保幼激素类似物对斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒在宿主血淋巴中增殖动态的影响

通过研究保幼激素类似物(juvenile hormone analogues, JHA) methoprene对斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒（Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus, SpltNPV）在宿主血淋巴中增殖的影响,以探明JHA促进 SpltNPV增殖的初步机制,为阐明JHA促进病毒增殖提供更全面的理论依据。应用SDS PAGE及Western blot法,分析了methoprene对SpltNPV多角体蛋白(polyhedron, POLH)在宿主斜纹夜蛾6龄幼虫血淋巴中合成的影响。结果表明：经methoprene处理后2～3天可明显促进幼虫血淋巴液中POLH的合成。在此基础上,通过荧光定量PCR检测,发现methoprene对SpltNPV在幼虫血淋巴液复制的影响主要发生在处理后的第4和第5天,该期间polh基因的拷贝数比对照显著增加,拷贝数的峰值达1.22×10¹⁰/mL。     

OB增效剂对斜纹夜蛾核多角体病毒的增效作用

本文以OB作为斜纹夜蛾核多角体病毒（Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus,SpltNPV）的增效剂,对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura幼虫进行生物测定,结果表明,在0．25％-1．00％的浓度范围内,随着OB增效剂浓度的提高,其对斜纹夜蛾核多角体病毒的增效作用也随着提高,最高增效倍数达85．1倍;在2～4龄幼虫范围内,随着虫龄的增大,OB增效剂对斜纹夜蛾核多角体病毒的增效作用也增加;而随着温度的升高,增效剂的增效作用无显著提高。

斜纹夜幼虫对食物中重金属Ni2+的积累与排泄

为明确食物中重金属离子在昆虫体内的分布和转移情况,本文采用等离子体原子发射光谱仪检测了植食性昆虫斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura Fabricius连续3个世代6龄幼虫对食物中过量Ni²⁺的排泄和积累情况。结果表明：大部分Ni²⁺可通过粪便排出体外;沉积在体内的Ni²⁺主要积累在中肠,部分Ni²⁺可通过中肠上皮细胞基底膜进入血淋巴,经由血淋巴的转运作用积累在脂肪体和表皮等组织中。6龄幼虫不同组织中所积累Ni²⁺的含量为中肠>脂肪体>表皮,且不同组织和粪便中的Ni²⁺都随饲料中Ni²⁺浓度的增加而增加,并存在显著的剂量-反应关系。研究结果可为进一步研究过量Ni²⁺对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的生长发育和繁殖的影响,以及斜纹夜蛾幼虫不同组织对Ni²⁺的解毒能力等提供一定依据。

杀菌剂丙环唑对斜纹夜蛾的毒性

在研究比较了11种农药对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura细胞（简称SL细胞）的毒杀活性基础上,选择毒杀活性最高的杀菌剂丙环唑,对其毒理学机理进行进一步研究。结果表明,丙环唑的细胞毒力最高,在100 μg/mL浓度下处理后48 h,SL细胞的死亡率为98.08％。处理后36 h,丙环唑对SL细胞的LC₅₀值为20.31 μg/mL。丙环唑能明显降低SL细胞的蛋白质含量。以0.5 μg/头的丙环唑注射斜纹夜蛾4龄幼虫,处理后72 h,试虫血淋巴总含量及血细胞数分别下降了26.80％和25.26％;在1.0 μg/头的剂量下,则分别下降了37.67%和36.32%。以0.5 μg/头和1.0 μg/头的丙环唑注射处理后,斜纹夜蛾幼虫体重显著降低。此外,丙环唑能降低斜纹夜蛾幼虫血淋巴含糖量及血淋巴蛋白质含量。在注射处理后96 h和120 h,丙环唑对斜纹夜蛾4龄幼虫的LD₅₀值分别为0.59 μg/头和0.45 μg/头。丙环唑对SL细胞和斜纹夜蛾幼虫均具有较好的毒杀活性,显示出丙环唑类似物控制害虫的可能性。     

马缨丹总岩茨烯对小菜蛾和斜纹夜蛾幼虫的拒食作用

从马缨丹叶片中提取总岩茨烯,测定总岩茨烯对小菜蛾2龄幼虫和斜纹夜蛾1、2龄幼虫的拒食作用.结果表明,在非选择性试验中,1.6 mg·ml^-1的总岩茨烯对小菜蛾2龄幼虫和斜纹夜蛾1龄幼虫有拒食作用,8 h的拒食率分别为62.%和31.1%;在选择性试验中,0.4 mg·ml^-1的总岩茨烯即对小菜蛾2龄幼虫有拒食作用,0.4、0.8和1.6 mg·ml^-1浓度处理下的拒食率分别为52.7%、55.5%和78.9%;总岩茨烯只有在高浓度(1.6 mg·ml^-1)时,才对斜纹夜蛾1龄幼虫有拒食作用,拒食率仅为33.0%.在选择性和非选择性试验中,总岩茨烯对斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫均无拒食作用.     

