由墨尔本大学人类伦理委员会 (批准 #: 0723847) 批准对人体的蚊子进行血液喂养。所有志愿者都提供了书面同意。
1. 幼体饲养
注: 蚊子被关押在26±0.5 ° c 和50-70% 相对湿度, 与 12:12 h (光照: 暗) 光周期为这个殖民地维护协议。这些条件与澳大利亚凯恩斯的平均气候条件相似, 在Ae. 蚊生存和发展的最佳热范围内,44,45<...

按照此处提供的用于维护沃尔巴克感染的Ae. 蚊的协议, 应确保为实验和公开的现场发布提供一致质量的健康蚊子。与其他优先生产蚊子数量的协议相比 (参见参考57), 这些方法的重点是通过实施宽松的饲养条件, 在几代人内最大限度地提高他们的身体素质, 并跨越世代通过减少近亲繁殖, 选择和实验室适应。此协议也专门为ae. 蚊和沃尔巴克感染而设计, 但...

伊蚊蚊蚊子负责传播世界上一些最重要的媒, 包括登革热、Zika 和基孔肯亚1。这些病毒正日益成为全球健康的威胁, 因为在热带地区的Ae. 蚊的广泛分布继续扩展2、34。雌性Ae. 蚊优先于人血的5 , 因此倾向于与人类紧密地生活在一起, 特别是在人口最稠密的城市地区。通过与人类的密切联系, 他们也适应在人工生境中繁殖, 包括轮胎、花盆、水槽和水箱6,7。Ae. 蚊还可以很容易地适应实验室环境, 在从字段直接收集后, 它们无需任何特殊要求即可进行维护, 这与伊蚊属属8中的其他物种不同, 9,10。他们的易于维护已经看到他们广泛的研究在实验室中的广泛领域, 最终旨在控制蚊子可能传播的疾病。
传统上, arboviral 控制在很大程度上依赖于杀虫剂的使用来减少蚊子的数量。然而, 越来越多的兴趣的方法, 在实验室饲养的改良蚊子, 然后释放到自然的人口。释放蚊子可以修改基因11,12,13, 生物14,15, 通过辐照16, 化学处理17,18,或者使用组合技术19来抑制蚊子的数量, 或者用不耐 arboviral 传输的蚊子来替代它们, 如20。
沃尔巴克是当前用作媒的生物控制代理的细菌,.最近在Ae. 蚊中引入了几株沃尔巴克, 实验使用胚胎微注射21,22,23,24。这些菌株降低了媒在蚊子中传播和复制的能力, 减少了它们的传输电位23,25,26,27,28.沃尔巴克感染由母亲传给后代 , 但某些菌株在感染的男性与未感染的女配时会导致不孕 ,22。因此,沃尔巴克-受感染的雄性可以大量释放, 以抑制自然蚊子的数量, 最近在其他的伊蚊属物种1529中演示了这一点。但是, 由于沃尔巴克还会在Ae. 蚊中抑制 arboviral 传输, 因此蚊子也可以被释放, 以更差的向量替换本地种群。使用沃尔巴克进行实验感染的Ae. 蚊现在正被释放到多个国家的字段中, 这些应用后一种方法是14,3031。
基于沃尔巴克的 arboviral 控制方法依赖于对沃尔巴克、蚊子和环境之间的交互的正确理解。沃尔巴克在广泛的昆虫中自然发生, 而引入蚊子的菌株在它们的效果中是多种多样的32。由于新的沃尔巴克感染类型被引入到Ae. 蚊24中, 因此有必要在各种情况下对其对蚊子的适应性、繁殖和 arboviral 干扰的影响进行描述。因此, 需要在实验室进行严格的试验, 以评估沃尔巴克菌株在该领域取得成功的可能性。
使用沃尔巴克感染的Ae. 蚊的开放字段版本通常需要每发布区域数千到数万蚊子, 每个星期都要饲养14,3031。初始释放的成功可以通过释放蚊子的大尺寸, 以最大限度地提高其繁殖力33和交配成功3435。蚊子也应该适应他们将在野外经历的条件, 但是长期的实验室饲养可能会导致行为和生理学的变化, 这可能会影响到现场性能36,37, 38。
我们描述了一个简单的协议, 在实验室中使用基本设备来饲养Ae. 蚊。该协议适用于野生型和沃尔巴克感染的蚊子, 后者可能需要特别注意, 因为有些沃尔巴克菌株对蚊子的生命有实质性影响-历史特征39,40. 饲养条件避免过度拥挤和争夺食物以生产出一致大小的蚊子, 这对媒介能力和体能实验都是至关重要的, 并确保蚊子在野外释放时是健康的41.我们还采取预防措施, 以减少选择压力和确保下一代从一个大的, 随机池取样, 以减少实验室适应和近亲繁殖。然而, 实验室环境与野外条件明显不同, 在放松条件下的长期维护可能会使蚊子在释放时的适应度降低到37,42,43.因此, 我们周期性地将雌性从实验室线交叉到野外收集的雄性, 从而在基因上类似于实验比较的菌落, 并适应目标领域的人口39。这些方法不需要任何专门的设备, 可以扩展到每星期为现场发布的数万人的后方。该议定书还优先考虑蚊子在几代人之内和不同的适宜性, 这是在自然种群中建立的昆虫的重要考量。该协议适用于大多数需要维护Ae. 蚊的实验室, 特别是在实验比较中, 蚊子和 relatability 的质量是很重要的。

maintaining aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with wolbachia

伊蚊蚊实验感染了沃尔巴克的蚊子被用于控制媒的传播, 如登革热、基孔肯亚和 Zika。沃尔巴克-受感染的蚊子可以被释放到田间, 通过不相容的交配减少人口的大小, 或者通过不耐病毒传播的蚊子来改变种群。为了使这些策略成功, 从实验室释放到野外的蚊子必须与本土蚊子竞争。然而, 在实验室中维持蚊子会导致近亲繁殖、遗传漂移和实验室适应, 从而减少他们在野外的体能, 并可能混淆实验结果。为了测试不同的沃尔巴克感染在该领域中的适用性, 有必要在多个世代的受控实验室环境中维护蚊子。我们描述了在实验室中维护Ae. 蚊蚊子的简单协议, 它适用于沃尔巴克感染和野生类型的蚊子。这些方法最大限度地减少实验室适应和实施交, 以提高实验对野外蚊子的相关性。此外, 殖民地是保持在最佳条件下, 以最大限度地提高他们的适用性开放的野外发布。

图 4演示了次优营养对Ae. 蚊幼虫发育的影响。当容器提供每只幼虫每天或少于0.25 毫克的食物时, 雄性和雌性的发育时间就会增加, 而且与0.5 毫克食物的容器相比, 它的同步性更低。如果在幼体发育的整个过程中没有提供足够的食物, 这可能会对维护计划产生不利影响。缓慢发展的个体有被选择的危险, 血液喂养可能被延迟, 并且有更高的风险成?...
