岑巩县黑线姬鼠的生态初步观察

笔者于1984—1987年对全县农业区进行了一次较大规模的鼠类调查,结果表明:黑线姬鼠全县皆有分布,以海拔500—700米地区密度最高。对1474只标本统计结果,雌雄比例为1:0.937,该种除1、2、12月无孕鼠外,其余各月均有孕鼠。4月和9月各有一次繁殖高峰。胎仔数平均为4.85只,该鼠食性以植物性种籽为主;占63.31％。胃内容物鲜重平均为4.75克。一年中有两个数量消长高峰,一昼夜有两次活动高峰,洞口数一般2—5个不等,以3个居多。     

洞庭平原黑线姬鼠繁殖特性研究

１９８６年１０月－１９９０年１０月在湖南省桃源县和汉寿县的稻作区逐月调查,夹捕黑线姬鼠长江亚种２７６８只,雌性占４５。６％。主要繁殖期３－１１月,研究期内的月平均怀孕率为４８．６±４．０％、平均胎仔数为５．３±０．２只。繁殖指数为２．３６±０．２９。以上３个参数及种群性性比有季节性变化,４－５月和７－１０月为２个妊娠高峰;雄性睾丸下位率和雌性怀孕率有同步变动的趋势。５年龄组之间,其性比、怀孕率和繁     

EP-1对雄性中华姬鼠和黑线姬鼠繁殖力的影响

为了检测左炔诺孕酮-炔雌醚（EP-1）对雄性中华姬鼠和黑线姬鼠的不育效果, 将32只雄性中华姬鼠和30只雄性黑线姬鼠分为 30mg/kg 单剂量组、30mg/kg多剂量组和对照组, 15d 和 45d 后剖检, 比较睾丸、附睾、储精囊、精子密度、睾酮含量及睾丸组织形态的变化。结果发现：给药后第 15 天,两种试鼠的睾丸、附睾、储精囊的重量较对照组明显降低; 精子密度、睾酮含量显著下降; 曲细精管结构破坏明显。给药后第45天,处理组各生理指标继续下降,但与第15天相比差别不显著;单剂量组和多剂量组在两个时间点的差别并不显著。结果表明,EP-1对雄性中华姬鼠和黑线姬鼠的繁殖器官有显著抑制效果,单次给药与多次给药的不育效果差别不大。     

黑线姬鼠华北亚种染色体研究

本文采用骨髓染色体制片法,对分布于山东的黑线姬鼠华北亚种的染色体组型,C-带、G-带和银染核型进行了分析研究。其核型为2n=48=38 T+8 M+XY。X为较小的端着丝粒染色体,Y为组型中最大的染色体。几乎每个常染色体的着丝粒区都具异染色质。性染色体的异染色质丰富。No.10和No.18染色体具NOR(?)。每条染色体都显示出较清晰的G-带。同时对黑线姬鼠精母细胞的减数分裂进行了观察,并将山东标本与欧洲标本的核型进行了比较,其性染色体有显著差异。     

黑线姬鼠种群结构与携带汉坦病毒相关性

汉坦病毒(Hantavirus,HV)是肾综合症出血热(Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome,HFRS)的主要病原体之一,HV的主要宿主动物为黑线姬鼠(Apodemus agrarius).针对西安市HFRS的持续高发病率,2010年7月-9月对西安市HFRS 疫区捕获的110只黑线姬鼠(阳性62只)进行年龄、性别鉴定.通过病毒RNA提取分析,发现黑线姬鼠雌雄个体携带病毒无显著差异,但是不同年龄段黑线姬鼠携带汉坦病毒却具有显著差异,年龄结构与病毒携带具有极显著的相关性.     

黑线姬鼠与大林姬鼠组织中超氧化物酶 和过氧化物酶的分布与活性比较

以黑线姬鼠(Apodemus agrarius)和大林姬鼠(A. peninsulae)为研究对象,采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(PAGE)不连续体系的方法,比较分析了心、肝、肾、肌肉、脑、肺6种器官和组织中超氧化物酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性,并建立了2种酶的电泳图谱。结果显示,上述2种酶在黑线姬鼠和大林姬鼠的6种器官和组织中均有表达并表现出明显的特异性,其中,2种鼠中超氧化物酶共分离出迁移率由0.15～0.66的9条电泳谱带,过氧化物酶共分离出迁移率由0.09～0.83的20条电泳谱带。在肝和肺中酶的活性最强,黑线姬鼠6种器官和组织中超氧化物酶活性均强于大林姬鼠,2种鼠组织中过氧化物酶的活性和分布相似,但在同一物种不同器官和组织间过氧化物酶的活性及分布存在明显差异。     

