In this study, we developed two immunochromatographic tests (ICTs), which are nitrocellulose membrane-based immunoassays for the convenient and rapid serodiagnosis of bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia bovis (BoICT) and Babesia bigemina (BiICT). The efficacy of two ICTs was evaluated using 13 positive sera from experimentally infected cattle with B. bovis or B. bigemina. Clear results showed that the BoICT and ELISA detected antibodies in sera collected from 14 to 93 days post-infection, while BiICT and ELISA detected from 13 to 274 days post-infection. In additon, non-infected cattle, Neospora caninum, and Cryptosporidium parvum were negative in two ICTs. To evaluate the field utility of the ICTs, we tested 186 field bovine sera collected from cattle living in Yanbian (China) and Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil). The results of ICTs were compared to those of classical serodiagnostic methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFAT). The overall concordances of BoICT were determined as 92.5 and 90.3% when the results of ELISA and IFAT were set as the reference standards, respectively. In contrast, those of BiICT showed 96.8 and 92.5% relative to the results of standard ELISA and IFAT, respectively. Conventional and rapid diagnosic devices for bovine babesiosis may provide a valuable tool in clinical and field applications. 相似文献

Limited access to aquatic populations hinders estimation of their status and establishment of effective management measures. We propose a modified surplus production model to cope with this problem. The model provides population parameters and biological reference points from a time series of annual accessible abundance data. Simulation tests showed that the model provided biological reference point estimates with little bias when sufficiently long time series were available. Even for short time series, we could obtain nearly unbiased estimates by providing information on the exploitation rate at the maximum sustainable yield (F MSY). As an application, we fit the modified surplus production model to 7-year accessible biomass estimates of a local population of Japanese spiky sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus using a Bayesian approach. The results indicated that the stock in the area studied was likely to have experienced recent overfishing and had a high probability of being overfished in the future. 相似文献

Groundwater pollution by nitrate from agricultural fields is a worldwide problem. To improve the understanding of nitrate transport processes through volcanic ash soils overlying groundwater aquifers, salt sorption experiments were performed. Salt sorption is the process that involves the simultaneous use of cation and anion adsorption mechanisms without changing the pH. Prepared six different concentrations of potassium chloride (KCl) solutions were mixed with soil samples. Anion and cation contents of the liquid and solid phases were determined. Experiments were performed in triplicate of six kinds of KCl solutions for three types of soils. Thus, total 54 of samples were analyzed. Relationships between ionic strength and sorption capacity increments of cations and anions were determined. The results show that if ionic strength of the infiltrating solution to the volcanic ash soil is known, the ECEC (effective cation exchange capacity) and EAEC (effective anion exchange capacity) can be reliably estimated. The resulting prediction equations can be included to improve reactive transport simulation models. Consequently, it will be possible to better understand solute transport with changing sorption capacity for the solid soil phase. 相似文献

Instantaneous neutralization of Fe (III) chloride dissolved in N a citrate by powdery NaHC03 gave stable clear brown sols. The sol particles separated by dialysis and freeze-drying showed a single diffraction peak at 2 nm and a citrate/Fe molar ratio of about 0.2 irrespective of the composition of the starting solutions. This indicates that the product may be a novel phase of Fe (III) citrate. 相似文献

We examined the effects of leaf age and mutual shading on the morphology, photosynthetic properties and nitrogen (N) allocation of foliage of an evergreen understory shrub, Daphniphyllum humile Maxim, growing along a natural light gradient in a deciduous Fagus crenata-dominated forest in Japan. Seedlings in high-light environments were subject to greater mutual shading and 1-year-old foliage survival was lower than in seedlings in low-light environments, indicating that the survival rates of foliage were related to the degree of mutual shading. Although specific leaf area (SLA) in current- and 1-year-old foliage was curvilinearly related to daily photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), SLA was unaffected by leaf age, indicating that foliage in D. humile may not acclimate morphologically to annual changes in light caused by mutual shading. Light-saturated net photosynthetic rates (Pmax) were correlated with daily PPF in current-year foliage. In addition, a strong, positive relationship was found between nitrogen concentration per unit leaf area and Pmax. In contrast, the relationship among PPF, N and photosynthetic parameters in 1-year old foliage was weak because of the strong remobilization of N from older leaves to current-year foliage in plants growing in high light. However, the relationship between daily PPF and both photosynthetic N-use efficiency and the ratio of maximum electron transport rate to maximum carboxylation rate did not differ between current-year and 1-year-old foliage, suggesting that these responses help maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency even in older foliage. We conclude that D. humile maximizes whole-plant carbon gain by maintaining a balance among photosynthetic functions across wide ranges of leaf ages and light environments. 相似文献
