鹅圆环病毒浙江永康株全基因组的克隆及序列分析

为研究水禽流感大规模爆发的机理,进行了水禽流感病例中并发病原,特别是免疫抑制性病原的检测研究。根据已发表的鹅圆环病毒(Goosecircovirus,GoCV)序列,设计了一对检测引物,对浙江永康禽流感病死鹅样品进行PCR扩增,获得与预期552bp大小相符的DNA片段,经测序确认为GoCV特异序列,推测样品中存在GoCV。根据测定的序列进一步设计反向扩增引物,经扩增、测序、拼接后获得GoCV全长基因组序列。基因组序列分析表明,浙江永康株GoCV_yk01全长1821bp,具有圆环病毒共同的与病毒复制相关的茎环结构和Rep蛋白保守基序等特征,它与德国、中国台湾发表的序列在全基因组水平有91%～93%的同源性,在Rep和外壳蛋白的氨基酸水平有94%～97%的同源性。应用ClustalW方法作进化树分析显示,GoCV_yk01序列与德国株及中国台湾株均不在同一分支。圆环病毒可以感染淋巴细胞等增殖快的细胞,引起免疫抑制,从而造成其他病原的并发和继发感染,怀疑GoCV可能在2004年初永康爆发的鹅流感中起到了一定的协同作用。该GoCV_yk01是中国内地首次检测确认并测定全基因组序列的鹅圆环病毒。

Complete nucleotide sequence of a novel porcine circovirus-like agent and its infectivity in vitro

A novel agent (hence termed as P2) was isolated from pig sera in China, which contained covalently bound circular genomic DNAs of 993 nucleotides. Sequence analyses indicated that the agent was closely related to the porcine circovirus (PCV). The molecular clone of P2 was constructed subsequently and used for the following studies. Intracytoplasmic inclusions and intranuclear inclusions were only found in PK-15 cells transfected with the tandem dimer of P2 molecular DNA clone. Intracytoplasmic inclusions were round or irregular in shape and 0.1-0.4 μm in diameter, and intranuclear inclusions were electronically denser than intracytoplasmic inclusions and had two general shapes: round/small (0.1 μm in diameter) and hexagonal/large (0.5―1.4 μm in diameter). The inclusions were not membranously bound. The cells transfected with the tandem dimer of P2 molecular DNA clone were tested positive for P2 DNA at passages 5. The P2 antigen could be detected in both transfected and passaged PK-15 cells. This is the first report regarding the complete nucleotide sequence of a small DNA genome in a circovirus-like infectious agent in vitro.     

Stable maintenance of linear bovine papillomavirus 1 molecules in C127I cells.

This paper describes the characterization of cell lines that stably maintain linear copies of bovine papillomavirus 1 (BPV-1). Cell lines were generated by liposome-mediated transfection of BamH1-linearized virus into C127I cells. Two transfectants with morphologies differing from each other and from that of the parental cell line were characterized. Southern blots indicated that they contain ten to twelve copies of the BPV-1 genome per cell and that the predominant species in both cell lines are linear BPV-1 episomes. One to two copies per genome of a slow migrating species are also present. Both BPV-1 species found in these cells are sensitive to BAL31 digestion. Viral chromosomal ends were amplified by anchored PCR, cloned and sequenced. Our results indicate that no major rearrangements have occurred in the sequence flanking the BamH1 site where the virus used for transfection was linearized. No circular BPV-1 molecules were detected by PCR. The slow migrating species may serve as templates for replication for the linear forms by a yet unidentified mechanism.

Survival of Dusky Canada Goose Goslings in Relation to Weather and Annual Nest Success

Abstract The dusky Canada goose (Branta canadensis occidentalis) population has been in long-term decline, likely due to reduced breeding productivity, but gosling survival of this population had not been examined. We studied gosling survival in broods of radiomarked adult females on the western Copper River Delta, Alaska, USA, during 1997–1999 and 2001–2003. Survival estimates for dusky Canada goose goslings to 45 days (x̄ = 0.32) were below estimates from most previous studies of geese. Daily survival of goslings increased with age and decreased with date of hatch. Precipitation during the first 3 days post-hatch was negatively related to gosling survival and this effect increased with date. Annual estimates of gosling survival were positively correlated with annual estimates of nest success, suggesting overlap in factors affecting nest and gosling survival. Nest success probably also directly affected gosling survival, because survival decreased with hatch date and more broods hatched from renests during years with low nest success. Gosling survival appears to play an important role in limiting current productivity of this population. Management directed at increasing nest success would likely also improve gosling survival. We recommend additional research directed at examining sources of gosling mortality and the link between nest success and gosling survival.     

Detection of porcine parvovirus using a taqman-based real-time pcr with primers and probe designed for the NS1 gene

A TaqMan-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was devised for the detection of porcine parvovirus (PPV). Two primers and a TaqMan probe for the non-structural protein NS1 gene were designed. The detection limit was 1 x 102 DNA copies/μL, and the assay was linear in the range of 1 x 102 to 1 x 10? copies/μL. There was no cross-reaction with porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV), or Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). The assay was specific and reproducible. In 41 clinical samples, PPV was detected in 32 samples with the real-time PCR assay and in only 11 samples with a conventional PCR assay. The real-time assay using the TaqMan-system can therefore be practically used for studying the epidemiology and management of PPV.
