黄鳝体内寄生隐藏新棘虫和胃瘤线虫的频率分布及季节动态

寄生虫的感染会对黄鳝（Monopterus albus Zuiew,1793）造成不利影响,其中寄生其肠道的隐藏新棘虫（Pallisentis（Neosentis）celatus van Cleave,1928）和寄生于体腔的胃瘤线虫幼虫（Eustrongylidessp.）对黄鳝健康的影响尤其严重,研究调查了以上两种寄生蠕虫在黄鳝体内的频率分布以及季节动态。在连续23个月内共调查黄鳝1980尾,结果显示,隐藏新棘虫的感染率为34.46%,平均丰度为2.948.37,平均丰度与鱼类体长之间呈显著正相关关系（R=0.16,P0.05）,平均丰度和聚集度在42 cmL48 cm体长组达到最大值后开始下降,呈现凸形曲线。胃瘤线虫幼虫感染率为15.14%,平均丰度为0.612.45,平均丰度与鱼类体长之间呈显著负相关关系（R=-0.14,P0.05）,平均丰度在24 cmL30 cm体长组达到最大值后开始逐渐下降,聚集度是在30 cmL36 cm体长组达到最大值后开始下降。各月份间隐藏新棘虫的平均丰度和感染率都有显著性差异（F=10.50,P0.05;G=84.440.05[22]2= 33.9）,感染主要发生在春季和秋季;胃瘤线虫幼虫各月份间的平均丰度和感染率也都有显著性差异（F=6.70,P0.05;G =143.88 0.05[22]2= 33.9）,感染主要发生在春末夏初。     

黄鳝体内胃瘤线虫的种群生物学研究

胃瘤线虫幼虫主要寄生于黄鳝的体腔内 ,以包囊形式附着于肠壁及肠系膜等处。该线虫的感染率和感染强度有随宿主体长的增加而增加的趋势 ,但有些波动 ,在体长 35 0— 4 0 0mm的黄鳝中其感染强度先有所下降 ,后又迅速增加 ,体长 4 5 0mm以上的黄鳝其感染率降低。这可能宿主鱼的食性改变及对寄生虫的感染产生免疫力等有关。胃瘤线虫的种群平均丰度随宿主体长的增加而缓慢地增加 ,其种群平均丰度 (M)与宿主体长 (L)符合直线方程M =- 1 0 76 0 0 0 0 85L的变化规律。随着黄鳝体长的增加 ,胃瘤线虫种群在黄鳝中的频率分布的尾增长 ,即黄鳝感染较多线虫所占的比例增加。 4— 5月份黄鳝体内的胃瘤线虫种群组成中以体长较大的虫体 (4 0— 6 0mm)为主。胃瘤线虫种群在宿主黄鳝种群中呈聚集分布 ,且聚集强度随线虫种群平均丰度的增加而增加。     

黄鳝体内寄生胃瘤线虫的染色体核型及G-带分析

采用常规空气干燥法制片,对寄生于黄鳝(Monopterus albus)体腔内的胃瘤线虫(Eustrongylidesignotus)染色体核型进行分析。结果表明:胃瘤线虫体细胞有12条染色体,为二倍体,核型公式为2n=12=10 m+2 sm。由5对常染色体和1对性染色体组成,性别决定模式为XX-XY,其中X、Y和1～4号染色体都为中着丝粒染色体,5号为亚中着丝粒染色体。每对染色体都有特定的G-带带型。     

大型多钩槽绦虫与隐藏新棘虫种间关系研究

大型多钩槽绦虫和隐藏新棘虫单独在黄鲜肠道内分布时,其分布益十分相似,相似性系数ｒ＝０．９２２６（Ｐ〈０．０１）,当两种寄生蠕虫在黄鳝中共同感染时,随着大型多钩槽绦虫的生长,其分布位置明显前移而隐藏新棘虫的分布位置则显著后退,生态２位重叠明显下降。两种寄生蠕虫种间正关联显著,它们在宿主人共存并不改变它们的感染速度。     

