７．６％和２１．７％，１２．３％，９．５％，以Ｗｈｉｔｅｎ液较高（分别为５６．５％和２１．７％），但只有ＴＣＭ１９９＋ＰＭＳＧ＋ＦＣＳ组有２枚卵母细胞出现第一极体。结果表明海狸鼠卵母细胞与其它啮齿动物的卵母细胞一样，能够在体外培养成熟，完成第一次减数分裂，排出第一极体

德尔菲法在我国未来10年兽医科技发展战略选择中的应用研究

本文介绍了在农业部兽医局主导的"我国兽医科技发展战略研究"项目中研究框架和方法选择及应用结果。项目组借鉴情景分析法,采用应急管理模式框定预防兽医领域相关技术专题范围,辅以专家会议法确定20项技术专题和7个相关问题,然后在从事不同工作性质的专家中实施德尔菲调查。综合分析专家对技术专题与问题相关程度的判断结果,从宏观层面上了解各技术专题在兽医工作的重要程度、在实际工作中的应用程度、对现实需求的满足程度、目前发展水平,以及对经济效益和社会效益的影响程度,预测未来10年预防兽医科技的重点发展方向,提出战略选择建议。项目组还尝试以设定对照组的方式校验和调整不同熟悉程度专家的权重系数和判断等级指数。本项研究可以对在具有较快科技成长性和发散性的特定领域应用德尔菲调查法开展涉及多角度、多因素的规划、分析和预测活动提供借鉴和参考。     

新城疫La Sota、V4疫苗免疫鸡和免疫攻毒鸡的特异性IgA抗体动态变化规律比较

应用间接ELISA对新城疫LaSota、V4疫苗免疫鸡及免疫攻毒鸡的IgA抗体动态变化进行了测定和比较。试验表明，LaSota和V4免疫鸡泪液中特异性IgA均在免疫后第5天出现，8天开始明显升高，与血清中IgG出现时间相似，免疫后21天达到高峰。LaSota免疫鸡的泪液IgA抗体水平略高于V4免疫鸡；而两免疫组哈德氏腺(HG)中的特异性IgA高峰出现较迟。免疫攻毒鸡泪液中的特异性IgA抗体水平均先呈短暂的升高，之后下降的趋势，而HG中的IgA则首先表现降低，之后很快升高，5天后趋于下降，两攻毒组差异不显著，对IgA回忆应答均不明显。
