几种驱避化合物对白纹伊蚊寄主搜寻能力的影响

研究了白纹伊蚊Aedes albopictus在含不同浓度的驱避化合物的空间内停留不同时间后,对其寄主搜寻能力的影响。结果显示：在密闭空间中, 分别以0.013～0.500 μg/cm³浓度的柠檬醛、丁香酚、芳樟醇、香叶醇、茴香醛处理白纹伊蚊24～96 h后,试蚊均出现不同程度的定向寄主抑制,其中以茴香醛及香叶醇抑制效果最佳,但香茅醛各处理组试蚊均未受到影响。白纹伊蚊搜寻定向寄主能力受到抑制的个体,在实验室正常饲养后,可逐渐恢复;但茴香醛0.250 μg/cm³处理试虫96 h后,一直未能恢复正常的吸血行为。研究结果提示,茴香醛与香叶醇作为优良的空间驱避剂,在白纹伊蚊防控技术领域可发挥重要作用。

植物提取物对B型烟粉虱的驱避效果研究

烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci是许多大田和温室作物的重要害虫。其食性杂,寄主广泛,除通过取食植物汁液造成为害外,还传播病毒和引起植物生理异常。本研究使用\"Y\"型嗅觉仪研究了6种植物精油和4种植物水提取物对B型烟粉虱成虫的驱避效果。结果表明:5μL的剂量下,6种精油的驱避指数(RI)为:山楂(60.09)花椒(48.53)霍香正气水(2.83)车前(-30.01)紫苏(-36.13)鱼腥草(-47.07);在α=0.05水平下,除霍香正气水外,其他处理均与空白对照有显著差异。山楂和花椒等量混合的精油的驱避指数为45.00;5 g/L的剂量下4种植物水提取物的驱避指数为:八角(41.28)大蒜(39.37)陈皮(39.09)花椒(35.45)。     

白纹伊蚊和埃及伊蚊对基孔肯雅病毒的易感性和传播性的研究

用４株基孔肯雅病毒经口感染白纹伊蚊和埃及伊蚊,进行了易感性和传播性的研究。结果表明,这两种蚊虫对基孔肯雅病毒易感。无论白纹伊蚊或埃及伊蚊,感染后第５－６天即可通过吸血将病毒传播给乳鼠,至第８－１３天,传播率可高达５５．５５％－１００％。感染蚊亦可经叮咬将病毒传播给小鸡。埃及伊蚊的易感性和传播率高于白纹伊蚊。实验还发现,不同来源毒株之间存在一定差异,如分离自云南白纹伊蚊的Ｍ８１株的感染率和传播率均高于其它毒株。这些结果表明,白纹伊蚊和埃及伊蚊在基孔肯雅病毒的保存和传播中起重要作用。     

猫薄荷精油有效成分的提取及其对白纹伊蚊、淡色库蚊的驱避活性

采用同时蒸馏萃取及硅胶柱层析法从猫薄荷Nepeta cataria 植物中提取、分离制得驱蚊有效成分假荆芥内酯,并采用个体涂肤有效保护时间测定法及风洞空间驱避效果测试法, 对假荆芥内酯与避蚊胺(DEET)的驱蚊效果进行了对比试验。结果表明,400 g新鲜猫薄荷植株可制得精油5.6 g,其中假荆芥内酯含量为55%,Z,E-假荆芥内酯32%, E,Z-假荆芥内酯23%。室内标准药效评价结果表明,DEET对白纹伊蚊Aedes albopictus 及淡色库蚊Culex pipiens pallens有效保护时间分别为9.6±0.2 h与11.5±1.5 h,而假荆芥内酯仅为2.2±0.2 h与4.3±0.8 h。风洞定向行为测试结果表明,假荆芥内酯单独作用时,对蚊虫有微弱的引诱效果,但在人体气味及二氯甲烷L-乳酸存在时,可显著抑制这些引诱物对蚊虫的引诱效果,是优良的空间驱避剂;DEET对蚊虫无明显的引诱作用,对二氯甲烷L-乳酸溶液引诱剂也无明显的抑制效果,但可显著增强人体气味对蚊虫的引诱性。     

