长角血蜱Ykt6蛋白抗东方泰勒虫感染的生物学效应

Biological effects of Ykt6 protein from Haemaphysalis longicornis for anti-infection of Theileria orientalis

为了解Ykt6基因在蜱体中影响东方泰勒虫感染的生物学效果,通过长角血蜱实验室培养株和野外株,评估Ykt6蛋白对东方泰勒虫侵染长角血蜱过程中蜱的存活率、繁殖率以及对东方泰勒虫感染率等指标的生物学效果。结果显示,Ykt6基因参与了东方泰勒虫与长角血蜱之间的宿主-寄生虫相互作用。Ykt6基因的表达水平与东方泰勒虫在长角血蜱体内的存活和繁殖能力密切相关,当该基因表达水平降低时,东方泰勒虫的存活率和繁殖能力显著下降。进一步的研究发现,Ykt6基因的变异可能影响东方泰勒虫与长角血蜱之间的相互作用。一些野外长角血蜱个体具有Ykt6基因的突变,导致东方泰勒虫在长角血蜱体内的存活和繁殖能力显著下降。这一发现提示,Ykt6基因的变异可能是东方泰勒虫入侵长角血蜱的一个关键因素。总之,Ykt6基因对东方泰勒虫入侵长角血蜱具有重要影响。通过研究Ykt6基因的功能和变异,可以深入了解东方泰勒虫与长角血蜱之间的相互作用,为控制东方泰勒虫入侵提供新的思路和方法。这将有助于保护人畜健康和生态环境的平衡。

In order to understand the biological effects of Ykt6 gene on the infection of Theileria orientalis in Haemaphysalis longicornis,this study evaluated the biological effects of Ykt6 protein for survival rate of ticks,and the reproduction rate,infection rate against H.longicornis during the infection process of T.orientalis between wild and cultured H.longicornis.The results showed that the Ykt6 gene was involved in the host parasite interaction between T.orientalis and H.longicornis.The expression level of the Ykt6 gene was closely related to the survival and reproductive ability of the T.orientalis in H.longicornis.When the expression level of this gene decreases,the survival rate and reproductive ability of the T.orientalis significantly decrease.Further research found that the variation of the Ykt6 gene may affect the interaction between T.orientalis and H.longicornis.Some individuals in the wild had mutations in the Ykt6 gene,leading to a significant decrease in the survival and reproductive ability of the T.orientalis in the tick.This discovery suggested that the variation of the Ykt6 gene may be a key factor in the invasion of H.longicornis by T.orientalis.In summary,the Ykt6 gene has a significant impact on the invasion of H.longicornis by the T.orientalis.By studying the function and variation of the Ykt6 gene,it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between T.orientalis and H.longicornis,providing new ideas and methods for controlling the invasion of T.orientalis.This will help to protect human and animal health and balance the ecological environment.
