海南山蛭对土壤湿度和气温的适应

在室内以土壤湿度梯度作为海南山蛭Haemadipsa hainana的栖息试验表明,海南山蛭栖息于含水量的15.1％－16.77％水分的土壤表面;野外调查表明,海南岛橡胶林内海南山蛭栖息于16.54％－17.66％含水量的土壤表面;热带雨林者栖息于19.92%-25.73%含水量的土壤,室内实验表明,海南山蛭爬向30－35℃温度范围,占试验蛭数79.15％,在8－9℃不活动,10℃能山蛭活动,随温度升高活动蛭数增加,而15℃试验蛭答部活动,活动蛭数与温度关系为Y－18.6Z-172.3,R-0.976,P=0.01。在橡胶林内8－9℃山蛭不活动;10℃开始有山蛭活动,且随温度升高活动蛭数增加,当17℃时所有山蛭活动,活动蛭数与温度关系Y＝4.73X-3.97,R=0.93,P=0.1。首次使用土壤湿度梯度测定山蛭对土壤湿度的要求,这是一个新的有普遍意义的方法,并讨论了海南山蛭对土壤湿度气温的适应。     

不同农药对海南山蛭毒力测定及其防治研究

在室内,利用速灭杀丁,叶蝉散,杀虫双,乐果,三氯杀螨,草甘膦等6种农药对海南山蛭（Haemadipsa hainane)进行毒力测定,比较各种农药LK50表明,速灭杀丁＞叶蝉散＞三氯杀螨醇＞杀虫双＞乐果,除草剂草苷膦对海南山蛭完全无毒杀作用,草甘膦＋速灭杀丁对海南山蛭仍有很强的毒杀作用,海南山蛭对速灭杀丁的敏感性为,成体＞幼体＞亚成体,在田间小区试验表明,1．5％速灭杀丁防治效果为95．08％,大面积应用表明“草苷膦药液＋0．5％速灭杀丁”防治效果最好,达94．74％,“草甘膦药液＋1％叶蝉散乳油”防治效果次之,达90．5％,草甘膦＋灭蛭农药是防治山蛭好药剂,达到灭蛭除草的目的。

山蛭基因组DNA的提取及其PCR扩增产物的分析

利用PCR技术从海南山蛭体内分离山蛭素（抗凝血蛋白）基因,首先需获得不带有山蛭体表色素且完整的山蛭基因组DNA,本试验通过结合使用SDS-蛋白酶裂解法和CTAB法,有效的去除了山蛭基因组DNA提取过程中难以去除的色素,得到的基因组DNA保持完整,无降解,以之作为模板,进行PCR扩增,获得一个长度约为237bp的特异性片段,此片段与印度山蛭蛭素的cDNA大小几乎一致。初步表明,这个序列没有内含子,而仅是海南山蛭蛭素的编码序列。     

洞穴吸血陆蛭一新种在中国云南省西陲的发现

记述了在中国云南省西陲德宏自治州潞两市一个洞穴深处岩壁上发现的以蝙蝠血为食物的陆生蛭类.由于标本的头部有5对眼,完全体节各有5环,体背各环有发达的乳突和背感器,尾吸盘巨大且腹面有辐射肋,因此属于山蜂属Haemadipsa Tennent,1859.又因为头部第5对眼点很小,甚至缺少;体背缺少色素和背部条纹;两牛殖孔仪被2环隔开;末环背中有1非常大的半网球形突起,肛门开口其顶部的横沟上.因此与山蛭属中已知其它种均不相同,故为1新种,定名为洲穴山蛭Haemadipsa cavatuses sp.nov..正模和12个副模标本保仔于中国科学院水生生物研究所.这是世界上首次对洞穴陆蛭的记载.     

The complete amino acid sequences of four globins from the land leech Haemadipsa zeylanica var. japonica

The amino acid sequences of four globins from the land leech, Haemadipsa zeylanica var. japonica, were determined using nucleotide sequencing and protein sequencing. The mature globin-molecules were composed of 146 amino acid residues for M-1 globin, 156 for M-2 globin, 143 for D-1 globin, and 149 for D-2 globin. Alignment of the four kinds of globins by Clustal X revealed 22 invariant amino acids. The four globins were 26–33% identical. A striking feature of amino acid alteration was: the replacement of the E7 distal-His of D-1 globin by phenylalanine because histidine is conserved among the rest of the globins of H. zeylanica, those of other representative species (Lumbricus and Tylorrhynchus) of Annelida and most other hemoglobins. A phylogenetic tree constructed of 18 globin structures including two species of leeches, H. zeylanica (a land leech) and Macrobdella decora (a freshwater leech), T. heterochaetus (a representative species of polychaetes), L. terrestris (a representative species of oligochaetes), and human α and β globins strongly indicated that the leech globins first separated from globin lineage of annelids.     

Bloodlines: mammals,leeches, and conservation in southern Asia

Southern Asia is a biodiversity hotspot both for terrestrial mammals and for leeches. Many small-mammal groups are under-studied in this region, while other mammals are of known conservation concern. In addition to standard methods for surveying mammals, it has recently been demonstrated that residual bloodmeals within leeches can be sequenced to find mammals in a given area. While these invertebrate-parasite-derived DNA (iDNA) methods are promising, most of the leech species utilized for this type of survey remain unevaluated, notwithstanding that their diversity varies substantially. Here we examine approximately 750 individual leech specimens in the genus Haemadipsa across a large range in southern Asia (Bangladesh, Cambodia, and China), specifically reviewing the diversity of mammals they feed on and their own genetic structuring. Leeches were found to feed on a considerable variety of mammals, corroborating prior studies. Additionally, leeches were found to have fed both on bats and on birds, neither of which has previously been recorded with this method. The genetic structuring of the leeches themselves revealed 15 distinct clades of which only two precisely corresponded to previously characterized species, indicating that much work is needed to finalize classifications in this genus. Most importantly, with regards to mammal conservation, leeches in these clades appear to feed on a broad range of mammals.     

Molecular Identification of Haemadipsa rjukjuana (Hirudiniformes: Haemadipsidae) in Gageo Island,Korea

There are 60 species of blood-feeding land leeches, 50 species belonging to the family Haemadipsidae and 10 species belonging to the family Xerobdellidae. Despite recent papers on the land leeches, their taxonomic identification is not fully understood, especially at a species level. In Korea, there have been no historical records of the terrestrial leeches, but recently an unrecorded blood-feeding land leech was discovered at Gageo-do (Island), Korea. Molecular analysis was used to identify the species of 29 leeches collected from Mt. Dock-Sil in Gageo-do. Conventional PCR was conducted using nuclear 18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) genetic marker. The 18S rRNA sequences revealed that the leeches share 99.9% identity with Haemadipsa rjukjuana (inhabiting Taiwan), and the CO1 sequences revealed that the leeches are very close to H. rjukjuana (inhabiting Taiwan). The CO1 sequences were separated into 2 categories, 1 with 94.6% and the other with 94.3% similarity to the H. rjukjuana L00115A (inhabiting Taiwan). This new finding of the land leech is the first record in Korea. In addition, the north range of the distribution of the blood-feeding leech (Hirudiniformes: Haemadipisidae) should be reconsidered including Korea.