基于Y型驱避测定尺的红火蚁驱避剂筛选新方法

筛选测定方法是开发红火蚁Solenopsis invicta Buren驱避剂的重要环节,目前尚缺乏针对攻击水平较高的红火蚁驱避活性的测定方法。本研究利用自主研发的一种Y型驱避测定尺监测了红火蚁工蚁的活动规律,对比了裸型和绷带型Y型驱避测定尺对攀爬红火蚁工蚁数量的影响,并测定了避蚊胺对红火蚁工蚁的驱避活性。结果表明：Y型驱避测定尺的侧臂长度与红火蚁工蚁的密度呈负相关,选择侧臂长度11 cm的Y型驱避测定尺用于驱避活性测定。室内红火蚁工蚁受惊扰后75 s内数量涨幅较大,而田间红火蚁工蚁受扰动后30 s时数量可达到峰值,裸型和绷带型Y型驱避测定尺的工蚁数量在不同时间点上均无显著性差异（P> 0.05）。避蚊胺对红火蚁的驱避效果显著,随着处理浓度上升,驱避率和有效驱避时间也随之提高,裸型和绷带型Y型驱避测定尺分别在5.0%和10.0%浓度时的驱避率达到100%,当避蚊胺浓度为5.0%时,裸型尺和绷带型尺的有效驱避时间分别可达198.16 min、228.14 min。本研究设计并优化的Y型驱避测定尺可直接测定化合物对惊扰状态下红火蚁的驱避活性,为红火蚁驱避剂的筛选与评价提供了一种新方法,同时也为红火蚁个体防护剂的研发提供了技术支撑。     

非寄主植物精油对桔小实蝇的驱避效果研究

桔小实蝇Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel幼虫期隐蔽性的取食习性降低了化学防治的效果,而普遍存在的杀虫剂耐药性则加剧了这一问题。利用非寄主植物挥发物驱避害虫是替代化学防治、有效控制虫害的策略之一。为了筛选更有效的植物源产卵驱避剂,本研究选取23种非寄主植物精油作为候选材料,进行4轮试验,首先采用行为趋向反应试验,筛选出8种驱避率较高且选择反应率和驱避反应率差异极显著（P<0.01）的非寄主植物精油：绿花白千层、山鸡椒、广藿香、当归、茶树、茴香、薄荷、艾草;然后通过产卵驱避活性试验,筛选出4种驱避率高且处理组与对照组的产卵量差异极显著（P<0.01）的植物精油：绿花白千层、广藿香、当归、茶树。浓度梯度试验表明,浓度为5 000 μg/mL时,绿花白千层、广藿香、当归驱避率最高,浓度为3 000 μg/mL时,茶树精油驱避率最高;在最佳浓度下对桔小实蝇产卵驱避持效性分析,结果表明最佳浓度下4种精油处理过的果实,随着时间延长,桔小实蝇产卵孔和产卵量逐渐增加,驱避率逐渐降低,驱避产卵活性逐渐消失,前3 d降速较快,然后逐渐放缓。本研究通过行为趋向反应试验、产卵驱避活性试验、浓度梯度试验和驱避活性持效试验,从23种非寄主植物精油中,筛选到绿花白千层精油对桔小实蝇有较高的产卵驱避活性,通过剂型改良等措施有望开发成植物源驱避剂。     

