蜱螨学进展

由于近年来蜱螨方面研究日益增多,蜱螨学已成为独立的新兴学科,而与昆虫学分离。1962年3月26-29日,在美国康奈尔大学曾举行了一次以“蜱螨学最近进展为题的蜱螨学术讨论会。本书就是根据此次学术讨论会所发表的部分研究论文与综述报导编成的。 全书收录论文及综述共47篇,分为8个部分,即:(1)蜱螨学的将来,1篇;(2)害螨的个体生态学与防

第十三届国际蜱螨学学术会议报道

2010年8月,由巴西圣保罗大学主办的第十三届国际蜱螨学学术会议(XIII International Congress of Acarology)在大西洋海岸累西腓召开.来自世界各地的蜱螨学专家汇报展示了不同地区的蜱螨学发展情况和研究进展.本次大会以"万能之螨研究"为主题展示了自2006年第十二届国际蜱螨学会议以来蜱螨学科所取得的成果,为世界各地的蜱螨工作者提供了一个相互交流和学习的平台.     

分子生物学在蜱螨学研究中的应用

蜱螨学从昆虫学中独立出来的30～40年的时间内,一些适合蜱螨学的研究方法得到迅速的发展与完善,分子生物学方法也开始被应用在蜱螨学的研究中,从而使得蜱螨学由形态描述之类的宏观层次研究,而开始逐渐转向生化和分子水平,DNA作为物种的遗传物质,其重要性不言而喻,然而在很长时间里,人们一直对蜱螨的遗传物质——DNA所知甚少,因此对蜱螨遗传学的研究和分子生物学技术的应用越来越重视。     

《蜱螨学手册》第二版简介

<正> 笔者曾在本刊15卷第二期(1978)介绍过G.W.Krantz所著的《蜱螨学手册》(A.Manualof Acarology)中的新蜱螨分类系统的情况。正如国外蜱螨学工作者形容蜱螨学分类的混乱情况与一百年前昆虫学的情况相似,今后会有很大的变更那样,在Krantz《蜱螨学手册》第一版出版8年之后,所出版的第二版(1978年)中,分类系统又有很大的改变,这是他又总结了近8年各国多数学者最近研究成果,从新修订的蜱螨最新分类系统。     

蜱螨学在我国三十年来发展的今昔对比(1934—1964)

随着人们的生产实践,开发大自然以及自然疫源地调查等等,接触到的蜱螨学问题也逐渐增多,所以近年来国内外对蜱螨的研究工作也迅速开展起来,根据本世纪五十年代的发展成就,己建立起一门新兴的学科——蜱螨学。蜱螨学是研究蜱螨和人类经济及健康的关系,以及利用和防制蜱螨的一门学科。研究内容包括蜱螨的形态、分类、区系、生理、生化、生态、生活史、遗传、地理分布、危害和防治等等。解放前十五年的情况解放前蜱螨学在我国可以说完全是个空白点,仅有一些零星的报导,有些还是外国人做的,国内从事这方面工作的人员大多是昆虫学工作者。仅作为动物学或昆虫学的一部分,附带发表在其他有关杂志上,根本谈不上深入系统的研究。     

第八届国际蜱螨学会议

Forensic acarology: an introduction

Mites can be found in all imaginable terrestrial habitats, in freshwater, and in salt water. Mites can be found in our houses and furnishings, on our clothes, and even in the pores of our skin—almost every single person carries mites. Most of the time, we are unaware of them because they are small and easily overlooked, and—most of the time—they do not cause trouble. In fact, they may even proof useful, for instance in forensics. The first arthropod scavengers colonising a dead body will be flies with phoretic mites. The flies will complete their life cycle in and around the corpse, while the mites may feed on the immature stages of the flies. The mites will reproduce much faster than their carriers, offering themselves as valuable timeline markers. There are environments where insects are absent or rare or the environmental conditions impede their access to the corpse. Here, mites that are already present and mites that arrive walking, through air currents or material transfer become important. At the end of the ninetieth century, the work of Jean Pierre Mégnin became the starting point of forensic acarology. Mégnin documented his observations in ‘La Faune des Cadavres’ [The Fauna of Carcasses]. He was the first to list eight distinct waves of arthropods colonising human carcasses. The first wave included flies and mites, the sixth wave was composed of mites exclusively. The scope of forensic acarology goes further than mites as indicators of time of death. Mites are micro-habitat specific and might provide evidential data on movement or relocation of bodies, or locating a suspect at the scene of a crime. Because of their high diversity, wide occurrence, and abundance, mites may be of great value in the analysis of trace evidence.

中国温带粒毛盘菌属新记录种

Lachnum is a large genus in the Helotiales, Hyaloscyphaceae. In the past decades, a large number of Lachnum species were reported from diverse regions of the world (Dennis, 1949; Haines & Dumont, 1984; Haines, 1992; Korf & Zhuang, 1985; Sharma, 1986; Spooner, 1987; Galn & Raitviir, 1994; Hawksworth et al., 1995). In China, the earliest records of Lachnum dated back to 1934 when two species were reported by Teng (1934), i.e. L. virgineum (Batsch : Fr.) P. Karst. from Zhejiang and Erine…     

Differentiation of mite species by using cellulose acetate and equilibrium polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of isoenzymes

The isoenzymes of various species of medically and economically important mites were studied using cellulose acetate and equilibrium polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Interspecific differences in isoenzymes were found, which were species-specific. Intraspecific differences in isoenzymes were also found when individual mites were examined. The efficiency of each technique, and their use in various fields of acarology, are discussed. In addition, possible phylogenetic relationships as revealed by these techniques are suggested.

DNA标记技术在螨类系统学研究中的应用

长期以来,螨类主要依靠其形态特征进行系统学研究。DNA标记是指能反映生物个体或物种间基因组中某种差异特征的DNA片段。近年来,DNA标记技术在螨类系统学研究中得到越来越广泛的应用。本文综述了随机扩增多态性RAPD、限制性内切酶片段长度多态性RFLP、微卫星SSR、核酸序列扩增、扩增片段长度多态性AFLP和直接扩增片段长度多态性DALP等6种DNA标记技术在螨类系统学研究中的应用现状及前景。     

中国昆虫分类学研究进展

<正> 中国自然条件复杂,昆虫种类繁多,特别是横断山区、青藏高原和云南西双版纳等热带雨林地区昆虫区系丰富多彩,受到国内、外昆虫分类学家的青睐。根据保守估计,中国应有15万种昆虫。中华人民共和国成立前夕我国仅记载20069种昆虫,其中中国人命名的仅204种,绝大多数模式标本及文献资料均散落于国外;分

Integrating ecology and genetics to address Acari invasions

Because of their small size and tolerance to many of the control procedures used for a wide variety of commodities, Acari species have become one of the fastest, unwanted pest travelers since the beginning of this century. This special issue includes eleven studies on adventive and invasive Acari species affecting major crops and livestock around the world. The nucleus for this special issue is formed by the presentations in the symposium on invasive mites and ticks organized at the International Congress of Acarology in Recife, Brazil (ICA-13), in the summer of 2010. This special issue illustrates the increased concerns about domestic and international invasive mites and ticks worldwide.
