摘要
东方蜜蜂微孢子虫(Nosema ceranae)是一种广泛寄生于东方蜜蜂Apis cerana,西方蜜蜂Apis mellifera和熊蜂Bombus Latreille上的寄生虫,对蜜蜂和熊蜂的危害较大,进而影响养蜂业的发展。本实验采用荧光染色试剂Calcofluor White M2R与核酸染料Sytox Green双重染法来鉴别蜜蜂或熊蜂体内的N.ceranae及孢子的存活状态。结果得出,在荧光显微镜下可见死孢子被染上黄绿色荧光,活的呈现蓝白色荧光,而寄主细胞、细菌、病毒等不被染色。这是一种快速有效鉴别N.ceranae及其死活的方法,从而判定蜜蜂或熊蜂体内的微孢子虫在是否具有侵染活性,对微孢子虫的研究及药物防治具有重要作用。
Nosema ceranae is a microsporidian parasite of Apis cerana, Apis mellifera and bumblebees that has an adverse effect on pollination, especially of fruits and vegetables, and apiculture. In this study, Calcofluor White M2R and Sytox Green stains were used to discriminate between live and dead N. ceranae. The results show that dead N. ceranae spores had yellow-green fluorescence whereas live spores fluoresced white - blue. This method allows easy detection and identification of live and dead N. ceranae and should therefore contribute to further research on N. ceranae and its treatment.
