作者没有什么可透露的。

以前已经表明, 强迫流涎获得的结果与经典的再喂养实验6一致。然而, 无论是在重新喂养实验和我们提出的强迫流涎的方法, 它是不可能直接证明流涎活动或监测唾液释放。为了证明流涎的活性, 样品可以检测唾液中的其他成分 (例如,蛋白质, 碳水化合物等)。此外, 额外的 qPCRs 将允许检测病毒 RNA 拷贝。然而, 这需要在不同的分析中分离唾液样本, 这可能会限制细胞培养实验中极低颗粒数的敏感性。反过来, 这可能导致低估了已确定的传输速率。
为了重现的结果, 有必要确保所有蚊子活着直到实验结束。这是通过视觉监测蚊子的身体运动活动来控制的。此外, 对某种蚊子物种的流涎试验的原则使用必须通过喂养控制病毒进行测试, 已知这类蚊子是由这种特定的蚊虫传播的。反之亦然, 在实验中引入的每种病毒都必须在易感蚊子中进行测试。
强迫流涎测定有许多优点。高数量的蚊子可以同时测试在一个单一的标本基地在控制标准化的条件下, 而不与动物福利条例9的冲突。
该方法由几个实验室使用。然而, 确切的设置可能会有所不同, 这可能导致实验室之间的结果差异。一个关键的组成部分是毛细管收集唾液, 可以由玻璃14或塑料15。为了符合安全等级 3 insectary 的高安全性规定, 我们使用了塑料过滤器的小贴士代替了玻璃毛细血管, 从而降低了受伤的风险。此外, 过滤器提示有优势, 收集的液体可以很容易地转移使用吸管。
这里提出的强制流涎试验的设置是基于两个调查人员一起工作和分担职责。蚊子的复员是由一个人执行的, 另一个则同时准备强制流涎设置。这大大减少了处理时间, 并减少了样本切换的风险, 因为在复员工作场所和流涎之间的变化是不必要的。此外, 它允许在复员后立即将蚊子放在强制流涎装置上。这相当短的蚊子处理时间是必不可少的成功强迫流涎。最后, 在整个实验中可以直接监测蚊子的运动。
本文介绍的流涎分析方法是为了深入了解蚊虫的载体电位。然而, 为了回答其他一些具体问题 (例如, 感染脊椎动物所需的蚊子叮咬数量), 动物实验可能仍然需要。

在 2015年, Zika 病毒 (ZIKV) 是属于家庭Flaviviridae的一种蚊媒病毒 (mobovirus), 出现在哥伦比亚和巴西, 在美洲和加勒比地区迅速蔓延, 引起了大量相关的流行病。小头和 Guillain–Barré综合征1例临床病例。蚊和白纹伊蚊的蚊子被认为是 ZIKV2的主要和次要载体, 但白纹伊属的其他种类也被证明具有实验向量能力3.与伊蚊不同的是, 迄今为止测试的大多数淡色物种都无法传播病毒4。只是,淡色致倦的数据提供了不确定的结果3。目前, 在中等温度条件下 (< 20 摄氏度), ZIKV 的蚊媒能力缺乏信息。然而, 这一信息对于可能蔓延到诸如中欧等温带气候地区的风险评估是很重要的。
ZIKV 的有效载体能够获得、维持、放大并最终传播病毒。因此, 对 ZIKV 的蚊体或身体部位, 包括腿部、中肠、头或涎腺进行检测, 不足以确定载体的能力。在释放的唾液中检测感染病毒微粒是强制性的。为了评估向量的能力, 两种感染率 (IR, 每数量的 ZIKV 阳性蚊子的数量) 和传播率 (TR, 蚊子数量与 ZIKV 阳性唾液每数量 ZIKV 阳性蚊子身体), 必须确定。蚊子的 IRs 可以很容易地通过简单的均质蚊子分析, 其次是反向逆转录酶链反应 (RT qPCR) 靶向 ZIKV。此外, 感染还可以通过确定每只蚊子的病毒拷贝数来进一步表征。相比之下, 传输速率的分析依赖于在个体蚊子唾液中检测出可行的病毒微粒。这可以通过喂养受感染的蚊子在敏感的寄主动物, 其次是分析的病毒血症在主机5。然而, 这种方法依赖于合适的模型有机体, 而且代价高昂, 受到动物福利法规的限制。为了避免使用实验动物来分析传输速率和降低成本, 使用血滴的人工再喂养系统被描述了6。然而, 个体规模的测试与大量个体的结合是困难和耗时的。流涎的第一个描述在个体尺度被出版了在 1966年7年, 并且在近几年, 强迫流涎实验成为了评估蚊子的媒介能力的选择方法3,8.
根据我们的媒介能力研究最近出版的中欧蚊子9, 我们描述强迫流涎报告由安德森et。8与一些修改。该方法允许高生物安全水平条件下的高通量标准化实验 (BSL-3), 包括基于细胞培养的活性病毒的鉴定。这里所描述的实验包括856只蚊子。他们通过人工血餐感染 ZIKV, 随后对唾液中感染性病毒微粒的存在进行分析。在实验中引入的蚊子包括两个长期建立的 Ae 的实验室种群. 蚊和淡色库蚊虱molestus (Cx molestus), 以及田间捕捉淡色库蚊虱库蚊 (cx),淡色 torrentium (cx torrentium) 和两个Ae. 伊蚊种群。除了其中的两个Ae.在意大利收集的伊蚊种群中, 所有蚊子都是在德国收集的。

