昆虫病原线虫对红火蚁的致病力及田间防控效果

红火蚁Solenopsis invicta Buren是一种国际重大外来入侵生物,严重危害农林生产、生命健康、公共安全和生态环境。本研究在室内条件下测定了小卷蛾斯氏线虫Steinernema carpocapsae All品系、长尾斯氏线虫S. longicaudum X-7品系和芫菁夜蛾斯氏线虫S. feltiae SN品系对红火蚁的致病力,并筛选出高致病力品系及其对红火蚁的田间防控效果。结果表明,不同昆虫病原线虫对红火蚁不同虫态的致病力存在显著差异。3种线虫对红火蚁幼虫具有较高的致病力,处理3 d后,幼虫的累计校正致死率均为100%。3种线虫对工蚁的致病力均较弱,处理10 d后的校正死亡率均小于30%。与芫菁夜蛾斯氏线虫SN品系相比,长尾斯氏线虫X-7品系和小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对蛹和生殖蚁具有较强的致病能力,10 d后累计校正死亡率均达到90%以上。田间试验表明,施用小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对红火蚁工蚁的防控效果最高可达63.7%,且不会增加红火蚁的迁巢风险。综上所述,小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系和长尾斯氏线虫X-7品系为红火蚁的高致病品系,田间施用小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对红火蚁工蚁具有显著的控制作用,可推荐用于红火蚁的生物防治。     

病原线虫对桔小实蝇种群的控制作用

通过室内和田间实验研究了昆虫病原线虫对桔小实蝇Bactrocera (Bactrocera) dorsalis (Hendel)的控制作用。室内实验结果表明,供试的3种线虫的4个品系（小卷蛾斯氏线虫Steinernema carpocapsae All品系与A24品系,夜蛾斯氏线虫Steinernema feltiae SN品系和嗜菌异小杆线虫Heterorhabditis bacteriophora H06品系）,以小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对桔小实蝇的侵染力最强,其3天的LD₅₀和LD₉₅分别为35.0和257.1条/cm²土壤。按300条/cm²土壤的量施用,小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对当代桔小实蝇的控制效果为86.3%。用以虫期作用因子组建的生命表方法评价了小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对田间桔小实蝇下代种群的控制作用,结果表明,按300条/cm²土壤的量施用线虫,对照杨桃园的桔小实蝇种群趋势指数为105.9,而处理杨桃园的桔小实蝇种群趋势指数下降为15.5;小卷蛾斯氏线虫All品系对桔小实蝇的干扰控制指数为0.146,即线虫处理果园的下代种群密度仅为对照果园的14.6%。     

昆虫病原线虫对黄地老虎致病力的研究

为了探索应用昆虫病原线虫防治黄地老虎Agrotis segetum的可行性,室内生测比较了9个昆虫病原线虫品系对黄地老虎4龄幼虫的致病力。生测结果表明,9个不同昆虫病原线虫品系对黄地老虎4龄幼虫的致病力差别很大,其中格氏线虫Steinernema glaseri ib(Sgib)是对黄地老虎幼虫致病力最强的昆虫病原线虫品系,侵染24、36和72 h黄地老虎幼虫的校正死亡率均高于其他线虫品系。此外,还测定了不同温度、土壤湿度以及线虫剂量对格氏线虫Sgib致病力的影响,结果表明,在21℃-27℃、20%土壤湿度以及侵染期线虫与黄地老虎幼虫数量比不少于10∶1的条件下,格氏线虫Sgib对黄地老虎幼虫的致病效果最好。田间小区实验表明,格氏线虫Sgib对黄地老虎幼虫的防效达到96.67%。     

昆虫病原线虫对草原毛虫幼虫的致病力

草原毛虫Gynaephora alpherakii是青藏高原草原的主要害虫。国家明令禁止使用化学药剂防控这一害虫。因此,有必要以生物农药控制这种害虫。本试验室内测定5种昆虫病原线虫（Steinernema longicaudum X-7,S. carpocapsae All,S. feltiae SN,Heterorhabditis bacteriophora H06和H. indica LN2）对草原毛虫的致病力。结果表明,S. carpocapsae All、S. feltiae SN两种线虫对草原毛虫的侵染效果较好。适宜S. carpocapsae All、S. feltiae SN线虫的侵染活动的环境温度为25℃;低温环境下两种线虫随着剂量的提高,对草原毛虫的致病力均有着显著地增长（P<0.05）,且S. feltiae SN线虫的活性高于S. carpocapsae All线虫。因此,昆虫病原线虫S. feltiae SN品系具有效防治青藏高原高寒草地草原毛虫的应用潜力。     

