- Abstract
Salmonella is a primary cause of foodborne diseases globally. Despite food contamination and clinical infections garnering substantial attention and research, asymptomatic Salmonella carriers, potential sources of infection, have been comparatively overlooked. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of serotype distribution, antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, and genetic profiles of archived Salmonella strains isolated from food (26), asymptomatic carriers (41), and clinical cases (47) in Shiyan City, China. Among the 114 Salmonella strains identified, representing 31 serotypes and 34 Sequence Types (STs), the most prevalent serovars included Typhimurium, Derby, Enteritidis, Thompson, and London, with the most predominant STs being ST11, ST40, ST26, ST34, and ST155. Antimicrobial resistance testing revealed that all strains were only sensitive to meropenem, with 74.6% showing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and 53.5% demonstrating multidrug resistance (MDR). Strains resistant to five and six classes of antibiotics were the most common. Pearson's chi-square test showed no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of AMR (p = 0.105) or MDR (p = 0.326) among Salmonella isolates from the three sources. Our findings underscore associations and diversities among Salmonella strains isolated from food, asymptomatic carriers, and clinical patients, emphasizing the need for increased vigilance towards asymptomatic Salmonella carriers by authorities., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Lv et al.

- Abstract
There are four species in the Crossoptilon genus inhibiting at from very low to very high altitudes across China, and they are in varying levels of danger of extinction. To better understand the genetic basis of adaptation to high altitudes and genetic changes due to bottleneck, we assembled the genome (~1.02 Gb) of a white eared pheasant (WT) (Crossoptilon crossoptilon) inhibiting at high altitudes (3,000~7,000 m) in northwest of Yunnan province, China, using a combination of Illumina short reads, PacBio long reads and Hi-C reads, with a contig N50 of 19.63 Mb and only six gaps. To further provide resources for gene annotation as well as functional and population genetics analyses, we sequenced transcriptomes of 20 major tissues of the WT individual and re-sequenced another 10 WT individuals and a blue eared pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum) individual inhabiting at intermediate altitudes (1,500~3,000 m). Our assembled WT genome, transcriptome data, and DNA sequencing data can be valuable resources for studying the biology, evolution and developing conservation strategies of these endangered species., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Perkinsosis has been recognized as one of the major threats to natural and farmed bivalve populations, many of which are of commercial as well as environmental significance. Three Perkinsus species have been identified in China, and the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) was the most frequently infected species in northern China. Although the occurrence and seasonal variation of Perkinsus spp. have previously been examined, the pathological characteristics of these infections in wild Manila clams and sympatric species in China have seldom been reported. In the present study, the prevalence and intensity of Perkinsus infection in wild populations of Manila clams and 10 sympatric species from three sites were investigated by Ray's fluid thioglycolate medium (RFTM) assay seasonally across a single year. Perkinsus infection was only identified in Manila clams, with a high prevalence (274/284 = 96.48 %) and low intensity (89.8 % with a Mackin value ≤ 2, suggesting generally low-intensity infections) throughout the year. Heavily infected clams were mainly identified in Tianheng in January, which displayed no macroscopic signs of disease. An overview of the whole visceral mass section showed that the trophozoites mostly aggregated in gills and connective tissue of the digestive tract, to a lesser extent in the mantle and foot, and even less frequently in adductor muscle and connective tissues of the gonad. PCR and ITS-5.8S rRNA sequencing of 93 representative RFTM-positive samples revealed a 99.69 to 100 % DNA sequence identity to Perkinsus olseni. Unexpectedly, significantly higher infection intensities were usually identified in January and April when the Condition Index (CI) was relatively high. We propose that factors associated with the anthropogenic harvesting pressure and irregular disturbances should be responsible for the uncommon seasonal infection dynamics of perkinsosis observed in the present study., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily has been reported to play an important role in heat tolerance pathways. Based on the Bovine Genome Variation Database and Selective Signatures, a missense mutation (NC_037345.1: c.2237A > G: p. His746Arg) (rs209689836) was identified in the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4 ( TRPM4 ) gene, a member of the TRP family, corresponding to heat tolerance. Here, we explored the prevalence of this variant in 19 native Chinese cattle (comprised of 404 individuals) to determine its possible association with heat tolerance in Chinese cattle by using PCR and DNA sequencing. The distribution of alleles of NC_037345.1: c.2237A > G: p. His746Arg displays significant geographical differences across native Chinese cattle breeds, consistent with the distribution of indicine and taurine cattle in China. Additionally, the association analysis indicated that the G allele was significantly associated with mean annual temperature (T), relative humidity (RH) and temperature humidity index (THI) ( p < .05), suggesting that cattle carrying allele G were distributed in regions with higher T, RH, and THI. In conclusion, our results suggested that the mutation of the TRPM4 gene in Chinese cattle might be a candidate locus associated with heat tolerance.