forced salivation as a method to analyze vector competence of mosquitoes

向量能力被定义为蚊子种类的潜力传播蚊子传播的病毒 (mobovirus) 到脊椎动物宿主。有效的病毒粒子通过感染蚊子的唾液在血液中传播。强迫流涎化验允许在单蚊子的基础上确定矢量电位, 避免使用动物实验。该方法适用于在短时间内对大量蚊虫进行一次实验分析。采用强迫流涎测定法分析了德国境内856只蚊子, 包括两种不同的淡色库蚊虱、淡色 torrentium和白纹伊蚊,实验感染与 Zika 病毒 (ZIKV) 和孵化在18°c 或27°c 为两个和三周。结果表明, 不同淡色类群对 ZIKV 的载体能力缺乏。相比之下,白纹伊蚊易受 ZIKV 的影响, 但只有27摄氏度, 传播速率类似于白纹伊蚊蚊实验室菌落平行测试。

白纹蚊被称为 ZIKV 的有效载体, 至少在热带气候条件下为12。因此, 我们使用Ae. 蚊作为一个积极的控制, 以建立检测和分析 IRs 以及在孵化温度为27°c 和湿度为80%。IR 和 TR 被定义为以前描述的财神等。13. 挑战Ae. 蚊显示了50% 和72% 的 IR 和42% 和31% 在14和21天后感染 (dpi), 分别 (图 1A和1B)。随后, 欧洲蚊子被测试 ZIKV 感染和传播使用热带和温带气候条件。
在27摄氏度的孵化温度下, 所有蚊子种类显示 ZIKV 感染在 14 dpi, 以及 21 dpi, 除了cx. 库蚊和cx. torrentium的个人, 这是积极的 14 dpi 仅。与不同的淡色类群相比, 所有的伊蚊物种都显示出较高的 irs (介于50% 和72% 之间) 以及较高的病毒 RNA 浓度 (106至 109 RNA 拷贝/蚊子标本), 这表明 irs 范围介于0% 和32% 和病毒装载 103到 104 RNA 拷贝或蚊子标本。所有的伊蚊物种都显示 ZIKV 阳性唾液 (TR 13–42%), 而淡色类群中的唾液样本没有 ZIKV (图 1A和1B)。有趣的是, 21 dpi 的传输速率在 ae 中是相似的. 蚊和ae从德国 (30%), 但极大地低在ae.来自意大利的伊蚊 (13%)。
在18摄氏度的适度温度下孵化有挑战的蚊子, 在白纹病毒的种类 (104–106 RNA 拷贝/蚊子) 以及在不同的淡色分类群 (102–104RNA 拷贝或蚊子)。然而, 在18摄氏度的孵化温度下, 没有观察到任何被调查的蚊子的 ZIKV 的传播。

Alphavirus Transducing System:  Tools for Visualizing Infection in Mosquito Vectors