流溪河水库中瘤棘砂壳虫的摄食食物种类研究

有壳变形虫是一些单细胞的,异养的,自由生活的,生活在由有机颗粒,石英啥,硅质的矿物质等以规则的顺序组成的外壳中的原生动物^[1],广泛分布于世界各地^[2],水生砂壳虫是其典型代表^[3]。据报道砂壳虫摄食水中的微小颗粒以及轮虫,甚至是大型的浮游生物^[4]。因而砂壳虫可能是水体中连接经典食物链和微型食物链的关键浮游生物。为了系统地研究砂壳虫的摄食行为的特点,在流溪河水库水体中进行了两年的野外监测并结合室内活体观察。瘤棘砂壳虫最初发现于贵州,杨军等人于2004年重新描述了该种类并给予系统地形态学和壳元素组成研究^[5],是流溪河水库该属的一个优势种类。瘤棘砂壳在流溪河水库中于晚春出现,秋季消失,种群在夏季达到峰值。据活体观察,该种类属肉食性,其摄食浮游生物主要是轮虫,包括胶鞘轮虫,独角聚花轮虫(个体),螺形龟甲轮虫,红多肢轮虫(死亡个体),奇异六腕轮虫(死亡个体),对棘异尾轮虫(死亡个体),以及无节幼体(死亡个体)。瘤棘砂壳虫2006年出现于5月~10月,丰度范围为1.2~25.88ind.·L^-1,2007年丰度范围为0.2~11.2 ind.·L^-1。螺形龟甲轮虫和红多肢轮虫的丰度范围分别为0.2~101.2ind.·L^-1,0.1~45.71ind.·L^-1。胶鞘轮虫和独角聚花轮虫的丰度范围分别为0.02~11.4ind.·L^-1,0~26 ind.·L^-1,并且都是在夏季达到峰值。胶鞘轮虫和独角聚花轮虫由于身体柔软、游泳速度不快,是易被瘤棘砂壳虫摄食的轮虫。独角聚花轮虫在自然水体中有集群行为,能够抵御肉食动物的捕食,因为在自然水体中被摄食的几率较小。而其它的轮虫如龟甲轮虫,红多肢轮虫,由于外壳硬,游泳速度快,瘤棘砂壳虫对它们的捕食成功率很低。瘤棘砂壳虫主要依靠伪足进行摄食活动和爬行,其摄食行为和机制应该得到进一步的研究。     

大型多钩槽绦虫在黄鳝体内寄生的研究

解剖检查了５００尾黄鳝。统计表明：黄鳝感染大型多钩槽绦虫的感染率为７．６％,感染强度是２．７,黄鳝感染此种绦虫为一个随机过程。大型钩槽绦虫在宿主种群中的分布符合负二项分布图式,其负二项分布参数ｋ＝０．０３４５,ｐ＝５．９０７８,长度在５ｃｍ以上的绦虫对宿主的正常生长有影响。     

原生动物瘤棘砂壳虫六个自然种群的形态计量学分析

利用统计方法研究了长江流域和珠江流域原生动物瘤棘砂壳虫6个种群374个虫体的形态特征.频数分布结果显示,瘤棘砂壳虫是一个大小恒定的单型种,其壳高、壳直径和口径均具有一个特定的大小范围,且服从正态分布.瘤棘砂先虫的特征值中,壳刺长、颈高、前体长和壳刺数的变异系数相对较高.相关分析表明,大部分特征值之间显著相关(P<0.05).方差分析显示,9个特征值(壳高、壳直径、口直径、壳刺长、颈高、后体长、前体长、口齿数、壳刺数)在不同种群间有显著差异(P<0.0001).尽管主成分分析没有明显区分开6个种群,但是聚类分析将它们分成了两个类群,其中珠江流域的广东万绿湖、广东流溪河水库种群和长江流域的贵州乌江渡、湖北道观河水库种群聚为一类;长江流域的湖北木兰湖和安徽董铺水库种群聚为一类.提示,为了适应当地的环境,即使处于同一流域的大小单型种在不同种群间也可形成显著差异.     

不同生态因子对黄鳝受精卵孵化率的影响

This paper studied the effects of some ecological factors (temperature, pH, hatching method and ammonia) on the embryonic development of ricefield eel. The results indicated that the optimum hatching temperature of ricefield eel was 25～28℃, and no significant difference was found about the effects of pH within the range of pH 5.5～9.5 on the hatching rate of oosperm. Dripping water incubation had a higher hatching rate of oosperm than staticing water incubation, and the hatching rate of oosperm decreased with increasing ammonia content. The present study provided an available suggestion for the all-artificial and half-artificial breeding of ricefield eel.     

