鹿流行性出血病病毒单克隆抗体的制备与鉴定

为了更好的研究鹿流行性出血病病毒(EHDV)的生物学特性和建立EHDV免疫学检测方法,本研究用纯化的EHDV免疫Balb/c小鼠,取免疫小鼠脾细胞与SP2/0骨髓瘤细胞融合,经间接ELISA筛选,有限稀释法克隆,获得了2株(1A5和8H6)能够稳定分泌抗EHDV单抗的杂交瘤细胞株.其细胞培养上清效价分别为1∶256和1∶512,腹水效价分别为1∶1 024 000和1∶2 048 000;McAb 1A5和8H6 的相对亲和力分别为0.9 mg/L和0.7 mg/L.间接ELISA结果显示,2株单抗仅与EHDV反应,不与蓝舌病病毒、赤羽病病毒、水疱性口炎病毒、小反刍兽疫病毒和BHK细胞反应,表明2株单抗特异性良好.这2株单抗的获得为研究EHDV生物学特性和建立EHDV检测方法奠定了基础.

An atypical case of recurrent cellulitis/lymphangitis in a Dutch Warmblood horse treated by surgical intervention

The case reported here describes an atypical presentation of cellulitis/lymphangitis in an 8‐year‐old Dutch Warmblood mare. The horse was presented with a history of recurrent episodes of cellulitis/lymphangitis and the presence of fluctuating cyst‐like lesions on the left hindlimb. These lesions appeared to be interconnected lymphangiectasias. Surgical debridement followed by primary wound closure and local drainage was performed under general anaesthesia. Twelve months post surgery, no recurrence of cellulitis/lymphangitis had occurred and the mare had returned to her former use as a dressage horse.     

Genetic variability of the resistance for three types of enteropathy in the growing rabbit

This paper describes the genetic variability for the resistance to three digestive stresses in the growing rabbit: after inoculation of coccidia (trial “coccidia”), with a fibre deficient diet (trial “FD”), and after experimental reproduction of epizootic rabbit enteropathy (trial “ERE”). Genetic variability was analysed from a sample of 48 sires, which produced the experimental young rabbits. These animals were examined on D0, D4, D11, D18, D25 and D32 after weaning (at 30 days old). Three clinical symptoms were checked: bloated abdomen, diarrhoea and mucus. Mortality and clinical symptoms were used to assess an individual response to each digestive stress. Two binary indexes were defined to describe this rabbit individual response. The first one (“Alive”) dealt with mortality. The second (“Tolerant”) dealt with mortality and morbidity. “Alive”, and “tolerant” percentages were low for the “coccidia” trial (61% and 23% respectively), high for the “FD” trial (75% and 36% respectively) and intermediate for the “ERE” trial (66% and 37% respectively). The sire effect was significant for each index in the “coccidia” and the “FD” trials. The sire effect was significant for the “tolerant” index in the “ERE” trial. Correlations between sire rankings for the two indexes of one trial were often significant. Correlations between sire rankings for indexes of “coccidia” and “FD” trials were weakly significant. Our results demonstrate that there is a genetic variability for the resistance to three different enteropathies.     

蝗虫微孢子虫病田间流行的初步调查

在内蒙古乌盟达茂旗蝗害常发区，应用蝗虫微孢子虫（NosemalocustaeCanning）后，主要优势种蝗虫，亚洲小车蝗（Oedaleusasiaticus）、宽须蚁蝗（Myrmeleotettixpalpalis）、白边痂蝗（Bryodemaluctuosum）和皱膝蝗（Angaracrisspp．）等均可感染该病。应用后的当年，混合种群的感染率曲线是双峰型，后一峰值较高，表明该病原物可以自然流行于该地区内的蝗虫种群中。1993年分别对1988年、1989年、1991年和1992年应用蝗虫微孢子虫饵剂处理区进行定点取样调查结果表明：在应用蝗虫微抱子虫治蝗多年后的草场上，蝗虫种群中仍有蝗虫微孢子虫病存在，在有些年份可形成一定规模的流行。主要优势种蝗虫的平均感染率在应用后的不同年份中有差异。田间小区试验结果表明蝗虫微孢子虫的应用剂量也是影响蝗虫微孢子虫病流行曲线变动的重要因素。     

Preliminary trial on the reproducibility of epizootic lymphangitis through experimental infection of two horses

Epizootic lymphangitis (EL) was experimentally reproduced in four horses that had been purchased from an EL-free district. Two horses were injected with either 0.2 mL of the yeast form of Histoplasma capsulatum var. farciminosum (HCF) in pus (Horse 1), or 0.2 mL (ca. 20 mg) of a suspension in saline of the mycelial form (Horse 2), both into the pre-scapular and pre-femoral lymph nodes, with scarification of the skin of the left hind limb, conjunctiva of the right eye and the nasal membrane of the right nostril. The two other horses served as controls. Nodular lesions of EL appeared during the fourth week of infection at all sites in the horse infected with the yeast form. Lesions only appeared in the lymph nodes and skin scratches of the horse infected with the mycelial suspension after three months. The control horses showed no clinical signs. The yeast form was recovered from the lesions of both infected horses. Similarly, the mycelial form was isolated from both horses on Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar. This experiment showed the reproducibility of clinical EL through experimental infection, and has laid the groundwork for the evaluation of the potency of a vaccine against EL using a vaccination and challenge experiment.     

Third tarsal bone osteonecrosis associated with chronic recurrent cellulitis in an adult horse

A 17-year-old Irish Draught cross gelding with a history of chronic recurrent right hindlimb cellulitis was evaluated due to acute onset of severe lameness affecting this limb. Scintigraphic examination identified marked radiopharmaceutical uptake within the central and third tarsal bones and the lameness improved following tibial and peroneal nerve blocks. Distal intertarsal joint collapse was observed but the radiographic changes were considered insufficient to explain the lameness severity. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed marked bone pathology affecting both the central and third tarsal bones. A subcutaneous abscess developed on the dorsolateral aspect of the limb, but clear evidence of joint infection was not established. Computed tomography showed lytic lesions affecting mainly the third tarsal bone, so the animal was treated surgically for suspected osteomyelitis involving this bone by implantation of gentamicin impregnated polymethylmethacrylate. Shortly following surgery the horse developed gastric rupture and was euthanased. Osteonecrosis of the third tarsal bone was identified, but sepsis was not demonstrated to be the cause. It is hypothesised that osteonecrosis developed as a sequel to chronic osteomyelitis which may have responded to previous antimicrobial treatment. The report also highlights the importance of gastric disorders as a differential for discomfort in animals undergoing treatment for orthopaedic disease.     

Bluegill Picornavirus isolated from a mortality event involving Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) in the upper Mississippi River

A mortality event involving an estimated 1,000 adult bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) was observed in an ice‐covered backwater lake of the upper Mississippi River near Alma, Wisconsin, in December of 2017. Macroscopic signs of disease included abdominal distension due to fluid accumulation within the internal organs as well as external and internal haemorrhaging. Histological evaluation revealed chronic peritonitis with peritoneal adhesions in all fish examined. Kidney, spleen and ascites fluid samples were collected from diseased bluegills and examined for the presence of pathogens. Bluegill picornavirus (BGPV) was isolated using tissue cell culture methods utilizing a recently developed, uncharacterized bluegill fry cell line (BF‐4), and the presence of this virus was confirmed through molecular identification. The current geographic range, known susceptible hosts as well as historical epizootics associated with BPGV is discussed. The ability of BGPV to cause significant mortality in wild fish further emphasizes the importance of monitoring both wild and hatchery populations for this pathogen.
