不同地区致倦库蚊种群相关酯酶 基因的特征分析

分别从广州、沙市、武汉近郊采集到致倦库蚊Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus,对单只蚊虫进行淀粉凝胶电泳和Southern杂交方法的分析结果表明：3个实验种群中均分布有与抗性有关的高活性酯酶β1¹,酯酶α2/β2分布于广州实验种群中;广泛分布于地中海地区尖音库蚊Culex pipiens种群中的酯酶α4/β4、α5/β5在以上3个种群中均不存在。但是,在3个实验种群中均发现存在有一对新的高活性酯酶α8/β8,其电泳迁移率和限制性酶切片段均与目前已报道的几种高活性酯酶不同。含这两对新酯酶的蚊虫将应进一步从种群中纯化,纯合蚊虫新品系做分子特征的研究。

有机磷抗性致倦库蚊种群中酯酶基因扩增的定量分析

致倦库蚊Culex qinquefasciatus是丝虫病的主要传染媒介。通过生物测定、单个蚊虫酯酶α2和β2基因拷贝数分析和酯酶β基因序列比较, 分析了抗性水平、抗性相关基因在种群中的分布及其基因拷贝数等的抗性分子特征。应用快速PCR仪（realtime quantitatIve PCRs）直接检测库蚊中酯酶基因和mRNA拷贝数。结果显示：上海致倦库蚊对对硫磷的抗性LC₅₀为8.12, 酯酶活性升高是上海致倦库蚊种群对有机磷杀虫药剂产生抗性的主要机理。编码致倦库蚊酯酶β的氨基酸序列同编码尖音库蚊酯酶B1的氨基酸序列相比同源性为98%;同致倦库蚊酯酶B2氨基酸序列相比同源性为100%,同环蹶库蚊酯酶B3氨基酸序列相比同源性为90%, 上海致倦库蚊中酯酶α和β基因均扩增。有机磷抗性的上海和PellRR蚊虫种群中单个蚊虫酯酶α2 和β2定量基因拷贝数均不同,其同一蚊虫个体的酯酶α2 比酯酶β2基因的拷贝数高,但没有明显的规律性,酯酶结构基因的扩增是上海致倦库蚊种群对有机磷杀虫药剂抗性的主要机理,估计在野外种群的杂合个体中存在多种调控机制。     

埃及伊蚊浓核病毒(AaeDV)对致倦库蚊的致病性研究

致倦库蚊(Culex quinquefasciatus)是西尼罗病毒(West Nile virus,WNV)、圣路易斯脑炎病毒等重要的媒介。蚊浓核病毒(Mosquito densovirus,MDV)是特异性感染蚊类的病毒,对蚊虫具有明显的致病性。为研究MDV对致倦库蚊的致病效应,我们使用不同浓度埃及伊蚊浓核病毒(Aedes aegypti densovirus,AaeDV)感染致倦库蚊不同发育阶段的幼虫、蛹与成蚊,测定其感染率与死亡率,结果证实AaeDV对致倦库蚊1~2龄幼虫、3~4龄幼虫、蛹和雌雄成蚊的感染率分别为93.33%±2.49%、66%±3.74%、2.67%±0.94%、23.33%±3.40%和24.00%±1.63%,感染率与其发育阶段有关而与性别无关。AaeDV对幼虫的杀伤效果具有剂量依赖性,且与发育阶段有关,在1×1011拷贝/mL浓度下,新孵化龄幼虫和3~4龄幼虫的死亡率高达95.33%±0.74%和61.67%±2.07%。因此AaeDV对致倦库蚊具有生物防制的潜在价值。     

幼虫期食物量对致倦库蚊实验种群动态的影响

在室温26±1℃和相对湿度80％的条件下,以食物充足和食物缺少两种处理饲养致倦库蚊Culex quinquefasciatus Say幼虫。实验表明,幼虫期食物量不仅对幼虫有影响,而且对成蚊期一系列种群参数均有明显影响。净增殖率R_0、内禀增长能力r_m和有限速率γ降低,种群增长受抑制不仅是由于幼虫期食物量减少使幼虫发育速率减慢、存活率下降所致,且与成蚊的年龄特征存活率及年龄特征产雌率有关。各年龄组雌蚊所产的卵的孵出率随年龄的增长而下降,故以卵孵出数计算产雌率m_x所得的种群参数值较为客观,而以卵孵出率与年龄关系的回归方程校正以卵数计算的m.,同样达到上述目的。本文还提供广州致倦库蚊实验种群生命表特征的资料。