ZFX基因同源序列在黄鳝基因组中的检出及其染色体定位

以大熊猫锌指蛋白基因Zfx为探针 ,在黄鳝基因组DNA中检测到一条长约 9 5kb的杂交带。依据哺乳类和爬行类动物锌指蛋白基因 (ZFX/Zfc)编码第 7～ 13个锌指结构的DNA序列保守性设计引物 ,在黄鳝基因组DNA中仅扩增到一条 5 12bp的DNA片段。将此片段克隆至载体 pBS中 ,从雌性、雄性个体中分别挑选 4个含有插入片段的白色克隆进行测序。测序结果表明 ,这些克隆中插入片段的核苷酸序列一致。该DNA片段在核苷酸水平上与人类ZFX和ZFY分别具有 88%和 87%同源性 ,但其与美洲鳄鱼Zfc的同源性可达 90 % ,而在氨基酸水平上则分别存在 95 9%、95 9%和 93 5 %的同源性 (170个氨基酸 )。该基因命名为黄鳝锌指蛋白基因Zfa ,并运用FISH将其定位于黄鳝 1号染色体 ,距离着丝粒的相对位置为 6 0 1± 0 38。通过进一步研究证明 ,黄鳝 1号染色体上存在有真兽类哺乳动物X染色质同源的保守片段 ,该保守片段有可能就是哺乳动物X染色体起源和进化的原始物质基础之一。应用哺乳动物X染色体连锁的其他基因在鱼类开展染色体比较定位研究 ,将有望促进脊椎动物性染色体进化的深入研究     

The ultrastructural and biosynthetic characteristics of steroidogenic cells in the gonad of Monopterus albus (Teleostei) during natural sex reversal

Summary The ultrastructural and biosynthetic characteristics of the steroid cells in the gonad of Monopterus albus have been studied. Ultrastructural features related to steroidogenesis have been identified in the interstitial Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, granulosa cells and thecal cells, and are especially abundant in the Leydig cells during the mid-intersexual phase. Steroidogenic ultrastructures in the Sertoli cells develop only during the maturation of the spermatogenic cysts, whereas in the granulosa and thecal cells, these features become obvious only during the maturation of the large oocytes. EM evidence also suggests a nutritive function for the Sertoli cells and the granulosa cells. Results of in vitro steroidogenic studies, using either testosterone or progesterone as a precursor, show a predominant conversion to androstenedione and 5-reduced compounds, and suggest a change in biosynthesis from 5-reduced products to androstenedione during sex reversal. 11-Ketotestosterone (11KT) has been identified, but not 11 -hydroxytestosterone. Production of 11 KT is high in the late intersexual and the male phases, but a lack of a marked variation in 11KT production between the early and the mid-intersexual phase suggests that this steroid is not a trigger for natural sex reversal in Monopterus.     

用地高辛标记原位杂交技术定位黄鳝rRNA基因于二价染色体3q12─q24和7q14─q26

以地高辛标记重组质粒ＰＴＡ７１中所含的小麦ｒＲＮＡ基因作为探针,与ＥｃｏＲＩ酶切的黄鳝核基因组总ＤＮＡ经Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交,呈现２条带,片段长度分别为１２．８ｋｂ和４．６ｋｂ。再运用染色体原位杂交技术及杂交后多重带显带技术,定位ｒＲＮＡ基因于黄鳝二价染色体３ｑ１２－ｑ２４和７ｑ１４－ｑ２６两个区间,其分布位点与硝酸银染色法结果相符。此外,还讨论了在黄鳝二价体上开展基因定位研究的突出优点。     

八角茴香提取物对长角扁谷盗成虫的熏蒸作用及其酶活性的影响

为探索八角茴香的杀虫活性及其作用机理,采用密闭容器熏蒸法测定八角茴香干果的甲醇、乙酸乙酯、石油醚3种溶剂提取物对长角扁谷盗成虫的杀虫活性,及其对试虫体内乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GSTs)活性的影响。结果表明:3种提取物对试虫均有较强的熏杀活性,熏杀效果随着处理剂量的提高和处理时间的延长而增强,熏蒸72 h后,20.0 mg/L甲醇、乙酸乙酯、石油醚提取物对试虫的校正死亡率分别为89.93%、96.71%和91.56%,LD50分别为7.16、4.57、5.42 mg/L,以乙酸乙酯提取物的熏杀效果最好。3种提取物对试虫体内的AChE、GSTs活性均表现出明显的剂量效应和较强的时间效应,随着处理剂量的升高,对2种酶活力多数表现为抑制作用增强,而低剂量(1.25 mg/L)的甲醇提取物对AChE具有一定的诱导作用;乙酸乙酯、石油醚提取物在48 h而甲醇提取物在60 h对AChE、GSTs活性抑制作用最强;3种溶剂提取物对AChE、GSTs活性的抑制作用大小均表现为乙酸乙酯>石油醚>甲醇。提取物对酶活性的抑制作用与熏杀效果整体呈正相关,说明AChE、GSTs活性下降可能是造成试虫死亡的重要原因之一。因此,八角茴香具有潜在的杀虫应用研究价值。     