Alphavirus transducing systems (ATSs) are important tools for expressing genes of interest (GOI) during infection. ATSs are derived from cDNA clones of mosquito-borne RNA viruses (genus Alphavirus; family Togaviridae). The Alphavirus genus contains about 30 different mosquito-borne virus species. Alphaviruses are enveloped viruses and contain single-stranded RNA genomes (~11.7 Kb). Alphaviruses transcribe a subgenomic mRNA that encodes the structural proteins of the virus required for encapsidation of the genome and maturation of the virus. Alphaviruses are usually highly lytic in vertebrate cells, but persistently infect susceptible mosquito cells with minimal cytopathology. These attributes make them excellent tools for gene expression in mosquito vectors. The most common ATSs in use are derived from Sindbis virus (SINV). The broad species tropism of SINV allows for infection of insect, avian, and mammalian cells8. However, ATSs have been derived from other alphaviruses as well9,10,20. Foreign gene expression is made possible by the insertion of an additional viral subgenomic RNA initiation site or promoter. ATSs in which an exogenous gene sequence is positioned 5' to the viral structural genes is used for stable protein expression in insects. ATSs, in which a gene sequence is positioned 3' to the structural genes, is used to trigger RNAi and silence expression of that gene in the insect.
ATSs have proven to be valuable tools for understanding vector-pathogen interactions, molecular details of viral replication and maintenance infectious cycles3,4,11,19,21. In particular, the expression of fluorescent and bioluminescent reporters has been instrumental tracking the viral infection in the vector and virus transmission5,14-16,18. Additionally, the vector immune response has been described using two strains of SINV engineered to express GFP2,9.
Here, we present a method for the production of SINV containing a fluorescent reporter (GFP) from the cDNA infectious clone. Infectious, full-length RNA is transcribed from the linearized cDNA clone. Infectious RNA is introduced into permissive target cells by electroporation. Transfected cells generate infectious virus particles expressing the GOI. Harvested virus is used to infect mosquitoes, as described here, or other host species (not shown herein). Vector competence is assessed by detecting fluorescence outside the midgut or by monitoring virus transmission7. Use of a fluorescent reporter as the GOI allows for convenient estimation of virus spread throughout a cell culture, for determination of rate of infection, dissemination in exposed mosquitoes, virus transmission from the mosquito and provides a rapid gauge of vector competence.

Methods for using alphavirus transducing systems to express fluorescent reporters in vitro and in adult mosquitoes are described. This technique may be adapted to express any protein of interest in lieu of or in addition to a reporter.

Hybridization in situ of Salivary Glands, Ovaries, and Embryos of Vector Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are vectors for a diverse set of pathogens including arboviruses, protozoan parasites and nematodes. Investigation of transcripts and gene regulators that are expressed in tissues in which the mosquito host and pathogen interact, and in organs involved in reproduction are of great interest for strategies to reduce mosquito-borne disease transmission and disrupt egg development. A number of tools have been employed to study and validate the temporal and tissue-specific regulation of gene expression. Here, we describe protocols that have been developed to obtain spatial information, which enhances our understanding of where specific genes are expressed and their products accumulate. The protocol described has been used to validate expression and determine accumulation patterns of transcripts in tissues related to mosquito-borne pathogen transmission, such as female salivary glands, as well as subcellular compartments of ovaries and embryos, which relate to mosquito reproduction and development. 
 The following procedures represent an optimized methodology that improves the efficiency of various steps in the protocol without loss of target-specific hybridization signals. Guidelines for RNA probe preparation, dissection of soft tissues and the general procedure for fixation and hybridization are described in Part A, while steps specific for the collection, fixation, pre-hybridization and hybridization of mosquito embryos are detailed in Part B.