不同品系昆虫病原线虫对烟草小地老虎的致病力

小地老虎Agrotis ypsilon Rottemberg是烟田的一种重要的地下害虫。为了探明不同品系的昆虫线虫对烟田地下害虫小地老虎的致病力,在室内采用生测试验法,以滤纸为介质,测定了斯氏属线虫Steinernema carpocapsae和异小杆属线虫Heterorhabditis bacteriophora共5个品系对小地老虎3龄幼虫、5龄幼虫和蛹的致病力。结果表明,5个不同昆虫病原线虫品系均对小地老虎3龄幼虫具有致病力,其中斯氏线虫S.carpocapsae-A11(Sc-A11)对小地老虎的致死速度最快,侵染24 h、36 h和72 h后小地老虎校正死亡率分别为41.3%、69.7%和86.7%,均高于其它线虫品系,小地老虎的死亡率随着线虫侵染时间的增加而增加的,至96 h后校正死亡率达到100%,Sc-A11侵染5龄幼虫的校正死亡率均高于其它线虫品系,可见Sc-A11对小地老虎幼虫的致病力最强,为最敏感的昆虫病原线虫品系。Sc-All对小地老虎3龄幼虫、5龄幼虫的校正死亡率在72 h时分别为86.7%、43.3%,化蛹率为23.7%,Sc-All不侵染小地老虎蛹。盆栽烟草上线虫Sc-A11剂量为20头IJs/cm~2施用3次和线虫剂量为80头IJs/cm~2施用2次的处理的保苗效果最好,3 d后保苗效果分别为79.64%和76.85%,达到最佳的防治效果。     

小卷蛾斯氏线虫侵染对草地贪夜蛾幼虫天然免疫反应的影响

【目的】探讨昆虫病原线虫小卷蛾斯氏线虫Steinernema carpocapsae All侵染对草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda幼虫天然免疫反应的影响。【方法】借助倒置显微镜观察和鉴定草地贪夜蛾幼虫的血细胞类型,并对小卷蛾斯氏线虫侵染后不同时间的草地贪夜蛾幼虫血细胞总数目进行统计;通过倒置显微镜观察草地贪夜蛾幼虫对侵入的小卷蛾斯氏线虫的包囊反应;利用倒置荧光显微镜观察小卷蛾斯氏线虫侵染后的草地贪夜蛾幼虫血细胞对金黄色葡萄球菌Staphylococcus aureus的吞噬活性;检测小卷蛾斯氏线虫侵染后的草地贪夜蛾幼虫血淋巴中酚氧化酶(phenoloxidase, PO)活性、体内抗菌肽基因相对表达水平以及血浆的抗菌活性。【结果】从草地贪夜蛾幼虫体内共发现5种不同类型的血细胞,分别为原血细胞、粒细胞、类绛色细胞、珠血细胞和浆血细胞。注射1 μL侵染期(infective juveniles, IJs)小卷蛾斯氏线虫(3 IJs/μL)后9和12 h,草地贪夜蛾幼虫的血细胞总数目显著增多。草地贪夜蛾幼虫的血细胞不能包囊活的以及冷处死的小卷蛾斯氏线虫,但可以包囊热处死的线虫。活的小卷蛾斯氏线虫会显著抑制草地贪夜蛾幼虫血细胞对金黄色葡萄球菌的吞噬活性,但冷处死和热处死的线虫不能。注射1 μL(3 IJs/μL)小卷蛾斯氏线虫后,草地贪夜蛾幼虫血淋巴PO活性总体呈“下降 升高 下降”变化趋势;体内抗菌肽基因Attacin-A2, Attacin-B1, Cecropin-B3, Cecropin-D, Gallerimycin, Gloverin-3以及Lebocin-2的表达水平在线虫侵染后12 h时显著上调,24 h时恢复到对照水平或低于对照水平;血淋巴抗菌活性水平在小卷蛾斯氏线虫侵染后12 h时显著升高,24 h时与对照无显著差异。【结论】小卷蛾斯氏线虫在侵入早期会抑制草地贪夜蛾幼虫的天然免疫反应来建立感染;随后草地贪夜蛾的免疫系统会被激活试图抵御小卷蛾斯氏线虫的侵染;后期随着线虫的成功定殖,草地贪夜蛾的免疫系统最终被抑制或破坏。本研究所得结果为进一步揭示线虫 草地贪夜蛾的免疫互作机理奠定了基础,也为改善昆虫病原线虫对草地贪夜蛾的防治效果提供了理论依据。     

