北美水貂和欧亚水獭在东北地区的分布与生态位重叠

作为入侵物种,北美水貂(Neovison vison)在欧洲引起了一系列生态问题,侵占了欧亚水獭(Lutra lutra)的生态空间,其入侵性对当地生物多样性和生态系统构成了严重威胁。水貂引入我国东北地区已有70多年的历史,然而国内对其野外种群却鲜有研究。掌握水貂种群的入侵范围、入侵影响因素以及与本地具有相似生态位的欧亚水獭之间的竞争关系,对水貂的入侵管理和东北地区的生物多样性保护具有重要意义。本研究利用实地调查和文献资料获取的分布信息,通过集合模型识别水貂和水獭的潜在分布区,评估水貂对水獭在地理空间上的入侵风险,并通过主成分分析(principal component analysis,PCA)评估其生态位重叠和影响因素。结果表明:(1)我国东北地区水貂的潜在分布区面积为61,944.57 km²,水獭的潜在分布区面积为83,590.94 km²,两者重叠区域面积为50,544.21 km²,占水獭潜在分布区面积的60.47%;(2)从各省分布情况来看,黑龙江省水獭受水貂入侵的风险最高,潜在分布区重叠的比例达到78.9...

稀有鮈鲫──一种新的鱼类毒性试验材料

本文研究了稀有鲫（Ｇｏｂｉｏｃｙｐｒｉｓｒａｒｕｓ）作为毒性试验材料的可行性。采用换水式试验,在硬度为２００ｍｇ／Ｌ（以ＣａＣＯ３计）、ｐＨ７．８±０．２、温度２４－２５℃条件下研究了铬、铜、锌和五氯酚（ＰＣＰ）对稀有鲫的急性毒性。重铬酸钾对２日龄稀有鲫的２４ｈ和９６ｈ和ＬＣ５０控制范围分别２６３．６－３３４．７和１１５３－１７８．５ｍｇ／Ｌ（ｎ＝８）。铬、铜、锌和五氯酚对２日龄稀有鲫的急性毒性值（９６ｈＬＣ５０）范围,从铜的５２．２μｇ／Ｌ到铬的５２０００μｇ／Ｌ,毒性大小的顺序是铜＞五氯酚＞锌＞铬。研究结果表明,稀有鲫有可能发展成为一种较为理想的毒性试验材料。

不同来源的肾综合征出血热病毒对Vero细胞的致病变作用

前文报道,肾综合征出血热病毒76-118株能使Vero细胞产生病变。本文报道76-118株和另11株不同来源的肾综合征出血热病毒(H537、A9、H5、R178、HB55、R22、Z10,沟3、L99、A16和J10)对Vero细胞的致病变作用(CPE )。其中除沟3株外,大部分毒株在感染Vero细胞后的第一代即可见明显的CPE。CPE的特点与76-118株相似,主要是感染细胞粘聚、融合,形成网状结构。CPE能被特异性抗HFRS病毒血清和型特异性单克隆抗体所中和抑制,但不能被特异性抗呼肠孤病毒Ⅲ型免疫血清所中和抑制。HFRS病毒对Vero细胞的致病变作用,对进一步研究HFRS病毒的某些生物学特性及实验方法等均有重要意义。     

Effects of hydrostatic pressure on a membrane-enveloped virus: high immunogenicity of the pressure-inactivated virus.

A new approach to the preparation of antiviral vaccines relying on the inactivation of the virus particle by hydrostatic pressure is described. The enveloped virus vesicular stomatitis virus was utilized as a model; a pressure of 260 MPa applied for 12 h reduced infectivity by a factor of 10(4), and the antibodies against pressurized material were as effective as those against the intact virus when measured by their neutralization titer. Fluorescence measurements indicate that application of pressure results in perturbations of the particle interactions that permit binding of specific molecular probes. Electron microscopy showed that the membrane of the pressurized virus was partially preserved, presenting the spike pattern of the membrane G protein. Unlike the icosahedral viruses, dissociation into smaller particles was not observed, but a constant change in the morphology was the presence of a bulge in the surface of the pressurized virus, indicating a displacement of the capsid subunits, retained under the lipid and protein membrane.     

The Unique GGA Clathrin Adaptor of Drosophila melanogaster Is Not Essential

The Golgi-localized, γ-ear-containing, ARF binding proteins (GGAs) are a highly conserved family of monomeric clathrin adaptor proteins implicated in clathrin-mediated protein sorting between the trans-Golgi network and endosomes. GGA RNAi knockdowns in Drosophila have resulted in conflicting data concerning whether the Drosophila GGA (dGGA) is essential. The goal of this study was to define the null phenotype for the unique Drosophila GGA. We describe two independently derived dGGA mutations. Neither allele expresses detectable dGGA protein. Homozygous and hemizygous flies with each allele are viable and fertile. In contrast to a previous report using RNAi knockdown, GGA mutant flies show no evidence of age-dependent retinal degeneration or cathepsin missorting. Our results demonstrate that several of the previous RNAi knockdown phenotypes were the result of off-target effects. However, GGA null flies are hypersensitive to dietary chloroquine and to starvation, implicating GGA in lysosomal function and autophagy.
