First record of the little fire ant,Wasmannia auropunctata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in Chinese mainland

In January 2022, we received ant specimens collected from three field colonies from Shantou City, Guangdong Province, China. They were identified as the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, through morphological and molecular analyses. Wasmannia auropunctata is listed as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and has spread from its native range in South America to every continent except Antarctica. DNA analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) in nine specimens of W. auropunctata found that they had a close genetic relationship with specimens from Argentina. This study represents the first formal record of the establishment of W. auropunctata outdoor in Chinese mainland. However, the invasion stage and occurrence degree of W. auropunctata in China are not clear to date. The implementation of quarantine measures, investigation of the occurrence and distribution, and development of monitoring and control strategies are needed to actively respond to the threat posed by this highly invasive ant.     

大肠杆菌肠毒素ST1—LTB融合蛋白工程菌株的免疫原性研究

已构建的能表达大肠杆菌肠毒素ＳＴ１ＬＴＢ融合蛋白的工程菌株ＢＬ２１（ＤＥ３）（ｐＸＥＴＳＬＴ１）及其表达产物经动物试验证实没有毒性反应。用从ＩＰＴＧ诱导的工程菌中提取的包涵体或经甲醛灭活的工程菌制成抗原,免疫小鼠,结果免疫小鼠至少能抵抗１５ＭＬＤ的大肠杆菌强毒株Ｃ８３９０２（Ｋ８８ａｃ,ＳＴ＋,ＬＴ＋）的攻击。用提取的包涵体免疫家兔后,采集的血清能够中和天然ＳＴ１的毒性。这表明构建的工程菌株ＢＬ２１（ＤＥ３）（ｐＸＥＴＳＬＴ１）可以作为预防幼畜大肠杆菌性腹泻基因工程菌苗的候选株。

Protective immune responses of recombinant outer membrane proteins OmpF and OmpK of Aeromonas hydrophila in European eel (Anguilla anguilla)

Outer membrane proteins (Omps) of Gram‐negative bacteria have been proven to be efficient subunit vaccines against bacteriosis. In this study, OmpF and OmpK of Aeromonas hydrophila were expressed, and their immune protective effects in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) were evaluated. The genomic DNA of A. hydrophila 322A was used as a template, and two kinds of prokaryotic expression plasmids, pET‐32a‐OmpF and pET‐32a‐OmpK, were constructed. Recombinant OmpF protein (r‐OmpF) and r‐OmpK were purified and were proven to have antigenicity by Western‐blot analysis. r‐OmpF and r‐OmpK were used as immunogens to immunize European eel by intraperitoneal injection. The mRNA expression of 6 immune‐related genes (IgM, IL‐10, IRF3, IRF7, LysG4 and HexB) in the liver tissues of eels at 1 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, 72 hr and 10 days postimmunization was analysed by real‐time PCR. At 30 dpi, the serum antibody response was measured by ELISA. Fish were attacked at 15 dpi by live 322A to assess the protective immunity of r‐OmpF and r‐OmpK. All the six tested genes responded to r‐OmpF or r‐OmpK vaccination at varying degrees. The serum antibody titre of r‐OmpF‐ and r‐OmpK‐immunized groups was 1:1,600 and 1:3,200 respectively. In addition, r‐OmpF gave 35.5% of the relative immune protection rate to European eels, while r‐OmpK gave 70.0%. By analysing the protective immunity and the regulatory role in the immune‐related gene expression of the two recombinant proteins that were studied, it was found that r‐OmpK was a potential vaccine candidate against A. hydrophila.     

基于线粒体COⅠ基因的中国近海棱鳀属鱼类DNA条形码

为明确中国大陆近海棱鳀属鱼类的分类地位,采用国际通用的COⅠ基因5'端652bp序列作为DNA条形码,对中国近海棱鳀属全部6种鱼类62尾标本进行鉴定分析。结果发现,所分析样品的序列碱基组成为T:29.0%,C:26.3%,A:25.3%,G:19.4%,A+T含量(54.3%)高于G+C含量(45.7%),转换/颠换率为3.76。6种棱鳀属鱼类组成5个自展支持率为100%的分支,除黄吻棱鳀和中颌棱鳀各为单系但聚合为一支外,其余4种均独立成支;分支内与分支间平均遗传距离分别为0.2%(0.0%~0.4%)和17.7%(15.7%~19.0%)。赤鼻棱鳀、汉氏棱鳀、杜氏棱鳀和长颌棱鳀均符合Hebert提出的种间遗传距离(15.7%~18.6%)大于或等于10倍种内遗传距离(0.0%~0.3%)的标准,确定了它们的物种有效性。黄吻棱鳀和中颌棱鳀的种内遗传距离皆为0.1%,与其他4种棱鳀的种内遗传距离处于同一水平;但二者种间遗传距离仅为0.6%,明显低于其他物种间的种间遗传距离,属于一般物种的种内遗传距离范围,表明二者亲缘关系很近;由于外部形态存在一定的差异,且在分子系统树上各为单系,二者可作为同一物种的2个不同亚种处理,但也不排除是2个近期分化形成物种的可能,在资源管理上应作为2个不同的进化显著单位分别加以管理。

大菱鲆心脏细胞系的建立与鉴定

为丰富海水鱼类细胞系的数量,提供更多的基因功能研究及病毒分离、鉴定工具,本研究建立了一种新的细胞系,大菱鲆心脏细胞系(Scophthalmus maximus heart cell line,SMH).该细胞系使用组织块法(tissue block method)启动原代培养,培养液是添加了胎牛血清(fetal bovine serum,FBS)、人类碱性成纤维生长因子(basic fibroblast growth factor,bFGF)、抗生素、β-巯基乙醇(2-mercaptoethanol,2-ME)、hepes(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid)的DMEM/F 12.结果显示,SMH形态呈典型的成纤维细胞样,在培养液中生长分裂旺盛,经230 d传代培养,成功传至58代.用带有绿色荧光蛋白(green fluores-cent protein,GFP)的pEGFP-N3质粒转染SMH,发现GFP在细胞中成功表达,转染效率为40％左右.使用遗传霉素(geneticin,G418)对重组质粒细胞进行筛选,得到了一簇荧光表达效率高的细胞.染色体分析表明,具有正常二倍体核型(2n=44)的细胞占64％.线粒体细胞色素C氧化酶Ⅰ(cytochrome oxidase sub-unit Ⅰ,CO Ⅰ)基因鉴定出该细胞系来源于大菱鲆.该细胞系的建立为大菱鲆功能基因及其他基于细胞系的研究奠定了基础,对大菱鲆的病毒感染途径和分子机制研究具有重要的理论意义.     

禽大肠杆菌病疫苗研究进展

禽致病性大肠杆菌(APEC)是引起家禽多种肠外疾病如气囊炎、心包炎、肝周炎、蜂窝织炎及败血症的主要人畜共患病原菌.在过去的数十年间,试验了多种不同类型的疫苗用于本病的控制.鉴于APEC血清型较多且不同血清型之间缺乏交叉免疫保护,故生产上使用的APEC疫苗研究进展缓慢.作者对不同类型APEC疫苗进行了综述并提出未来的研究方向.
