玫烟色棒束孢相容性农药筛选及混用对小菜蛾的防效

为了明确玫烟色棒束孢Isaria fumosoroseus与常用农药的相容性,本研究测定了7种常用农药制剂对玫烟色棒束孢菌丝生长、孢子萌发以及产孢量的影响,测试了相容性较好杀虫剂与玫烟色棒束孢混用对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella Linnaeus的防治效果。结果表明,田间使用浓度下,氯虫苯甲酰胺、双丙环虫酯和四氯虫酰胺对菌丝抑制作用相对较小,田间浓度和亚致死浓度的阿维菌素对菌丝生长具有促进作用。所有供试农药在田间使用浓度下对孢子萌发均具有明显抑制作用,抑制作用随农药浓度降低而减弱,其中噻虫啉和四氯虫酰胺对孢子萌发抑制作用相对较小。所有测试药剂对产孢量具有显著抑制作用,抑制作用随农药浓度降低而减弱,其中噻虫啉和氯虫苯甲酰胺抑制作用较小。玫烟色棒束孢3种浓度（9×107、9×106、9×105个孢子/mL）分别与次亚致死剂量四氯虫酰胺混用对小菜蛾的LT50分别为2.19 d、2.94 d、5.16 d,杀虫速度高于单用相应浓度真菌处理（2.34 d、3.29 d、5.33 d）和四氯虫酰胺单独处理（10.60 d）。综合分析结果表明,低剂量的四氯虫酰胺、噻虫啉和氯虫苯甲酰胺与玫烟色棒束孢相容性相对较好,是田间菌药混用可供选择对象;次亚致死剂量的四氯虫酰胺与真菌混用防控小菜蛾具有协同增效作用。     

一株玫烟色虫草对草地贪夜蛾的致病性研究

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda(J.E Smith)是我国新发现的一种重要外来入侵害虫。为了寻找对草地贪夜蛾有致病性的昆虫病原真菌,本实验采用浸虫法研究了玫烟色虫草Cordyceps(=Isaria)fumosorosea SCAU-IFCF01对草地贪夜蛾1~6龄幼虫的致病力,通过体视镜观察了幼虫感菌后侵染症状和体表病变过程。结果表明:菌株IFCF01可侵染草地贪夜蛾6个龄期的幼虫。4龄幼虫接种后48 h,虫体出现缩短、强直等形态变化;接种后72 h,幼虫死亡且体外形成菌丝层;接种后120 h,虫体被浅玫烟色的分生孢子覆盖。随孢子浓度的升高,幼虫的感病死亡率增加,当浓度达到1×109孢子/mL时,1~3龄幼虫的累计死亡率均为100%,4龄幼虫和5龄幼虫也达到了98.9%和50%,6龄幼虫仅21.1%。5 d后1~5龄幼虫的LC 50值分别为3.74×104、1.17×105、1.86×105、8.09×105和3.03×108孢子/mL。幼虫LT 50值随孢子浓度增加而递减,在浓度为1.0×105~1.0×109孢子/mL的范围内,1龄幼虫和2龄幼虫的LT 50值分别为3.62~1.37 d和4.51~1.65 d;在1.0×106~1.0×109孢子/mL时,对3龄幼虫的LT 50为4.03~1.82 d;浓度为1.0×107~1.0×109孢子/mL时,对4龄幼虫的LT 50为3.47~2.52 d。浓度为1.0×109孢子/mL时,5龄幼虫的LT 50为4.74 d。本研究结果表明,玫烟色虫草菌株IFCF01对草地贪夜蛾幼虫具有较强的致病力,为今后草地贪夜蛾微生物防治提供重要的有效真菌。     

Physiological biomarkers of hypoxic stress in red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii from field and laboratory experiments

