Development of a Multivalent Inactivated Vaccine against Pathogenic Escherichia coli Infection in Forest Musk Deer

A multivalent inactivated Escherichia coli vaccine for forest musk deer by using serotypes O4,O26,and O139 with Al（OH）3 adjuvant was prepared.The vaccine did not cause any adverse reactions in forest musk deer.The immunogenic effects of the vaccine were experimentally investigated in pregnant and young forest musk deer.The serum antibody titers of pregnant and young forest musk deer were determined by performing the micro-agglutination test.The serum antibody titers of pregnant forest musk deer were more stable from 35th to 68th d after the third vaccination,and the serum antibody titers of four pregnant forest musk deer were maintained 25,25,25,and 24 on 68th d after the third vaccination.Young forest musk deer showed serum antibody titers which were obtained due to nursing.Young forest musk deer were administered the first intramuscular vaccine injection at an age of approximately 60 days due to a fall in maternal antibody titers.The serum antibody titers of young forest musk deer were higher after the third vaccination and maintained at approximately the same level until they were 137 days old.The maternal antibodies and the antibodies produced by young forest musk deer could be helpful for protecting the young musk deer from the infections of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains（serotypes O4,O26,and O139）for 137 days after birth（during the nursing period and the period when the forest musk deer were susceptible to diseases）.

石灰投加与搅拌对生态厕所的灭菌效果

以发展中国家农村地区的卫生条件改善为目的,开展了简易生态厕所的粪便堆肥处理实验。在投加石灰作为抑菌剂的条件下,研究了搅拌混合对杀灭致病微生物的影响,以及使堆肥终产物达到可接受风险值所需的最佳搅拌条件。实验确定了石灰的投加量,并应用Beta-Possion模型对堆肥处置过程中致病微生物对暴露人群的健康风险进行评价,从而从健康风险控制的角度确定了最佳的搅拌次数。研究结果表明,石灰投加量约占堆肥干重1.5%,手动搅拌50次,经搅拌后放置12 h能达到可接受的风险值(3.2×10-5)。