Clones of Aedes albopictus cells resistant to methylmercaptopurine riboside

Four clones of A. albopictus cells resistant to 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside (MMPR) (MMPR-10, -11, -12, and -21) were isolated after mutagenesis of the parental LT C-7 cells. As assayed by plating efficiencies these clones were from ten- to 20-fold more resistant to MMPR than the LT C-7 cells. Resistance was also demonstrated by the fact that concentrations of MMPR, which reduced the levels of ATP and GTP in LT C-7 cells, had no such effect in the MMPR-resistant cells. When de novo purine biosynthesis was measured by the incorporation of [14C]formate into ATP and GTP, MMPR had little effect on the MMPR-10 cells (15% inhibition) but did depress synthesis considerably in the MMPR-11 cells (80% inhibition) although not as severely as in the LT C-7 cells (95% inhibition). Three of the resistant clones which were tested also showed considerable resistance to guanosine. Although the mechanism of resistance to MMPR in these cells is not clear it likely involves some alteration in one of the early enzymes involved in purine biosynthesis. Resistant as well as sensitive cells showed a new high-performance liquid chromatography peak after treatment with MMPR suggesting that there was no defect in the uptake of MMPR. The conversion of labeled adenosine to AMP, ADP, and ATP in the resistant cells indicated that these cells were not deficient in adenosine kinase, another possible mechanism of resistance to MMPR. All clones showed a reduction in GTP following treatment with ribavirin; however, they varied considerably with respect to the amount of ribavirin triphosphate which they formed. In the case of the MMPR-11 cells the amount of ribavirin triphosphate formed was markedly sensitive to cultural conditions. The fact that the various MMPR-resistant cells responded differently to ribavirin, and that quantitative differences were also seen in their responses to MMPR (as measured by [14C]formate incorporation) and to guanosine, suggests that there are significant phenotypic differences among these resistant clones.     

不同植物浸液对白纹伊蚊的产卵引诱作用

Laboratory evaluation of Toxorhynchites splendens (Diptera: Culicidae) for predation of Aedes albopictus mosquito larvae

Biology of the mosquito Toxorhynchites splendens (Wiedemann) was studied in the laboratory to provide baseline data for using the predatory larvae of this species against those of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in a biological control programme. The mean incubation time of Tx.splendens eggs was 43.8 h and the time required for newly-hatched larvae to initiate predation was 2.5 h. Mean numbers of prey larvae consumed and killed by each Tx.splendens larva totalled 389 and 345 respectively. The larval period of Tx.splendens was not significantly different for rearing individually or in groups of nine, with equal prey density, and duration of larval development was proportional to prey density. In mass rearing, larval cannibalism was usually observed during days 1-3 post-eclosion. The incidence of cannibalism decreased sharply on the fourth day after hatching when some larvae became fourth-instar. Adult female Tx.splendens usually commenced oviposition on day 4 after emergence. The number of eggs laid daily increased on day 7 and the peak oviposition of 6.3 eggs/female/day occurred on day 11. When oviposition containers were provided only intermittently, gravid females of Tx.splendens scattered most of their eggs on the dry floor of the cage. Viability of eggs laid by females aged 4-14 days was high (60-90%) but decreased to less than 40% as the females aged.     

Intestinal expression of H+ V-ATPase in the mosquito Aedes albopictus is tightly associated with gregarine infection

Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is a family of ATP-dependent proton pumps expressed on the plasma membrane and endomembranes of eukaryotic cells. Acidification of intracellular compartments, such as lysosomes, endosomes, and parasitophorous vacuoles, mediated by V-ATPase is essential for the entry by many enveloped viruses and invasion into or escape from host cells by intracellular parasites. In mosquito larvae, V-ATPase plays a role in regulating alkalization of the anterior midgut. We extracted RNA from larval tissues of Aedes albopictus, cloned the full-length sequence of mRNA of V-ATPase subunit A, which contains a poly-A tail and 2,971 nucleotides, and expressed the protein. The fusion protein was then used to produce rabbit polyclonal antibodies, which were used as a tool to detect V-ATPase in the midgut and Malpighian tubules of mosquito larvae. A parasitophorous vacuole was formed in the midgut in response to invasion by Ascogregarina taiwanensis, confining the trophozoite(s). Acidification was demonstrated within the vacuole using acridine orange staining. It is concluded that gregarine sporozoites are released by ingested oocysts in the V-ATPase-energized high-pH environment. The released sporozoites then invade and develop in epithelial cells of the posterior midgut. Acidification of the parasitophorous vacuoles may be mediated by V-ATPase and may facilitate exocytosis of the vacuole confining the trophozoites from the infected epithelial cells for further extracellular development.     