- Abstract
In this study, the diversity and regularity of two new feline calicivirus (FCV) isolates, QD-7 and QD-164, were investigated. The genomes of these new strains were compared with 39 strains from the NCBI database including isolates from China, United States, Germany, South Korea, the United Kingdom and Japan. The nucleotide sequence identities ranged from 75-88%, indicating a high degree of variability. These variations were not related to distributions of the virus by time of isolation and geographical location. Cats that were experimentally infected with the new isolate QD-164 showed typical clinical symptoms of sneezing, fever and conjunctivitis and all recovered within 30 days. In contrast, QD-7 infections were asymptomatic and the virus was cleared within 16 days. These results indicate that QD-7 and QD-164 were naturally attenuated strains. NNS mutations characteristic of highly virulent strains at positions 441-443 were absent in QD-7 while QD-164 possessed an N at position 442. This indicated that mutations in regions 441-443 may be linked to disease severity., (© 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.)

- Abstract
Historical hybridization between southern indigenous Chinese cattle and banteng has been well-documented and has resulted in gene introgression. Bitter taste receptors were reported in indigenous cattle as a result of introgression from banteng. To determine the level of introgression of the taste 2 receptor member 16 ( TAS2R16 ) gene from banteng into Chinese cattle, two missense mutations in the bovine TAS2R16 gene were examined. Here, we explored the prevalence of the two variants in 28 indigenous Chinese cattle and banteng breeds (comprising 750 individuals) to determine the influence of banteng introgressions on Chinese cattle based on PCR and DNA sequencing. In our study, the two mutant alleles had a higher frequency distribution in southern China with strong geographic distribution, especially in the south-central and southeast areas. In conclusion, this study examines the impact of introgression on the frequency distributions of mutations in variable regions and the subsequent adaptation of Chinese indigenous cattle to different environmental conditions.

- Abstract
The genomic characterization of emerging pathogens is critical for unraveling their origin and tracking their dissemination. Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a rapidly emerging pathogen in Asia including China. Although the first Lumpy skin disease (LSD) outbreak was reported in 2019, the origin, transmission, and evolutionary trajectory of LSDV in China have remained obscure. The viral genome of a circulating LSDV strain in China, abbreviated LSDV/FJ/CHA/2021, was sequenced using the next-generation sequencing technique. The morphology and cytoplasmic viral factory of these LSDV isolates were observed using transmission electron microscopy. Subsequently, the genomic characterization of this LSDV isolate was systematically analyzed for the first time using the bioinformatics software. The current study revealed that several mutations in the genome of LSDV isolates circulating in China were identified using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) analysis, an instrument to evaluate for continuous adaptive evaluation of a virus. Furthermore, phylogenomic analysis was used to identify the lineage using the whole genome sequences of 44 LSDV isolates. The result revealed that the isolates from China were closely similar to that of the LSDV isolates from Vietnam, which are divided into a monophyletic lineage sub-group I. The SNPs and Simplot analysis indicate no significant occurrence of the recombinant event on the genome of LSDV isolates in China. Notably, the live virus challenge experiment demonstrated that the pathogenic characterization of this LSDV isolate belongs to a virulent strain. Collectively, we gain the first insight into the evolutionary trajectory, spatiotemporal transmission, and pathogenic characterization of circulating LSDV in China. This study provides a unique reference for risk assessment, guiding diagnostics, and prevention in epizootic and non-epizootic areas., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Streptomyces sp. HNA39 is a promising candidate for the production of antineoplastic metabolites screened from a collection of 448 actinomycetes derived from coastal sediments. The complete genome sequence of HNA39 comprises a 7,351,753-bp linear chromosome with a GC content of 71.94%. Whole genome analysis reveals the presence of 29 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding secondary metabolites. Among them, a type I PKS BGC shows an 82% similarity with the cyclizidine (CLD) BGC identified from Streptomyces NCIB 11649. LC-MS profiles further supported the production of new CLD congeners. Bafilomycins were also found produced in abundance, corresponding to another type I PKS BGC highly homologous to that of bafilomycin B1 from S. lohii. CLDs are indolizidine alkaloids consisting a fused five- and six-membered ring system with an intriguing cyclopropane terminal linked by a trans-dienic chain. The cyclization mechanism of the cylopropyl ring, one of its pharmacophores, is still unknown. Genome sequencing of the new CLD producer and subsequent comparative analysis of their gene clusters would further our understanding of the chemistry behind cyclopropane formation., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Background: Delftia acidovorans is distributed widely in the environment and has the potential to promote the growth of plants and degrade organic pollutants. However, it is also an opportunistic pathogen for human and many reports demonstrated that D. acidovorans has strong resistance to aminoglycosides and polymyxins., Objective: The aim of this work was to reveal the antibiotic resistance genes and pathogenic genes in a novel conditional pathogenic strain-D. acidovorans B804, which was isolated from the radiation-polluted soil from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China., Methods: The antibiotic resistance test was performed according to the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and evaluated by the standards of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. The genome of D. acidovorans B804 was sequenced by a PacBio RS II and Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform in Shanghai Majorbio Biopharm Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China)., Results: The multidrug resistance phenotypes of D. acidovorans B804 was experimentally confirmed and its genome was sequenced. The total size of D. acidovorans B804 genome was 6,661,314 bp with a GC content of 66.73%. 403 genes associated with antibiotic resistances were predicted. Meanwhile, 89 pathogenic genes were also predicted and 17 of these genes might be capable of causing diseases to human, such as infections and salmonellosis., Conclusions: This genomic information can be used as a reference sequence for comparative genomic studies. The results provided more insights regarding the pathogenesis and drug resistance mechanism of D. acidovorans, which will be meaningful for developing more effective therapies toward D. acidovorans-related diseases., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Sidekick cell adhesion molecule 1 ( SDK1 ) gene belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) is reported to be associated with disease resistance. A novel missense mutation (XM_015469413.1: c.2678 A > G: p. Asp893Gly) in bovine SDK1 gene was observed in the Bovine Genome Variation Database (BGVD). The purpose of the current study was to determine the allelic frequency distribution of XM_015469413.1: c.2678 A > G: p. Asp893Gly and analyze its association with disease resistance in native Chinese cattle. Here, we explored the allele frequency of the missense mutation (M_015469413.1: c.2678 A > G: p. Asp893Gly) in 542 individuals from 27 Chinese indigenous cattle breeds using PCR and DNA sequencing methods. The frequency of the mutant allele (G) gradually decreased from the southern cattle groups to the northern cattle groups, whereas the frequency of the wild-type allele A showed an opposite pattern, consistent with the distribution of indicine and taurine cattle in China. Thus, our results proved that the bovine SDK1 gene might be candidate genes associated with disease resistance in Chinese cattle.

