条形柄锈菌34号生理小种的分子标记

条形柄锈菌Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici 34号生理小种(CYR34)是目前我国毒性谱最宽、毒性最强的生理小种,对小麦生产和抗病品种选育造成了极大的影响。本研究采用RAPD-SCAR分子标记技术,从300条RAPD随机引物中筛选到CYR34的特异引物,通过特异性片段回收、克隆和测序(GenBank登录号为OL907303),依据序列设计出了S2008F34/S2008R34特异性引物,能够从CYR34及接种CYR34的小麦发病叶片总DNA中都扩增出417 bp的目标片段。采用该特异性引物检测2021年陕西渭南、咸阳和宝鸡地区小麦条锈菌CYR34的流行频率分别为8.6%、6.0%和10.8%。该项研究为小麦条锈菌CYR34号生理小种的快速检测提供了技术支撑。     

Wildlife Trade and the Emergence of Infectious Diseases

Most recent emerging infectious diseases have been zoonotic in origin. It is our contention that one of the factors responsible for such emergence is the trade in wildlife and bushmeat in particular. This article considers the effect of increasing diversity in the species hunted on the probability of global epidemics such as SARS. In particular, we develop a mathematical model of the probability of such an outbreak in terms of the number of species hunted, the number of susceptibles, and the rate of contact. Hence, we postulate that local biodiversity loss and increasing rates of animal trafficking, and trade and transportation of animals to large cities—where there is a greater potential for person-to-person transmission—may increase the probability of such outbreaks dramatically.     

Cholera Seasonality in Madras (1901–1940): Dual Role for Rainfall in Endemic and Epidemic Regions

The seasonality of cholera and its spatial variability remain unexplained. Uncovering the role of environmental drivers in these seasonal patterns is critical to understand temporal variability at longer time scales, including trends and interannual variability. Rainfall has been proposed as a key driver of the seasonality of cholera. To address this hypothesis, we examine the association between rainfall and cholera in both time and space using the extensive historical records for the districts of Madras in former British India (1901–1940). We show the existence of two main spatial clusters that differ not just in the effect of rainfall but also in the seasonal pattern and frequency of periods with and without cholera mortality. The results support a model of cholera seasonality with two different routes of transmission: one is enhanced by increasing rainfall (in areas with abundant water), the other is buffered by increasing water. We discuss how the dual nature of the influence of rainfall creates different temporal patterns in regions where cholera is either “endemic” or “epidemic.”     

2014年全球新药研发报告——第二部分：趋势和挑战（Ⅳ）

2014 年制药和生物技术行业继续保持着高活力。截至2014 年12 月23 日,全球共有55 个新的化学药物和生物制品首次进入市场, 另有29 个重要的延伸性新药获批,还有19 个药物首次获批,但尚未来得及上市。此外,在传统的年底冲刺期间,一些国家的监管机构在 年底最后一刻还批准了其他一些药物,因此,这些获批药物未能被收录在内,所以2014 年实际获批的新药数量应该大于前面提到的数字。 除了新药的成功开发、注册和上市外,还有其他一些可反映整个行业现状和发展趋势的风向标,例如,监管机构采取新措施以刺激难治性 疾病药物的开发、制药公司定期并务实地对其研发项目进行甄选以及通过并购整合研发管线、投资项目和销售队伍。     

Optimal treatment of an SIR epidemic model with time delay

In this paper the optimal control strategies of an SIR (susceptible–infected–recovered) epidemic model with time delay are introduced. In order to do this, we consider an optimally controlled SIR epidemic model with time delay where a control means treatment for infectious hosts. We use optimal control approach to minimize the probability that the infected individuals spread and to maximize the total number of susceptible and recovered individuals. We first derive the basic reproduction number and investigate the dynamical behavior of the controlled SIR epidemic model. We also show the existence of an optimal control for the control system and present numerical simulations on real data regarding the course of Ebola virus in Congo. Our results indicate that a small contact rate(probability of infection) is suitable for eradication of the disease (Ebola virus) and this is one way of optimal treatment strategies for infectious hosts.     

表面表达猪流行性腹泻病毒核蛋白蛋白的重组干酪乳杆菌诱导产生的免疫应答

为探讨表达猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)核蛋白(N)基因的重组干酪乳杆菌口服免疫小鼠后诱导特异性免疫应答,本研究制备表达流行性腹泻病毒核蛋白的重组干酪乳杆菌,应用Western blotting、间接免疫荧光和全细胞ELISA鉴定目的蛋白的表达。然后用该重组干酪乳杆菌口服免疫BALB/c小鼠,分别测定了免疫后不同时间血清中特异性IgG、粪便中特异性的sIgA水平以及血清的中和活性;并测定免疫小鼠脾淋巴细胞增殖情况和细胞因子水平。结果显示,目的蛋白表达在细胞表面,可被阳性血清所识别。免疫小鼠后,可分别在血清中和粪便中检测到较高水平特异性IgG、sIgA(P<0.01),但血清并没有中和活性;淋巴细胞增殖试验和细胞因子测定结果显示,免疫组可产生明显的细胞免疫应答。结果表明,该重组干酪乳杆菌表达系统可诱导小鼠产生黏膜免疫应答和系统免疫应答,具有作为口服疫苗潜在的应用价值。