黑线姬鼠农田分布规律探讨

黑线姬鼠(Apodemus aerarius)啮齿目鼠科,种群农田的分布密度在同一时期的不同生境,同一生境的不同时期,同一时期与生境的不同地区均存在着较显著的差异。主要是受食物、生活环境与气候等因素的影响,跟人类活动也有关。有目的地恶化黑线姬鼠栖息活动的大生境,可迫使其迁移至人为设计的小生境内,如辅以毒饵或放夹等进行突击灭鼠,则不失为省时、省力、省资金灭鼠的好方法。

Intestinal Parasites among Wild Rodents in Northern Gangwon-do,Korea

To determine geographical patterns of natural parasite infections among wild rodents, a total of 46 wild rodents from 3 different localities in northern Gangwon-do (Province), Korea were examined for intestinal parasite infections. Along with nematodes such as hookworms and Syphacia spp., Plagiorchis muris (2 specimens) (Trematoda) were collected from striped field mice, Apodemus agrarius. In a Korean wood mouse, Apodemus peninsulae, the overall nematode infections were similar to A. agrarius, but an adult worm of Echinostoma hortense (Trematoda) was collected. In addition, 2 species of cestodes, i.e., Hymenolepis nana and Hymenolepis diminuta, were collected from A. agrarius. Through this survey, A. agrarius and A. peninsule were confirmed as the natural definite hosts for zoonotic intestinal helminths, i.e., P. muris, E. hortense, H. nana, and H. diminuta, in northern Gangwon-do, Korea. Considering increased leisure activities around these areas, seasonal and further comprehensive surveys on wild rodents seem to be needed to prevent zoonotic parasite infections.     

Apodemus agrarius as a new definitive host for Neodiplostomum seoulense

A total of 1,496 rodents and insectivores were live-trapped at Yeoncheon-gun (n = 351), Paju-shi (804), and Pocheon-gun (343), Gyeonggi-do (Province), and examined for intestinal helminths, including Neodiplostomum seoulense, seasonally from December 2004 to September 2005. Six species of rodents, including Apodemus agrarius (1,366), Mus musculus (32), Micronytus fortis (28), Eothenomys regulus (9), Micronys minutus (6), and Cricetulus triton (3), and 1 species of insectivores Crocidura lasiura (54) were collected. A total of 321 adult N. seoulense were collected from 19 (1.4%) A. agrarius. The worm burden ranged from 1 to 101 per A. agrarius (mean; 16.9). No N. seoulense was observed in other rodent or insectivore species examined. The infection rate during autumn (4.5%) was higher than those during spring (0.8%), summer (0.8%), and winter (0.5%). The average number of N. seoulense in infected A. agrarius was the highest in spring (66.0 specimens), followed by autumn (15.2), winter (4.5), and summer (3.3). This study first confirms that A. agrarius is a natural definitive host for N. seoulense, and demonstrates that the infection rates and intensities vary seasonally and geographically.     

Larval Chigger Mites Collected from Small Mammals in 3 Provinces,Korea

A total of 9,281 larval chigger mites were collected from small mammals captured at Hwaseong-gun, Gyeonggi-do (Province) (2,754 mites from 30 small mammals), Asan city, Chungcheongnam-do (3,358 mites from 48 mammals), and Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (3,169 for 62 mammals) from April-November 2009 in the Republic of Korea (= Korea) and were identified to species. Leptotrombidium pallidum was the predominant species in Hwaseong (95.8%) and Asan (61.2%), while Leptotrombidium scutellare was the predominant species collected from Jangseong (80.1%). Overall, larval chigger mite indices decreased from April (27.3) to June (4.9), then increased in September (95.2) and to a high level in November (169.3). These data suggest that L. pallidum and L. scutellare are the primary vectors of scrub typhus throughout their range in Korea. While other species of larval chigger mites were also collected with some implications in the transmission of Orientia tsutsugamushi, they only accounted for 11.2% of all larval chigger mites collected from small mammals.     

唐家河自然保护区高山姬鼠和中华姬鼠夏季生境选择的比较

为揭示影响高山姬鼠和中华姬鼠夏季空间分布的生态因素,采用样线法和样方取样法,于2009年6—8月在四川省唐家河国家级自然保护区内对两种姬鼠的生境选择进行了比较研究。结果表明:两种姬鼠主要利用坡度平缓,郁闭度、落叶层盖度、乔木胸径和高度较小,灌木、竹子和草本密度适中而草本盖度较大的生境;高山姬鼠频繁出现在海拔较低(1400 m左右)、草本植物较大(平均高度为16—30 cm)的生境中,而中华姬鼠频繁出现在海拔较高(1900 m左右)、草本植物较小(平均高度<15 cm)的生境中。此外,高山姬鼠频繁出现在竹林较矮(平均高度<1 m)、水源距离较近(<50 m)、植被演替阶段较低(小树林)的常绿-落叶阔叶混交林中,而中华姬鼠对这4种生态因子无明显的选择性。两种姬鼠在对生境的利用上虽具一定重叠性,但对诸多生境变量选择上的差异表明各自具有不同的生境利用模式。海拔、植被演替阶段、郁闭度和草本高度4个生境变量判别函数系数的绝对值明显大于其他变量,表明高山姬鼠和中华姬鼠在生境上的分割可能主要与这4个变量有关。生境利用模式的不同有助于两种姬鼠同域共存。     

