Feline vaccine‐associated sarcomagenesis: Is there an inflammation‐independent role for aluminium?

Aluminium has been found in feline vaccine‐associated sarcomas. In this study, we investigated the potential for aluminium to contribute directly to tumourigenesis. Our results indicated that an aluminium hydroxide adjuvant preparation was cytotoxic and mutagenic in human‐Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) hybrid cells in vitro. Moreover, CHO cells deficient in DNA double strand break (DSB), but not single‐strand break (SSB), repair, were particularly sensitive to aluminium exposure compared with repair proficient cells, suggesting that aluminium is associated with DSBs. In contrast to CHO cells, primary feline skin fibroblasts were resistant to the cytotoxic effects of aluminium compounds and exposure to an aluminium chloride salt promoted cell growth and cell cycle progression at concentrations much less than those measured in particular feline rabies vaccines. These findings suggest that aluminium exposure may contribute, theoretically, to both initiation and promotion of tumours in the absence of an inflammatory response.     

Prevalence of Bovine Dermatophilosis in a Tropical Highland Region of Ethiopia

A study was made of bovine dermatophilosis on 540 animals at a high altitude (2400–2500 m above sea level) in Ethiopia. Eighty-two (15.4%) of the animals were affected by the disease which was more prevalent in local animals than was previously assumed. There was a significant (p<0.05) difference in the prevalence among different age groups. However, the difference in the prevalence of the disease between males and females was not significant (p>0.05). Associated risk factors included the relatively high average annual rainfall and humidity, tick infestation (76%) and management, related to the mixed crop-livestock production system. The possible impact of the disease on Ethiopian agriculture is indicated.

祁连山中段退化高寒草地土壤细菌群落分布特征

为探究祁连山中段不同退化高寒草地土壤细菌群落分布特征,采用Illumina HiSeq PE250高通量测序平台对轻度、中度和重度退化草地土壤细菌群落变化特征进行研究,并对土壤细菌群落与土壤酶活性、土壤理化因子间关系进行分析。结果表明:随着退化程度加剧,植被盖度、高度、地上生物量和多样性指数均明显降低(P<0.05);土壤理化性质和酶活性变化各异且差异显著(P<0.05)。高通量测序共得到257971条有效序列,219017条优质序列和2004个OTUs。细菌群落丰富度指数依次为轻度>中度>重度,多样性指数为轻度>重度>中度,Beta多样性分析表明各样地间差异为轻度>重度>中度。其中,放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)和变形菌门(Proteobacteria)为3种退化草地土壤的优势菌门,在轻度、中度和重度退化草地土壤中分别占77.25%、84.27%和78.66%;乳球菌属为3种退化草地土壤的优势菌属,在轻度、中度和重度退化草地土壤中分别占14.29%、38.84%和7.39%。冗余分析表明:土壤酶活性和土壤理化性质均对细菌群落的组成具有影响,其中土壤pH是影响土壤细菌群落分布的主要驱动因子。祁连山中段不同退化高寒草地土壤细菌群落的变化主要受土壤理化性质和酶活性的影响。     

入侵种西花蓟马与本地近缘种花蓟马的双基因鉴定

快速准确的害虫种类识别是有效筛选天敌昆虫开展靶向性生物防控的关键。入侵种西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis与本地种花蓟马F.intonsa常同域同期同种寄主上发生,因体型小、形态相似,难以快速准确鉴定。本研究以mt DNA COI与r DNA ITS2基因为标记对我国10个采样点的西花蓟马和花蓟马开展分子鉴定研究。结果显示,当以COI或ITS2基因为靶标时,西花蓟马与花蓟马间的平均遗传距离分别为0.221和0.113,是种内遗传距离的22.1和18.8倍,且种内、种间遗传距离间无重叠,并在系统发育树上聚为独立的分支,表明2种基因均可准确区分西花蓟马和花蓟马。此外,基于COI基因构建的系统发育树,西花蓟马的各单倍型聚为了2个亚分支,并分别对应温室品系和羽扇豆品系,表明COI基因还可用于西花蓟马品系的识别鉴定。研究结果对近缘种花蓟马的快速鉴定、专食性天敌昆虫的筛选,及其生防效果评价具有重要意义。
