方斑东风螺肉壳分离病病因的初步研究

螺肉与螺壳分离病是方斑东风螺养殖中的常见病害,主要发生在壳高0．5cm以下的稚、幼螺阶段,严重时可造成螺苗在短时间内大量死亡。本文报道了方斑东风螺中间培育过程中由于养殖水体中混入以婆罗异剑水蚤（Apocyclops borneoensis）为主的桡足类对稚、幼螺的攻击,导致稚、幼螺受伤部位发生溃疡性病变,进而诱发稚、幼螺肉壳分离疾病发生的镜检检查结果。通过采取杀灭螺池中桡足类的措施后,病情很快得到控制,研究结果验证了桡足类对方斑东风螺稚、幼螺的危害性。     

水稻类病斑突变体的初步研究

粳稻秀水11经γ射线辐照诱变后获得19个类病斑突变体(xsl1～19),均属全生育期类病斑型,突变体长至分蘖期后类病斑不再变大,不导致叶片枯死,不影响植株抽穗、结实。苗期昼最高气温高于32℃后,除xsl19外其他突变体类病斑均消褪,昼最高气温降到32℃以下类病斑又逐渐显现,植株到5叶期后类病斑不再受高温抑制。分蘖期所有突变体株高在47.56～63.54cm之间,对照株高为83.75cm,但突变体的矮化现象只出现在分蘖期前,最终不影响株高;突变体与对照抽穗时间相近,突变体穗长在9.43～15.19cm之间,对照穗长为16.41cm;突变体每穗总粒数约为88.17～165.33粒,xsl19是49.50粒,对照是76.17粒。上述结果表明,除xsl19外的突变体均表现为穗短和每穗总粒数增多。类病斑突变体对稻瘟病菌表现为感病,与抗性无关。     

Components of resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans) in eight South AmericanSolanum species

Four components of partial resistance toPhytophthora infestans were measured after inoculation in the greenhouse and in the field ofSolanum arnezii x hondelmannii, S. berthaultii, S. circaeifolium, S. leptophyes, S. microdontum, S. sparsipilum, S. sucrense andS. vernei, and four hybrid progenies ofS. microdontum withS. tuberosum. The four components were infection efficiency, lesion growth rate, generation time and sporulation capacity. The results were compared with resistance ratings derived from field experiments, and with observations made on the potato cultivars Bintje, Bildstar, Libertas and Pimpernel. Genetic variation for all components was found, while the relative importance of the components of partial resistance appeared to vary between the species. InS. microdontum, generation time, infection efficiency and lesion growth rate, and inS. tuberosum infection efficiency, lesion growth rate and sporulation capacity appeared positively associated, but in other species no such association was found. A strong hypersensitive reaction, the expression of which appeared to depend on environmental conditions, was found inS. microdontum. ForS. berthaultii, infection efficiency appeared to be the main resistance component.Abbreviations ADPC area under the disease progress curve - IE infection efficiency - LGR lesion growth rate - GT generation time - SC sporulation capacity     

高铜对雏鸡器官组织病理损害的研究

将420只1日龄艾维菌健雏，随机分为7组，分别饲以含铜量11mg／kg的基础日粮和含铜量分别为100、200、300、400、500和600mg／kg的6种高铜日粮6周，研究高铜对雏鸡的病理损害。结果显示，日粮含铜100和200mg／kg对雏鸡有促生长作用。日粮铜水平达300mg／kg以上时，对雏鸡器官组织造成不同程度的病理损伤，表现为肌胃角质层增厚呈黄褐色；肝呈浅黄色或深褐色，肝细胞脂肪变性；消化道上皮细胞变性坏死；免疫器官和肾、心脏、胰腺、大脑等器官的实质细胞肿胀；淋巴免疫器官体积缩小，淋巴细胞数量减少。超微结构观察发现，肝细胞胞浆和胞核内见有数量不等、大小不一的高电子密度的沉积物；凋亡的淋巴细胞染色质呈花瓣样、半月形或环形，聚集在核膜下。表明，肝、消化道和免疫器官是高铜损害的主要靶器官。     

IMAGING DIAGNOSIS — INTRACRANIAL EPIDERMOID CYST IN A DOBERMAN PINSCHER

A 4-year-old Doberman Pinscher was evaluated for chronic progressive central vestibular disease and aggressiveness. A cyst-like lesion was identified in the region of the left cerebellopontine angle. The lesion was hypointense on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Differentials included an epidermoid or dermoid cyst, cystic neoplasm, and brain abscess. Hyperintensity on subsequent fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images excluded an arachnoid cyst. The histopathologic diagnosis was epidermoid cyst within the fourth ventricle.

