In this work, electrospinning of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), chitosan and their blends has been investigated, and nanofibers with a diameter ranging from 90 nm to 1.9 microns were produced and used as carriers for immobilization of the phospholipase A1. A strong influence of chitosan (CS) and the solvent trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) on the morphology, distribution of the nanofibers diameter and on their hydrophobicity was observed. The yield of phospholipase A1 (PLA1) on non-woven fibers was evaluated using the method of Bradford. Their activities and their reutilisability were assessed titrimetrically using soybean lecithin as substrate. The results showed that the degree of immobilization on the non-woven fibers of pure PLA and mixtures PLA/CS4 and PLA/SC6 are 73, 54, 45 % respectively and can be reused up to 4 cycles without significant loss of enzyme activity. Moreover, a remarkable improvement of the activity of phospholipase A1 on non-woven based on pure PLA fibers was observed, indicating that most of the enzymes were probably in their active form. 相似文献

Rickettsioses and bartonelloses are arthropod-borne diseases of mammals with widespread geographical distributions. Yet their occurrence in specific regions, their association with different vectors and hosts and the infection rate of arthropod-vectors with these agents remain poorly studied in South-east Asia. We conducted entomological field surveys in the Lao PDR (Laos) and Borneo, Malaysia by surveying fleas, ticks, and lice from domestic dogs and collected additional samples from domestic cows and pigs in Laos. Rickettsia felis was detected by real-time PCR with similar overall flea infection rate in Laos (76.6%, 69/90) and Borneo (74.4%, 268/360). Both of the encountered flea vectors Ctenocephalides orientis and Ctenocephalides felis felis were infected with R. felis. The degrees of similarity of partial gltA and ompA genes with recognized species indicate the rickettsia detected in two Boophilus spp. ticks collected from a cow in Laos may be a new species. Isolation and further characterization will be necessary to specify it as a new species. Bartonella clarridgeiae was detected in 3/90 (3.3%) and 2/360 (0.6%) of examined fleas from Laos and Borneo, respectively. Two fleas collected in Laos and one flea collected in Borneo were co-infected with both R. felis and B. clarridgeiae. Further investigations are needed in order to isolate these agents and to determine their epidemiology and aetiological role in unknown fever in patients from these areas. 相似文献

Since 1960, the steppe regions of North Africa have been subject to an increasing desertification, including the degradation of traditional pastures. The initially dominant species(Artemisia herba-alba, Lygeum spartum and Stipa tenacissima) declined and were progressively replaced by other species(Atractylis serratuloides and Salsola vermiculata) that are more tolerant to the new conditions. It is not clear whether these changes are due to anthropogenic reasons or climatic determinism. We have carried out a statistical analysis of the climate to detect putative rainfall changes during the 20~(th) century in the Algerian steppes based on data from 9 meteorological stations, including 2 Saharan stations(El Oued and Touggourt), 3 pre-Saharan stations(Biskra, Laghouat and Ain Sefra) and 4 steppe stations(Djelfa, Saida, Méchéria and El-Bayadh) located in the arid high plains, which represent the bioclimate diversities of the region. Previous studies suggested that significant rainfall changes for the 20~(th) century only had records in the south of the Oran region. Most of the studies, however, looked at restricted territories over limited periods, and did not integrate the rainiest period 2004–2014. Our work is designed to integrate all the longest time series of meteorological data available for the steppe regions of Algeria. Our results confirm the spatial rainfall distribution(significant rainfall changes only recorded in the southwestern region) evidenced by previous studies, and reveal a decreasing rainfall gradient from northeastern to southwestern Algeria. Moreover, the results reveal a trend of significant decrease of rainfall in the southern Oran region, marked by two drought periods in 1980–1985 and 1999–2003. However, with the exception of the southwestern region, rainfall overall has not declined since the beginning of the 20~(th) century. While less marked in other regions, the drought appear to have affected all territories of the Algerian steppe. Consequently, our study implies that the climate was not a leading influence in the on-going degradation of the vegetation cover of steppe landscapes. Such a vegetation evolution thus appears to be have been determined more by human activities than by climate forcing. 相似文献