Report on the Polycystididae (Rhabdocoela, Kalyptorhynchia) from Australia, with the Description of Twelve New Species and Six New Genera

Twelve new species of Polycystididae Graff, 1905 are described from the Australian east coast. Nine of them could not be placed in any of the existing genera, and therefore six new genera are erected. Alchoides n. gen. differs from all other polycystidid genera by the presence of a bundle of glands that opens into the distal part of the male atrium (accessory vesicle type V). Two species are included in the genus, A. alchoides n. sp. and A. dittmannae n. sp., which differ from each other in the shape of the stylet. Ametochus gehrkei n. gen n. sp. can be distinguished from other polycystidids by the presence of a prostate vesicle type III associated with a prostate stylet type III, combined with the presence of an accessory stylet type III, while a prostate stylet type II is lacking. Typical for Arrawarria inexpectata n. gen n. sp. is the combined presence of an armed cirrus with a prostate vesicle type II connected to a prostate stylet type II. Two species are assigned to the new genus Duplexostylus n. gen.: D. rowei n. sp. and D. winsori n. sp. These two species have two unique features: a prostate vesicle type IV directly connected to a prostate stylet type III and an asymmetrical septum that surrounds the proximal part of the male atrium. They can be distinguished from each other by differences in the detailed construction of their stylets. Two new species are placed in the new genus Stradorhynchus n. gen.: S. caecus n. sp. and S. terminalis n. sp. They have unpaired gonads and a prostate vesicle type IV connected to a prostate stylet type IV, which combination of characters makes them unique within the Polycystididae. The two species differ from each other in the shape and size of the stylet. Triaustrorhynchus armatus n. gen., n. sp. is the first species of the Polycystididae to have three types of stylet in the male atrium: a prostate stylet type II, a prostate stylet type III and an accessory stylet type III. Three new species could be placed in existing genera: Cincturorhynchus monaculeus n. sp., Paraustrorhynchus caligatus n. sp. and Polycystis australis n. sp. All three differ from their congeners in the form and dimensions of their stylets. All newly described species are discussed, giving their similarities and differences with resembling species. Austrorhynchus hawaiiensis Karling, 1977 is reported for the first time in Australia, and the Australian population is compared with populations from other regions. The presence of Gyratrix hermaphroditus Ehrenberg, 1831, one new species of Paulodora Marcus, 1948 and a new genus of Typhlopolycystidinae Evdonin, 1977 is mentioned.     

The effects of the broad-specificity lipase inhibitor, tetrahydrolipstatin, on the growth, development and survival of the larvae of Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Tortricidae, Lepidoptera)

The effects of the lipase inhibitor, tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), on neonate Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) larvae were investigated by feeding on control artificial diets (with and without 2% ethanol) and diets containing 2% ethanol and one of three concentrations of THL (0.011%, 0.037% and 0.11%). Small but significant reductions in growth rate, percent pupation and time to pupation were observed for larvae feeding on 2% ethanol control diet compared with standard control diet, but larger reductions in all parameters occurred with increasing THL concentration. Third instar larvae fed 0.011% THL in the diet had 40% of the midgut lipase activity in the relevant control larvae and showed up-regulation of gene expression of the gastric lipase-like family but not the pancreatic lipase-like family of midgut lipases.     

Meloidogyne cruciani n. sp. a Root-knot Nematode from St. Croix (U.S. Virgin Islands) with Observations on Morphology of This and Two Other Species of the Genus

Meloidogyne cruciani n. sp. infecting tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) in the U.S. Virgin Islands is described and illustrated. M. cruciani is distinguished from other species of the genus by having punctations around the anus of the female and by the second-stage juveniles possessing tri-lobed esophageal glands which are longer than most other species, with their posterier end at about 46.4% of the body length. The esophageal glands of the immature and adult females are contained in five separate lobes.