Intestinal Helminthic Infections in Striped Field Mice,Apodemus agrarius,from Two Southern Regions of Korea

The present study was performed to know the infection status of intestinal helminths in a most common species of field mice, Apodemus agrarius, from 2 southern regions of Korea. Total 133 and 103 mice were collected by the mouse trap in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do and Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, respectively, from July 2005 to June 2006. The small intestine of each mouse was resected and longitudinally opened with a pair of scissors. The intestinal contents were washed with 0.85% saline until the supernatant became clear. Helminths were collected with naked eyes or under a stereomicroscope from the sediment of the intestinal content. More than 11 species of helminths (4 nematode spp., 5 trematode spp., and 2 cestode spp.) were recovered. Among these, heligmosomoid nematodes (97.5%) was the most highly and heavily infected species. As the members of trematodes, Plagiorchis muris, Brachylaima sp., Echinostoma hortense, Echinostoma cinetorchis, and unidentified echinostome larvae were found in the small intestines of 35 (14.8%), 12 (5.1%), 6 (2.5%), 1 (0.4%), and 1 (0.4%) mice respectively. Two species of tapeworms, Hymenolepis nana and Hymenolepis diminuta were also detected in 79 (33.5%) and 21 (8.9%) mice, respectively. Conclusively, heligmosomoid nematodes were the most prevalent (dominant) species among more than 11 helminth species detected, and Brachylaima sp. fluke is newly added in the list of intestinal trematodes in Korea.     

Monthly Occurrence of Vectors and Reservoir Rodents of Scrub Typhus in an Endemic Area of Jeollanam-do, Korea

Monthly surveys were conducted to investigate the occurrence of chigger mites and seroprevalence of scrub typhus among small mammals in Jeollanam-do, the southwestern part of Korea, from November 2006 through October 2007. Fifty-eight small mammals, including 57 Apodemus agrarius (98.3%) and 1 Crocidura lasiura (1.7%), were captured, and a total of 4,675 chigger mites representing 4 genera and 8 species were collected from them. The chigger infestation rate among small mammals was 69.0%. The most predominant species in A. agrarius was Leptotrombidium scutellare (54.0%), followed by Leptotrombidium pallidum (39.4%), Leptotrombidium orientale (4.4%), Leptotrombidium palpale (1.1%), Neotrombicula tamiyai (0.6%), Eushoengastia koreaensis (0.3%), Neotrombicula gardellai (0.3%), and Cheladonta ikaoensis (<0.1%). The chigger index of A. agrarius was the highest in October (740.0), followed by November (242.0), September (134.6), March (98.3), February (38.2), January (35.3), December (34.5), April (30.8), and May (1.7). The average antibody positive rate of scrub typhus in wild rodents was 50.0%. The seropositive rates were high in October (100.0%) and November (83.3%), whereas those in other months were relatively low (28.6-57.1%). The chigger index of L. scutellare rapidly increased in September to form an acuminate peak in October, followed by a gradual decline. These results suggest that the outbreak of scrub typhus in the southwestern part of Korean peninsula is mostly due to L. scutellare.     

基于转录组学和代谢组学联合分析黑线姬鼠睾丸下降的功能与机制

为了探究黑线姬鼠睾丸下降的功能与机制,分析其基因及代谢物水平的变化规律。本研究使用高通量测序技术和超高效液相色谱技术对黑线姬鼠下降期和正常期睾丸分别进行了转录组学和代谢组学分析。转录组学中基因本体数据库(gene ontology, GO)富集分析得到240个差异基因,包括Spesp1、Izumo1、Hyal5和Fabp9等,京都基因与基因组百科全书(Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes, KEGG)富集分析得到52个差异表达基因,包括Pcyt1、Pla2g4e、Gpd1l和Lypla3等。实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,随机选取的6个基因在黑线姬鼠下降期和正常期睾丸中的表达模式与转录组结果一致。代谢组学结果表明,差异代谢集中与睾丸功能相关差异代谢物有28个,包括3-脱氢奎宁酸、α-亚麻酸、磷酸二羟丙酮和1,6-二磷酸果糖等。联合分析结果显示,甘油磷脂代谢、α-亚麻酸代谢和花生四烯酸代谢可能是调控黑线姬鼠睾丸下降及功能发生关键代谢通路。本研究将有助于解读黑线姬鼠睾丸下降对其功能的影响机制,也可为后续深入探究黑线姬鼠种群数量变化机制及实验动物资源开发奠定理论基础。     