In the present study, a molecular proteomics (MALDI-TOF/MS) approach was used as a tool for identifying flea vectors. We measured the MS spectra from 38 flea specimens of 5 species including Ctenocephalides felis, Ctenocephalides canis, Archaeopsylla erinacei, Xenopsylla cheopis and Stenoponia tripectinata. A blind test performed with 24 specimens from species included in a library spectral database confirmed that MALDI-TOF/MS is an effective tool for discriminating flea species. Although fresh and 70% ethanol-conserved samples subjected to MALDI-TOF/MS in blind tests were correctly classified, only MS spectra of quality from fresh specimens were sufficient for accurate and significant identification. A cluster analysis highlighted that the MALDI Biotyper can be used for studying the phylogeny of fleas. 相似文献

Aqueous and organic extracts, essential oil as well as the powder of Pituranthos tortuosus (Coss.) Maire were tested on the growth of flax (Linum usitatissimum) and turnip (Brassica rapa) to assess its allelopathic potentialities. Besides, biological potentialities of its essential oil were evaluated by estimating its insecticidal (on Cryptolestes ferrugineus and Culex pipiens) and antifungal (on Fusaruim graminearum and Alternaria sp.) activities. Significant growth inhibition of target species was recorded in the presence of the aqueous and acetone extracts, more than 50% in certain cases. P. tortuosus essential oil also induced growth reduction which was almost total in the presence of a concentration of 4000 ppm. In addition, essential oil caused, for C. ferrugineus, a respective mortality of 50% and of 90% at concentrations of 205.68 and 300.37 μl/l air. Otherwise, 50 ppm was sufficient to induce 100% of mortality of C. pipiens larvae, whereas LC50 and LC90 were 15.46 ppm and 23.62 ppm, respectively. A concentration of 4 μl/ml of P. tortuosus essential oil caused a complete inhibition of the mycelial growth of F. graminearum and Alternaria sp. Results show that essential oil as well as organic extracts could be used for the production of natural bio-pesticides which could reduce our dependence on chemical pesticides. 相似文献

The Reduced Agent-Area Treatment (RAAT) approach involves applying low rates of insecticides in intermittent swaths to control grasshopper infestations in an effort to achieve a more economically and environmentally sound pest management strategy compared to traditional blanket applications at high rates. Operationalscale (>250 ha) insecticide tests on Wyoming rangeland grasshopper infestations (18-56 grasshoppers/m2) at two sites in 1997 revealed that carbaryl yielded 94% control as a blanket treatment (560 g/ha) and 81% control as a RAAT application (280 g/ha applied to 50% of the infested land). Malathion yielded 90% control as a blanket treatment (683 g/ha) and 91% control as an RAAT application (342 g/ha applied to 80% of the infested land), and fipronil (4 g/ha) yielded 98% control as a blanket treatment and 92% control when applied to 33% of the infested land. One year after treatment, the RAAT and blanket-treated plots had 2-4% (Pollet Ranch) of the densities in untreated plots. Economic analysis showed that the greatest benefit:cost ratio was obtained with the fipronil-RAAT method, followed by carbaryl-RAAT, malathion-RAAT, malathion-blanket, fipronil-blanket, carbaryl-blanket. The worst-case outcome of fipronil and carbaryl with a RAAT approach had a greater economic return than the best-case outcome of no treatment. Following blanket treatments, non-target arthropod abundance was highest in the fipronil plots, followed by carbaryl and malathion; arthropod biomass was higher in the carbaryl plots than fipronil and malathion. In RAAT plots, arthropods were generally less impacted than in the blanket plots, with the least reduction caused by fipronil and carbaryl. Thus, the RAAT tactic appears to be economically and environmentally superior to blanket treatments under large-scale, operational conditions. 相似文献