The crayfish industry in Louisiana is the largest in the United States, with crayfish frequently harvested from waters that experience episodic or chronic hypoxia (dissolved oxygen [DO]≤ 2 mg/l). We examined physiological biomarkers (hemolymph lactate, glucose, and protein concentrations) of hypoxic stress in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii from chronically hypoxic natural habitats and laboratory hypoxia experiments. P. clarkii from normoxic and hypoxic areas in the Atchafalaya River Basin were sampled monthly from April to July 2010. Laboratory experiments subjected P. clarkii to severe hypoxia (1 mg/l DO), moderate hypoxia (2 mg/l DO), or normoxic conditions (control: DO>7.5 mg/l) for 12, 24, and 48 h. P. clarkii from normoxic and hypoxic natural habitats did not display significantly different hemolymph lactate or glucose concentrations; however, mean hemolymph protein concentration was significantly lower in crayfish from hypoxic areas. P. clarkii exposed to severe hypoxia in laboratory experiments had significantly higher hemolymph lactate and glucose concentrations for all three exposure times, whereas large differences in protein concentrations were not observed. These results suggest that elevated hemolymph lactate and glucose concentrations are responses to acute hypoxia in P. clarkii, while differences in protein concentrations are the result of chronic hypoxic exposure.     

Mating-increases trypsin in female Drosophila hemolymph

Male-derived accessory gland proteins (Acps) are transferred to the female reproductive tract during mating and affect female reproductive maturation and behavior. Some Acps subsequently enter the female hemolymph. We hypothesized that humoral proteases are the primary effectors of Acp bioactivity by processing (activating) and/or degrading them. To test this hypothesis we examined the fate of one Acp, Drosophila melanogaster Sex Peptide (Acp70A, DrmSP), which possesses several putative serine-protease cleavage sites, in hemolymph of unmated and mated females. In D. melanogaster, DrmSP induces post-mating non-receptivity and enhances oogenesis. To determine if serine proteases regulate the duration of DrmSP activity in mated females, we performed kinetic analysis of cleavage of a synthetic N-terminal truncated DrmSP(8-36) (T-SP) with hemolymph of unmated versus mated females. We found that T-SP is cleaved more rapidly and completely in mated female hemolymph. Using LC-MS/MS analyses, we identified its primary cleavage sites, indicating that trypsin was the major endopeptidase regulating T-SP in hemolymph. This was verified in vitro by utilizing specific chromogenic serine-protease substrates and inhibitors. We propose that post-mating cleavage of DrmSP in the female hemolymph regulates the duration of the rapidly induced post-mating responses in D. melanogaster and that this is a specific example of Acp bioactivity regulated by hemolymph serine proteases.     

Lipid mediators and vector infection: Trypanosoma rangeli inhibits Rhodnius prolixus hemocyte phagocytosis by modulation of phospholipase A2 and PAF-acetylhydrolase activities

In this work we investigated the effects of Trypanosoma rangeli infection through a blood meal on the hemocyte phagocytosis in experiments using the 5th instar larvae of Rhodnius prolixus. Hemocyte phagocytic activity was strongly blocked by oral infection with the parasites. In contrast, hemocyte phagocytosis inhibition caused by T. rangeli infection was rescued by exogenous arachidonic acid (20 microg/insect) or platelet activating factor (PAF; 1 microg/insect) applied by hemocelic injection. Following the oral infection with the protozoan we observed significant attenuation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activities in R. prolixus hemocytes (cytosolic PLA2: cPLA2, secreted PLA2: sPLA2 and Ca+2-independent PLA2: iPLA2) and enhancement of sPLA2 activities in cell-free hemolymph. At the same time, the PAF-acetyl hydrolase (PAF-AH) activity in the cell-free hemolymph increased considerably. Our results suggest that T. rangeli infection depresses eicosanoid and insect PAF analogous (iPAF) pathways giving support to the role of PLA2 in the regulation of arachidonic acid and iPAF biosynthesis and of PAF-AH by reducing the concentration of iPAF in R. prolixus. This illustrates the ability of T. rangeli to modulate the immune responses of R. prolixus to favor its own multiplication in the hemolymph.     

Humoral response of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata to trematode infection: observations on a circulating hemagglutinin