Serosurveillance of Scrub Typhus in Small Mammals Collected from Military Training Sites near the DMZ, Northern Gyeonggi-do, Korea, and Analysis of the Relative Abundance of Chiggers from Mammals Examined

Comprehensive quarterly serosurveillance on scrub typhus in small mammals collected from military training sites located near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), northern Gyeonggi-do (Province), ROK was conducted to determine the potential rodent-borne and associated ectoparasite disease risks to military personnel. A total of 1,196 rodents and insectivores representing 8 species, Apodemus agrarius (87.3%, n = 1,044), Mus musculus (5.4%, n = 65), Crocidura lasiura (3.3%, n = 40), Microtus fortis (2.6%, n = 31), Micromys minutus (0.3%, n = 4), Tscherskia triton (0.3%, n = 4), Rattus norvegicus (0.3%, n = 4), and Myodes regulus (0.3%, n = 4) were assayed for the presence of antibodies to Orientia tsutsugamushi. O. tsutsugamushi antibodies were detected in 6 of 8 species and seroprevalence determined; A. agrarius (45.6%), M. musculus (23.1%), M. fortis (48.4%), M. minutus (50.0%), T. triton (50.0%), and R. norvegicus (25.0%). A total of 31,184 chigger mites collected from 508 rodents and insectivores were slide-mounted and 10 species belonging to 4 genera were identified. Leptotrombidium pallidum (53.4%) was the most frequently collected, followed by L. palpale (15.7%), Neotrombicula tamiyai (14.3%), L. orientale (10.7%), L. zetum (3.1%), Walchia fragilis (2.1%), and L. gemiticulum (0.8%), while the remaining 3 species, L. subintermedium, N. gardellai, and Euschoengastia koreaensis were rarely observed (prevalence < 10%). In contrast to previous surveys, higher chigger indices of the primary scrub typhus vectors, L. pallidum (165.4), L. orientale (45.0), and L. palpale (21.4), were observed during the spring season.     

气候因素对黑线姬鼠种群动态影响的非线性效应

受全球气候变化的影响,气候因素与害鼠种群变化之间的关系成为害鼠防治研究中的热点问题。以西安市长安区周边分布的黑线姬鼠为研究对象,通过标志重捕法进行种群动态监测,掌握其种群数量的动态变化规律,并结合非线性的统计方法广义可加模型,对该地区2015—2018年黑线姬鼠种群密度和气候因素数据进行分析,探讨该鼠种群变化与气候因素之间的关系。结果表明,该地区黑线姬鼠种群数量总体显现为下降趋势。黑线姬鼠种群密度存在显著的正向自我调节效应(F_{1.00, 5.77}=27.062,P<0.01),且与上一月种群密度存在线性的正相关。当月平均温度与该鼠种群密度之间存在显著的非线性效应(F_{1.90, 5.77} =4.696,P<0.05),两者之间显现为钟型关系,当温度<21℃时,两者之间显现为正相关,黑线姬鼠种群密度随温度的升高而升高,反之显现为负相关。当月累计降雨量与其种群密度之间也存在显著的非线性效应(F_{1.87, 5.77}=3.879,P<0.05),同样,两者之间也显现为钟型关系,当降雨量>90 mm时,...     

Evaporative water loss and energy metabolic in two small mammals,voles (Eothenomys miletus) and mice (Apodemus chevrieri), in Hengduan mountains region

Evaporative water loss (EWL) and energy metabolism were measured at different temperatures in Eothenomys miletus and Apodemus chevrieri in dry air. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of E. miletus was 22.5–30 °C and that of A. chevrieri was 20–27.5 °C. Mean body temperatures of the two species were 35.75±0.5 and 36.54±0.61 °C. Basal metabolic rates (BMR) were 1.92±0.17 and 2.7±0.5 ml O₂/g h, respectively. Average minimum thermal conductance (C_m) were 0.23±0.08 and 0.25±0.06 ml O₂/g h °C. EWL in E. miletus and A. chevrieri increased with the increase in temperature; the maximal EWL at 35 °C was 4.78±0.6 mg H₂O/g h in E. miletus, and 5.92±0.43 mg H₂O/g h in A. chevrieri. Percentage of evaporative heat loss to total heat production (EHL/HP) increased with the increase in temperature; the maximal EHL/HP was 22.45% at 30 °C in E. miletus, and in A. chevrieri it was 19.96% at 27.5 °C. The results may reflect features of small rodents in the Hengduan mountains region: both E. miletus and A. chevrieri have high levels of BMR and high levels of total thermal conductance, compared with the predicted values based on their body masses, while their body temperatures are relatively low. EWL plays an important role in temperature regulation.
