饵料蛋白水平对德国小蠊肠道细菌群落的影响

昆虫肠道微生物在宿主营养代谢、生长发育、免疫以及抵御病原菌等方面具有重要作用。研究不同蛋白水平饵料饲养对德国小蠊（Blattella germanica）雄成虫肠道细菌群落组成及其功能的作用,探究德国小蠊肠道细菌对宿主营养和健康的影响,以期为发展生物防治的诱食性饵料提供理论支持。分别取连续饲喂低蛋白（LP2组：5%）、高蛋白（HP3组：65%）以及正常蛋白水平饵料（CD1组：25%）21 d的德国小蠊雄成虫,饥饿24 h后无菌条件下分离并提取肠道总基因组DNA,采用特异引物扩增细菌16S rDNA的V4可变区并进行高通量测序,分析德国小蠊肠道细菌群落组成及其功能特征。结果表明德国小蠊肠道细菌主要由拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）、变形菌门（Proteobacteria）、梭杆菌门（Fusobacteria）和厚壁菌门（Firmicutes）等细菌群落组成。饲喂低蛋白饵料LP2组的德国小蠊肠道细菌中拟杆菌属（Bacteroides）细菌丰度（47.44%）显著高于HP3组（23.97%）和对照CD1（7.04%）。饲喂高蛋白饵料的HP3组梭杆菌门丰度显著高于其他两组。LEfSe物种差异分析也表明HP3组德国小蠊肠道细菌中梭杆菌属（Fusobacterium）细菌与低蛋白饵料LP2组和对照CD1组有显著差异。基于Tax4Fun功能预测显示,HP3高蛋白饵料组的德国小蠊肠道细菌中与能量代谢功能相关基因的相对丰度极显著高于对照组CD1组,外源性物质代谢与降解和其他氨基酸代谢功能基因的相对丰度显著高于低蛋白LP2组。本研究结果表明饵料中蛋白质水平的差异能够显著改变德国小蠊肠道中细菌群落结构组成,并影响其代谢功能。     

德国小蠊抗药性机理

德国小蠊(Blattella germanica)是一种重要的室内卫生害虫,化学防治是目前主要的防治手段,但抗药性已逐渐成为制约德国小蠊防治的关键因素。德国小蠊抗药性的产生存在多种机理,本文从行为抗性、表皮穿透性降低、代谢抗性、靶标抗性及微生物降解等方面对德国小蠊抗药性产生机理进行了综述,重点阐述了近年来德国小蠊抗药性机理最新的研究进展。

光周期与温度对林地德国小蠊生长发育与繁殖的影响

为弄清湖南株洲(北纬27°50′,东经112°54′)栖息于林地的德国小蠊(Blattella germanica)季节生活史策略,研究了光周期和温度对其若虫发育、龄数变异及成虫繁殖的影响。结果表明,德国小蠊的若虫发育明显受光周期的影响。长日条件(LD 16∶8h)下若虫发育最快,中间日长(LD 14∶10h)次之,短日条件(LD 12∶12h)下若虫发育最慢。将孵化后30日的若虫自长日条件向短日条件转移,则若虫发育受到明显抑制,反方向的转移,则若虫发育迅速。说明德国小蠊若虫存在滞育现象,短日条件诱导并维持滞育,长日条件解除滞育。若虫期经历的龄数受光周期和温度的影响,25℃的温度条件下,LD 16∶8h、LD 14∶10h及LD 12∶12h若虫期的龄数分别为7、8和9龄;长日条件下,30℃和25℃的若虫龄数为7龄,而20℃为9龄。根据实验室观察和林地调查结果,德国小蠊在湖南株洲1年发生1代,以滞育若虫越冬。30℃、25℃、20℃的温度条件下,卵鞘成活率分别为14.3%、90.1%和51.9%,高温和低温均不适合德国小蠊的繁殖。因此,可以认为控制若虫发育和龄数的光周期、温度反应的生态意义在于调控繁殖虫态和繁殖的适宜季节保持同步。

