The above operation significantly reduced microbial contamination during tissue culture process. Different types and concentrations of hormones were added into the basic medium MS to screen the optimal formula for induced plantlet growth and rooting. It was found that 1/2MSCO was the best medium on which stem, leaves and roots of tissue culture plantlets of Huperzia serrata grew quickly. At the same time, sand planting was a convenient and effective approach for gemmae propagation of Huperzia serrata, the survival rate of seedlings germinated from gemmae was nearly 100%.展开更多

Ticks were collected by sterile forceps from restrained cattle hide and placed into labeled falcon tubes. Ticks were screened for pathogens by High Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis and sequencing of specific RT-PCR products of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia species. A total of 317 ticks (281 adult ticks and 36 nymphs) comprising seven species were collected around the Tsavo National Reserve (TNR) in Taita Taveta County with Amblyomma gemma being the most commonly collected species (n = 135, 42.6%). From near Shimba Hill game reserve (SHNR), a total of 240 adult’s ticks were sampled, representing eight species, with again Amblyomma gemma being the most sampled species (n = 156, 65%). From Tsavo, a total of three pools of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus were positive for Theileria parva, two pools of Rhipicephaline evertsi for Anaplasma platys and one pool of Amblyomma variegatum nymphs for Rickettsia africae. Rickettsia africae, which causes African tick-bite fever, was detected in two pools of Am. variegatum and one pool of Amblyomma gemma collected near Shimba Hill game reserve. Rickettsia sp. and Anaplasma sp. were detected in Am. gemma and Rh. evertsi respectively. Rickettsia aeschlimannii was detected in a pool of Am. gemma. These findings highlight the risk of transmission of zoonotic pathogens to humans in regions with high human-wildlife interfaces. Of specific importance, we provide evidence of R. aeschlimannii in A. gemma for the first time, representing a potential new R. aeschlimannii vectors.展开更多

The parallel differential mobility analyzer provides the possibility to simultaneously measure a size spec- trum of nanoparticles and select a particular set of nanoparticles with a defined size for collection （as well as enrichment） and further orthogonal analysis （as for example electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy or mass spectrometry）. Performing a high resolution measurement of electrical mobility diameters allows molecular weight determination of species with ultrahigh molecular masses in the mega Dalton range （e.g. protein complexes）. The precise size measurement of the human rhinovirus has confirmed the potential of this technique to analyze even intact infectious human-pathogenic viruses. Moreover, the real-time measurement of nanoparticle occurrence in an urban environment confirms the versatility of the method presented here and its applicability also in other areas of importance.展开更多
