甲型流感病毒H5N1的siRNA设计

选用了甲型流感病毒10个毒株(全序列)和一个2004年越南毒株(部分序列)，采用自己编写的计算机程序sRNAFinder，对每个毒株的6个RNA片段的6个编码序列进行了siRNA设计．结合系统发育重建方法，利用sR-NAFinder的共有序列分析功能，对得到的6101个siRNA分子进行了计算机筛选．结果表明，设计的siRNA的分子，针对np和pb1应该是最有效的，而针对ha和na的siRNA分子设计，需要疾病流行期毒株的最新测序数据；从ns1的数据不能获得很保守的、可作为预防治疗药物的siRNA分子．图1表4参16     

盐度变化对日本对虾暴发白斑综合症病毒病的影响

为研究盐度在对虾暴发白斑综合症 (whitespotsyndrome)过程中所起的作用 ,进行了盐度变化对日本对虾免疫水平的影响实验及不同盐度下的人工感染实验。结果显示 :(1)盐度是影响日本对虾生理、存活的重要环境因子 ;(2 )盐度变化能够影响对虾的免疫状况 ,盐度升高和降低都会降低日本对虾的免疫水平 ;(3)在偏离对虾正常生存盐度的环境中 ,对虾抵御外来感染能力降低 ,易受病原体如WSSV的感染 ;(4)盐度变化是导致对虾爆发白斑综合症的重要诱因之一。     

滇池和洱海湖滨带水生植被状况与水质的关系研究

在滇池和洱海的湖滨带各设置了6个具有不同水生植被状况的采样点,于2010年8月-2011年5月对水温、pH、ORP、电导率、营养盐(总氮和总磷)、叶绿素a及3种DNA病毒等水质指标进行了现场或采样分析。结果表明,两湖泊中营养盐含量高的湖滨带(滇池草海和洱海沙坪湾),由于水生植物覆盖度高,湖水保持了叶绿素a含量低的状态。对洱海湖滨带的水质分析结果表明,洱海水质有较明显的季节性变化。分析表明,与水温相比,营养盐浓度可能是影响藻类生物量的更重要的因素。3种DNA病毒检测结果初步表明,水生植物不仅能控藻,而且对病毒也有抑制作用。     

环境因素对病毒在水体中生存与传播的影响

目前,新型冠状病毒(2019-nCoV)在全球范围内广泛传播.2019-nCoV在粪便和污水中的检出揭示了病毒介水传播的可能性.了解各类环境因素对水源性病毒生存与传播的影响对介水传染病的防控及病毒风险评估具有重要意义.通过对国内外相关研究的文献调研,探究了影响病毒在水体中生存与传播的主要环境因素.研究表明,致病病毒在水环境中的存活和传播潜力与紫外线照射、水体温度、pH、盐度以及水体中存在的微生物和悬浮颗粒物等环境条件密切相关.即:①低温能够大幅延长病毒的存活时间,更有利于病毒在水体中的传播;高温能够加速病毒失活从而削弱病毒的传播潜力.②紫外线照射通过破坏病毒核酸能够有效去除和灭活病毒.③水体中的微生物能够产生对病毒颗粒不利的代谢物,或利用病毒衣壳作为营养来源,从而导致病毒失活.④各类水体中存在的大量悬浮颗粒物对病毒的吸附大大延长了病毒的存活时间,从而增强了病毒在水体中的潜在传播能力;此外,悬浮颗粒物能够促进或阻碍病毒在多孔介质中的传输与滞留.⑤pH通过改变病毒颗粒的表面电荷,影响病毒的团聚,从而影响病毒在水环境中的持久性.⑥无机离子通过影响病毒的团聚和吸附性能,从而改变其活性.环境因素...     

