Brucella abortus, a gram negative, facultative intracellular pathogen causes brucellosis in many animal species and humans. Although live,
attenuated vaccines are available against this infection, they suffer from certain limitations. Therefore, the development
of an effective subunit vaccine against brucellosis is an area of intense research. The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of
Brucella species have been extensively studied for its immunogenicity and protective ability. We have investigated the potential of
CpG ODN to enhance the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of recombinant 28 kDa outer membrane protein (rOMP28) of Brucella melitensis. The study demonstrated vigorous immunoglobulin G (IgG) response of OMP28. The administration of rOMP28 with CpG caused increased
cell mediated immune response in terms of induced IgG2a, T-cell proliferation and up-regulation of type I cytokine expression.
In contrast, the free antigen suppressed the interferon gamma (type I cytokine) production on in-vitro stimulation of spleenocytes.
The result indicates the role of OMP28 in the down regulation of IFN-γ production. Moreover, the B. abortus S-19 vaccinated mice showed highest production of IL-4 and IFN-γ. The protective ability of the antigen was evaluated by
systemic bacterial clearance after challenging the mouse with B. abortus 544 pathogen. The level of protection was significant in rOMP28+CpG treated mice but was lower than the required level. The
results of the present study indicate that rOMP28 could be an immunogen capable of inducing both humoral and cellular immune
response. The humoral response was biased towards Th1 type when it was co-administered with CpG. 相似文献

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is a major disease of jojoba, causing serious economic losses. This study was aimed at characterizing the Fusarium populations associated with jojoba in Israel. Fifty Fusarium isolates used in this study included 23 isolates from the 1990s (“past”) and 27 recently isolated (“recent”). All the isolates were characterized by arbitrarily primed (ap)-PCR and 16 representatives were additionally delineated using multilocus (tef1, rpb1, rpb2) phylogeny and evaluated for their pathogenic potential. Consequently, 88% of the isolates were identified and characterized to the F. oxysporum species complex. The remaining 12% grouped within the F. fujikuroi, F. solani, and F. redolens species complexes. Variations in the infection rate (16.7%–100%), disease symptoms (0.08–1.25, on a scale of 0–3), and fungal colonization index (0.67–2.17, on a scale of 0–4) were observed within the tested isolates, with no significant differences between the past and recent isolates. The representative isolates were assigned to 11 groups based on ap-PCR. Pathogenicity tests showed that isolates from Groups II, IV, and V were the most aggressive, whereas isolates from Groups III, VIII, and IX were the least aggressive. Among the tested isolates, F. oxysporum sensu lato was the most aggressive, followed by F. proliferatum, while F. nygamai was the least aggressive. This study demonstrates the complexity and genetic diversity of Fusarium wilt on jojoba in Israel, indicating possible multiple introductions of infected germplasm into the country. 相似文献

To evaluate the magnitude of copper deficiency in Northern India and to examine the various haematobiochemicals, enzymes,
vitamins and immune functions affected by copper deficiency, and to identify the parameters which can be of diagnostic importance
in copper deficiency, a survey was conducted in 12 districts of Northern India. Significant deficiency of copper was observed
in soil, fodder and serum samples of buffalo heifers. Fifty hypocuperaemic buffalo heifers were selected from these areas
and were randomly divided into two groups, A and B. The heifers in group A were provided with mineral mixture containing copper
sulphate and in group B without copper sulphate. Significant (p < 0.01) improvement in serum ceruloplasmin level was observed within 30 days of treatment, while significant (p < 0.01) improvement in monoamine oxidase and liver cytochrome oxidase was observed at the 60th day of treatment in group
A animals. Significant improvement was observed in T3 and T4, in the animals of group A within 60 days of treatment. The values of vitamin A and E showed significant (p < 0.01) improvement within 30 days of treatment. The phagocytic activity of neutrophils against Candida albicans significantly (p < 0.01) improved in group A within 60 days of treatment. Similarly, significant improvement in superoxide dismutase activity
in red blood cells was observed at the 30th day, and in total leukocytes and whole blood at the 60th day in group A animals.
Significant improvement in liver copper level was observed at the 30th day of treatment, while in group B the liver copper
was significantly (p < 0.01) depleted at the 60th day of experimentation. Additional copper supplementation improved growth performance significantly
in group A. 相似文献

Cryptosporidium infection may have adverse effect in health and production potential of cattle herd. The exact profile of Cryptosporidium infection in bovine population of India in general, particularly from Kolkata is scarce. We here report systematic investigation of clinical and genetic profiling of promiscuous Cryptosporidium infection in selected representative cattle farms from Kolkata as well as some surrounding local areas. The current study was conducted in the period of October to September, 2000–2001 with 149 diarrhoeic and non-diarrhoeic cattle of different age groups from two Government cattle farms, Harringhata Cattle Unit and Kalyani State Livestock Farm and animals raised by local farmers. Among these 149 samples, diarrhoea was recorded in 79 cases (53%) and non-diarrhoeic in 70 (46.9%). Out of 149 faecal samples screened microscopically, 32.9% from diarrhoeic faecal samples and 7.1% from healthy faecal samples revealed the presence of oocysts. Cryptosporidium genus was confirmed by DNA typing with nested PCR. The PCR-RFLP analysis was carried out for genotype identification. In course of PCR-RFLP, unique band patterns were obtained in two of our samples. The unusual RFLP products were characterized by DNA sequencing and homology analysis with other reported variants. This is the first report of identification and characterization of such a variant from the area of present investigation. Further study will be required to understand the phylogenetic origin and functional significance in virulence and morbidity of this genotype. 相似文献

The present study investigates the success of stocking fingerlings of Indian major carps ‐Gibelion catla (Hamilton), Labeo rohita Hamilton and Cirrhinus mrigala Hamilton – to enhance fish yield in 58 small reservoirs in Odisha State, India. Fish stocking and yield data were collected from State Fisheries Department, Odisha. The relationships between area, stocking density and fish yield of different size groups of reservoirs were assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient (r). Fish yield increased significantly (p < 0.05, t‐test) from 204 kg/ha/year in 2012–13 to 323 kg/ha/year in 2013–14 due to adoption of CBF. The corresponding per capita fish production increased from 398 kg fisher?1 year?1 to 702 kg fisher?1 year?1 benefitting more than 8,000 fisher households. Reservoirs in the size group 100–500 ha showed the highest response of fish yield with respect to stocking of fingerlings. The size of fingerlings at stocking and area of the reservoir had greater impact on enhancing fish yield. Stocking had a profound positive impact on fish yield. This study forms a baseline evaluation of the impact of stocking on small tropical reservoirs in India. It also recommends management measures and discusses issues, and the way forward for sustainable fisheries enhancement in small tropical reservoirs in eastern India. 相似文献