Use of a Recombinant Mosquito Densovirus As a Gene Delivery Vector for the Functional Analysis of Genes in Mosquito Larvae

In vivo microinjection is the most commonly used gene transfer technique for analyzing the gene functions in individual mosquitoes. However, this method requires a more technically demanding operation and involves complicated procedures, especially when used in larvae due to their small size, relatively thin and fragile cuticle, and high mortality, which limit its application. In contrast, viral vectors for gene delivery have been developed to surmount extracellular and intracellular barriers. These systems have the advantages of easy manipulation, high gene transduction efficiency, long-term maintenance of gene expression, and the ability to produce persistent effects in vivo. Mosquito densoviruses (MDVs) are mosquito-specific, small single-stranded DNA viruses that can effectively deliver foreign nucleic acids into mosquito cells; however, the replacement or insertion of foreign genes to create recombinant viruses typically causes a loss of packaging and/or replication abilities, which is a barrier to the development of these viruses as delivery vectors.
Herein, we report using an artificial intronic small-RNA expression strategy to develop a non-defective recombinant Aedes aegypti densovirus (AaeDV) in vivo delivery system. Detailed procedures for the construction, packaging and quantitative analysis of the rAaeDV vectors, and for larval infection are described.
This study demonstrates, for the first time, the feasibility of developing a non-defective recombinant MDV micro RNA (miRNA) expression system, and thus providing a powerful tool for the functional analysis of genes in mosquito and establishing a basis for the application of viral paratransgenesis for controlling mosquito-borne diseases. We demonstrated that Aedes albopictus 1st instar larvae could be easily and effectively infected by introducing the virus into the water body of the larvae breeding site and that the developed rAaeDVs could be used to overexpress or knock down the expression of a specific target gene in larvae, providing a tool for the functional analysis of mosquito genes.

Phenotypic Analysis of Rodent Malaria Parasite Asexual and Sexual Blood Stages and Mosquito Stages

Recent advances in genetics and systems biology technologies have promoted our understanding of the biology of malaria parasites on the molecular level. However, effective malaria parasite targets for vaccine and chemotherapy development are still limited. This is largely due to the unavailability of relevant and practical in vivo infection models for human Plasmodium species, most notably for P.&#160;falciparum and P. vivax. Therefore, rodent malaria species have been extensively used as practical alternative in vivo models for malaria vaccine, drug targeting, immune response, and functional characterization studies of conserved Plasmodiumspp. genes. Indeed, rodent malaria models have proven to be invaluable, especially for exploring mosquito transmission and liver stage biology, and were indispensable for immunological studies. However, there are discrepancies in the methods used to evaluate the phenotypes of transgenic and wild-type asexual and sexual blood-stage parasites.&#160;Examples of these discrepancies are the choice of an intravenous vs. intraperitoneal infection of rodents with blood-stage parasites and the evaluation of male gamete exflagellation. Herein, we detail standardized experimental methods to evaluate the phenotypes of asexual and sexual blood stages in transgenic parasites expressing reporter-gene or wild-type rodent malaria parasite species. We also detail the methods to evaluate the phenotypes of malaria parasite mosquito stages (gametes, ookinetes, oocysts, and sporozoites) inside Anopheles mosquito vectors. These methods are detailed and simplified here for the lethal and non-lethal strains of P. berghei and P. yoelii but can also be applied with some adjustments to P. chabaudi and P. vinckei rodent malaria species.

Due to the striking similarities of the life cycle and biology of rodent malaria parasites to human malaria parasites, rodent malaria models have become indispensable for malaria research. Herein, we standardized some of the most important techniques used in the phenotypic analysis of wild-type and transgenic rodent malaria species.

Experimental Viral Infection in Adult Mosquitoes by Oral Feeding and Microinjection

Mosquito-borne viruses (MBVs), which are infectious pathogens to vertebrates, are spread by many mosquito species, posing a severe threat to public health. Once ingested, the viruses must overcome the mosquito midgut barrier to reach the hemolymph, from where they might potentially spread to the salivary glands. When a mosquito bites, these viruses are spread to new vertebrate hosts. Similarly, the mosquito may pick up different viruses. In general, only a tiny portion of viruses may enter the salivary glands via the gut. The transmission efficiency of these viruses to the glands is be affected by the two physical barriers found in different mosquito species: midgut barriers and salivary glands barriers. This protocol presents a method for virus detection in salivary glands of Aedes aegypti&#39;s&#160;following oral feeding and intrathoracic injection infection. Furthermore, determining whether the guts and/or salivary glands hinder viral spread can aid in the risk assessments of MBVs transmitted by Aedes aegypti.

This methodology, which included oral feeding and intrathoracic injection infection, could effectively assess the influence of midgut and/or salivary gland barriers on arbovirus infection.

