Naturally occurring bacteraemia in American lobsters, Homarus americanus Milne-Edwards, in Long Island Sound

The health status of the American lobster, Homarus americanus Milne-Edwards, in Long Island Sound (LIS) has been in decline, with seasonal mortality events occurring since 1998. In order to assess the potential effects of environmental conditions on lobster health via haemolymph analysis, lobsters collected from various sites in LIS were examined and sampled while concurrent environmental data (water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen) were recorded. The pH of the haemolymph of each lobster was tested, followed by a collection of haemolymph for serum biochemistry analysis and bacterial culture. This report focuses on the results of the bacterial sampling. The majority of bacteria cultured were opportunistic pathogens commonly found in the environment, including some that are associated with sewage and pollution. The prevalence of bacteraemia was correlated with the site of collection, the month in which the lobsters were sampled, and water temperature.     

西府海棠幼苗根内可溶性糖含量对VA菌根侵染的影响

为研究根内可溶性糖含量对ＶＡ菌根侵染的影响,以西府海棠幼苗为试材,进行摘叶和环割处理,采用酸性品红染料－方格交叉法测定力根侵染率,滴定法测定每处理叶片和根系中可溶性糖含量。结果表明,接种处理苗高,茎叶和根系鲜重均显著高于不接种处理;环割和摘叶处理降低了根内可溶性糖含量,且菌根侵染率随根内可溶性糖含量的降低而降低。     

病原侵染早期小麦抗白粉病性状的构成因素剖析和QTL定位分析

以国际小麦作图组织提供的W7984×Opata85重组近交群体为材料,将白粉病抗性分解为互作早期不同时间点的乳突指数、乳突级别、吸器指数和二级菌丝指数等成分性状,在成分性状鉴定和统计的基础上,进行遗传分析和相关QTL定位。白粉菌侵染早期乳突指数和吸器指数随时间的变化趋势均受主效单基因的调控。数量性状分析共找到34个与抗白粉病相关的QTL (21个主效QTL),分布于小麦1B、1D、2B、3A、3B、3D、4A、4B、4D、5B、6A、6B、6D、7B和7D染色体上。位于7B染色体上的QTL(QPmPI16.tn-7B)对乳突形成的影响极为显著,贡献率达48.7%,促进乳突形成的等位变异来自Opata85。不同成分性状存在共定位的QTL。成分性状的特异QTL提供了更多的有关抗白粉病遗传机制信息。     

不同育苗基质对黄瓜生长及丛枝菌根真菌侵染的影响

为探讨丛枝菌根真菌在蔬菜育苗上应用的可能性,以黄瓜为供试作物进行适用育苗基质的筛选,研究其对菌根真菌侵染和作物苗期生长的影响。试验以Glomus etunicatum、Glomus intraradics、Glomu mosseae为供试菌根真菌,采用4种基质配方：分别是陶粒+珍珠岩+蛭石（4:3:3）、(陶粒+珍珠岩+蛭石)+草炭=9:1、(陶粒+珍珠岩+蛭石)+保水剂（9:1）、蛭石+保水剂（1:1）。结果表明：接种3种菌剂后,蛭石+保水剂处理侵染率显著最低在10%以下,其余3种基质处理侵染率均高于22.61%,尤其是接种G.intraradics后黄瓜幼苗根系侵染率最低为87%。黄瓜幼苗在(陶粒+珍珠岩+蛭石)+草炭处理中壮苗指数显著高于其余3种基质处理;(陶粒+珍珠岩+蛭石)+草炭既获得了较高的丛枝菌根真菌侵染率又提高了幼苗壮苗指数,为菌根化苗培育的理想基质。     

Influence of race and post infection temperature on two components of partial resistance to wheat leaf rust in seedlings of wheat

