In vitro culture, serologic and molecular analysis of Acanthamoeba isolated from the liver of a keel-billed toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus)

Members of the genus Acanthamoeba are usually free-living amebae and are found in a variety of ecological niches including soil, fresh and brackish water, dust in air, filters of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning units, swimming pools and hot tubs, etc. Occasionally, they are also known to cause central nervous system infections in humans and other animals. We isolated into culture an amoeba from the liver tissue of a keel-billed toucan and identified it as Acanthamoeba sp. based on culture characteristics and immunofluorescent analysis. Further, we characterized the cultured amoeba and also the amoeba in the liver tissue as Acanthamoeba, genotype T4, by sequencing a diagnostic region of the nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.     

多重PCR对猪病毒性繁殖障碍疾病的调查分析

为了解猪群中病毒性繁殖障碍疾病的流行状况,用多重PCR诊断方法,对太原市附近14个养猪场和门诊病例共1068份样品进行了猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（PRRSV）、猪瘟病毒（CSFV）、猪细小病毒（PPV）、猪伪狂犬病病毒（PRV）、猪圆环病毒2型（PCV-2）的检测,其平均感染率分别为：PRRSV 32%、CSFV 40%、PPV 20%、PRV 12%、PCV-2 27%。其中混合感染2种病毒的猪群为39%,感染2种病毒的猪为24%。用RT-PCR试剂盒对山西省11个地市66个猪场及121个散养户的1572份血样进行了PRRSV和CSFV的检测,结果PRRSV感染率为33%,CSFV感染率为46%。用间接血凝试验对61个县38个乡136个村179户的1593份血样进行了猪瘟免疫抗体的检测,平均合格率为43.9%,从而为防控此类疫病的发生,制定综合防制措施提供试验数据。     

New method using quantitative PCR to follow the tick blood meal and to assess the anti-feeding effect of topical acaricide against Rhipicephalus sanguineus on dogs

A 28-day study was conducted to assess the dynamic of blood feeding by Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks on dogs treated or not with a novel topical combination of fipronil, amitraz and (S)-methoprene. Dogs were infested weekly through exposure to ticks in crates for 4 h. Ticks were then counted in the crates at 2 h and 4 h post dog exposure. Ticks were also counted and removed from the dogs at 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h post tick exposure. The inhibition of blood feeding was assessed by both tick quantification and designing and performing a quantitative PCR (qPCR) to detect the canine hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene in ticks. The percentage of repellency sensu lato based on the ticks collected in crates at 2 h varied from 4.7% at day 28 to 48.3% at day 7. The immediate mortality rate of the ticks expelled at 2 h varied from 1.5% at day 21 to 31.7% at day 7. The efficacy calculation showed that the acaricidal combination started to kill ticks in as little as 2 h. The average efficacy reached 90.0% at 12 h post crate challenges and 100% at 24 h post exposure in crates. The inclusion of an internal amplification control was used to ensure that no significant template-derived PCR inhibition (≤6.2%) affected the overall results. The reduction of blood feeding was significant at 4 h (>80.0%) and >99.0% at 24 h post tick exposure in the crate. The high repellency rate and the lethal efficacy of CERTIFECT^® resulted in significantly fewer live attached ticks, consequently reducing blood intake and fluid exchanges.     

Ovine Pulmonary Adenomatosis in Patagonia,Argentina

An outbreak of pulmonary adenomatosis (OPA) occurred in sheep in Patagonia, Argentina's southernmost region. On the affected farm, nine animals died over a 6-month period with pulmonary lesions of OPA. In all cases, the histology of the lungs was characterized by proliferation of cuboideal and prismatic cells lining the alveoli. Inflammatory exudates and accumulation of alveolar macrophages were marked in most cases, but in six of the cases there was no excess fluid in the airways. The presence of the Jaagsiekte retrovirus was demonstrated in the lungs by immunocytochemistry and PCR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of OPA in Patagonia.     

潜伏期马立克氏病病鸡血清型病毒L-meq、meq基因的比较及遗传分析

从潜伏期感染马立克氏病病毒(MDV)鸡淋巴组织中提取基因组DNA,采用梯度PCR的方法获得MDV的L-meq、meq基因,将其插入pMD18-T克隆载体,经测序并进行了序列分析。结果表明,L-meq、meq基因同源性很高,L-meq中只有180bp与meq不同。但是采用同样的方法在发病期病鸡淋巴组织中却只能获得MDV的meq基因。为了进一步研究发病期L-meq基因消失的原因,试验对L-meq、meq基因的氨基酸序列的结构域进行了分析。结果表明,L-meq基因中含有9个PRR(proline-rich-reapts)区域,meq中含有6个PRR区域,从而推断PRR区域可能与基因的转录激活及调控病毒DNA复制的功能有关,该180bp插入序列也许能解释初期感染MDV不致瘤的原因,同时也意味着L-meq基因对于潜伏期的维持是必要的。     

奶牛无浆体病PCR诊断方法的建立及应用

利用边缘无浆体(Anaplasma marginale)高度保守的msp5基因,建立了奶牛无浆体病PCR诊断方法。特异性试验表明与牛巴贝斯虫、双芽巴贝斯虫、温氏附红细胞体、大肠杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和牛白细胞DNA无交叉反应;敏感性试验表明可检测到约200个感染红细胞。利用该方法对黑龙江省西部多个养牛场送检的140份血样进行检测,其中曾出现过高热、气喘、流涎和贫血等临床症状的"无名高热"奶牛血样95份、无临床症状奶牛血样45份,结果有上述临床症状奶牛PCR血样阳性率为44.2%,无症状奶牛血样PCR阳性率为13.3%。从而证实无浆体是引起奶牛"无名高热"的病原之一。     

雏番鸭细小病毒病快速诊断方法的建立

番鸭三周病、番鸭细小病毒型“白点病”以及番鸭小鹅瘟在临床上发病日龄非常相似,也是各个养鸭场经常出现的疾病,它们有时会出现混合感染或继发感染,给诊断带来了困难。针对这种情况,本文通过对三周病病原、番鸭细小病毒型“白点病”病原以及番鸭小鹅瘟病原核酸的分析比较,在三周病病原的特异性区域设计了一对特异性引物,通过PCR检测,能够快速、准确的诊断出雏番鸭细小病毒病。     

Detection of Ehrlichia muris DNA from sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) in Hokkaido, Japan

Ehrlichia muris DNA was detected in the blood of sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) by species-specific PCR based on the citrate synthase gene, which was shown to be more sensitive than species-specific PCR based on the 16S rRNA gene. Among 102 deer examined, one deer was positive. Deer may be a possible mammalian reservoir of E. muris.