保幼激素类似物对德国小蠊卵黄发生及繁殖的影响

应用ELISA、单向免疫扩散法,研究了保幼激素类似物（灭幼宝）对德国小蠊Blattella germanica卵黄发生的影响;同时,观察了灭幼宝对德国小蠊繁殖的影响。灭幼宝促进了德国小蠊脂肪体Vg的合成,使血淋巴Vg的浓度明显增高,出现时间早于对照组;且变化规律不同于对照组,呈双峰模式。灭幼宝处理组昆虫卵巢中Vt的含量在第5天、第7天明显高于对照组,而在第9天明显下降,仅为对照组的50%左右,而此时对照组卵巢的Vt含量则上升到处理组第7天水平。灭幼宝处理新羽化的雌虫,导致不育。     

德国小蠊聚集激素的提取及其诱集效果测试

德国小镜Blattellagermanica（L．）在我国为常见的卫生害虫,目前主要的治镰办法是药剂防治和微生物防治。但由于蜚镰是被动地接触受药,从而杀灭率低,用药时间长,增加了用药次数和防治难度。吴福桢[1]提出：应用聚集素治蟑是很有前景的方法。王乔[2,3]阐述了德国小蠊后肠分泌的聚集素能引诱德国小蠊大量聚集,其随粪便排出体外而使粪便对德国小蠊产生了聚集作用。本实验选用5种常规有机溶剂,分别对德国小蠊的粪便进行了提取,并用提取液作了诱集实验,为简单有效地提取聚集素并用于蜚蠊的引诱防治作了初步探索。1材料和方法1．1供试…

Insecticide susceptibility and resistance of Blattella germanica (Blattaria: Blattellidae) in Seoul, Republic of Korea, 2007

The susceptibility of Blattella germanica (L.) in the Republic of Korea (ROK) to insecticides was evaluated under laboratory conditions using 12 insecticides currently used by the local public health centers and/or pest control operators in the ROK. The insecticides included seven pyrethroids and five organophosphates. Based on their LD₅₀ values, the order of susceptibility of B. germanica adults to the insecticides was chlorpyrifos-methyl, profenofos and chlorpyrifos with values of 0.07, 0.29 and 0.88 µg/♀, respectively. The least susceptibility was obtained with tetramethrin at LD₅₀ of 7.39 µg/♀. In the comparative resistance test, the resistance ratios (RR) of 12 insecticides were compared to each other using field-collected B. germanica adults in Seoul between 1993 and 2007. Blattella germanica demonstrated higher RRs to pyrethroids such as λ-cyhalothrin, and low RRs among the organophosphates. Among the pyrethroids, λ-cyhalothrin had the highest RRs of 111- and 129-fold differences at LD₅₀ and LD₉₀ values, respectively. Among the organophosphates, profenofos was observed to have the highest RRs of 4- and 15-fold differences at LD₅₀ and LD₉₀ values, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in susceptibility to tetramethrin, chlorpyrifos and fenitrothion. Blattella germanica was more susceptible to pyridafenthion showing a 0.7-fold difference in a resistance ratio (RRLD₅₀= LD₅₀ value of 2007/LD₅₀ value of 1993). Resistance ratio of tetramethrin was low, but susceptibility was also not high.     

