Animal-derived food safety incidents caused by zoonotic diseases occur frequently. In order to control and ensure the safety of pork consumption from its raw material source and to control the cost of pork and its products consumption, this study constructed a triple real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) method that can simultaneously detect hepatitis E virus (HEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and porcine δ corona virus (PDCoV) in pork and its products. The results showed that the triple qPCR method could only amplify the specific gene fragments of three target viruses, which had high specificity. The minimum detection limits of the three viruses (HEV, PEDV, and PDCoV) were 6.02, 6.98 and 6.92 copies/μL respectively. The coefficient of variation (CV%) within and between groups ranged from 0.10% to 3.0%, with good repeatability. The established method was applied to detect 248 samples of pork products and exports and 282 raw pig manure swabs, and parallel detection was also conducted using corresponding virus detection methods for comparison. The detection rates of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, porcine deltacoronavirus, and hepatitis E virus in pork products and exports were all 0%, which was consistent with the results of the corresponding virus detection methods. The detection rates of the three viruses (PEDV, PDCoV, and HEV) using this method were 1.06%, 3.19% and 0.35%, respectively. The detection rates of the standard method for these three viruses were 1.06%, 3.19% and 0%, respectively. The study showed that the established triplex qPCR detection method can accurately and rapidly detect three viruses in pork and its products or pig samples, providing technical support for ensuring the market circulation of fresh pork and its products and blocking the transmission of viral foodborne diseases.
Hepatitis E virus(HEV)is a universal foodborne pathogen that infects swine,deer,rabbits,camels,and other animals.Direct contact with infected pigs and other animals or consumption of contaminated food(uncooked or undercooked)poses a risk of HEV infection in humans.This article summarizes the etiology and epidemiology of HEV,its prevalence in various animal species,and the contamination of meat and meat products,the aquatic environment,seafood,vegetables,and other crops.Therefore,people can better understand the risk of foodborne HEV transmission and provide a scientific basis for preventing and controlling its prevalence.

DNA methylation modification can regulate gene expression without changing the genome sequence, which helps organisms to rapidly adapt to new environments. However, few studies have been reported in non-model mammals. Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a flagship species for global biodiversity conservation. Wildness and reintroduction of giant pandas are the important content of giant pandas’ protection. However, it is unclear how wildness training affects the epigenetics of giant pandas, and we lack the means to assess the adaptive capacity of wildness training giant pandas. We comparatively analyzed genome-level methylation differences in captive giant pandas with and without wildness training to determine whether methylation modification played a role in the adaptive response of wildness training pandas. The whole genome DNA methylation sequencing results showed that genomic cytosine methylation ratio of all samples was 5.35%–5.49%, and the methylation ratio of the CpG site was the highest. Differential methylation analysis identified 544 differentially methylated genes (DMGs). The results of KEGG pathway enrichment of DMGs showed that VAV3, PLCG2, TEC and PTPRC participated in multiple immune-related pathways, and may participate in the immune response of wildness training giant pandas by regulating adaptive immune cells. A large number of DMGs enriched in GO terms may also be related to the regulation of immune activation during wildness training of giant pandas. Promoter differentially methylation analysis identified 1,199 genes with differential methylation at promoter regions. Genes with low methylation level at promoter regions and high expression such as, CCL5, P2Y13, GZMA, ANP32A, VWF, MYOZ1, NME7, MRPS31 and TPM1 were important in environmental adaptation for wildness training giant pandas. The methylation and expression patterns of these genes indicated that wildness training giant pandas have strong immunity, blood coagulation, athletic abilities and disease resistance. The adaptive response of giant pandas undergoing wildness training may be regulated by their negatively related promoter methylation. We are the first to describe the DNA methylation profile of giant panda blood tissue and our results indicated methylation modification is involved in the adaptation of captive giant pandas when undergoing wildness training. Our study also provided potential monitoring indicators for the successful reintroduction of valuable and threatened animals to the wild.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒2型(Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,SARS-CoV-2)引起的新型冠状病毒病(Coronavirus disease 2019,COVID-19)对全人类的健康造成了严重威胁.除人类以外,动物感染SARS-CoV-2的情况也不断被发现,包括与人类活动密切相关的犬、猫等伴侣动物[1-3].本文结合该领域的最新研究和报道,以犬、猫为重点,概括了伴侣动物感染SARS-CoV-2的情况和机制,以便为下一步研究提供一些思路.
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a global flagship species for biodiversity conservation. As the time for captive giant pandas to be released into the wild matures, wildness training is provided to allow adaptation to their natural environment. It is assumed that changes in the immune system would be integral in this adaptation from captive to wild, where many more pathogens would be encountered in their natural habitats. Therefore, this study aims to determine the expression changes of immune-related genes and their potential as immunoassay markers for adaptation monitoring in wildness training giant pandas, and then to understand the adaptation strategy of wildness training giant pandas to the wild environment, thereby improving the success rate of panda reintroduction. We obtained 300 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by RNA-seq, with 239 up-regulated and 61 down-regulated DEGs in wildness training giant pandas compared to captive pandas. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that up-regulated DEGs were enriched in several immune-related terms and pathways. There were 21 immune-related DEGs, in which most of them were up-regulated in wildness training giant pandas, including several critical innate and cellular immune genes. IL1R2 was the most significantly up-regulated gene and is a signature of homeostasis within the immune system. In the protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis, CXCL8, CXCL10, and CCL5 were identified as the hub immune genes. Our results suggested that wildness training giant pandas have stronger innate and cellular immunity than captive giant pandas, and we proposed that a gene set of CXCL8, CXCL10, CCL5, CD3D, NFKBIA, TBX21, IL12RB2, and IL1R2 may serve as potential immunoassay markers to monitor and assess the immune status of wildness training giant pandas. Our study offers the first insight into immune alterations of wildness training giant pandas, paving the way for monitoring and evaluating the immune status of giant pandas when reintroducing them into the wild.

The influences of ecological protection redlines on urban sustainable development can significantly vary from place to place with distinct ecological functions and human activity interference. However, recent research lacks the evaluation of ecological functions and human activity interference in ecological protection redline areas near urban areas. This article presents an evaluation method consisting of two evaluation criteria systems: an ecological function evaluation criteria system based on conserving water resources and soil and maintaining biodiversity and a human activity interfer- ence evaluation criteria system based on the human activity impact index, population and road network density, and the intensity of tourism activity and livelihood sewage discharge. This evaluation method was verified in Zoige County, China, by using remote sensing data to evaluate ecological functions and human activity interference in the ecological redline area for an urban environment. This evaluation method is one of the preliminary studies of urban sustainable develop- ment planning, and the result could provide a basis for the formulation of urban sustainable development strategy.