对来自杭州、临海和金华三个城市的淡色库蚊种群进行了抗性酯酶表现型频率分布的测定和分析 ,同时对三个种群进行双硫磷、敌百虫、毒死蜱和马拉硫磷等四种有机磷杀虫剂的抗性品系筛选 ,逐代测定和分析各种群在不同杀虫剂压力下 ,其抗性酯酶表现型频率分布的变化。结果表明 ,三个自然种群中都存在酯酶B1 、B2 纯合表现型及酯酶B1 /B2 杂合表现型 ,其中酯酶B1 纯合表现型占优势。各自然种群中的抗性酯酶表现型频率分布有差异。经过杀虫剂的逐代筛选 ,各种群相对于某一杀虫剂的压力 ,表现出选择较为单一的抗性酯酶表现型的趋势 :双硫磷有利于酯酶B1 纯合表现型的选择 ,敌百虫和毒死蜱有利于酯酶B2 纯合表现型的选择 ,马拉硫磷则似乎有利于酯酶B1 纯合表现型和酯酶B1 /B2 杂合表现型的选择 ,但酯酶B1 纯合表现型相对于B1 /B2 杂合表现型来说 ,对马拉硫磷抗性更强一些。根据研究结果 ,就蚊虫的抗性酯酶基因对不同杀虫剂的选择优势及相应的蚊媒控制策略进行了讨论。     

不同地理种群尖音库蚊复组抗性动态和遗传多样性

通过生物测定、蛋白质电泳和等位酶分析等方法对5个不同地区的尖音库蚊复组蚊虫Culex pipiens complex的抗性水平、种群中非特异性酯酶基因表型分布和种群遗传多样性进行了研究。不同地理种群的抗性检测结果表明：5个种群分别对敌敌畏、对硫磷、氯菊酯和溴氰菊酯的抗性较高,对残杀威、巴沙和胺菊酯的抗性较低;朝阳种群对敌敌畏抗性最高（55.7倍）,武汉种群次之;佛山种群对氯菊酯和溴氰菊酯的抗性比率高达123倍和23.9倍。酯酶电泳结果显示：5个种群间酯酶多态性存在差异,广州和佛山两个库蚊种群酯酶表型多态性最高,有B1,A2-B2,A8-B8,A9-B9,B10和A11-B11等6种酯酶表型,提示高活性酯酶是主要的抗性机制。群体遗传学研究表明：每位点平均等位基因数（A）为2.76,平均多态位点百分率（P）为64.45％,平均预期杂合度（He）为0.1943,种群间遗传分化系数（Fst）值为0.10,平均基因流(Nm)＝2.57,说明5个种群有较丰富的遗传多样性,种群内遗传多样性高于种群之间。据此推测,种群间可以通过迁徙等方式进行基因交流,使得遗传结构、抗性水平朝一致性方向变化。本研究对我国尖音库蚊复组蚊虫的综合治理有一定指导意义。     

一个致倦库蚊杀虫剂敏感品系的筛选

化学防治是控制蚊虫传播疾病的主要方法, 抗性监测表明我国蚊虫已对有机磷、 有机氯、 氨基甲酸酯和拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂产生了不同程度的抗性。蚊虫抗药性的分子机制主要包括靶标抗性和三大解毒酶家族带来的代谢抗性。筛选对杀虫剂敏感的品系是抗性监测和抗性机理研究必不可少的材料。本研究通过从一个致倦库蚊Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus野生种群筛选无乙酰胆碱酯酶G119S突变且具有低活性羧酸酯酶、 P450单加氧酶和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶的单雌系, 建立了一个对杀虫剂敏感的致倦库蚊品系。该品系的羧酸酯酶活性是敏感品系S-lab的2.5倍, P450单加氧酶和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶的活性与S-lab相当。生物测定表明, 与S-lab相比, 该品系对有机磷杀虫剂有低于2倍的抗性, 对氨基甲酸酯和拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂没有抗性, 可以作为相对敏感品系用于抗性监测。