A Bacterial Oral Feeding Assay with Antibiotic-Treated Mosquitoes

The mosquito midgut harbors a highly dynamic microbiome that affects the host metabolism, reproduction, fitness, and vector competence. Studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of gut microbes as a whole; however, different microbes could exert distinct effects toward the host. This article provides the methodology to study the effect of each specific mosquito gut microbe and the potential mechanism.
This protocol contains two parts. The first part introduces how to dissect the mosquito midgut, isolate cultivable bacteria colonies, and identify bacteria species. The second part provides the procedure to generate antibiotic-treated mosquitoes and reintroduce one specific bacteria species.

This article presents a protocol to investigate the effect of individual mosquito gut bacteria, including isolation and identification of mosquito midgut cultivable microbes, antibiotic depletion of mosquito gut bacteria, and reintroduce one specific bacteria species.

Two-layered Membrane Sandwich Method for Laodelphax striatellus Saliva Collection

Rice stripe virus (RSV), which causes significant economic loss of agriculture in East Asia, entirely depends on insect vectors for its effective transmission among host rice. Laodelphax striatellus (small brown planthopper, SBPH) is the primary insect vector that horizontally transmits RSV while sucking sap from the phloem. Saliva plays a significant role in insects' feeding behavior. A convenient method that will be useful for research on insects' saliva with piercing-sucking feeding behavior is described here. In this method, insects were allowed to feed on an artificial diet sandwiched between two stretched paraffin film layers. The diet containing the saliva was collected each day, filtered, and concentrated for further analysis. Finally, the quality of collected saliva was examined by protein staining and immunoblotting. This method was exemplified by detecting the presence of RSV and a mucin-like protein in the saliva of SBPH. These artificial feeding and saliva collection method will lay a foundation for further research on factors in insect saliva related to feeding behavior and virus transmission.

Dissection and Immunostaining of Larval Salivary Glands from Anopheles gambiae Mosquitoes

Mosquito salivary glands (SGs) are a requisite gateway organ for the transmission of insect-borne pathogens. Disease-causing agents, including viruses and the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria, accumulate in the secretory cavities of SG cells. Here, they are poised for transmission to their vertebrate hosts during a subsequent blood meal. As adult glands form as an elaboration of larval SG duct bud remnants that persist beyond early pupal SG histolysis, the larval SG is an ideal target for interventions that limit disease transmission. Understanding larval SG development can help develop a better understanding of its morphology and functional adaptations and aid in the assessment of new interventions that target this organ. This video protocol demonstrates an efficient technique for isolating, fixing, and staining larval SGs from Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. Glands dissected from larvae in a 25% ethanol solution are fixed in a methanol-glacial acetic acid mixture, followed by a cold acetone wash. After a few rinses in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), SGs can be stained with a broad array of marker dyes and/or antisera against SG-expressed proteins. This method for larval SG isolation could also be used to collect tissue for in situ hybridization analysis, other transcriptomic applications, and proteomic studies.

Detecting Virus and Salivary Proteins of a Leafhopper Vector in the Plant Host

Insect vectors horizontally transmit many plant viruses of agricultural importance. More than one-half of plant viruses are transmitted by hemipteran insects that have piercing-sucking mouthparts. During viral transmission, the insect saliva bridges the virus-vector-host because the saliva vectors viruses, and the insect proteins, trigger or suppress the immune response of plants from insects into plant hosts. The identification and functional analyses of salivary proteins are becoming a new area of focus in the research field of arbovirus-host interactions. This protocol provides a system to detect proteins in the saliva of leafhoppers using the plant host. The leafhopper vector Nephotettix cincticeps infected with rice dwarf virus (RDV) serves as an example. The vitellogenin and major outer capsid protein P8 of RDV vectored by the saliva of N. cincticeps can be detected simultaneously in the rice plant that N. cincticeps feeds on. This method is applicable for testing the salivary proteins that are transiently retained in the plant host after insect feeding. It is believed that this system of detection will benefit the study of hemipteran-virus-plant or hemipteran-plant interactions.

This protocol demonstrates how to use the plant host to detect salivary proteins of leafhopper and plant viral proteins released by leafhopper vectors.
