空气和土壤湿度对美洲斑潜蝇发育与存活的影响

美洲斑潜蝇 L iriomyza sativae在相对含水量 0 %～ 10 0 % (W/W)的土壤中均可化蛹 ,但以含水量为 40 %的土壤化蛹量最高 ,占总蛹数的 3 0 .0 %。以相对含水量为 10 0 %的土壤化蛹量最低 ,占总蛹数的 4.2 %。不同土壤含水量对该蝇的羽化具有明显的影响 ,在 3 0℃时 ,以相对含水量为 60 %的土壤最适于蛹的发育 ,其蛹期最短 (7.50 d) ,羽化率最高 (93 .3 % )。反之 ,淫湿 (相对含水量为 10 0 % )和干涸 (相对含水量为 0 % )的土壤均不利于蛹的发育 ,其蛹期延长 (依次为 8.17d和 8.0 d) ,羽化率明显降低(依次为 13 .3 %和 10 .0 % )。在空气相对湿度 (RH )为 0 %、52 %、76%和 10 0 % ,室温为 3 0℃的处理中 ,蛹的失水率随其日龄的增高而增加。在蛹羽化的前 1d,高湿 (RH10 0 % )处理的失水率为 10 .1% ,低湿处理 (RH0 % )为 41.6% ,对照 (RH76% )为 18.2 %。在各 RH 下 ,蛹 1日龄后的逐日累计失水率都与它们的日龄呈明显的线性关系。在 3 0℃ ,蛹在 8h内测定的表皮渗透力最大为2 .59μg/(cm2 · h· mm Hg)     

棉铃虫蛹期在极端湿度下的失水动态

研究了极端相对湿度 (0%、9%、22.5%、80%、90%和100%) 对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera蛹期发育、存活和水分动态的影响。发育蛹在25℃下,相对湿度≤9%时, 不能羽化;湿度为22.5%时,羽化率不足20%; 高湿不影响它们的存活。在同样温度下,湿度≥9%时,滞育蛹在一个月内都极少死亡;在此期间,滞育终止率随湿度降低而升高。各湿度处理组发育蛹和滞育蛹从1日龄起的累计失水率都与其日龄呈线性相关。三个低湿处理组发育蛹中死亡个体在死亡前的平均累计失水率都在32%以上。滞育蛹经0%湿度处理一个月,平均仅失水22.4%;在湿度≥90%时的同期失水率不超过3.6%。在30℃下,发育蛹在4 h内测定的表皮渗透力最大,分别是9.0(♀)和10.7(♂) μg/(cm²·h·mm Hg); 滞育蛹的相应值出现在2 h内, 分别为 4.7(♀)和5.4(♂) μg/(cm²·h·mm Hg)。

不同龄期幼虫饥饿对美国白蛾Hyphantria cunea(Drury)生长发育和繁殖影响的研究结果表明:美国白蛾低龄(2龄)幼虫短时间的饥饿对其生长发育和繁殖的影响不明显;美国白蛾中龄(4龄)幼虫饥饿2,4,6d使美国白蛾的历期相应增长,存活率、化蛹率、羽化率、产卵量都相应降低,交配率与对照之间没有差异;老熟(6龄)幼虫短时间饥饿(4d)的存活率、羽化率、交配率、产卵量都稍有下降;长时间饥饿(12d)的老熟幼虫有70%左右因饥饿而提前化蛹,提前化蛹的蛹体外没有薄茧的包裹。提前化蛹的美国白蛾的羽化率、交配率均非常低,产卵量很少。     

沙雷氏杆菌S3菌株产几丁质酶对棉铃虫不同虫龄幼虫的后致死作用

研究了粘质沙雷氏杆菌（Serratia marcesens）S3菌株产几丁质酶（Chitinase）对棉铃虫(Helicoverpa armigera)的后致死作用。生物测定表明,沙雷氏杆菌S3菌株产几丁质酶对棉铃虫幼虫48h的毒力不高,其中几丁质酶浓度为50μg/mL对初孵幼虫的毒杀力仅为8.3%,对高龄幼虫48h不表现毒力。但几丁质酶对棉铃虫幼虫特别是低龄幼虫生长发育如10d龄虫重、蛹重、化蛹历期、蜕皮、羽化等影响较大,造成棉铃虫幼虫化蛹历期延长,死蛹率和不正常羽化率增加。其中经几丁质酶处理后的初孵、1d龄、2d龄、3d龄、4d龄幼虫蛹重分别是对照组的51.0%、77.1%、81.4%、86.0%、96.2%;化蛹率分别为74.5%、87.5%、93.7%、95.8%、95.8%,都低于对照组的97.9%;死蛹率分别为57.3%、18.8%、13.6%、7.8%、7.9%;初孵幼虫化蛹历期长达14d;初孵幼虫的正常羽化的蛹只有40.8%。几丁质酶对棉铃虫的后致死作用明显。

