This paper describes the role played by FAO in the control of foot and mouth disease. Since 1954 the FAO European Commission for the control of foot-and-mouth disease co-ordinated the regional programme for eradication of FMD in Europe. One of the major achievements of the Commission has been to prevent the introduction and spread of exotic strains of foot and mouth disease into Europe through the Balkans. FAO also supports the activities of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease World Reference Laboratory located in the Institute of Animal Health, Pirbright, UK.
The Infectious Diseases/EMPRES Group of the Animal Health Service, Animal Production and Health Division of FAO, promotes a global approach to the control and eradication of transboundary animal diseases over the world. For foot and mouth disease, the strategy is based on co-ordinated regional programmes. For FAO, no sustainable progress can be achieved in FMD control over the world without addressing and supporting the control of the disease in endemic countries.
Résumé
L'article décrit le rôle joué par la FAO dans la lutte contre la fièvre aphteuse. Depuis 1954, la Commission Européenne de Lutte contre la fièvre aphteuse de la FAO coordonne le programme régional d’éradication en Europe. Un des succès majeur de cette Commission a été de prévenir l'introduction et la diffusion des souches exotiques de virus de la fièvre aphteuse à travers les Balkans. La FAO soutient également les activités du Laboratoire Mondial de référence pour la fièvre aphteuse qui se situe à l'Institut pour la Santé Animale de Pirbright au Royaume Uni.
Le Groupe Maladies Infectieuses/EMPRES du Service de Santé Animale au sein de la Division Production et Santé Animale de la FAO défend une approche globale de lutte et d’éradication des maladies transfrontalières à travers le monde. Pour la fièvre aphteuse, la stratégie est basée sur une approche régionale coordonnée. Pour la FAO, aucun progres significatif durable ne peut être obtenu dans la lutte contre la fièvre aphteuse à travers le monde sans que la question de la lutte dans les pays où la maladie est endémique ne soit prise en compte et soutenue. 相似文献
Oil crops, mainly comprised of soybean, rapeseed, groundnut, sunflower and etc., have provided substantial edible oil and other tremendous nutrients for human beings, as well as valuable biofuels for associated industries. The genetic improvement of significant oil crops and/or domesticating novel high-yielding oil crops are in urgent need to cope with the ever-increasing demand for various oil crop products. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)-based genome editing technology, born a few years ago, edits stretches of DNA in a targeted and RNA-dependent fashion. The Characteristics of targeted mutagenesis and easy manipulation owned by the technology make it have been applied to many plants and exhibited great potential in the genetic improvement of many important oil crops. In the face of growing need for oil crop products and the rapid developments in CRISPR-based genome editing technology, a critical review regarding the technology and its application in oil crops is badly required to provide references for the better use of this technology to modify the oil crops for higher yield. In this review paper, we briefly described the CRISPR-based genome editing technology and summarized its applications and future prospects in oil crops. 相似文献
To investigate 1α,25-(OH)2D3 regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein expression during osteoclast formation and differentiation, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) were administered to induce the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts. The cells were incubated with different concentrations of 1α,25-(OH)2D3 during culturing, and cell proliferation was measured using the methylthiazol tetrazolium method. Osteoclast formation was confirmed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and assessing bone lacunar resorption. MMP-9 protein expression levels were measured with Western blotting. We showed that 1α,25-(OH)2D3 inhibited RAW264.7 cell proliferation induced by RANKL and M-CSF, increased the numbers of TRAP-positive osteoclasts and their nuclei, enhanced osteoclast bone resorption, and promoted MMP-9 protein expression in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings indicate that 1α,25-(OH)2D3 administered at a physiological relevant concentration promoted osteoclast formation and could regulate osteoclast bone metabolism by increasing MMP-9 protein expression during osteoclast differentiation. 相似文献
In order to develop a rapid and simultaneous assay for H7N9 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV), three pairs of specific primers were designed according to the conserved sequences of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of H7 subtype AIV, the neuramidinase (NA) gene of N9 subtype AIV, and the matix (M) gene of all subtypes AIV. The reaction conditions were optimized, and the specificity and sensitivity of this method were evaluated to develop a triplex PCR assay. It was shown that H7N9 subtype AIV could be amplified into three specific bands by this triplex PCR, the lengths of these bands were 330 (H7 AIV), 207 (N9 AIV) and 632 bp (all AIV), respectively. Samples containing H7 or N9 subtype AIV could be amplified into two specific bands, which were 330 and 632, 207 and 632 bp, respectively. Samples containing other subtypes AIV could be amplified into a 632 bp specific band. No specific band was amplified from other avian pathogenic virus. Sensitivity test results showed that as low as 103 copies/μL H7N9 subtype AIV could be detected. This triplex PCR could simultaneously diagnose H7N9 subtype AIV, single H7 subtype AIV, single N9 subtype AIV and other subtype AIV in one tube. This assay was a rapid, specific and sensitive method for the detection of H7N9 subtype AIV. It could be applied in rapid diagnosis for clinical samples, and also provided a technical support to prevent and control H7N9 subtype AIV. 相似文献