Laboratory and field evaluation of insect repellents as oviposition deterrents against the mosquito Aedes albopictus

Three experimental approaches were used to evaluate the oviposition deterrency of three insect repellents, AI3-35765, AI3-37220 (piperidine compounds), and the standard N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) to the mosquito Aedes albopictus Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae). Against laboratory-reared Ae. albopictus gravid females, the EC50 values of AI3-37220, AI3-35765 and deet were 0.004%, 0.008% and 0.011% in laboratory cages and 0.004%, 0.01% and 0.009% in an outdoor screened cage. For a natural population of Ae. albopictus tested in the field, the EC50 values were determined as 0.004%, 0.008% and 0.001%, respectively. Ageing concentrations of 0.1% of each repellent provided >50% effective oviposition deterrency against the laboratory population of Ae. albopictus for 13 days in laboratory cages, for 15 days in the outdoor cage, and for 21 days against field population of Ae. albopictus in Florida. These topical skin repellents are effective oviposition deterrents for Ae. albopictus when employed at relatively low application rates.     

First record in America of Aedes albopictus naturally infected with dengue virus during the 1995 outbreak at Reynosa, Mexico

Abstract Mosquito collections were conducted during a dengue outbreak in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, July-December 1995. A total of 6694 adult mosquitoes (four genera and nine species) were captured, of which 2986 (78.3% females and 21.7% males) were Aedes albopictus and 2339 (39.7% females and 60.3% males) were Ae.aegypti. These two species comprised 84.2% of the total collection. Specimens were grouped into pools, nearly 50% of them processed for detection of virus by cythopathic effect in C6-36 and VERO cell cultures and by haemagglutination test. Five pools gave positive haemagglutin-ation reactions and were examined by immunofluorescence using monoclonal antibodies to flavivirus and to dengue virus. One pool of ten Ae.albopictus males was positive for dengue virus: serotypes 2 and 3 were identified by serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies arid confirmed by RT-PCR. This is the first report of Ae.albopictus naturally infected with dengue virus in America. Also, it is the very first time Ae.albopictus males have been found infected with dengue virus in the wild.     

Horizontal transfer of the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen to larval microcosms by gravid Aedes albopictus and Ochlerotatus triseriatus mosquitoes in the laboratory

The insect growth regulator (IGR) pyriproxyfen is highly active against mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). Through continuous emersion of large larvae (instars 3-4) the concentration causing 50% inhibition of adult emergence (EI50) was determined as 0.200 p.p.b. for Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and 3.5 to 7 times less for Ochlerotatus triseriatus (Say): IE50 0.0288 p.p.b. As a possible method of application to larval microcosms of these species that oviposit in water containers and phytotelmata, the horizontal transfer of pyriproxyfen to larval microcosms by adult mosquitoes was evaluated under laboratory conditions. Gravid females were forced to walk on surfaces treated with pyriproxyfen (tarsal contact exposure) and then allowed to oviposit in larval microcosms. Using replicate bioassay cages, each with an oviposition container, and a factorial experimental design, we assessed Ae. albopictus for the effects of (i) pyriproxyfen concentration (0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mg/cm2) contacted by gravid females, and (ii) the number of treated gravid females added to bioassay cages (one, three or five females/cage), on the mortality of larvae in oviposition containers. Only 0.2 mg/cm2 treatment rate was tested on Oc. triseriatus. A significant (P < 0.05) curvilinear response in inhibition of emergence (IE) was achieved on both species. Densities of one or three treated Oc. triseriatus females/cage yielded IE rates of only 21-27%, whereas five treated females/cage resulted in 70% inhibition. With Ae. albopictus, densities of three or five treated females/cage yielded 48-67% and 59-73% IE, respectively, whereas one treated female/cage gave only 4-30% inhibition. Use of IGR-treated oviposition containers to achieve horizontal transfer of pyriproxyfen to mosquito oviposition sites could be a field management technique based on mosquito biology and behaviour. In binary choice tests with Ae. albopictus, horizontal transfer of pyriproxyfen from a container with a treated ovistrip (0.3 or 0.4 mg/cm2) to an untreated microcosm resulted in 14-38% inhibition. In larval bioassays, pyriproxyfen activity declined markedly within 10 days. Forcibly exposing gravid female mosquitoes to pyriproxyfen-treated paper surface did not affect their fecundity. However, from the 1st to 2nd gonotrophic cycles the egg hatch rate declined by 30% (P < 0.05). Some variation of results could be due to interactions between females at the oviposition site, possibly causing disproportionate transfer of pyriproxyfen to larval microcosms. Comparative studies of the oviposition behaviour of each mosquito are warranted and would potentially provide information needed to improve the technique.
