Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is highly prevalent in hospitals many Asian countries. Recent emergence of community-associated (CA) MRSA worldwide has added another serious concern to the epidemiology S. infections. To understand changing infections countries, we performed a prospective, multinational surveillance study with molecular typing analysis.We evaluated prevalence methicillin resistance isolates CA and healthcare-associated (HA) infections, characterization...
Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is receiving increasing attention as a feed additive in animal production. COS has variety of biological functions, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Mastitis major disease dairy cows that significant impact on welfare Hence, this research aimed to investigate the mechanism lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammatory response oxidative stress bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). In study, results demonstrated protected BMECs from...
Globally, forest decline and tree mortality are rising due to climate change. As one of the important afforestation trees in northeast China, Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is suffering from accompanying pests. Certain fungi ophiostomatalean contribute pest outbreaks can be pathogenic pine trees. However, only a limited number associated with beetles infesting have been identified. In this study, 293 were isolated Acanthocinus griseus, Ips chinensis, Pissodes nitidus Heilongjiang Province,...
The red turpentine beetle Dendroctonus valens is an invasive forest pest that has been rapidly spreading northward since its introduction in China. Some ophiostomatalean associates of D. are essential contributing factors for this to become aggressive pine killer In study, a survey was conducted new area beetle’s habitat Liaoning Province. A total 126 fungal were isolated. Based on the combination morphological characteristics and phylogeny, these isolates identified as Ceratocystiopsis...
Ips (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) bark beetles (BBs) are ecologically and economically devastating coniferous pests in the Northern Hemisphere. Although microbial diversity associated with these has been well studied, mechanisms of community assembly functional roles key microbes remain poorly understood. This study investigates structures functions both intestinal non-intestinal environments five BBs using a metagenomic approach. The findings reveal similar compositions, though α-diversity...
Bark beetles and their associated fungi, which cause forest decline sometimes high mortality in large areas around the world, are of increasing concern terms health. Three Tomicus spp. (T.brevipilosus, T.minor T.yunnanensis) infect branches trunks Pinusyunnanensis P.kesiya Yunnan Province, south-western China. well known as vectors ophiostomatoid fungi co-occurrence could result serious ecological economic impact on local ecosystems. Nonetheless, knowledge about diversity, ecology, including...
Abstract Ips subelongatus is a major pest that infects larch plantations over large areas of northern and northeastern China. species are closely associated with ophiostomatoid fungi morphologically well-adapted for dispersal by beetles. These associations result in important threat coniferous forests worldwide. The aim this study was to characterize the communities I. infesting Larix sympatric Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica China forests. Morphological multilocus phylogenetic approaches...
The pine wood nematode (PWN),
, as a major family of the largest class kingdom fungi
Summary China has 12 taxa of white pines (subgenus Strobus ), including species wide distribution valuable to plantation forestry and rare endemics only distantly related other pines. The most important forest diseases these are caused by the blister rust fungi genus Cronartium that alternate telial host Ribes Pedicularis . serious infestations have occurred in southwestern on Pinus armandii northeastern P. koraiensis pathogen usually been identified as ribicola Several lines evidence,...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is the most destructive diseases of and poses a threat serious economic losses worldwide. Although several mechanisms involved in progression have been discovered, molecular response Pinus massoniana to PWN infection has not explored. We constructed four subtractive suppression hybridization cDNA libraries taking time-course samples from PWN-inoculated Masson trees. One-hundred forty-four significantly...
The activity of the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchusxylophilus leads to extremely serious economic, ecological and social losses in East Asia. causes wilt disease, which is currently regarded as most important forest disease China. pathogenic feeds on dendrocola fungi complete its cycle infection. As vector nematode, Japanese sawyer ( Monochamusalternatus ) also carries fungi. Pine woods, infected by B.xylophilus tunnelled M.alternatus , are inhabited ophiostomatoid These well known for...
Cellulases are pathogenic substances suspected to be responsible for the development of early symptoms nematode disease.The pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Parasitaphelenchidae), is causal agent wilt disease, which kills millions trees.We used RNA interference (RNAi), a reverse genetic tool, analyze function endo-β-1,4-glucanase gene B. xylophilus, causes most serious forest tree disease in China and rest eastern Asia.Silencing this was detected through real-time PCR...
Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) inhibits intracellular replication of Francisella tularensis in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) and mice, but the mechanisms this protective effect are poorly characterized. We used genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) screening macrophage cell line THP-1 to identify genes that mediate beneficial effects IFN-γ on F. infection. A primary screen identified ∼200 replicated candidate genes. These were prioritized according mRNA expression IFN-γ-primed...
Poplar are important forestry species in China, but the Botryosphaeria dothidea pathogen causes serious economic losses worldwide. To identify candidate B. resistance proteins and explore molecular mechanisms involved poplar-pathogen interactions, proteomic responses of stem samples from resistant susceptible poplar ecotypes to were investigated using nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with label-free quantitative analysis. We identified 588 proteins, divided into 21...
During a study of ophiostomatoid fungi associated with the invasive pest Dendroctonus valens in Pinus tabuliformis ecosystem northern China, multigenic (ITS2-LSU, β-tubulin and EF1-α) phylogenetic analysis examination morphological features revealed addition to Leptographium procerum occurrence an undescribed species. The new species, sinoprocerum, belongs L. procerum-L. profanum clade. Both sinoprocerum are similar each other occur sympatrically studied. Nevertheless can be distinguished...
Two aphelenchoidid nematodes, Nxy17 and Nxy22, isolated from Simao pine in Yunnan Province, China, were cultured on Botrytis cinerea . Identification, based morphology, showed that the parthenogenetic population was Aphelenchoides varicaudatus but amphimictic Nxy22 an undescribed species belonging to Tylaphelenchus , herein described as T. jiaae n. sp. The new is characterised by small female male bodies (401-603 309-450 μm, respectively), weakly offset cephalic region, slender stylet (10-12...
Pinus armandii (P. armandii) is extensively abundant in western China and, as a pioneer tree, and prominently influences local ecology. However, pine forests this region have been significantly damaged by Dendroctonus armandi (D. armandi) infestations, close association with ophiostomatoid fungi. This study aimed to identify the diversity of fungi associated D. infesting P. China. A total 695 fungal strains were isolated from 1040 tissue pieces galleries 89 adult beetles at four sites. In...
Climate change has exacerbated outbreaks of forest pests worldwide. In recent years, bark beetles have caused significant damage to coniferous forests the Northern Hemisphere.