根结线虫对斜纹夜蛾幼虫生长及营养利用随龄期变化的研究

【目的】为明确南方根结线虫Meloidogyne incognita侵染对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura幼虫的影响是否因幼虫的龄期而异。【方法】采用被南方根结线虫侵染和未被侵染的乌桕叶片饲喂斜纹夜蛾幼虫,并测定不同龄期幼虫的生长（幼虫体重、发育历期、相对生长率）和营养利用（取食量、近似消化率、食物转化率）情况。【结果】随着幼虫龄期的增加,斜纹夜蛾幼虫的取食量及发育历期呈上升趋势,幼虫体重、相对生长率和食物转化率先上升后下降,而近似消化率则先下降后上升。与饲喂未侵染南方根结线虫的乌桕叶片相比,取食线虫侵染的乌桕叶片的斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫近似消化率（0.78±0.07）%显著增加了约30%,但斜纹夜蛾的4龄幼虫体重（0.12±0.04）g、相对生长率（0.20±0.06）g·g^(-1)·d(-1)·d^(-1)和食物转化率（0.54±0.18）%分别降低了61%、36%和73%。线虫侵染处理与龄期互作对斜纹夜蛾的发育历期和取食量无显著影响。【结论】根结线虫侵染对斜纹夜蛾幼虫生长及其营养利用的影响因龄期而异,线虫侵染处理虽显著增加了斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫的近似消化率,但却抑制了其4龄幼虫的生长及其营养利用。     

在受重金属Zn2+胁迫的斜纹夜蛾幼虫寄主上双斑侧沟茧蜂的生存与发育

通过在植食性昆虫斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura Fabricius幼虫人工饲料中添加不同浓度的Zn²⁺,测定了连续3代取食含不同Zn²⁺浓度饲料幼虫的血淋巴中Zn²⁺含量,并研究了被Zn²⁺胁迫的斜纹夜蛾幼虫对寄生性天敌双斑侧沟茧蜂Microplitis bicoloratus Chen生存与发育的影响。结果表明,斜纹夜蛾幼虫血淋巴中Zn²⁺含量随饲料中Zn²⁺浓度和幼虫取食世代数的增加而增加;Zn²⁺胁迫斜纹夜蛾幼虫对双斑侧沟茧蜂的寄生率、从寄生到结茧的时间、蛹期长短、成虫羽化率和成虫寿命等都有不同程度的影响,其中以第2代的寄生率和第1代的羽化率受影响最大,均随着Zn²⁺浓度的增大而降低。因此,寄主饲料中高浓度的Zn²⁺能通过食物链影响双斑侧沟茧蜂的生存和发育。     

杀菌剂对斜纹夜蛾SL细胞系和幼虫的生物活性

以MTT法筛选了19种杀菌剂对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura SL细胞的毒杀活性,并以该方法研究了三唑类杀菌剂对SL细胞的毒力。结果表明: 福美双、烯唑醇、己唑醇、氟硅唑、苯霜灵、苯醚甲环唑、戊唑醇和腈菌唑等杀菌剂对SL细胞具有优异的毒杀活性。三唑类杀菌剂腈菌唑、烯唑醇、己唑醇和戊唑醇处理SL细胞48 h后,LC₅₀值分别为21.94 μg/mL、 23.80 μg/mL、 33.16 μg/mL和47.63 μg/mL。以考马斯亮蓝G₂₅₀法研究了腈菌唑对SL细胞中蛋白质含量和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)漏出率的影响, 20 μg/mL腈菌唑处理12 h、24 h、48 h和72 h后,SL细胞中蛋白质含量分别降低8.55%、25.95%、42.95%和67.05%;处理24 h和48 h后,SL细胞的LDH漏出率分别为30.66%和32.05%。以浸叶喂食法处理斜纹夜蛾3龄幼虫,三唑类杀菌剂可显著抑制试虫体重增长。以0.5 μg/头、 1.0 μg/头和2.0 μg/头剂量的腈菌唑注射处理72 h后,斜纹夜蛾4龄幼虫血细胞数量分别降低12.31%、 25.96%和25.73%;腈菌唑注射处理48 h和72 h后,对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的LD₅₀值分别为1.59 μg/头和1.53 μg/头。结果显示以离体培养细胞为对象,从现有杀菌剂中寻找新的杀虫剂先导化合物具有良好的研究潜力。     