Summary Components of partial resistance, infection frequency and latency period, were determined in 71 winter and spring wheat genotypes in the seedling stage, after infection with three races of leaf rust (Felix 3B, Clement B and Betuwe 85C) at three different day/night temperature regimes (24/18°C, 18/12°C and 12/6°C). The genotypes were split into two groups and two separate experiments were carried out. Five genotypes, SVP 84039, Akabozu, Banco, BH 1146 and Orso, conferred a low infection frequency and a long latency period and Westphal 12A a long latency period, indicating a relatively high level of partial resistance. The correlation coefficient between infection frequency and latency period was low. Race-specificity was not found. There was a significant temperature effect on the latency period. In the second experiment the temperature x genotype interaction was significant. Temperature-response functions of transformed data demonstrated that the latency periods of four relatively resistant genotypes, Westphal 12A, Banco, BH 1146 and Orso and of Sarno and Mirela were most sensitive to temperature. The range between the genotypes with the longest and the shortest latency period was highest at 12°C. Therefore, low temperature regimes are preferred to distinguish differences in level of partial resistance.     

Infection dynamics of Neoheterobothrium hirame (Monogenea) on juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck & Schlegel), in coastal waters of Japan

A recent epidemic of the invasive monogenean Neoheterobothrium hirame is suspected to have caused the significant decline of the commercial catch of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, in Japan. To clarify the causal link between parasite invasion and host depletion, we monitored the infections of N. hirame on juvenile flounder for 2 years at two widely separate bays, Obama Bay, experiencing a devastating reduction in flounder catches, and Miyako Bay with a stable catch. Prevalence, mean intensity and abundance of developmental stages of N. hirame were compared between the bays and between fish year classes. Fishes captured at Obama Bay harboured three times more worms than those at Miyako Bay and had a significantly higher overall prevalence of infection. In addition, there was a negative correlation between parasite intensity and host condition factor at Obama Bay, suggesting a causal link between the N. hirame epidemic and the reduction of local flounder populations.

规模化猪场爆发急性高热病,采集死猪肺脏病料和血清5份用RT-PCR方法进行PRRSVNSP2基因扩增,3份为猪繁殖与呼吸综合征阳性,编号为scwhn01,scwhn02和scwhn03.对scwhn01 NSP2基因进行克隆和序列测定分析,有30个氨基酸的不连续缺失,与VR2332,JXA1,BJ-4,HuN4,CH-1a,HB-1(sh)2002和HB-2(sh)2002的NSP2的同源率在74.2%~91.0%之间,并从病料中分离到2株细菌,编号分别为SNC0901和SNC0902,均使被攻毒小鼠死亡.16S rDNA测序并在Genbank中blast鉴定为副猪嗜血杆菌和大肠杆菌.对所分离的细菌进行17种抗生素药敏实验,对头孢噻呋、头孢噻吩等敏感;对克林霉素、阿莫西林/棒酸等中度敏感;对荷兰、林可霉素、丁胺卡那霉素和土霉素等耐药.表明该猪场因高致病性蓝耳病病毒混合感染副猪嗜血杆菌、大肠杆菌导致猪大量死亡.     

松墨天牛幼虫真菌病侵染途径研究

为了探讨生物防治方法控制松材线虫病的发生和发展,开展了松材线虫病死木昆虫区系调查及虫种鉴定,进行了白僵菌孢子萌发试验和人工侵染试验。结果表明,在松材线虫病死木中,松纵坑切小蠹、马尾松梢小蠹、松瘤小蠹、额毛小蠹、松墨天牛为优势种。所用白僵菌株的孢子萌发率和萌发时间之间存在显著相关,相关系数均达0.9以上。中山陵地区的几种主要小蠹均能被白僵菌所感染,即均具有携带白僵菌孢子的能力。由此推测,松墨天牛幼虫感染白僵菌的途径很可能是:某种小蠹虫先感染白僵菌,然后该小蠹虫经过二次侵染,将白僵菌孢子转移给松墨天牛幼虫,从而导致松墨天牛幼虫感病。