两种水源性诺如病毒富集方法的比较

评估阳离子膜吸附-洗脱法和阴离子膜吸附-洗脱法在富集水源性诺如病毒（NV）过程中的病毒回收效果、消耗时间及使用成本,可以获得更适用于水源性诺如病毒实际监测工作的较优富集方法.以无锡市疾病预防控制中心保存的诺如病毒阳性标准质粒为模板,采用荧光定量RT-PCR（反转录酶-聚合酶链反应）方法绘制病毒定量标准曲线,并应用于病毒的绝对定量.将含诺如病毒的粪便悬液先稀释成3个不同浓度,并加入灭菌水中,分别经过阴离子膜（硝酸纤维素滤膜）或阳离子膜（Nanoceram膜）吸附洗脱,最终相同体积洗脱液提取核酸后用荧光定量RT-PCR方法进行绝对定量,并进一步计算最终病毒回收率.结果表明:①样本病毒浓度为8×101~8×1010 copies/μL时,病毒拷贝数的lg对数值与C_t（荧光定量PCR中达到设定阈值所经过的循环数）呈线性关系.②随着样本病毒浓度的增加,阴离子膜法和阳离子膜法的病毒回收率都相应增加.③当检测样本中病毒浓度分别为8×101、4×102 copies/μL时,阴离子膜法回收率分别为22.2%±4.1%和36.8%±6.2%,阳离子膜法回收率分别为17.4%±1.5%和28.8%±6.1%,说明阴离子膜吸附-洗脱法对病毒的富集回收率显著高于阳离子膜吸附-洗脱法（P < 0.05）.研究显示,综合富集效果、耗费时间和成本等因素,阴离子膜吸附-洗脱法比阳离子膜吸附-洗脱法更适用于日常水源性诺如病毒的富集工作.      

瞬时表达比较马铃薯X病毒CP基因3种结构对RNA沉默的诱导效果

RNA沉默是植物抵御病毒侵染的一种防卫机制,病原来源的抗性(pathogen-derived resistance,PDR)被认为是通过RNA沉默起作用的.转化的核酸片段在基因组中的位置、长短和不同排列结构等均影响RNA沉默的效率.用全长马铃薯X病毒(PVX)CP基因构建非翻译的正义、反义和反向重复结构转基因的植物表达载体,通过农杆菌渗入法瞬时表达测试了这些转基因对RNA介导抗性的诱导效率和有效性.结果表明,反向重复的PVXCP是更为有效的RNA沉默诱导因子,同时也证明让目的基因在受试植物中瞬时表达,在转化植物之前能比较快速地检测转基因的表达情况以及表达产物的功能,从而节约时间和资源,并减少盲目性.图3表2参21     

Infectious Diseases and Extinction Risk in Wild Mammals

Abstract:  Parasite-driven declines in wildlife have become increasingly common and can pose significant risks to natural populations. We used the IUCN Red List of Threatened and Endangered Species and compiled data on hosts threatened by infectious disease and their parasites to better understand the role of infectious disease in contemporary host extinctions. The majority of mammal species considered threatened by parasites were either carnivores or artiodactyls, two clades that include the majority of domesticated animals. Parasites affecting host threat status were predominantly viruses and bacteria that infect a wide range of host species, including domesticated animals. Counter to our predictions, parasites transmitted by close contact were more likely to cause extinction risk than those transmitted by other routes. Mammal species threatened by parasites were not better studied for infectious diseases than other threatened mammals and did not have more parasites or differ in four key traits demonstrated to affect parasite species richness in other comparative studies. Our findings underscore the need for better information concerning the distribution and impacts of infectious diseases in populations of endangered mammals. In addition, our results suggest that evolutionary similarity to domesticated animals may be a key factor associated with parasite-mediated declines; thus, efforts to limit contact between domesticated hosts and wildlife could reduce extinction risk.     

Ultrafiltration tests for the reutilization of greenhouse wastewater

Abstract

A lab‐scale experiment was performed using two different pore‐size ultrafiltration membranes to investigate the removal efficiency of Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV), retainability of pollutant and nutrients, and flow characteristics. From the experiment, it may be concluded that ultrafiltration can be used effectively to eliminate ToMV. Tests with a 30K pore‐size ultrafiltration membrane achieved 99% virus removal efficiency and a 5K membrane practically removed 100% of the virus in greenhouse wastewater. Nutrient analysis indicated that all the essential nutrients could be retained and re‐utilized.     

Effects of red‐headed pine sawfly,Neodiprion lecontei,nuclear polyhedrosis virus on rainbow trout,Salmo gairdneri,and Daphnia pulex

Abstract

The effects of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) of the red‐headed pine sawfly, Neodiprion lecontei, on rainbow trout, Salmo gairdnevi, were investigated. The fish were exposed to this virus by intubation and topical application and no ill‐effects were observed. Similarly, no ill‐effects were detected in Daphnia pulex when the same NPV was added to their culture medium. The materials were lyophilized, NPV‐infected sawfly larvae (normally used for insect control), lyophilized, unin‐fected larvae and purified, polyhedral inclusion bodies. On the basis of these laboratory tests, this virus, when disseminated as a biocontrol agent, should present no hazard to rainbow trout or to the aquatic invertebrate Daphnia pulex, two species frequently used in toxicity tests of chemical pesticides.