Dosage-mortality and time-mortality responses of the armyworm Spodoptera exempta to a nuclear polyhedrosis virus

Third-instar Spodoptera exempta larvae were fed on young maize leaves treated with 20 μl of polyhedral inclusion body (PIB) suspension of concentrations that varied from 1.6 × 10² to 1.6 × 10⁹ PIBs/ml. Daily observations were kept on mortality rates. A probit analysis on the results gave an LD₅₀ value of 48.4 PIBs/larva (lower and upper fiducial limits 39.2 and 59.4 PIBs/larva, respectively), and an LT₅₀ that varied from 146.2 to 221.3 hr, depending on the dosage. LD and LT values obtained show the high pathogenicity of S. exempta nuclear polyhedrosis virus to its host.     

Juvenile hormone analogs greatly increase the production of a nucleopolyhedrovirus

The commercial production of baculovirus insecticides is limited by the need to produce the virus in living insects. The influence of juvenile hormone analogs (JHA) on the growth and survival of Spodoptera exigua larvae placed on treated diet in the fifth instar was examined. Weight increases observed in methoprene- and fenoxycarb-treated larvae were over three-fold greater than that of control insects, whereas other compounds resulted in lower weight gains (pyriproxyfen) or highly variable responses (hydroprene). Approximately 90% and 70% of fenoxycarb and methoprene-treated larvae, respectively, molted to a supernumerary sixth instar and attained a final weight at 8–10 days post-treatment that was approximately double the maximum weight observed in control larvae. Inoculation of fenoxycarb and methoprene-treated sixth instars with a nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) resulted in 2.4- or 2.9-fold increases in final weights, compared to control larvae inoculated in the fifth instar. The total yield of SeMNPV occlusion bodies (OBs) per larva was 2.7- and 2.9-fold greater in fenoxycarb- and methoprene-treated larvae, respectively, compared to fifth instar controls. A significant but small increase in the yield of OBs/mg larval weight was observed in fenoxycarb-treated insects but not in the methoprene treatment. The LC₅₀ value of OBs harvested from fenoxycarb-treated insects was slightly higher than that of OBs from control insects, whereas no such difference was observed in OBs from methoprene-treated insects. We conclude that appropriate use of JHA technology is likely to provide considerable benefits for the mass production of baculoviruses.     

Quantitative and qualitative aspects in the production of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus in Spodoptera exigua larvae

Spodoptera exigua nuclear polyhedrosis virus was produced in late fourth instar S. exigua larvae, reared on semi-artificial diet. A maximum amount of virus, 1–2 × 10⁹ polyhedra/larva, was produced in individually-reared larvae after 7 days of incubation, with an inoculum of 7–5 × 10⁴ polyhedra/cm² diet surface. Virus yield was slightly reduced to 9 × 10⁸ polyhedra/larva when production was carried out in groups of 400 and 600 larvae per container. Biological activity of virus harvested from living larvae and from dead cadavers was similar. Microbial contaminants, predominantly bacteria, in the virus product numbered 1–6% of the number of polyhedra. Tests for the presence of vertebrate-pathogenic bacteria in the virus product were all negative.     

Bioassay of a nucleopolyhedrosis virus of the gypsy moth, Porthetria dispar

The pathogenicity of an American isolate of the nucleopolyhedrosis virus of Porthetria dispar was studied. Laboratory data on third-instar larvae showed that mortality was directly related to virus concentration. The computed LD₅₀ was 1,729 PIBs/larva or 72 PIBs/mg larval body weight. The LT₅₀'s for 2.5 × 10⁶, 2.5 × 10⁵, 2.5 × 10⁴, 5 × 10³, and 2.5 × 10³ PIBs/larva were 8.1, 9.9, 11.3, 12.2, and 13.1 days, respectively. Approximately 37 and 60% of the total larval mortality occurred during the third- and fourth-instar, respectively. The periods to pupation and the pupal weights of survivors apparently were not affected by virus concentration. Moth emergence from surviving pupae was not reduced.     

The infectivity of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus of the velvetbean caterpillar for eight noctuid hosts

Eight species of noctuid larvae were tested for susceptibility to a nuclear polyhedrosis virus of the velvetbean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis. Velvetbean caterpillar larvae were highly susceptible to crude preparations of polyhedral inclusion bodies (PIBs; LD₅₀ = 4.7 PIBs/larva), but preparations of purified polyhedra were much less effective against these larvae (LD₅₀ = 319.7 PIBs/larva). Of seven other noctuid species tested, only Heliothis virescens was as susceptible to the virus as A. gemmatalis. High dosages were required to kill Heliothis zea, Trichoplusia ni, Pseudoplusia includens, and Spodoptera ornithogalli. Plathypena scabra and Spodoptera frugiperda were not susceptible.     

