The aim of this study was to develop an immunological method for the identification of sheep infected with Echinococcus granulosus which would allow the monitoring of animals imported into countries free from hydatidosis and as an aid to countries where control schemes for the disease are in operation. Three enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed and validated, using as antigen either a purified 8 kDa hydatid cyst fluid protein (8kDaELISA), a recombinant EG95 oncosphere protein (OncELISA) or a crude protoscolex preparation (ProtELISA). Sera used for the assay validations were obtained from 249 sheep infected either naturally or experimentally with E. granulosus and from 1012 non-infected sheep. The highest diagnostic sensitivity was obtained using the ProtELISA at 62.7 and 51.4%, depending on the cut-off. Assay sensitivities were lower for the 8kDaELISA and the OncELISA. Diagnostic specificities were high, ranging from 95.8 to 99.5%, depending on the ELISA type and cut-off level chosen. A few sera from 39 sheep infected with T. hydatigena and from 19 sheep infected with T. ovis were recorded as positive. Western immunoblot analysis revealed that the dominant antigenic components in the crude protoscolex antigen preparation were macromolecules of about 70-150 kDa, most likely representing polysaccharides. This study demonstrated that the ProtELISA was the most effective immunological method of those assessed for detection of infection with E. granulosus in sheep. Because of its limited diagnostic sensitivity of about 50-60%, it should be useful for the detection of the presence of infected sheep on a flock basis and cannot be used for reliable identification of individual animals infected with E. granulosus. 相似文献

Host immune responses conducted against antigens of Eimeria bovis are key factors for the development of protective immunity against this protozoan disease. In this study we investigated
the expression of E. bovis-derived antigens on the host cell surface membrane during E. bovis first merogony in vitro. Host cells carrying E. bovis-meront I stages expressed E. bovis host cell surface antigens (EbHCSAg) on their surface membrane which were recognised by hyperimmune sera of calves and by
sera from rats immunized with E. bovis merozoites I, when tested by indirect immune fluorescent antibody test (IIFAT), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM)
and immune electron microscopy. Expression of EbHCSAg on permissive host cells was earliest detected 7 days p. i., thus coinciding
with the onset of the parasite replication. Membrane-associated EbHCSAg were removed from infected host cells by proteinase
K, partially by Triton X-100, Triton X-114 and Triton X-405, but not by 1 M NaCl, CHAPS or phospholipase C treatment. Antibodies,
affinity-purified on paraformaldehyde/glutardialdehyde (PAGA)-fixed E. bovis meront I-infected bovine host cells bound to the surface meront I-carrying cells and to merozoites I (IIFAT, LSCM) but, in
contrast to untreated sera, not to sporozoites. When tested on methanol-fixed merozoites I and sporozoites by IIFAT, affinity-purified
antibodies bound to structures in the apical complex area of merozoites I, but not to sporozoites, whilst untreated sera caused
diffuse labelling of internal structures of both parasite stages. Immune electron microscopy demonstrated binding of affinity-purified
antibodies to micronemes and dense granules of merozoites I. Although the function of EbHCSAg is still unknown, results of
this study might suggest an involvement in the development of protective immunity against E. bovis infections. 相似文献

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) is a toxic waste which is mainly rich in iron oxide, zinc, and lead. Hydrometallurgical extraction of zinc from Jordanian EAFD in alkaline medium was investigated; NaOH, NaHCO3, and Na2CO3 were used as leaching agents. The pH values for the prepared solutions were 8.3, 8.2, and 12.55 for NaHCO3, Na2CO3, and NaOH, respectively. The effect of NaOH concentration (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 M), contact time (5 min to 3 h), temperature (20, 40, and 60), and solid-to-liquid ratio (SLR; 20, 40, 80, and 120 mg/ml) on the leachability of zinc from EAFD were tested. The initial EAFD and the resulting leach residues were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). EAFD contained 25.9% Zn, 18.0% Fe, and 3.2% Pb. A maximum zinc recovery of 92.9% was achieved using 6 M NaOH at 60 °C with solid loading of 20 g/L and 3 h leaching time. NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 were not efficient leaching agents for Zn extraction since the recoveries were only 2.6 and 4.5%, respectively. Zn and Pb were depleted in the residues with an E-factor of 0.5–0.6 and 0.1–0.25, respectively. Iron was enriched in the residues; the E-factor was around 2. The EAFD contained mainly zincite, franklinite, and magnetite. After 3 h leaching, only traces of zincite exist in the residues, while sylvite and halite were completely dissolved. 相似文献

Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) is an important Tobamovirus that causes significant crop losses. Resistance to the ToMV is conferred by the genes Tm1, Tm2 and Tm2a. Among these three genes, Tm2a confers resistance to most strains of the ToMV. Screening of genetic lines under field conditions based on phenotype is time‐consuming and challenging due to concerns associated with stability of the virus and its potential transmission to other plants. Tightly linked molecular markers associated with resistance genes can improve selection efficiency and avoid these problems. This study developed a PCR‐based marker based on restriction site differences from Tm2a locus‐specific sequences, which was found to be useful in identifying the resistant and susceptible genotypes and was consistent with phenotypic data. The marker is a codominant cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker producing 270‐ and 600‐bp DNA fragments from resistant genotypes and an 870‐bp fragment from susceptible genotypes when digested with HaeIII restriction enzyme. This novel marker can be useful for tomato breeders to screen progeny from segregating populations for ToMV resistance. 相似文献

Cyanobacterial blooms exert negative impacts on fisheries and water management authorities. Recently, it has gained global attention, as elevated earth warming and environmental pollution are accelerating algal growth. Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus) is a worldwide and the most commonly cultured fish in Egypt. The biological interaction of the living organisms to the surrounding environment must continuously be assessed to predict future effects of the ongoing hazards on fish. The study was designed to examine the possible biological and biochemical response of O. niloticus exposed to different concentrations of microcystins crude extract (containing microcystin-LR). Three equal groups of O. niloticus were assigned for intraperitoneal injection of three different doses: 100, 200, and 400 μg m?1 dried aqueous microcystins extract, for 10 days. Clinical, condition factor (K) and hepatosomatic index (HIS) were estimated. Biochemical alterations were evaluated via lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation assay and electrophoretic analysis of fragmented DNA using agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that there were discernible behavioral and clinical alterations. Significant differences in K and HIS were observed between treatments. Also, significant elevations were observed in lipid peroxidation level and in the DNA fragmentation percentage in the exposed fish to the doses of 200 and 400 μg m?1 of microcystins crude extract. The current study addresses the possible toxic effects of microcystins crude extract to O. niloticus. The results cleared that microcystins crude extract (containing MC-LR) is toxic to O. niloticus in time- and dose-dependent manners. 相似文献

The impact of the density of Sunn Pest egg parasitoids, Trissolcus
grandis Thomson (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), at three levels of Sunn Pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), infestation was assessed on bread wheat variety Cham 6 in screened cages in the field for
percentage of egg parasitism and grain quality. Percent parasitism ranged from 60.1 to 83.9%. No statistically significant
differences were detected at parasitoid densities of 1, 2, or 3 insects per square meter at Sunn Pest densities of 2 or 4 insects
per square meter. The quality of grain collected from all Sunn Pest infested cages without egg parasitoids was unacceptable
for baking purposes and was significantly lower than grain from both non-infested plots and plots where either two or three
egg parasitoids were present. The abundance of egg parasitoids in Al Hassakeh province in Syria was also determined. Egg parasitism
was observed 1 week after the initiation of Sunn Pest oviposition and ranged between 22 and 59% in non-insecticide treated
fields, while no parasitoids were recovered from insecticide treated areas within the same region. The impact of feeding by
Sunn Pest on different wheat stages indicated that only feeding prior to the spike stage does not affect the bread-making
quality of the grain. 相似文献