The hemolymph of invertebrates often contains molecules that agglutinate vertebrate erythrocytes and that may function as humoral mediators of "non-self" recognition. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine if exposure of M line or 10-R2 strain Biomphalaria glabrata snails to infection with the trematodes Echinostoma paraensei and Schistosoma mansoni could increase agglutinating activity in snail hemolymph, and 2) identify particular hemolymph molecules with such activity. In some host-parasite combinations, such as juvenile M line snails and E. paraensei, infection provoked significant elevations in titer from as early as 2 days postinfection (dpi) through 15 dpi. In other combinations, as with 10-R2 snails and E. paraensei or S. mansoni, host responses were comparatively modest, yet still measurable. In general, E. paraensei and S. mansoni elicited different responses from the same host strain, and M line and 10-R2 snails responded differently to the same parasite. Further study of the response of juvenile M line snails to E. paraensei indicated that hemolymph agglutinating activity could be inhibited by several monosaccharides (including L-fucose) and by EDTA and EGTA. An affinity column containing L-fucose agarose beads was used to purify molecules with agglutinating activity from the hemolymph of such snails. The fraction eluted from the column by 0.2 M L-fucose was shown by SDS-PAGE to contain a broad band of 80-120 kD and, less consistently, a 200 kD band. Following extensive dialysis to remove L-fucose, this fraction had agglutinating activity. As a previous study has shown that the hemolymph of E. paraensei-infected snails contains significantly increased quantities of 80-120 kD polypeptides, it is concluded that polypeptides in this size range are responsible, at least in part, for the increased hemolymph agglutination activity in such snails.     

High-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of hemolymph plasma catecholamines in immune-reactive Aedes aegypti

Tyrosine and catecholamines have been implicated as substrates for the encapsulation reactions involved in the immune response of mosquitoes to microfilariae (mff). Identification and quantitation of tyrosine and catecholamines present in Aedes aegypti hemolymph plasma were accomplished by ion-pair high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection at either +650 or +850 mV vs Ag/AgCl. Tyrosine, dopamine, and N-beta-alanyldopamine were detected in the hemolymph plasma of naive A. aegypti. Although no differences in these compounds were observed in hemolymph plasma from A. aegypti inoculated with Dirofilaria immitis mff, the chromatogram showed a single major peak (PI) (65 microM, expressed as dopamine equivalents) that was not present in naive hemolymph plasma. Saline-inoculated controls contained only 5% of the PI in immune reactive hemolymph plasma. A high concentration of PI (127 +/- 39 microM) was also detected after treatment of hemolymph plasma with mild alkaline conditions (pH 9.0), indicating that it is normally present as an electrochemically inert form in naive mosquitoes. High concentrations of PI were also detected in the naive hemolymph plasma from three other mosquito species, but no PI was found in A. trivittatus under any conditions. PI did not cochromatograph with any of the catecholamines commonly thought to be involved in immune responses of dipterans against metazoan parasites, suggesting that it may be a unique substrate for these reactions. The biological relevance of PI was evidenced by its appearance in the hemolymph plasma of two strains of D. immitis-inoculated A. aegypti.     

Dopaminergic regulation of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone and glucose levels in the hemolymph of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii

The effects of dopamine on crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) release and hemolymph glucose levels in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii were investigated. A quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using antibodies specific for Prc CHH was developed and characterized. The sensitivity of the ELISA was about 1 fmol/well. Specific measurement of CHH in hemolymph samples by the ELISA was demonstrated by the parallelism between CHH standard curve and sample (hemolymph) titration curve. Moreover, thermally stressed P. clarkii exhibited a characteristic change of hemolymph CHH levels as revealed by the ELISA. CHH and glucose levels increased significantly within 30 min of dopamine injection, peaked at 1 h, and returned to the basal levels at 4 h. Dose-dependent effects of dopamine on CHH and glucose levels were observed between 10(-8) to 10(-6) mol/animal. Dopamine-induced increases in CHH and glucose levels were absent in eyestalk-ablated animals. Finally, dopamine significantly stimulated the release of CHH from in vitro incubated eyestalk ganglia. These results suggest that dopamine enhances release of CHH into hemolymph that in turn evokes hyperglycemic responses and that the predominant site of dopamine-induced CHH release is the X-organ-sinus gland complex located within the eyestalk.     

Differences in the responses of identified neurons to chemical stimuli in satiated and hungry edible snails

Reactions of command neurones for avoidance behaviour to food were investigated in hungry and satiated snails in "CNS-chemoreceptor" preparations, in which hemolymph was washed out by saline. Neuronal responses in hungry animal preparations differed significantly from responses in satiated animals preparations. Perfusion of hungry animal preparations with hemolymph of satiated animals changed significantly the responses of command neurones for avoidance behaviour. These responses resembled the reactions of the same neurones to food after aversive conditioning to food of hungry snails. The role of humoral factor in learning is discussed.
