Serological Investigations of Leptospiral Deoxyribonucleases

Enzymoserological comparison of a selection of leptospira strains tested with sera from rabbits immunized with unpurified DNase of Leptospira interrogans, serotype canicola, indicates the production of DNase of serologically very similar properties by the serotypes canicola, autumnalis, icterohemorrhagiae and pomona. The DNase produced by serotype hyos was serologically different from the others, while the serotypes grippotyphosa and bataviae did not produce DNases at all. The method used made it possible to differentiate between leptospiral DNase and normally occurring DNases in the serum samples. Neither leptospira DNase nor specific leptospira-DNase-antibodies could be detected in dog sera with high agglutinationlysis titres after natural infection.     

青翅蚁形隐翅虫在稻田捕食性天敌中的地位与作用

1986～1987年,广东四会早稻田19次调查统计:在捕食性天敌中,狼蛛、其它蜘蛛和隐翅虫的数量分别占20.06、53.93和17.65％,捕食白背飞虱的血清反应阳性率:狼蛛为60.5％、其它蜘蛛20.0％,隐翅虫为13.0％。据此,青翅蚁形隐翅虫的数量和捕食害虫效能居第三位。     

新疆阿勒泰地区绵羊弓形虫病的血清学调查

为了解新疆阿勒泰地区绵羊弓形虫病的感染情况以及感染弓形虫病与绵羊流产的关系,对阿勒泰地区6县1市的绵羊随机采集血清共565份,采用间接血凝试验进行了弓形虫感染的血清学检测。结果显示,阿勒泰地区各县(市)绵羊均有弓形虫感染,感染率高低不一,平均感染率为6.5%;在有流产史的绵羊中发现存在布鲁菌和弓形虫双重感染的情况,提示在预防和治疗绵羊流产时,除了要考虑布鲁菌感染的因素以外,还应考虑弓形虫感染这一因素。     

云南地区部分种猪场种公猪疫病的调查与分析

生产中,种公猪多种疫病会通过水平或垂直传播给种母猪或仔猪,造成种猪群繁殖障碍和呼吸道疾病暴发.为了解云南地区规模种猪场公猪疫病的感染情况,于2014年对云南10个地区63个种猪场4个品种的101头公猪血液和78头公猪精液进行了相关血清学和抗原检测.血清学检测结果显示:公猪血液中含有猪支原体、猪布氏杆菌病、猪弓形体病、猪传染性胸膜肺炎的抗体,其比例分别为32.67%、6.93%、8.91%、28.71%;其中,单独感染某一疫病30头占29.7%,二重混合感染有21头20.8%,三重混合感染2头1.98%,未见四重混合感染.对公猪精液进行PRV、CSFV、PRRSV、PCV-2、PPV和JEV的PCR检测发现:PRRSV感染检出率为12.82%,CSFV+PRRSV2二重混合感染检出率3.85%,PRRSV+PCV-2+JEV三重混合感染检出率2.56%.通过血清学和病原学共检测的179头种公猪,75头单独或混合感染以上10种病原,感染率42.13%,阳性猪场52家,占82.53%.     

玉米矮花叶病毒源鉴定和受侵叶片的超微结构

利用生物接种、血清学反应和电子显微镜观察等方法,对大田发生的玉米矮花叶病毒源进行了鉴定。利用超薄切片系统研究了玉米受MDMV侵染后超微结构的变化。在细胞质中观察到风轮状、卷叶状、束状、圆柱状内含体和简单的囊泡到高度卷曲的膜系统。受侵细胞产生两种不同类型的胞间连丝,a型为正常胞间连丝,b型的胞间连丝伸出指状突起,这可能是细胞限制病毒在寄主体内运转的一种结构。壁旁体的出现与寄主细胞壁加厚及封闭胞间连丝有关。     

Comparison of a commercial ELISA with an indirect fluorescent antibody test to detect antibodies to Lawsonia intracellularis in experimentally challenged pigs

Objective The ability of a new commercial ELISA to detect pigs with subclinical proliferative enteropathy (PE) was compared with the traditional indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Methods Serum samples were selected from pigs with known Lawsonia intracellularis infection status and clinical signs of PE, but the sample population consisted predominantly of pigs subclinically affected by PE. Results Significant association and agreement were shown between the ELISA and IFAT assays. ELISA results correlated well with the duration of L. intracellularis shedding as detected by polymerase chain reaction. Conclusion ELISA can be successfully used to monitor L. intracellularis infection in pigs.     

青海地区丝状支原体山羊亚种的流行病学调查

为了解丝状支原体山羊亚种在青海地区的流行状况,利用丝状支原体山羊亚种抗体检测正向间接血凝试剂盒对2007～2009年采自青海各地区的1 200份山羊血清进行检测。结果显示:不同地区山羊血清的阳性率从5.0%～21.0%不等,平均阳性率为16.1%。从季节上看,冬春季节发病率要高于夏秋季节。青海地区的丝状支原体山羊亚种的感染率偏高,应该加强对由丝状支原体山羊亚种的防控。

靖边县2010年—2012年羊布鲁菌病血清学调查

为了解陕西省靖边县羊布鲁菌的感染及分布状况,自2010年1月—2012年12月,采集陕西省靖边县羔羊、种羊等55 059只的羊血清样品,通过试管凝集反应对布鲁菌病抗体进行检测,分析羊布鲁菌的分布情况。结果显示,55 059份羊血清样品共检出阳性样品78份,其中羔羊样品阳性71份。种羊养殖场和养殖户因引进布鲁菌隐性种公羊造成2个养殖场出现77只病羊,4个养殖户出现117只病羊。羔羊布鲁菌抗体阳性率呈增高趋势,由2010年的0.04%上升到2012年的0.29%;由于引种造成的布鲁菌感染率较高。     

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection in goats. II. The prevalence of caseous lymphadenitis in 36 goat herds in Northern Norway

The precalen-ce of caseous lymphadenitis was surveyed in 36 goat herds in Northern Norway. In each herd, information concerning the occurrence of the disease was obtained from the farmer. Adult animals (1 year of age or older) in 35 herds were examined for superficial swellings, and serum samples were collected from most animals in the herds. The sera were examined for antibodies to Corynebacterium pseudotuber-culosis using the bacterial agglutination test (BAT) and the hemolysis inhibition test (HIT).Gaseous lymphadenitis was diagnosed with certainty in 19 herds. Information from the farmers indicated that the disease indeed oc-curred in these herds, and that the majority had been infected with the disease for many years. The herds had apparently become infected through contact with animals from infected herds. Clinical examina-tions were carried out in 18 of these herds and superficial swellings were found in 26 % of the examined animals. The prevalence of ani-mals with lesions varied from 11 to 40 % among the herds. Of the animals in these herds, 81 % were positive in BAT and 84 % in HIT. The prevalence of positive animals varied from 26 to 99 % in BAT and 28 to 99 % in HIT. The prevalence of seropositive animals was lowest in a herd in which animals were kept separately in stalls.Caseous lymphadenitis could not be diagnosed in 16 herds. In-formation from the farmers indicated that the disease indeed seemed to be absent in 14 of these herds. These 14 herds had no history of contact with animals from herds considered to be infected. However, in the remaining 2 herds, the farmers were somewhat uncertain about the occurrence of the disease. One of these 2 herds had a history of contact with infected herds through participation in a goat “breeding circle”. Only a few of the animals were, however, seropositive and all these had low antibody titres.In 1 newly established herd, a single animal showed a high posi-tive titre in BAT only. All the other animals were negative in both tests. This particular herd consisted of animals obtained both from herds with caseous lymphadenitis and from herds in which the disease was not considered to occur.
