摘要:

目的 通过动物攻毒实验观察荒漠型杜氏利什曼原虫虫株在动物体内外的致病力,探索保持该虫株致病力的保存方法。 方法 将从rK39抗体阳性灰仓鼠脾脏中分离获得的荒漠型杜氏利什曼原虫虫株分别在体外培养基中传代培养至7 d、30 d、36 d、44 d、60 d、90 d和150 d后,按2.6×105条/只剂量腹腔接种至草原兔尾鼠,接种后60 d计算动物的脾脏系数、虫株感染率和抗体阳性率。进一步将荒漠型杜氏利什曼原虫虫株分别接种灰仓鼠和草原兔尾鼠进行传代保种,比较两种动物感染该虫株后的存活时间和致病力变化。 结果 体外培养7~150 d的荒漠型杜氏利什曼原虫虫株接种后,草原兔尾鼠的脾脏系数由7 d的1.0%上升至30 d的2.2%,达到正常脾脏系数(0.15%)的10倍以上,而60 d的脾脏系数虽有下降,但仍然达正常值的3倍;虫株感染率和抗体阳性率由7 d的80%逐步下降至60 d的0%;90 d时的各项观测指标与对照组相比无明显差异,均在正常值范围内。传代感染虫株后,草原兔尾鼠的存活时间为1~13个月,感染的半数个体于接种后4个月内死亡;而灰仓鼠的存活时间为5~31个月,感染的半数个体于接种后13.7个月内死亡;两种动物的平均死亡时间差异显著(t=0.000 1,P<0.001),脾脏系数差异无统计学意义(t=0.990,P>0.05)。该虫株在两种动物体内的致病力一致,且在动物体内连续传代4年仍然具有致病力。 结论 荒漠型杜氏利什曼原虫虫株随体外培养时间延长,其致病力逐步降低,90 d时对草原兔尾鼠已无致病力,说明培养基传代培养方法不能保持该虫株对动物的致病力。动物体内传代接种才可以保持该虫株对动物的致病力。

Abstract:

Objective To determine the virulence of desert-type Leishmania donovani strains through animal infection experiments and to explore preservation methods for maintaining their pathogenicity. Methods The isolated strain was cultured in vitro for 7, 30, 36, 44, 60, 90, and 150 days, respectively, and inoculated into Lagurus lagurus (L.lagurus) with the dose of 2.6×105 per animal by intraperitoneal injection. The spleen coefficient, infection rate, and antibody positive rate of the inoculated animals were detected at day 60 after infection. The desert-type Leishmania donovani strain was further inoculated with Cricetulus migratorius (C.migratorius) and L. lagurus, respectively, for passaging and preservation. The survival time of two kinds of animals and pathogenicity change of the stain in their bodies were compared. Results After inoculation of desert-type Leishmania donovani strains cultured in vitro for 7-150 days, the spleen coefficient of inoculated L.lagurus gradually increased from 1% on day 7 to 2.2% on day 30, which was more than 10 times of the normal spleen coefficient. Additionally, on day 60, the spleen coefficient remained 3 times higher than the normal value. The infection rate and antibody positive rate decreased from 80% on day 7 to 0% on day 60. At 90 days, there were no significant differences between the infected groups and the control group, and all the observed indexes were within the normal range. The survival time of L.lagurus infected with the in vivo passage strain ranged from 1 to 13 months, and half of the infected individuals died within 4 months. In contrast, C.migratorius had a survival time ranging from 5 to 31 months, and half of the infected individuals died within an average of 13.7 months. There was a significant difference in the average time of death between the two groups (t=0.000 1, P<0.001), but no significant difference in spleen coefficient (t=0.990, P>0.05). This strain exhibited equal virulence in both animals and remained virulent for up to 4 years after continuous passage. Conclusion With the prolonged culture time, the virulence of the strain decreases gradually. At 90 d, it has no pathogenicity to L. lagurus. Long-term in vitro culture fails to preserve it's pathogenicity to L.lagurus. Only in vivo inoculation can maintain the virulence of this strain.
