Genetic Diversity of Carpinus tientaiensis Cheng, an Endemic and Critically Endangered Species in China, Based on ITS Sequences
No full textThe habitat of Carpinus tientaiensis Cheng (Betulaceae), an endemic endangered species in China, has been severely damaged, and it is in danger of going extinct. It is of great practical significance to propose corresponding protection measures based on population genetic variation. Based on the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, this study discovered that C. tientaiensis has relatively high genetic diversity at the species level. At the population level, the genetic variation levels of each population were not consistent, and the genetic diversity of the northern populations was higher than that of the southern populations. There was no significant genetic differentiation and phylogeographic structure among ribotypes and populations. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Sect. Distegocarpus and Sect. Carpinus were two independent genetic groups among the Carpinus, and C. tientaiensis may be the more evolutionary species in the Sect. Carpinus. Therefore, this study inferred that while C. tientaiensis has certain adaptability, climate change and human interference have brought it to an endangered state. Its populations may experienced the bottleneck effect, after which the expansion time was too short, with the populations failing to form a complex genetic structure. In addition, Tiantai Mountain was probably the original community and center of C. tientaiensis
Taxonomic Identity of Carpinus dayongina Franchet (Betulaceae)
No full textCarpinus polyneura and C. dayongina are recognised as separate species in Flora of China. In this study, the results of an examination of literature, morphological comparison and phenetic clustering of nuclear ITS sequences suggest that C. dayongina is conspecific with C. polyneura. Thus, we propose reducing C. dayongina to a synonym of C. polyneura
Innovative Approaches to Combat Duck Viral Hepatitis: Dual-Specific Anti-DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 Yolk Antibodies
No full textBackground and Objectives: Duck viral hepatitis (DVH), a highly contagious and acutely fatal avian disease, is characterized by convulsions, acute death, liver swelling, and hemorrhage, leading to substantial losses in the duck industry. However, there is no efficient prevention and control method for DHV infection. Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) is one of the primary pathogens responsible for DVH. Methods: In this study, we prepared a highly effective anti-DHAV IgY antibody by immunizing Hy-Line Brown laying hens at the peak of egg production. Results and Conclusions: The neutralization index of this antibody was found to be up to 38.90 (DHAV-1 QYD strain) and 141.25 (DHAV-3 GY strain) in vitro. The antibody also exhibited effective prophylactic effects in a model of hepatic inflammation following the viral challenge of ducklings, with a dose of 0.5 mL per duckling (containing 64 mg/mL of IgY) significantly reducing DHAV-related mortality by 66%, providing substantial protection against the infection. Furthermore, it effectively alleviated oxidative damage caused by DHAV in the ducklings. The results of this study indicate that IgY has the potential for treating DHAV infection; it also provides a new way for the treatment of poultry diseases with specific antibodies