大口黑鲈鲁氏耶尔森氏菌的分离鉴定、主要毒力基因及致病性研究

为探明2021年3月福建某水库养殖大口黑鲈疾病暴发的原因,实验从患病大口黑鲈肝脏、肾脏、脾脏中分离优势菌,通过人工感染实验确定病原菌,并综合16S rDNA基因序列分析、生理生化和质谱特征等技术对该病原菌进行种属鉴定,同时,进行毒力基因检测、药物敏感性实验以及组织病理学观察。结果显示,从病鱼脾脏中分离获得1株优势菌并鉴定为鲁氏耶尔森氏菌;该菌株对大口黑鲈的半致死剂量为3.8×10⁵ CFU/尾;该菌株携带yrP1、yhl A、yhl B等毒力基因,对恩诺沙星、盐酸多西环素、氟甲喹、硫酸新霉素、氟苯尼考等5种药物相对敏感。组织病理学观察发现,鲁氏耶尔森氏菌的感染造成大口黑鲈肝脏、肾脏、脾脏不同程度的损伤,表现为明显的变性、坏死及炎症细胞的浸润等。本研究首次报道了鲁氏耶尔森氏菌对养殖大口黑鲈的致病性,可为养殖大口黑鲈鲁氏耶尔森氏菌病的诊断和药物防治提供参考依据。     

The sea louse Lepeophtheirus acutus (Caligidae, Siphonostomatoida, Copepoda) as a pathogen of aquarium-held elasmobranchs

Lepeophtheirus acutus Heegaard, 1943 (Caligidae, Siphonostomatoida, Copepoda), was collected from or observed on four of six elasmobranch species held at Burgers’ Zoo (Arnhem, The Netherlands). Circumstantial evidence suggested that a zebra shark, Stegostoma fasciatum (Hermann), from the wild carried the infection into the facility, where copepods reproduced and colonized additional hosts. Copepods typically attached on and about the eyes, in the mouth and occasionally about the cloaca and on the claspers. Severe ocular lesions were associated with infections on zebra sharks, a grey reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker), whitetip reef sharks, Triaenodon obesus (Rüppell), and giant shovelnose ray, Rhinobatos typus Bennett, while blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus (Quoy & Gaimard), and blacktip sharks, Carcharhinus limbatus (Valenciennes), living in infested aquaria showed no sign of infection. Water treatments using trichlorfon were considered primarily responsible for the eradication of copepods from hosts and infested aquaria. This case is the first report of a copepod infection being closely associated with disease and death of an aquarium‐held elasmobranch. Given its ability to infect a wide variety of elasmobranchs and promote life‐threatening lesions on some hosts, L. acutus should be considered a dangerous pathogen of captive elasmobranchs.     

Introduction and comparison of two methods of assessment of coronary lesions in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L

This study investigated and compared quantitative and semi-quantitative coronary lesion evaluation in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. A total of 121 immature farmed and 47 sexually mature wild Atlantic salmon were included. Coronary arteries from all fish were morphometrically evaluated using a semi-quantitative method. A subsample of 76 salmon was additionally evaluated using a quantitative method. Another subsample of 71 salmon was used for reliability testing of the semi-quantitative method. Ten cross-sections of coronary arteries located on the ventral surface of the bulbus arteriosus were semi-quantitatively scored with regard to myointimal coronary lesions. Quantitative measurements comprised maximal intimal thickness and area lesion (%) while semi-quantitative measurements comprised maximal intimal thickness and lesion degree (%). Scores for individual fish were expressed as the average of lesion score, denoted as mean range lesion. One person performed all evaluations blindly. Two pathologists tested repeatability of the semi-quantitative lesion score measurements blindly. Both semi-quantitative and quantitative variables increased significantly with increasing lesion score. Semi-quantitative estimation gave significantly higher maximal intimal thickness values than quantitative measurement. Semi-quantitative measurements were found to explain 63.2% of variation in quantitatively measured maximal intimal thickness. Due to lack of agreement, the two methods are not directly comparable and one method cannot replace the other. Repeatability within and between observers with regard to semi-quantitative classification was very good with Kappa values larger than 61.5%. The semi-quantitative method was a valid and reliable method for coronary lesion evaluation in Atlantic salmon.     

Persistent Hematuria as a Result of Chronic Renal Hypertension Secondary to Nephritis in a Stallion

A 13-year-old Lusitano stallion was referred to our institution with a history of severe hematuria for 8.5 months. The origin of the hematuria was determined to be the left kidney. The diagnostic workup failed to identify obstructive, infectious, or neoplastic conditions. The history and ultrasonographic examination suggested a chronic condition. The stallion was subjected to left nephrectomy because of the persistent hematuria and anemia. A histopathological examination detected lesions, which were compatible with chronic nephritis and vascular renal hypertension. It is hypothesized that changes in the normal parenchymal architecture produced a vascular aberration that led to renal hypertension, with subsequent blood extravasation and hematuria. The horse recovered completely after nephrectomy.
