Probable reverse zoonosis of influenza A(H1N1)pdm 09 in a striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis)

Striped skunks (skunks) are susceptible to respiratory infection by influenza A viruses (IAV). As they are common synanthropes, maintenance of IAV in skunks could provide a source of infection for humans. We previously studied the nasal turbinates, lungs and faeces of 50 free‐ranging skunks for the presence of IAV and identified two individuals with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection during the 2009/2010 and 2013/2014 flu seasons. Subsequent to publication of that study, ferrets were shown to preferentially replicate and harbour A(H1N1)pdm09 in the soft palate, a site which had not been investigated in the skunks. From March 2015 to May 2016, we surveyed a convenience sample of 80 free‐ranging urban skunks for IAV in soft palate, nasal turbinates and lungs. The newly emergent influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 clade 6B.1 was detected at all three sites in one skunk with acute rhinitis in February 2016. Clade 6B.1 was the dominant clade in circulation during the 2015/2016 flu season. As the skunk was detected at the height of flu season, reverse zoonosis was considered the most probable source of infection.     

基于ＭＯＤＩＳ数据的青海省积雪覆盖范围监测算法探索

 以青海省作为研究区,利用ＭＯＤＩＳ每日地表反射率产品ＭＯＤ０９ＧＡ 和逐日雪被合成产品ＭＯＤ１０Ａ１,通过调整ＮＤＳＩ阈值,合成积雪分类图像,根据气象台站实测雪深数据,评价积雪分类精度,探索研究了适合该地区的ＮＤＳＩ阈值。研究结果表明,１）ＮＳＩＤＣ 发布的全球ＭＯＤＩＳ积雪产品ＭＯＤ１０Ａ１在青海高原的积雪分类精度较低,在晴空下雪深大于３ｃｍ 的积雪分类精度为８６．０１％。２）研究区适合的ＮＤＳＩ阈值为０．３７。在晴空下雪深大于３ｃｍ 时,合成雪被图像的积雪分类精度可达９０．３７％,总精度９９．５１％,多测误差０．２２％,漏测误差９．６３％。３）同ＭＯＤＩＳ逐日雪被产品ＭＯＤ１０Ａ１进行雪深分段精度比较,发现整体上自定义雪被图像的积雪分类精度较高,合成图像更符合青海高原积雪空间分布的真实情况。     

高产优质黑芝麻“BS09”的选育研究

黑芝麻“BS09”是江西省农科院旱作所用“余江黑芝麻”为母本、“武宁黑芝麻”为父本杂交选育而成的黑芝麻新品种。该品种3年江西省区试平均产量为1092.45 kg/hm^2,比黑芝麻对照增产30.71%,种子含油率50.10%,蛋白质含量20.00%。BS09具有产量高、适应性广、耐渍、耐旱、抗逆性较强、品质优等特性。
