草地贪夜蛾核型多角体病毒对我国草地贪夜蛾不同地理种群毒力的比较分析

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda（J. E. Smith）入侵我国多个地区,逐渐形成地理种群。在草地贪夜蛾核型多角体病毒Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus（SfMNPV）生物农药的生产过程中发现,不同地理来源的宿主对SfMNPV的敏感性和产量存在明显差异,显著影响了SfMNPV的生产效率。为解析其敏感性差异及其产生的原因,本研究首先对云南德宏、广东广州、广西钦州、西藏林芝4个地区草地贪夜蛾种群基因型进行了鉴定,采用生物测定法测试SfMNPV对4龄幼虫的口服毒力,然后,通过向幼虫体内注射草地贪夜蛾核多角体病毒出芽型病毒粒子（budded virions,BVs）的方式,越过口服感染中肠的过程,分析敏感性差异发生的阶段。最后比较了高敏感和低敏感种群中肠肠液pH,并基于16S rDNA测序测定了肠道菌群组成。结果表明,广西种群属于纯合玉米型,其余种群为带有水稻型COI标记的杂合玉米型。广西种群对SfMNPV的口服敏感性最低,西藏种群的敏感性最高,但两者注射BV后死亡率差异无统计学意义,暗示病毒敏感性差异发生在口服感染阶段。广西种群中肠pH略低于西藏种群,并且较于西藏种群,广西种群相肠道乳杆菌Lactobacillus丰度高。本文结果表明,肠道微环境的差异可能是不同地理种群草地贪夜蛾对SfMNPV口服敏感性产生差异的原因。

Realized niche shift associated with Galinsoga quadriradiata (Asteraceae) invasion in China

粗毛牛膝菊在中国的入侵与生态位漂移有关 在外来物种入侵和扩散过程中,生态位的漂移可能起到了重要作用。粗毛牛膝菊(Galinsoga quadriradiata) 在中国已造成了较为严重的入侵,占据了许多与其原产地不同的气候区。为此,本研究力图揭示粗毛牛膝菊入侵过程中的气候生态位漂移,分析其在该物种入 侵中国过程中可能发挥的作用。本研究结合粗毛牛膝菊原 产地和入侵地的分布点与气候数据, 采用Maxent模型预测了其在中国潜在的分布,并采用主成分分析的方法评估 了在入侵中国过程中粗毛牛膝菊气候生态位的漂移。模型结果显示,该物种原产地种群和入侵地种群之间只 有32.7%的生态位重叠,两个种群的生态位相似性较低(Schoener's D = 0.093, P < 0.005),这暗示了在其入侵过程中发生了生态位漂移。相比于其原产地种群,其在中国的入侵种群气候生态位的整体范围和中心都明 显地漂移向了温度更低、降水更少的区域;中国南方大部分区域属于粗毛牛膝菊的稳定适生区,而位于入侵 前沿的北方地区则存在局域适应和潜在拓殖区域。这些研究结果说明,粗毛牛膝菊在中国的入侵种群仍处于准平衡阶段,未来有可能继续向新的适生区扩散入侵,其生态位的变化有力地解释了为什么该物种在中国的入侵性强、危害范围大。

基于层次分析法对白垩纪短脉螽科昆虫后足胫节端距的游泳能力检测

短脉螽科是直翅目昆虫的一个中生代灭绝类群,其最重要特征之一是后足胫节末端具有3—4根较长的距,可以分为长刺状、棒状和叶状等3种类型。在假设短脉螽科具有游泳能力条件下,利用层次分析法(Analytic Hierarchy Process,AHP)探讨短脉螽不同后足胫节端距类型对游泳能力的贡献。分析表明短脉螽科昆虫中,具有叶状端距的类型更有利于提高该类昆虫的游泳能力。短脉螽科昆虫后足端距的高分异度,表明该科昆虫在白垩纪的近水环境不同生态位中均具有较好的适应性。     

Construction of a sensitive pyrogen-testing cell model by site-specific knock-in of multiple genes

A pyrogen test is crucial for evaluating the safety of drugs and medical equipment, especially those involved in injections. As existing pyrogen tests, including the rabbit pyrogen test, the limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test and the monocyte activation test have limitations, development of new models for pyrogen testing is necessary. Here we develop a sensitive cell model for pyrogen test based on the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) signal pathway. TLR4, MD2, and CD14 play key roles in the LPS-mediated pyrogen reaction. We established a new TLR4/MD2/CD14-specific overexpressing knock-in cell model using the CRISPR/CAS9 technology and homologous recombination to detect LPS. Stimulation of our TLR4/CD14/MD2 knock-in cell line model with LPS leads to the release of the cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha, with a detection limit of 0.005 EU/ml, which is greatly lower than the lower limit of 0.015 EU/ml detected by the Tachypleus amebocyte lysate (TAL) assay.     