Effects of blood meal source on the reproduction of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus were fed blood meals from a live chicken (LC), chicken blood in Alsever's (AC) solution, defibrinated bovine blood (DB), or bovine blood in citrate (CB) and incubated at 28° C. The effects of different blood meal sources were evaluated with respect to rates of blood feeding and reproduction (i.e., fecundity and fertility) over two gonotrophic cycles. Mosquitoes that fed on the first blood meal were subjected to a second blood meal as follows (first blood meal / second blood meal): LC/LC, LC/DB, DB/DB, CB/CB, AC/AC. Fecundity and fertility of Cx. p. quinquefasciatus were significantly (P < 0.05) greater in mosquitoes fed LC blood; however, fecundity and fertility in different treatment groups varied by gonotrophic cycle. These results contribute to our understanding of the impact of blood meal source on feeding and reproduction in Cx. p. quinquefasciatus. The potential impacts of blood meal source on virus transmission experiments are discussed.

Esterases A5-B5 in organophosphate-resistant Culex pipiens from Italy

Abstract. Culex pipiens mosquitoes from Lignano city, Udine province, northeast Italy, were found to carry over-produced non-specific esterases Al, A2-B2 and A4-B4 or A5-B5, detected by starch gel electrophoresis, giving multiple resistance to organophosphorus insecticides. In order to differentiate between A4-B4 and A5-B5 esterases, the latter known only from Cyprus whereas the former is widespread in Italy and elsewhere, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was performed at the esterase B locus. Both B4 and B5 haplotypes were found. This is the first record of A5-B5 esterase-mediated resistance in continental Europe.     

Permethrin Induction of Multiple Cytochrome P450 Genes in Insecticide Resistant Mosquitoes,Culex quinquefasciatus

The expression of some insect P450 genes can be induced by both exogenous and endogenous compounds and there is evidence to suggest that multiple constitutively overexpressed P450 genes are co-responsible for the development of resistance to permethrin in resistant mosquitoes. This study characterized the permethrin induction profiles of P450 genes known to be constitutively overexpressed in resistant mosquitoes, Culex quinquefasciatus. The gene expression in 7 of the 19 P450 genes CYP325K3v1, CYP4D42v2, CYP9J45, (CYP) CPIJ000926, CYP325G4, CYP4C38, CYP4H40 in the HAmCqG8 strain, increased more than 2-fold after exposure to permethrin at an LC50 concentration (10 ppm) compared to their acetone treated counterpart; no significant differences in the expression of these P450 genes in susceptible S-Lab mosquitoes were observed after permethrin treatment. Eleven of the fourteen P450 genes overexpressed in the MAmCqG6 strain, CYP9M10, CYP6Z12, CYP9J33, CYP9J43, CYP9J34, CYP306A1, CYP6Z15, CYP9J45, CYPPAL1, CYP4C52v1, CYP9J39, were also induced more than doubled after exposure to an LC50 (0.7 ppm) dose of permethrin. No significant induction in P450 gene expression was observed in the susceptible S-Lab mosquitoes after permethrin treatment except for CYP6Z15 and CYP9J39, suggesting that permethrin induction of these two P450 genes are common to both susceptible and resistant mosquitoes while the induction of the others are specific to insecticide resistant mosquitoes. These results demonstrate that multiple P450 genes are co-up-regulated in insecticide resistant mosquitoes through both constitutive overexpression and induction mechanisms, providing additional support for their involvement in the detoxification of insecticides and the development of insecticide resistance.     

