Physiological properties and classification of strains of Treponema sp. isolated from pigs in poland

Fifty-one treponemas were isolated from pigs. Twenty-three isolates with typical morphology and growth characteristic were beta hemolytic, enteropathogenic, produced indole and with exception of three strains did not ferment fructose. These strains were classified as typical T. hyodysenteriae and were usually isolated from pigs with symptoms of mucohemorrhagic diarrhoea. The seventeen other isolates were weakly beta hemolytic after 48 h incubation, enteropathogenic, 12 out of 17 produced indole, 10 out 17 fermented fructose. These strains were usually isolated from pigs with symptoms of gray-green diarrhoea and classified as T. hyodysenteriae 2 biotype or intermediate type. They may be compared with Treponema sp. isolated by Taylor et al. Eleven non enteropathogenic strains showed typical characteristic for T. innocens. Gas chromatography analysis of the fatty acids production from glucose, showed that all isolated treponemas produced acetate and butyrate. Typical T. hyodysenteriae produced additionally propionate. Strains of T. hyodysenteriae biotype 2 produced propionate or isobutyrate as well.     

猪场生物安全体系中十个通道的设计应用

2018年8月开始,非洲猪瘟在我国快速多点发生,该病是高度接触性传染性疾病,目前无有效的疫苗和药物控制,各大公司和养殖户开始了猪场生物安全体系的升级改造。两年后我国大部分猪场的成功复产,全国生猪出栏量的大幅提升,证明了生物安全措施巨大效力;同时在严格的生物安全措施下创新了精准剔除、快速复产等操作,进一步证明了生物安全措施的有效作用。文章主要介绍猪场生物安全体系中入口(大门)和出口(后门)最为关键防线处的通道设计,方便所有的生物安全操作能够高效落实,切断病原轻易进出猪场的途径。     

福州四个乳牛场乳牛流行热的调查报告

：１９９１年９～１０月．福州市北门等四个乳牛场流行牛流行热。成年、怀孕后期、高产的母牛发病率和死亡率高，临床上有呼吸、消化、神经等３种症状，病理变化主要是肺出血、肺水肿和肺气肿，达３．８％。临床上常出现２～３次重复感染。在治疗方面，对于严重缺氧病牛，采用３％过氧水溶在１０～２０％葡萄糖注射液内滴注，比用氧气瓶经鼻吸入或皮下注射补氧，更易在基层推广应用。     

Characterisation of three novel canine osteosarcoma cell lines producing high levels of matrix metalloproteinases

Three canine osteosarcoma cell lines were established from spontaneous pelvic and radial osteosarcomas. The cell populations cultured exhibited characteristics of malignancy and consisted of adherent, pleomorphic, mostly large spindle-shaped or polyhedral cells, characterised by the presence of numerous cytoplasmic granules and vacuoles. The main ultrastructural features included the presence of abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and numerous cytoplasmic vesicles, deposit vacuoles and small cytoplasmic protrusions. Zymography showed that the cell lines produce high levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9, enzymes directly involved in crucial aspects of the metastatic process. Consistent with their osteoblastic lineage and malignant phenotype, all cell lines were immunoreactive to vimentin, osteopontin, PCNA, p53, MMP-2 and MMP-9, while they were negative for cytokeratin, desmin, SMA, Factor VIII, NSE, GFAP, Rb and p21 protein. No retroviral particles or RNA were detected ultrastructurally or with RT-PCR, although the possibility of viral involvement in osteosarcoma cannot be excluded. The new cell lines provide excellent in vitro models that may allow further studies on the pathobiology of canine osteosarcoma to be undertaken.     

断奶仔猪源产Vero细胞毒素大肠杆菌eaeA基因的检测

根据文献合成了一对引物,利用PCR方法检测了84株来自断奶仔猪水肿病例的产Vero细胞毒素大肠杆菌(VerotoxigenicEscherichiacoli,VTEC)的LEE(locusofenterocyteeffacement)毒力岛的eaeA基因,以了解携带LEE毒力岛的大肠埃希菌在江苏省断奶仔猪群VTEC中的流行状况。结果发现:从其中17株中可扩增到预期的DNA片断,证实它们携带LEE毒力岛,携带率为20.24%。数据分析提示:LEE毒力岛的分布不仅限于EPEC和EHEC,在断奶仔猪源VTEC中也有一定的分布,并可能成为重要的毒力因子。     

龙岩地区部分猪场弓形虫病的血清学调查

通过间接血凝(IHA)试验对采自龙岩地区12个猪场的2055份猪血清进行弓形虫病的抗体检测,结果表明猪弓形虫病在龙岩地区呈散发性流行。样品阳性率为5.99%,各猪场之间的抗体阳性率有一定差异,最高为16.22%,最低为0。在母猪群中随着胎次的增加,弓形虫病抗体阳性率也升高,由1～2胎的6.72%上升到5胎以上的12.18%;育肥猪群总体弓形虫病抗体阳性率较低,由哺乳仔猪的10.94%缓慢降至育肥猪的1.62%,呈现出随日龄增加弓形虫病抗体阳性率逐渐降低的趋势。     

Reactivity of workshop monoclonal antibodies on paraformaldehyde-fixed porcine blood mononuclear cells

One hundred sixty-four monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of the second international swine CD workshop were tested for their reactivity with porcine blood mononuclear cells before and after fixing the cells with varying concentrations of paraformaldehyde (PFA) (1, 5 and 10 g l⁻¹). A total of 38 (out of 134) positive reacting mAbs were significantly affected in their binding behavior on fixed cells. Modulation was seen as reduction in binding (staining intensity and/or % positive cells, n=18) or in elevated values (n=20). Modified mAb binding occurred after fixing cells with 5 to 10 g l⁻¹ PFA.

蜜蜂畸翅病毒SYBR GreenⅠ荧光定量RT-PCR检测方法的建立

为建立蜜蜂畸翅病毒SYBR GreenⅠ荧光定量RT-PCR检测方法,通过构建蜜蜂畸翅病毒(DWV)RDRP基因部分序列的标准质粒作为模板,进行了标准曲线的建立,并对所建立方法进行了特异性和灵敏度测试。结果表明:所建立的荧光定量RT-PCR扩增效率E=100%,R2=0.999,最低检出量为100个拷贝;该方法仅能检出DWV病毒,而不能检测出蜜蜂黑王台病毒、囊状幼虫病毒,具有很好的特异性。表明已成功建立了特异灵敏的DWV实时荧光定量RT-PCR检测方法。采用所建方法对昆明部分蜂场进行了DWV感染状况调查,结果表明昆明地区东方蜜蜂带毒率为54%,提示DWV病毒在昆明地区东方蜜蜂中存在流行。     

Poxviruses as vaccine vectors

The discovery of Jenner in 1798 founded the science of immunology and eventually led to smallpox eradication from the earth in 1980 after a world-wide vaccination campaign with vaccinia virus (another poxvirus) and paradoxically, despite the eradication of smallpox, there has been an explosion of interest in vaccinia virus in the eighties. This interest has stemmed in part from the application of molecular genetics to clone and express foreign genes from recombinant vaccinia viruses. Vaccinia is also gaining renewed interest due to bioterrorism.

These recombinant viruses have multiple applications in research and vaccinology and led to the development of vectored vaccines, such as the recombinant vaccinia rabies vaccine used to eliminate rabies in Western Europe and, more recently, in the United States. Secondly, alternative poxvirus vectors, such as avipox viruses, were proved to be even safer and efficacious non-replicating vectors (suiciole vectors) when used in non-avian species.
