苦豆子生物碱对奶牛乳房炎致病菌体外抗菌活性的研究

为进一步研究苦豆子生物碱对奶牛乳房炎致病菌的体外抗菌活性,选取金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和无乳链球菌三种奶牛乳腺炎病原菌,采用苦豆子总碱、氧化苦参碱、氧化槐定碱、槐定碱等4种苦豆子生物碱进行药物敏感度试验,以试管二倍稀释法测定其最小抑菌浓度(MIC).结果表明:苦豆子总碱与槐定碱对引起奶牛乳腺炎的三种病原菌金黄色葡萄球菌、无乳链球菌及大肠杆菌均有相似的抑菌活性,其中最为敏感的为无乳链球菌,MIC为3.125 ～ 6.25 mg/mL,其次为大肠杆菌与金黄色葡萄球菌,MIC为6.25 ～ 12.5 mg/mL.氧化苦参碱与氧化槐定碱表现较弱的抑菌活性.研究为苦豆子生物碱用于奶牛乳房炎的预防与治疗提供了依据.     

The toxicity of Cassia senna to Nubian goats

Ten Nubian goats were given oral doses of the fresh fruits and leaves of Cassia senna at 1, 5, and 10 g / kg /day. Eight goats died within 30 days and two others were slaughtered in a moribund condition on days 18 and 29. The clinical signs of diarrhoea, inappetence, loss of condition, and dyspnoea were well correlated with the pathological findings. There was an increase in G.O.T., ammonia, urea, and total cholesterol and a decrease in total protein in the serum of Cassia‐poisoned goats. Blood sugar level was reduced and the increase in the values of Hb, PCV, and RBC was due to haemoconcentration.     

Responses to Selection against Clinical Mastitis in the Norwegian Cattle Population

The genetic trend for clinical mastitis was estimated for Norwegian Cattle, a population in which mastitis resistance has been included in the breeding programme since 1978. More than 1.2 million first-lactation daughters, with clinical mastitis records registered from 1978 to 1995, bred by 2043 sires, were analysed with a linear sire model. For bulls born from 1974 to 1990 a flat genetic trend for clinical mastitis was found. However, bull sires born from 1983 onwards, selected on a breeding goal with increased weight on mastitis relative to milk production, showed consistently larger and favourable selection differentials for mastitis relative to bull sires born earlier, which had an average selection differential of approximately zero. This will influence genetic trend in the population through their sons, which were born from 1990 onwards.     

Heritable characters of the red blood cells of sheep

Extract

From the start I want to make it clear that the research work described here is the work of one of us (J.V.E.), and the reason why I am presenting his work is that Evans comes from New Zealand and presented a paper on this subject to the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science last September in Sheffield, so that it seemed appropriate that his work should also be presented to this Society.     

D-柠檬烯纳米乳对牛肉中食源性致病菌的影响（英文）

由于良好的抗菌活性和稳定的性能,D-柠檬烯纳米乳被广泛报道。研究D-柠檬烯纳米乳对伤寒杆菌,乙型副伤寒杆菌和痢疾志贺氏菌在37℃下培养24 h的抑菌活性,并在4℃牛肉中于第1 d、2 d、3 d分别检测对伤寒沙门氏菌,痢疾杆菌来评价其抑制效果。利用超声乳化法制备D-柠檬烯纳米乳。在最小抑菌浓度(MIC)实验中,D-柠檬烯纳米乳对三种受试菌的最小抑菌浓度为2.5 mg/m L。在牛肉试验中,基于MIC,D-柠檬烯纳米乳在牛肉中的添加浓度分别为40 mg/m L,20 mg/m L和10 mg/m L,20 mg/m L和10 mg/m L稀释液,结果两种受试菌最好的抑制浓度和时间均相同,分别是40 mg/m L和24 h。该研究表明D-柠檬烯纳米乳应用于食品中可能是食品安全的有效解决方案。     

Molecular and serological detection of animal and human vector-borne pathogens in the blood of dogs from Côte d’Ivoire

In Côte d’Ivoire, limited information are available on vector-borne pathogens, their prevalence and distribution. Here, we assess the occurrence and diversity of canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) in Abidjan and Yamoussoukro cities. Blood from a total of 123 dogs were tested for Leishmania infantum and Ehrlichia canis antibodies and screened for Leishmania and Trypanosoma spp., Piroplasmida, Filariidae and Anaplasmataceae by PCR and sequencing. Among dogs, 39 % were positive for at least one pathogen. Seroprevalences were: 15.4 % and 12.2 % for L. infantum and E. canis, respectively. DNA of L. infantum and T. congolense (4.1 %), Baabesia vogeli (1.6 %), Filariidae (Dirofilaria immitis, D. repens and Acanthocheilonema reconditum) (10.6 %) has been detected. Anaplasmataceae were detected in (17.1 %) and E. canis was the only identified specie. Co-infections were observed in 13.8 % of dogs: E. canis-L. infantum co-infection was the most prevalent (4.9 %). Age, breed and sex of dogs do not seem to influence infections. Village dogs were more susceptible to CVBDs than kennel dogs (PV = 0.0000008). This study reports for the first time the presence of L. infantum, B. vogeli, A. reconditum, D. immitis and D. repens in dogs from Côte d’Ivoire and determines the prevalence and diversity of CVBD pathogens. The results indicate that human and animal pathogens are abundant in Ivoirian dogs which requires attention of veterinarians, physicians and authorities against these diseases, especially against major zoonosis such as visceral leishmaniasis (L. infantum).     

Preliminary evaluation of exotic tick species and exotic pathogens imported on migratory birds into the British Isles

Field studies were carried out to determine whether ticks are being imported into the British Isles on migratory birds. During spring and autumn migration 2004, ticks were collected from ringed birds at 11 bird observatories and 3 inland Riparia riparia colonies. A total of 38 ticks of 4 species (Ixodes ricinus, I. frontalis, I. lividus, I. arboricola) were collected from 12 species of bird. Ticks were tested for viruses in the Flavivirus and Nairovirus genera, with no positives found. This data demonstrates that ticks are being imported into the British Isles on migratory birds with future work recommended to determine the quantity of ticks imported and to detect low prevalence pathogens.
