BACKGROUND: The Onchocerciasis Control Program (OCP) in West Africa has been closed down at the end of 2002. All subsequent control will be transferred to the participating countries and will almost entirely be based on periodic mass treatment with ivermectin. This makes the question whether elimination of infection or eradication of onchocerciasis can be achieved using this strategy of critical importance. This study was undertaken to explore this issue. METHODS: An empirical approach was adopted in which a comprehensive analysis was undertaken of available data on the impact of more than a decade of ivermectin treatment on onchocerciasis infection and transmission. Relevant entomological and epidemiological data from 14 river basins in the OCP and one basin in Cameroon were reviewed. Areas were distinguished by frequency of treatment (6-monthly or annually), endemicity level and additional control measures such as vector control. Assessment of results were in terms of epidemiological and entomological parameters, and as a measure of inputs, therapeutic and geographical coverage rates were used. RESULTS: In all of the river basins studied, ivermectin treatment sharply reduced prevalence and intensity of infection. Significant transmission, however, is still ongoing in some basins after 10-12 years of ivermectin treatment. In other basins, transmission may have been interrupted, but this needs to be confirmed by in-depth evaluations. In one mesoendemic basin, where 20 rounds of four-monthly treatment reduced prevalence of infection to levels as low as 2-3%, there was significant recrudescence of infection within a few years after interruption of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Ivermectin treatment has been very successful in eliminating onchocerciasis as a public health problem. However, the results presented in this paper make it almost certain that repeated ivermectin mass treatment will not lead to the elimination of transmission of onchocerciasis from West Africa. Data on 6-monthly treatments are not sufficient to draw definitive conclusions. 相似文献

Monokaryotic mycelia of the homobasidiomycete Coprinus cinereus form asexual spores (oidia) constitutively in abundant numbers. Mycelia with mutations in both mating type loci (Amut Bmut homokaryons) also produce copious oidia but only when exposed to blue light. We used such an Amut Bmut homokaryon to define environmental and inherent factors that influence the light-induced oidiation process. We show that the Amut function causes repression of oidiation in the dark and that light overrides this effect. Similarly, compatible genes from different haplotypes of the A mating type locus repress sporulation in the dark and not in the light. Compatible products of the B mating type locus reduce the outcome of light on A-mediated repression but the mutated B function present in the Amut Bmut homokaryons is not effective. In dikaryons, the coordinated regulation of asexual sporulation by compatible A and B mating type genes results in moderate oidia production in light. Copyright 1998 Academic Press. 相似文献

Antisera raised against galectin-1 exhibit crossreactivities with other
galectins or related molecules. In order to overcome this problem, a
monoclonal antibody to human brain galectin-1 was obtained by selecting
clones without reactivity toward galectin-3. This mAb specifically bound
galectin-1 of various animal origins but neither galectin-2 nor galectin-3.
Western-blotting analysis of soluble human brain extracts after 2D gel
electrophoresis revealed only the two most acidic isoforms of galectin-1.
The ability of this mAb to bind galectin-1/asialofetuin complexes indicates
that its epitope is not localized in the carbohydrate recognition domain of
galectin-1. This particularity induces with efficiency its monospecificity.

An anchored restriction-mapping approach applied to the genetic analysis of the Anopheles gambiae malaria vector complex 1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We introduce here a simple approach for rapidly determining restriction
maps for a number of regions of a genome; this involves "anchoring" a map
with a rare restriction site (in this case the seldom-cutting EagI)
followed by partial digestion of a frequent-cutting enzyme (e.g., Sau 3A).
We applied this technology to five species of the Anopheles gambiae
complex. In a single Southern blot we obtained about a 15-kb restriction
map each for the mtDNA, rRNA gene, and a scnDNA region for each of five
species. Phylogenetic analyses of these regions yield trees at odds with
the more traditional chromosome inversion-based trees. The value of the
approach for systematic purposes is the ease with which several large,
independent regions of the genome can be quickly assayed for molecular
variation.