海葵毒素Av3对德国小蠊的毒性及其作用机制

摘要: 【目的】Ⅲ型海葵毒素(Av3)对昆虫具有显著的选择性毒性,对其作用机制的研究对新型高选择性毒性杀虫剂的设计研究具有重要意义。【方法】反向高效液相色谱及电喷雾质谱用于鉴定化学合成的Av3野生型(Av3 wild type, Av3-WT)及其突变体的纯度和分子量;生物活性测定检测Av3-WT及其突变体对德国小蠊Blattella germanica成虫的毒力;双电极电压钳技术检测Av3-WT及其突变体对德国小蠊钠通道BgNav1-1a失活的抑制作用。构建基于BgNav1-1a与大鼠钠通道rNav1.2a的重组嵌合体,通过双电极电压钳技术确定BgNav1-1a上参与Av3-WT选择性毒性的关键区域。【结果】芳香族氨基酸Y7, W8和Y18分别突变后形成的Av3-WT突变体Y7A, W8A和Y18A对德国小蠊成虫的毒力显著降低,半数击倒剂量(KD50)与Av3-WT相比均增加了超过10倍;与Av3-WT对通道失活62%的抑制率相比,250 nmol/L的毒素突变体Y7A, W8A和Y18A对BgNav1-1a失活的抑制作用也显著降低,通道失活的抑制率分别降低到12%, 23%和8%;以rNav1.2a胞外环DI/SS5-S6替换BgNav1-1a的相应序列获得的重组嵌合体钠通道对Av3-WT毒素的敏感性几乎丧失,仅3.6%的通道在1 μmol/L Av3-WT作用下失活被抑制。BgNav1-1a胞外环 DI/SS2-S6上的His404突变为Tyr后几乎丧失对毒素的敏感性,仅6%的通道在1 μmol/L Av3-WT作用下失活被抑制。【结论】芳香族氨基酸Tyr7, Trp8和Tyr18参与到构成Av3-WT分子的生物活性表面;钠离子通道胞外环DI/SS2-S6是影响Av3-WT毒素发挥选择性的关键结合区域,BgNav1-1a的DI/SS2-S6上的His404则是影响Av3-WT选择性毒性的关键氨基酸。     

Biochemical characterization and purification of esterases from three strains of German cockroach,Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)

Three strains of German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) showed varying levels of resistance to chlorpyrifos, methyl parathion, propoxur, bendiocarb, and cypermethrin. The general esterase activity was at least twofold higher than susceptible strain. The subcellular distribution studies revealed that the majority of the esterase activity is present in the 100,000g cytosolic fraction. Only a small portion of the activity was membrane bound. Using non-denaturing gel electrophoresis, ten isozymes were identified in German cockroaches. These isozymes were isolated individually from the gels and analyzed for differences in activity. The isozymes E5, E6, and E7 of resistant strains had significantly higher specific activities when compared with the susceptible strain. The purification process using various column chromatography and preparative gel electrophoresis resulted in 9–11% of total esterase recovery. About double the amount of E6 was recovered from the resistant strains when compared with the susceptible strain. Kinetic analyses of E6 did not indicate differences in K_m and V_max values between the resistant and susceptible strains. Also, inhibition of esterase activity by paraoxon, chlorpyrifos, and propoxur did not suggest any structural differences in esterase E6 between strains. The results suggest that the increased production of E6 esterase contributes to insecticide resistance in German cockroaches. The role of E6 may be sequestration of toxic molecules rather than hydrolysis. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Aspergillosis in German cockroach Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattoidea: Blattellidae)

Natural infection of Aspergillus flavus was observed in adults of Blattella germanica. Though the adult insects exhibited no external symptoms, they became hypoactive and later died. The dead and experimentally infected insects repeatedly yielded Aspergillus flavus in culture on Czapek's medium. Direct microscopic observation of the tissues of infected insects revealed fungal material. The blood films stained with Giemsa stain showed granulocytes (GRs) engulfing fungal hyphae. A remarkable increase in GR and plasmatocyte (PL) counts occurred in differential haemocyte counts (DHCs) of the infected insects. Two main types of immunological responses of the insect noticed were phagocytosis and encapsulation. DHC showed maximum involvement of GRs and PLs in immune mechanism. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A microdialysis study of allatostatin degradation in Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera, Blattellidae)