Effects of nutrition and density in Culex pipiens

Mosquito larvae face numerous biotic and abiotic challenges that affect their development and survivorship, as well as adult fitness. We conducted two experiments under semi‐natural conditions to evaluate the effects of intraspecific competition, nutrient limitation and sub‐lethal doses of malathion on individual life history traits in adult Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae). In the first experiment, larvae of Cx. pipiens were reared at different intraspecific densities and exposed to sub‐lethal doses of malathion. In the second experiment, different intraspecific densities of Cx. pipiens larvae were reared under conditions of low or high larval nutrients, and subsequent adults were fed on either water or 10% sucrose solution. Malathion treatment had relatively minor effects compared with density, which had significant negative effects on development rate, survivorship to adulthood, body size (wing length) and longevity. As larval density increased, a sex ratio distortion in survivorship to adulthood emerged, in which a bias towards males was apparent. Nutrient‐rich larval environments alleviated, in part, the effects of increasing density and extended the lifespan of mosquitoes fed on water and 10% sucrose. Density‐dependent alterations in adult longevity attributable to the larval environment are complex and show contrasting results depending on interactions with other environmental factors. This study suggests that larval resource availability and competition influence Cx. pipiens population growth correlates and have lasting effects on traits that relate to a mosquito's ability to vector pathogens.

First report of L1014F kdr mutation in Culex quinquefasciatus in Mexico

The L1014F mutation in the voltage‐sodium channel gene has been associated with resistance to DDT and pyrethroids in various arthropod species including mosquitoes. We determined the frequency of the L1014F kdr mutation in 16 field populations of Culex quinquefasciatus from Northeastern Mexico collected between 2008 and 2013. The L1014F was present in all populations analyzed with the lowest frequency (3.33%) corresponding to the population from Monclova collected in 2012, and the highest frequency (63.63%) from the Monterrey population collected in 2012. The presence of a kdr mutation in populations of Cx. quinquefasciatus from northeastern Mexico provides evidence of pyrethroid resistance. This requires a special attention, considering that pyrethroid‐based insecticides are commonly used in vector‐control campaigns, especially against Aedes aegypti (L.).     

Preliminary report of knockdown resistance in Culex pipiens pallens and Aedes koreicus from Korea

Pyrethroid insecticides have been effective and powerful for controlling mosquitoes. However, abuse of these insecticides increases the number of resistant mosquitoes. In this study, Culex pipiens pallens and Aedes koreicus were collected from an artificial reservoir in the vicinity of a populated area in Korea, which is also a migratory bird catchment area. To monitor resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in mosquitoes, genomic DNA from the collected mosquitoes was sequenced for the kdr mutation in the voltage‐gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene. As a result, three samples with homozygous resistance (17.6%) and one with heterozygous resistance (5.9%) were found among 17 Cx. pipiens pallens specimens. One of the samples had a unique sequence at the amplified VGSC region. Of the 15 Ae. koreicus, no insecticide resistant individuals were found. In Korea, this is the first report of kdr genetic traits in Ae. koreicus and Cx. pipiens pallens and of a unique VGSC allele in Cx. pipiens pallens. Further investigation is needed to monitor the kdr resistance of these species in Korea and to determine how the unique sequence found in Cx. pipiens pallens is related to insecticide resistance.     

Stempellia milleri sp. n. (Microsporida: Nosematidae) in the Mosquito Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say*

Stempellia milleri sp. n. was found in blood cells and the adipose tissue of field-collected larvae of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say. Its development is different from other Stempellia species described in that it is dimorphic, producing two types of spores in adipose cells. Both were studied with the electron microscope. One spore is thin-walled and uninucleate; the other is thick-walled and binucleate. The latter spores are produced from sporonts that are somewhat similar to those of Nosema. Sporoblasts and spores of S. milleri were compared to those of Stempellia magna Kudo, and Stempellia lunata Hazard and Savage in both light and electron microscope preparations. S. milleri was transmitted experimentally to Culex pipiens pipiens, C. p. quinquefasciatus, C. salinarius, C. tarsalis, and C. territans. Transmission of S. magna to its host and other mosquito species was not possible. Although, generally low numbers of test larvae became infected with the pathogen, heavy infections were seen occasionally in individual specimens of its natural host, C. p. quinquefasciatus. Species of Aedes, Anopheles, Culiseta, Psorophora, and Uranotaenia exposed to spores of S. milleri were not susceptible to the disease.