Intercropping oilseed rape as a potential relay crop for enhancing the biological control of green peach aphids and aphid‐transmitted virus diseases

Tobacco viruses transmitted by green peach aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), cause severe disease in flue‐cured tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae), in China and throughout the world. Field experiments were conducted in 2016 and 2017 in Longyan City, Fujian Province, China, to determine whether M. persicae and aphid‐transmitted virus diseases are affected by intercropping of oilseed rape, Brassica napus L. (Brassicaceae), in tobacco fields. The results showed that, compared with those in monocultured fields, the densities of M. persicae and winged aphids in intercropped fields significantly decreased in both 2016 and 2017. In particular, the appearance of winged aphids was delayed by ca. 7 days. Moreover, the densities of Aphidius gifuensis Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae), a parasitoid of the aphid, significantly increased in 2016 and 2017. Accordingly, the incidence rates of aphid‐transmitted virus diseases (those caused by the cucumber mosaic virus, potato virus Y, and tobacco etch virus) significantly decreased in the intercropped fields in 2016 and 2017. Tobacco yields and monetary value significantly increased in 2016 (by 10–25 and 14–29%, respectively) and 2017 (by 17–22 and 22–34%, respectively). Consequently, our results suggest that intercropping oilseed rape in tobacco fields is a good approach to regulating and controlling aphids and tobacco mosaic viruses, for example potyvirus, and this intercropping can help control aphid‐transmitted virus diseases in tobacco.     

上海口岸输入性传染性肺结核病患者中结核分枝杆菌北京型特征及耐药性分析

本研究旨在了解上海口岸输入性传染性肺结核病患者中结核分枝杆菌北京型特征及其对一线抗结核药物的耐药情况,从而正确评估输入性结核病给上海地区带来的公共卫生危害,同时为地区传染性结核病防治策略的制定提供依据。针对2009年1月～2013年5月上海口岸入境体检人员中胸部影像学诊断疑似活动性肺结核病的人群,采集其连续3 d的晨痰分离培养结核分枝杆菌,用MGIT960培养法分析其对抗结核药物（链霉素、异烟肼、利福平、乙胺丁醇、吡嗪酰胺）的耐药情况,用目标缺失多重聚合酶链反应（DTM-PCR ）进行结核分枝杆菌北京型分子分型,同时采集其人口学资料。期间共监测到入境外籍疑似活动性肺结核病者193例,其中50例痰液中分离培养到结核分枝杆菌,菌培阳率为25．9％,与我国结核病普查工作中活动性肺结核病菌培阳率（25．9％）相同。分离培养并成功传代、分型的40株结核分枝杆菌中,北京型占57．5％（23／40）,显著低于同期上海口岸出境人群中的90．2％（37／41）。输入性结核分枝杆菌北京型主要来自东南亚地区（71．4％,5／7）和西太平洋地区（57．1％,16／28）。一线5种抗结核药物的耐药性检测结果显示,输入性结核分枝杆菌北京型的总耐药率为30．4％（7／23）,接近上海口岸出境人群的34．1％。输入性耐多药菌株占2．4％（1／42）,分子分型结果显示为非北京型。输入性传染性肺结核病对吡嗪酰胺的耐药率为16．7％,显著高于上海口岸出境人群的2．4％。结果提示,上海口岸输入性肺结核病患者中结核分枝杆菌北京型所占比例显著低于同期出境人群,未发现与性别和年龄相关,未发现输入性结核分枝杆菌北京型对抗结核药物耐药性的显著变化。输入性耐药性结核病带来的公共卫生危害不容忽视,在直接督导下的短程化疗（DOTS）方案中需考虑其高吡嗪酰胺耐药特征。在口岸公共卫生安全风险评估中,需重视输入性结核分枝杆菌北京型与本地流行株的差异。     

Bacteria abundance and diversity of different life stages of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), revealed by bacteria culture‐dependent and PCR‐DGGE methods

Microbial abundance and diversity of different life stages (fourth instar larvae, pupae and adults) of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., collected from field and reared in laboratory, were investigated using bacteria culture‐dependent method and PCR‐DGGE analysis based on the sequence of bacteria 16S rRNA V3 region gene. A large quantity of bacteria was found in all life stages of P. xylostella. Field population had higher quantity of bacteria than laboratory population, and larval gut had higher quantity than pupae and adults. Culturable bacteria differed in different life stages of P. xylostella. Twenty‐five different bacterial strains were identified in total, among them 20 strains were presented in larval gut, only 8 strains in pupae and 14 strains in adults were detected. Firmicutes bacteria, Bacillus sp., were the most dominant species in every life stage. 15 distinct bands were obtained from DGGE electrophoresis gel. The sequences blasted in GenBank database showed these bacteria belonged to six different genera. Phylogenetic analysis showed the sequences of the bacteria belonged to the Actinobacteri, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. Serratia sp. in Proteobacteria was the most abundant species in larval gut. In pupae, unculturable bacteria were the most dominant species, and unculturable bacteria and Serratia sp. were the most dominant species in adults. Our study suggested that a combination of molecular and traditional culturing methods can be effectively used to analyze and to determine the diversity of gut microflora. These known bacteria may play important roles in development of P. xylostella.