Allatostatins with a typical C‐terminal sequence YXFGL‐NH₂ are insect neuropeptides with inhibitory properties upon Juvenile Hormone production in the corpora allata, vitellogenin release by the fat body, and gut and dorsal vessel motility. All these biological effects are rapidly reversible, suggesting the occurrence of effective mechanisms for inactivation of the peptides. We have studied the degradation of DRLYSFGL‐NH₂ (BLAST‐2), one of the allatostatins of Blattella germanica, in the internal milieu of adult females of this cockroach. The experimental approach combined the use of the radioiodinated derivative [¹²⁵I‐Tyr⁴]BLAST‐2, microdialysis techniques and HPLC analysis with a radioisotope detector. Under these experimental conditions, the half‐life of BLAST‐2 in the internal milieu of the adult female of B. germanica was between 3 and 6 min. Such a short half‐life explains the high doses of allatostatins required to obtain the expected biological effects when tested in vivo, and suggests that circulating allatostatins are subject to rapid rates of synthesis and degradation in order to be operative physiologically.     

Monitoring pyrethroid resistance in field collected Blattella germanica Linn. (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) in Indonesia

The German cockroach, Blattella germanica , is a major and the most common pest in public areas in Indonesia. Although intensive control measures have been carried out to control the populations of this pest, results have been far from successful, which is believed to be because of its resistance to insecticides. A standard World Health Organization (WHO) glass jar test was carried out to determine the resistance level of this insect to pyrethroid insecticides, the most commonly used insecticides for cockroach control in Indonesia. A susceptible S1 strain collected from Tembagapura Papua was compared with four strains collected from Bandung, West Java: strain S2, from a local restaurant; strain S3, from the Bandung train station; and strains S4 and S5, from two different hotels. All strains showed low resistance to the pyrethroid, except the S5 strain, which had a Resistance Ratio (RR)₅₀ of 95 for permethrin. The addition of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) suggests that the detoxifying enzyme mixed function oxidases (MFO) played an important role in the development of resistance to permethrin in the S5 strain, suggested by the high Synergist Ratio (SR) of 70.4. However, the low level of resistance to cypermethrin was not affected by PBO, suggesting that other mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance are involved. Our study is the first report of German cockroach resistance to permethrin in Indonesia, and the findings can be used in formulating potential strategies for cockroach resistance management.     

Effects of ovariectomy and mating on the activity of the corpora allata in adult female Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)

In adult female cockroaches, the ovary greatly affects the synthesis of Juvenile Hormone (JH) by the corpora allata, and in females of some cockroach species, removal of the ovaries results in a permanent depression of JH synthesis. We report that the corpora allata in ovariectomised, adult virgins of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), increase and then decrease in activity, as they do in intact females. Moreover, the distal tubules in the left colleterial glands of ovariectomised females accumulate abundant protein, the production of which is regulated by JH. In both ovariectomised and sham‐operated females, the activity of the corpora allata more than tripled between days 1 and 4 of adulthood, during which the oöcytes of sham‐operated females grew considerably in length. The corpora allata of sham‐operated females produced even more JH on day 7, but very little on day 10, by which time all females had oviposited. The glands of ovariectomised females, by constrast, produced a similar amount of JH on day 7 as on day 4, but much less on day 10. Beginning on day 13, the activity of the corpora allata increased again in ovariectomised females, an increase that did not occur until day 22 in sham‐operated females. Mating of ovariectomised females on day 6 resulted in a significant increase in the activity of the corpora allata by day 10. We conclude that both the ovary and mating stimulate the synthesis of JH early in the reproductive cycle, but that neither is needed for the occurrence of a complete cycle of JH synthesis.     