4种昆虫病原线虫对草地贪夜蛾的致死作用

【目的】探讨昆虫病原线虫对草地贪夜蛾幼虫的侵染效果。【方法】在室内条件下采用生测试验法,测定了小卷蛾斯氏线虫AⅡ、长尾斯氏线虫X-7、夜蛾斯氏线虫SN和嗜菌异小杆线虫H06等4种昆虫病原线虫对草地贪夜蛾2龄和5龄幼虫的致死作用。【结果】小卷蛾斯氏线虫AⅡ与草地贪夜蛾数量比为50∶1时,36 h后草地贪夜蛾2龄和5龄幼虫的死亡率分别为92%和100%。长尾斯氏线虫X-7与草地贪夜蛾数量比为50∶1时,36 h后草地贪夜蛾2龄幼虫的死亡率为80%;在数量比30∶1时,36 h后草地贪夜蛾5龄幼虫死亡率为100%。夜蛾斯氏线虫SN与草地贪夜蛾数量比为400∶1时,36 h后草地贪夜蛾2龄和5龄幼虫的死亡率分别为88%和85%。嗜菌异小杆线虫H06与草地贪夜蛾在400∶1时,36 h后草地贪夜蛾2龄和5龄幼虫的死亡率分别为32%和67.5%。【结论】小卷蛾斯氏线虫AⅡ具有较好的草地贪夜蛾生物防治潜质,其次是长尾斯氏线虫X-7。

【目的】为提高昆虫病原线虫对韭菜迟眼蕈蚊Bradysia odoriphaga Yang et Zhang幼虫的防治效果,将昆虫病原线虫与环境友好型化学杀虫剂混用是一条有效途径。【方法】测定了噻虫嗪与6个昆虫病原线虫品系混用对韭菜迟眼蕈蚊的作用效果,以及温度和土壤含水量对作用效果的影响,并进行了田间验证。【结果】田间推荐浓度噻虫嗪(100 mg·L~(-1))对6种供试线虫存活无显著影响。处理后3 d,低浓度噻虫嗪(15 mg·L~(-1))分别与6品系线虫混合后处理韭菜迟眼蕈蚊幼虫,其死亡率明显高于线虫和噻虫嗪单用处理。小卷蛾斯氏线虫SF-SN+噻虫嗪、印度异小杆线虫LN2+噻虫嗪和小卷蛾斯氏线虫All+噻虫嗪3种组合发挥杀虫作用的最适温度范围分别为20~25℃、25~30℃和25~30℃,显著高于其他温度;最适土壤含水量范围为10%~18%,也显著高于其他湿度。大田条件下,施用后7 d,单用噻虫嗪、线虫+噻虫嗪组合处理对韭菜迟眼蕈蚊的防治效果显著高于单线虫,且以芫菁夜蛾斯氏线虫SF-SN+噻虫嗪的防治效果最高,达到93%以上。【结论】芫菁夜蛾斯氏线虫SF-SN品系与噻虫嗪组合联合防治韭菜迟眼蕈蚊效果最好。     

昆虫病原线虫斯氏线虫和异小杆线虫对长角血蜱雌蜱的致病力

用昆虫病原线虫小卷蛾斯氏线虫（Sc BJ）、夜蛾斯氏线虫（Sf Otio）、拟双角斯氏线虫（Sc D43）、格氏斯氏线虫（Sg NC32）和嗜菌异小杆线虫（Hb E-6-7）对长角血蜱雌蜱进行感染试验,所用线虫剂量为4 000 Ijs/dish。结果表明,5种线虫均对长角血蜱雌蜱有致死效应。Hb E-6-7和Sc BJ两种线虫对雌蜱各发育期致病力最强,导致雌蜱的累积死亡率和半致死时间分别为饥饿雌蜱82.5%,9.0天和75.0%,8.8天;吸血雌蜱90.0%,8.0天和82.5%,8.0天;饱血雌蜱93.3%,7.3天和86.7%,7.3天。Sc D43对饱血雌蜱有较高的致死效应,为80.0%,但半致死时间较长,为11.7天。Sf Otio和Sg NC32对长角血蜱雌蜱的致死效应较低。饱血雌蜱较饥饿雌蜱和吸血雌蜱更易被线虫感染。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
