Abstract725)      PDF (1043KB)(1113)      
Objective To explore a suitable method of protein extraction from German cockroach ( Blattella germanica) in order to provide a basis for proteomic studies of B. germanica. Methods The adults of B. germanica were defatted with acetone and five protein extracts (TCA/acetone, RIPA, Tris-HCl, 1% SDS and lysate) were used for protein extraction. The concentration of protein was measured with the Bradford methods and the efficacy of protein extraction of the individual method before and after defatting was compared by SDS-PAGE analysis. Results Defatting contributed to the extraction of protein from B. germanica. In the five protein extraction methods, RIPA lysate was most effective. The results showed that the protein bands of female and male adults were 13 and 16, respectively, followed by the methods of SDS, Tris-HCl and lysate, with the TCA/acetone method being the least effective in terms of protein extraction. Conclusion Defatting with acetone makes for protein extraction from B. germanica; and RIPA lysate is more effective for protein extraction from adult B. germanica.

Objective To observe the role of ecological approaches to deratization in keeping the rat density in large hotels as low as possible, providing a scientific basis for future deratization. Methods First, 0.005% bromadiolone corn poison bait was laid out for 6 consecutive days in the four large hotels with similar environmental conditions and serious rodent damage. And then the 4 hotels were randomly divided into two groups, of which ecological approaches to deratization were followed in one, with the other used as the control group. S-100 method was used to evaluate the deratization effect by the deratization rate based on the difference in the rodent density between the 2 groups within 6 months. Results The deratization rate of 0.005% bromadiolone corn poison bait for the 4 hotels was 96.92%, 97.06%, 96.82% and 97.53%, respectively, with the overall deratization rate being 97.12% within the 6 months. By the end of the observation, the rat density of the 2 hotels in the test group increased only by 2.97 compared with that at the time when corn poison bait deratization was completed, while the density of the 2 hotels in the control group increased by 34.34 in the same period of time with a difference of 31.37 between the two groups(u=22.24, P<0.01). Conclusion The deratization effect with poison bait followed by ecological approaches is a highly effective means for safe deratization and prolonged maintenance of the state.

And the rebounding rate of rat density was 3.61%,6.99%,16.01%,23.68%,62.01%and 100.90%respectively in canteens 1-6months after deratization. Conclusion The rat density can be maintained at a low level in storehouses within 6 months and in canteens 4 months after deratization. The rebounding speed of rat density is related to food sources,water sources,rat prevention installations and environments. And it is suggested that deratization should be conducted once every 5-6months in storehouses and 3-4months in canteens.