Insecticide Susceptibility of Field‐collected Blattella germanica (Blattaria: Blattalidae) in Busan,Republic of Korea during 2014

The susceptibility values for field‐collected (BG‐BG) and laboratory (KS‐BG) strains of German cockroaches (BS‐BG), Blattella germanica (L.) to five synthetic pyrethroid and three organophosphate insecticides were assessed by topical application. Both KS‐BG and BS‐BG strains demonstrated the highest levels of susceptibility to deltamethrin with LD₅₀ values of 0.0035 μg/female and 1.5744 μg/female, respectively. The KS‐BG strain demonstrated the lowest susceptibility level to fenthion with an LD₅₀ value of 0.0698 μg/female, while the BS‐BG field population showed the lowest susceptibility to bifenthrin with 4.6811 μg/female. The BS‐BG field population showed resistance levels of 50 to 640 fold higher against the eight pesticides evaluated compared to the KS‐BG strain. The resistance ratios (RR) of the eight pesticides were compared using populations of B. germanica that were collected from the same locality during 2007 and 2014. The field population of B. germanica collected during 2014 demonstrated significantly high resistance to an organophosphates and all pyrethroids when compared with those collected during 2007, but RR values were <10 except for chlorpyrifos‐methyl and chlorpyrifos with RR values of 74 and 104, respectively.     

德国小蠊两个海藻糖合成酶基因的克隆、组织分布及温度诱导表达分析

【目的】海藻糖合成酶（trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, TPS）是参与昆虫血糖-海藻糖合成的关键酶。本研究旨在克隆德国小蠊 Blattella germanica TPS基因,研究TPS基因在德国小蠊不同组织中的表达模式及在不同温度处理下的表达情况。【方法】通过RACE技术克隆德国小蠊TPS基因全长序列,利用荧光定量PCR的方法检测TPS基因在德国小蠊5龄幼虫不同组织中的表达模式及在高温(40℃和46℃处理30 min)及低温(0℃和10℃处理1 h)逆境下的表达量变化。【结果】从德国小蠊中克隆获得2个TPS基因,分别命名为 BgTPS1 (GenBank登录号：KR050213) 和 BgTPS2 (GenBank登录号：KR050214)。其中,BgTPS1基因cDNA序列全长2 987 bp,开放阅读框 (ORF) 2 502 bp,编码833个氨基酸;BgTPS2基因cDNA序列全长3 212 bp,开放阅读框2 469 bp,编码822个氨基酸。BgTPS1和BgTPS2基因都主要在5龄幼虫脂肪体中表达,且BgTPS2基因的表达量为BgTPS1基因表达量的3.9倍。在两种不同极端温度诱导下,BgTPS1和BgTPS2基因mRNA均上调表达。其中,BgTPS2 的表达量始终显著高于 BgTPS1。在0℃时,BgTPS1和BgTPS2的表达量最高。【结论】德国小蠊5龄幼虫中存在2个TPS基因。两个TPS基因均在脂肪体中高表达,且BgTPS2基因的表达量显著高于BgTPS1基因;低温和高温诱导下均能促进两个基因的表达量上升。该结果为进一步明确昆虫海藻糖的合成途径及其在昆虫对温度逆境的反应中的作用研究奠定了基础。     

Determination of allatostatin levels in relation to the gonadotropic cycle in the female of Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera, Blattellidae)

A polyclonal antibody against the allatostatin BLAST-3 (AGSDGRLYSFGL-NH₂) of the cockroach Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera, Blattellidae) has been raised and characterized, and an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for allatostatin quantification has been developed. Allatostatin contents in brain, midgut and haemolymph have been measured in females of B. germanica during the first gonadotropic cycle. Brain allatostatin content increases steadily from adult emergence to the formation of the first ootheca. The values range from 2 ng/brain on the day of adult emergence to 25 ng/brain when the insect forms the ootheca 8 days later. In the midgut, the pattern is similar but the values are about half those of the brain. Allatostatin concentrations in the haemolymph after HPLC separation are in the nanomolar range. The occurrence of allatostatins in the haemolymph suggests that these peptides can act through a humoral pathway, as well as via nerves. The allatostatin content of both brain and midgut are high while the female is transporting the ootheca, which suggests that these peptides could be related to the low metabolic status characterising the period of oothecal transport.