Comparison of BMI and percentage of body fat of Indian and German children and adolescents

Today, serious health problems as overweight and obesity are not just constricted to the developed world, but also increase in the developing countries (Prentice 2006, Ramachandram et al. 2002). Focusing on this issue, BMI and percentage of body fat were compared in 2094 schoolchildren from two cross-sectional studies from India and Germany investigated in 2008 and 2009. The German children are in all age groups significantly taller, whereas the Indian children show higher values in BMI (e.g. 12 years: Indian: around 22 kg/m2; German: around 19 kg/m2) and in the percentage of body fat (e.g. 12 years: Indian: around 27%; German: around 18-20%) in most of the investigated age groups. The Indian children have significantly higher BMI between 10 and 13 (boys) respectively 14 years (girls). Indian children showed significant higher percentage of body fat between 10 and 15 years (boys) and between 8 and 16 years (girls). The difference in overweight between Indian and German children was strongest at 11 (boys) and 12 (girls) years: 70% of the Indian but 20% of the German children were classified as overweight. In countries such as India that undergo nutritional transition, a rapid increase in obesity and overweight is observed. In contrast to the industrialized countries, the risk of overweight in developing countries is associated with high socioeconomic status. Other reasons of the rapid increase of overweight in the developing countries caused by different environmental or genetic factors are discussed.     

Molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia and assessment of zoonotic transmission

The molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is essential for accurately identifying organisms and assessing zoonotic transmission. Results of recent molecular epidemiological studies strongly suggest that zoonotic transmission plays an important role in cryptosporidiosis epidemiology. In such cases the most prevalent zoonotic species is Cryptosporidium parvum. Genotyping and subtyping data suggest that zoonotic transmission is not as prevalent in the epidemiology of giardiasis. Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is a relatively recent application that is evolving as new genes are found that increase the accuracy of identification while discovering a greater diversity of species and yet unnamed taxa within these two important genera. As molecular data accumulate, our understanding of the role of zoonotic transmission in epidemiology and clinical manifestations is becoming clearer.     

Synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phosphatidylserine of myelin and microsomal fractions of adult and developing rat brain.

The synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phospholipids was followed in microsomal and myelin fractions of developing and adult rat brains after an intracerebral injection of [U-14C]serine. The kinetics of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal and myelin cerebrosides indicate the possibility of a precursor-product relationship between cerebrosides of these membranes. The specific radioactivity of myelin cerebrosides was corrected for the deposition of newly formed cerebrosides in myelin. Multiphasic curves were obtained for the decline in specific radioactivity of myelin and microsomal cerebrosides, suggesting different cerebroside pools in these membranes. The half-life of the fast turning-over pool of cerebrosides of myelin was 7 and 22 days for the developing and adult rat brain respectively. The half-life of the slowly turning-over pool of myelin cerebrosides was about 145 days for both groups of animals. The half-life of the rapidly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was calculated to be 20 and 40 h for the developing and adult animals respectively. The half-life of the intermediate and slowly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was 11 and 60 days respectively, for both groups of animals. The amount of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal cerebrosides from L-serine was greatly decreased in the adult animals, and greater amounts of the precursor were directed towards the synthesis of phosphatidylserine. In the developing animals, considerable amounts of cerebrosides were synthesized from L-serine, besides phosphatidylserine. The time-course of incorporation indicated that a precursor-product relationship exists between microsomal and myelin phosphatidylserine. The half-life of microsomal phosphatidylserine was calculated to be about 8 h for the fast turning-over pool in both groups of animals.     

Identification and composition of the tonsillar and anal enterococcal and streptococcal flora of dogs and cats

Enterococcus faecalis was the most frequently isolated enterococcal species from anal swabs and tonsils of dogs and cats, although in the anal samples from dogs Ent. hirae was found almost as often as Ent. faecalis. Most Ent.faecium strains from dog tonsils differed from those associated with humans and other animals in that they fermented sorbitol. Typical Ent. avium as well as atypical Ent. avium -like strains were seen in dogs, while the related species Ent. raffinosus was associated with cat tonsils. Enterococcus cecorum also occurred mainly in cats. Certain atypical strains, presumptively identified as Ent. cecorum , shared characteristics with Ent. columbae.
The most frequent streptococcal species in tonsils of cats and dogs were Streptococcus suis and Strep. canis. Streptococcus canis and Strep. bovis predominated in anal swabs. The canine Strep. suis differed from the common porcine strains in fermenting mannitol.
Forty-seven of the 288 isolates examined could not be identified or related to known species. The characteristics of two groups of these bacteria, provisionally called 'Ton 31 group' and 'O7 group' are described.
