This reformed DNA of the BBTV replicas which being homologous to 90% with the Australia＇s encoded the C-Terminal of BBTV replicas. The reformed BBTV replicas were cloned to pBI121 in the position between CaMV 35S promoter and NOS termination sequence, and a plant-expressed carder was established. Four transgenic bananas with the expression of BBTV replicase gene in To generation were detected with PCR and Western blot analysis. The ability of these transgenic bananas against bunchy top virus is being analyzed.展开更多

METHODS: We recorded the natural foci and isolated Orientia tsutsugamushi (O. tsutsugamushi) organism. We also studied prevention measures. RESULTS: These islands had the natural foci of a south subtropical zone. The main host and vector were Rattus norvegicus and Leptotrombidium deliens (L. deliens), respectively. The seasonal quantity trends of Rattus norvegicus and Leptotrombidium deliens were consistent with the incidence of human infection. Thirty-five strains of O. tsutsugamushi were isolated from Rattus norvegicus and L. deliense. The identification of 7 strains showed that most strains were Karp. Seroepidemiology showed a high prevalence of antibody against O. tsatsugamushi among local people. After prevention measures were used, the incidence was decreased. CONCLUSION: This was the first successful confirmation that the Nan Peng Lie Islands were natural foci of tsutsugamushi disease.展开更多