The biological impact of consumption of sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dumont) G. Don) genotypes varying in tannin content was examined for two generalist insect herbivores, Heliothis zea Boddie and Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Foliage of high- and lowtannin genotypes did not substantially affect the growth and development of either species when incorporated into meridic diet except at large concentrations where a diet containing high tanin genotypes reduced larval weight and delayed pupation of both species. Fresh foliage of sericea lespedeza with varying levels of tannin did not adversely affect larval growth and development of S. frugiperda. All genotypes were a poor host for H. zea in that most larvae died before pupation. Initial larval weight of H. zea was not consistently different between high- and low-tannin genotypes. Except for one low-tannin genotype having a greater efficiency of conversion of digested diet than the other genotypes, foliage tannin content had little effect on diet assimilation and utilization and larval developmental and consumption rates of stages 6 and 7 H. zea larvae. H. zea neonates also did not show a significant preference for any genotypes. Therefore, tannin content of sericea lespedeza had relatively little effect on the growth and development of these generalist insect defoliators which suggests that low-tannin genotypes of sericea lespedeza will not be substantially more susceptible to defoliation by these species. The poor performance of H. zea on all L. cuneata genotypes suggests that the plant may contain factors other than tannin that inhibit the growth and development of this species or that sericea lespedeza lacks essential nutrients for proper development of H. zea.
Résumé Les effets de la consommation de phénotypes de la légumineuse S. lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) (Dumont) (G. Don) dont les teneurs en tanin diffèrent, ont été examinés sur 2 insectes généralistes; Heliothis zea Boddie et Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lep.: Noctuidae). Le feuillage de phénotypes à teneur élevée ou basse en tanin n'a pas affecté considérablement la croissance et le développement des 2 espèces, quand il a été incorporé dans un régime méridique, sauf aux fortes concentrations où un régime contenant le phénotype riche en tanin a réduit le poids larvaire et retardé la nymphose des 2 espèces. Le feuillage frais de S. lespedeza avec différentes teneurs en tanin n'a pas nui au développement et à la croissance larvaire de S. frugiperda. Tous les phénotypes ont constitué un hôte désavantageux pour H. zea dont toutes les chenilles sont mortes avant la nymphose. Les poids initiaux des chenilles de H. zea ne différaient pas significativement suivant la pauvreté ou la richesse en tanin des phénotypes. A l'exception d'un phénotype pauvre en tanin ayant une plus grande efficacité de transformation lors de la digestion, la teneur en tanin du feuillage a eu peu d'effet sur l'assimilation du repas, son utilisation, les taux de consommation et le développement larvaire des stades 6 et 7 des chenilles d'H. zea. Les chenilles néonates de H. zea n'ont présenté aucune préférence significative pour l'un des phénotypes. Par conséquent, la teneur en tanin de S. lespedeza a eu relativement peu d'effet sur la croissance et le développement de ces deux généralistes défoliateurs, ce qui suggère que les phénotypes de S. lespedeza pauvres en tanin ne sont pas nettement plus susceptibles de défoliation par ces espèces. Les faibles performances de H. zea sur tous les phénotypes de S. lespedeza suggèrent que cette plante peut contenir des facteurs autres que les tanins qui inhibent la croissance et le développement de cette espèce ou que S. lespedeza manque de certains éléments nécessaires au développement de H. zea.相似文献

The discovery of several new loci for resistance to Hessian fly was reported here. QHf.uga-6AL, the late HR61 was recognized from wheat cultivar 26R61 on the distal end of 6AL with resistance to both biotypes E and vH13. It is the first gene or QTL found on this particular chromosome. QHf.uga-3DL and QHf.uga-1AL, physically assigned to the deletion bins 3DL2-0.27–0.81 and 1AL1-0.17–0.61, respectively, were detected for resistance to biotype vH13. Both QTL should represent new loci for Hessian fly resistance and the latter was detectable only in the late seedling stage when tolerance was evident. In addition, QHf.uga-6DS-C and QHf.uga-1AS had minor effect and were identified from the susceptible parent AGS 2000 for resistance to biotype E and vH13, respectively. QHf.uga-6DS-C is different from the known gene H13 on 6DS and QHf.uga-1AS is different from H9 gene cluster on 1AS. These loci also might be new components of Hessian fly resistance, although their LOD values were not highly significant. The QTL detections were all conducted on a RIL mapping population of 26R61/AGS 2000 with good genome coverage of molecular markers. The strategy used in the current study will serve as a good starting point for the discovery and mapping of resistance genes including tolerance to the pest and the closely linked markers will certainly be useful in selecting or pyramiding of these loci in breeding programs. 相似文献

The kudzu bug or bean plataspid, Megacopta cribraria (Fabricius), is native to Asia where it appears to be widely distributed (although the taxonomy is not entirely clear), but is infrequently a pest of legumes. This bug appeared in 2009 in the southeastern United States, where it is closely associated with kudzu, Pueraria montana Lour. [Merr.] variety lobata [Willd.] Maesen & S. Almeida. However, the insect has become a consistent economic pest of soybeans, Glycine max (L.) Merr., and some other leguminous crops in areas where large numbers can build in kudzu, in addition to being a considerable nuisance in urban landscapes where kudzu occurs. The insect has remarkable capacity for movement and has spread rapidly from nine Georgia counties in 2009 to seven states in 2012. Despite being a nuisance in urban areas and a crop pest, high populations of the bug also reduce the biomass of kudzu, which is itself a seriously problematic invasive weed, complicating the status of M. cribraria in its expanded range. Extant predators and a pathogen in the US have been observed attacking kudzu bugs in the laboratory and field, but no parasitism of eggs or nymphs has been observed to date. A single record of parasitism of an adult kudzu bug by a tachinid fly is known from the US, but no other adult parasitism has been observed in the US or elsewhere. Extant enemies may eventually significantly reduce the bug’s populations, but at present native enemies appear to be insufficient for the task, and exotic enemies from the kudzu bug’s native range may offer the best possibility for effective biological control in the US. Based on the available literature, the best option for an importation biological control program appears to be the platygastrid egg parasitoid Paratelenomus saccharalis (Dodd) because of its apparent host specificity, intimate biological linkages with M. cribraria, and wide geographic distribution in the Eastern Hemisphere. Other natural enemies may eventually emerge as good candidates for importation, but at present P. saccharalis appears to be the most promising. 相似文献