Production and field evaluation of codling moth granulosis virus for control of Cydia pomonella in the United Kingdom

Codling moth granulosis virus (Cp GV) was produced in larvae of Cydia pomonella reared on artificial diet. The average yield of virus (9 × 10⁹capsules/larva) was increased by raising the larvae on diet containing methoprene, a juvenile hormone analogue. In field trials in 1978 and 1979, one or two high-volume applications of Cp GV at 7 × 10¹⁰ capsules/litre achieved reductions in numbers of mature larvae and damaged fruit that were little different from those obtained by two applications of azinphos-methyl. A field trial in 1980 showed that at concentrations of Cp GV ≥ 6 × 10⁸ capsules/litre, damaged diminished slowly with increasing virus concentration. Following virus application in 1980, Cp GV infectivity was reduced by half in 3 days, but some activity persisted at least 4–8 wk after spraying. The results indicate that codling moth GV is an effective control agent particularly in reducing numbers of larvae and the more severe forms of fruit damage.     

The in vivo production of Bacillus popilliae var. rhopaea spores

The effect of various factors on the yield of Bacillus popilliae var. rhopaea spores formed in Rhopaea verreauxi larvae have been studied. Lack of adequate food, temperatures above and below 23°C, and infecting doses above 10⁶ spore larva, all significantly lowered spore yield per larva. Larval age had a pronounced effect; second-instar and young third-instar larvae produ ed about 1 × 10¹⁰ spores while old third-instar larvae produced about 4 × 10¹⁰ spores. Incubation of larvae for longer than 4 weeks did not increase spore yield per larva. Yields were similar whether larvae were infected by injection or per os. Three other host species could be used to mass-produce B. popilliae var. rhopaea spores but all were less efficient than R. verreauxi. Milky third-instar R. verreauxi larvae, which were field collected, yielded 1.57 × 10¹⁰ spores per larva.     

幼虫密度对斜纹夜蛾抗病能力的影响

为了阐明斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura Fabricius幼虫密度对其抗病能力的影响,在室内条件下(温度23℃±1℃,相对湿度75%)对不同幼虫密度(1、2、5、10、15头/皿(直径为12cm))饲养的斜纹夜蛾幼虫抵抗斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒侵染的能力及其免疫指标进行了研究。结果表明:幼虫密度对斜纹夜蛾幼虫接种核型多角体病毒后的存活率、存活时间及血淋巴酚氧化酶活性影响显著。随着幼虫密度的增加,接种核型多角体病毒后幼虫的存活率降低,存活时间缩短。当幼虫密度达到15头/皿时,幼虫存活率显著低于其它幼虫密度。不同幼虫密度幼虫的存活时间以1头/皿的最高,15头/皿的最低,且二者之间差异显著。幼虫血淋巴中酚氧化酶活性随幼虫密度的增加而明显降低,当幼虫密度达到5头/皿时,幼虫酚氧化酶活性显著低于1头/皿的。另外,幼虫溶菌酶活性和血细胞总数受幼虫密度影响不显著。不同密度幼虫抗病性的变化与其血淋巴中酚氧化酶活性的变化趋势较为一致。所以斜纹夜蛾幼虫抗病能力的降低可能与幼虫酚氧化酶活性的下降有关。因此,幼虫密度是影响斜纹夜蛾幼虫抗病性变化的重要因子。     

Effect of Host Plant on the Infectivity of Sl MNPV to Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae

The susceptibility of Spodoptera litura to SlMNPV infection was markedly affected by phyto-chemicals ingested during the acquisition of viral inoculum on foliage of tomato and cauliflower. The LD₅₀ values computed for second, third and fourth instar larvae assayed on tomato leaves were 254, 819 and 23395 PIBs/larva, respectively whereas, it was 326, 1719 and 43843 PIBs/larva for respective instars when assayed on cauliflower leaves. Thus LD₅₀ values for second, third and fourth instar larvae were 1.28-, 2.09- and 1.87- fold lower, respectively in tomato leaves. Similarly, LT₅₀ values for second, third and fourth instar larvae assayed on tomato leaves were 7.1 and 7.5 days, respectively at inoculum dose of 2.7×10⁴ PIBs/larva whereas, it was 7.7 and 8.0 days for respective instars when assayed on cauliflower leaves at same inoculum. This result also showed that the S. litura were more susceptible on tomato leaves in comparison to cauliflower leaves as the time required for mortality was lower in tomato leaves. The possible biochemical bases for differential level of mortality of S. litura larvae on tomato and cauliflower crops needs to be investigated.
