Background: The Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) is the most frequently encountered wild cat in most of Southeast Asia. Limited hematologic investigation exists for this species. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess routine hematologic measurements and parameters and characterize the morphology, cytochemical staining, and ultrastructural features of blood cells in Leopard Cats. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 12 adult healthy captive Leopard Cats (7 males and 5 females). Complete blood counts were performed using an automated hematology analyzer and manual differential counts. Cytochemical staining (Sudan black B [SBB], peroxidase [PO], periodic acid‐Schiff [PAS], α‐naphthyl acetate esterase [ANAE], and β‐glucuronidase [BG]) and scanning and transmission electron microscopy were performed using standard methods. Results: Median (range) hematologic results were as follows: PCV 0.46 L/L (0.30–0.55 L/L), hemoglobin 136.5 g/L (100–183 g/L), WBC 9.0 × 109/L (6.9–15.2 × 109/L), band neutrophils 0.07 × 109/L (0–0.30 × 109/L), segmented neutrophils 2.9 × 109/L (1.2–6.34 × 109/L), lymphocytes 5.3 × 109/L (2.7–8.1 × 109/L), eosinophils 0.14 × 109/L (0–0.73 × 109/L), basophils 0/L (0–0.22 × 109/L), and monocytes 0.08 × 109/L (0–0.30 × 109/L). Neutrophils stained strongly positive for SBB, PO, and PAS; lymphocytes had fine granular positivity for ANAE and BG; monocytes were weakly positive for ANAE and BG; and basophils were strongly positive for BG. Ultrastructurally, eosinophils contained many large rod‐shaped granules with prominent crystalloid core structures, ribosomes, and mitochondria. Basophils contained many round to oval specific granules with homogeneous contents. Low number of basophils contained a few small vacuoles that usually were not detected by light microscopy. Conclusion: These findings will facilitate interpretation of hematologic results for future investigative and diagnostic studies of this species. 相似文献

Marine-derived fungi constitute an interesting source of bioactive compounds, several of which exhibit antibacterial activity. These acquire special importance, considering that antimicrobial resistance is becoming more widespread. The overexpression of efflux pumps, capable of expelling antimicrobials out of bacterial cells, is one of the most worrisome mechanisms. There has been an ongoing effort to find not only new antimicrobials, but also compounds that can block resistance mechanisms which can be used in combination with approved antimicrobial drugs. In this work, a library of nineteen marine natural products, isolated from marine-derived fungi of the genera Neosartorya and Aspergillus, was evaluated for their potential as bacterial efflux pump inhibitors as well as the antimicrobial-related mechanisms, such as inhibition of biofilm formation and quorum-sensing. Docking studies were performed to predict their efflux pump action. These compounds were also tested for their cytotoxicity in mouse fibroblast cell line NIH/3T3. The results obtained suggest that the marine-derived fungal metabolites are a promising source of compounds with potential to revert antimicrobial resistance and serve as an inspiration for the synthesis of new antimicrobial drugs. 相似文献

We investigated the prevalence of Bartonella species in 10 rodent and one shrew species in Thailand. From February 2008 to May 2010, a total of 375 small animals were captured in 9 provinces in Thailand. Bartonella strains were isolated from 57 rodents (54 from Rattus species and 3 from Bandicota indica) and one shrew (Suncus murinus) in 7 of the 9 provinces, and identified to the species level. Sequence analysis of the citrate synthase and RNA polymerase β subunit genes identified the 58 isolates from each Bartonella-positive animal as B. tribocorum in 27 (46.6%) animals, B. rattimassiliensis in 17 (29.3%) animals, B. elizabethae in 10 (17.2%) animals and B. queenslandensis in 4 (6.9%) animals. R. norvegicus, R. rattus, and Suncus murinus carried B. elizabethae, which causes endocarditis in humans. The prevalence of Bartonella bacteremic animals by province was 42.9% of the animals collected in Phang Nga, 26.8% in Chiang Rai, 20.4% in Sa Kaeo, 16.7% in Nakhon Si Thammarat, 12.0% in Surat Thani, 9.1% in Mae Hong Son and Loei Provinces. 相似文献

Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated from shrimp of five farms located in the Pattani and Songkhla provinces of southern Thailand. Using a PCR method targeted to the unique DNA sequences derived from the plasmid (AP2 primers) and the toxin gene (AP3 primers) of V. parahaemolyticus that caused acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), a total of 33 of 108 isolates were positive. In contrast, all 63 and 66 isolates of clinical and environmental V. parahaemolyticus, respectively, obtained previously from 2008 to 2014 from the same area were negative. This implied that these strains were likely to be the cause of the outbreak of AHPND in this area. Intestinal samples proved to be a better source for the isolation of V. parahaemolyticus AHPND than the hepatopancreas. All isolates were investigated for haemolytic activity, virulence genes, serotypes, genotypes and antibiotic susceptibility. All the AHPND isolates had a unique O antigen, but small variations of the K antigens were detected from different farms. In addition, the DNA profiles of V. parahaemolyticus AHPND isolates were similar, but distinct from those clinical and environmental isolates. It is postulated that the causative agent of AHPND might have originated from one clone and then slightly different serotypes subsequently developed. 相似文献

Dry evergreen forest (DEF) and dry deciduous dipterocarp forest (DDF) are major forest types extensively distributed in northeastern
Thailand, exhibiting different nutrient cycling properties. This study aims to improve our understanding on the pattern of
mass loss and nitrogen release from two categories of roots (fine, <2 mm and small, 2–5 mm) of Hopea ferrea at DEF and fine roots of mixed trees and dwarf bamboo (Arundinaria pusilla) at DDF sites. Decomposition experiment was performed for more than 12 months using buried litter bag technique. Initial
chemistry was significantly different among the four root litters; fine root of H. ferrea exhibited a low ratios of C:N and acid-insoluble:N. The fine root of dwarf bamboo was characterized by high contents of total
carbohydrate and ash. Decomposition rate constants (year−1) of ash-free weight remaining were 1.27 and 0.55 for fine and small roots of H. ferrea, and 0.73 and 0.66 for fine root of mixed trees and dwarf bamboo, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the N concentration
in fine and small roots of H. ferrea increased to 1.5 times the initial concentration. Whereas, N mass of dwarf bamboo decreased during the experiment. This suggests
a different pattern of root decomposition and N release in two forest ecosystems. Generally, the fine root decomposition was
faster in the DEF than in the DDF. The role of initial litter chemistry was more pronounced than the climatic seasonality
on the belowground decomposition pattern in our study. 相似文献

Marine invertebrates respond to fluctuations in their environment throughout development and growth. Homeostatic adaptation is mediated in part through the regulation of Na+‐K+ ATPase enzymes and members of this class of enzymes are localized to the antennal gland of many crustaceans. In this study, we investigated the morphological and biochemical changes of the antennal glands in eight families of cross‐breed post‐larval shrimp subjected to hypotonic (10 ppt) and isotonic (20 ppt) conditions. The greatest changes in the antennal glands were detected in the hypotonic condition with families two and five cross‐breed shrimp exhibiting the highest tolerance to this diluted salinity. The changes detected in hypotonic tolerant shrimp included enlargement of coelomosac and labyrinth spaces, the presence of many dense cytoplasmic globules in podocytes as well as highly wavy apical architecture of labyrinth cells. Several alterations were also observed at the subcellular level such as widening of the intercellular spaces between podocytes, organelle destruction, and decreased basal membrane in‐folding in labyrinth cells. In addition, shrimp exposed to hypotonic conditions displayed decreased expression of both α and β subunits of Na+‐K+ ATPase and decreased enzymatic activity. The changes observed in animals upon exposure to hypotonic stress are discussed. 相似文献

Vibrio alginolyticus is one of the most serious causative agents of diseases in cultured marine fish and shellfish. However, the characteristics of virulence factors in pathogenic V. alginolyticus are poorly known. To gain insight into fish diseases caused by V. alginolyticus, we carried out two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to identify uniquely expressed proteins in the disease-causing V. alginolyticus. V. alginolyticus strains were isolated from marine environments and diseased fish obtained from southern Thailand. We identified seven unique proteins in the disease-causing V. alginolyticus strain. Among those, the outer membrane protein A (OmpA) had the strongest expression. Therefore, the function of this protein was further analysed. To investigate the role of OmpA protein, an in-frame deletion mutant of ompA was constructed using the homologous recombination method. Although the ompA mutant V. alginolyticus strain (ΔompA) grew normally, the mutant exhibited a significant defect in the swarming ability and the biofilm formation. Furthermore, Galleria mellonella larvae injected with the mutant bacteria had a significantly greater survival percentage than those injected with the wild-type strain, demonstrating that OmpA protein is required for the pathogenicity of V. alginolyticus. Together, this study suggests a potential target for vaccine development against pathogenic V. alginolyticus strain. 相似文献