Background: Laribacter hongkongensis is a facultative anaerobic, non-fermentative, Gram-negative bacillus associated with community-acquired gastroenteritis and traveller's diarrhoea. No clinical MDR L. hongkongensis isolate has been reported yet.Methods: We performed WGS (PacBio and Illumina) on a clinical L. hongkongensis strain HLGZ1 with an MDR phenotype.Results: HLGZ1 was resistant to eight classes of commonly used antibiotics. Its complete genome was a single circular chromosome of 3 424 272 bp with a G + C content of 62.29%. In comparison with the reference strain HLHK9, HLGZ1 had a higher abundance of genes associated with DNA metabolism and recombination. Several inserts including two acquired resistance gene clusters (RC1 and RC2) were also identified. RC1 carried two resistance gene cassette arrays, aac(6')-Ib-cr-aadA2-Δqac-Δsul1-floR-tetR-tetG and arr-3-dfrA32-ereA2-Δqac-sul1, which shared significant nucleotide sequence identities with the MDR region of Salmonella Genomic Island 1 from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104. There was also an integron-like structure, intl1-arr3-dfrA27-Δqac-sul1-aph(3')-Ic, and a tetR-tetA operon located on RC2. MLST analysis identified HLGZ1 as ST167, a novel ST clustered with two strains previously isolated from frogs.Conclusions: This study provides insight into the genomic characteristics of MDR L. hongkongensis and highlights the possibilities of horizontal resistance gene transfer in this bacterium with other pathogens.

- Abstract
Background: Patients infected with HIV are at high risk of developing Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-related diseases. The genotype and viral biological behavior of EBV infection in patients with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) in China remain unclear. This study analyzed the characteristics of EBV in patients infected with HIV in southeastern China., Methods: A total of 162 HIV-infected patients and 52 patients without HIV were enrolled in this study. EBV viral load in blood was determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR. EBV typing was performed using saliva according to polymorphisms in the EBNA3C region. EBV LMP-1 carboxy terminus (C-ter) was sequenced, and compared with the epidemic strains in the world., Results: Among HIV infected patients, the EBV strain variant was mainly EBV-1, while EBV-2 had a higher viral load than EBV-1 (P = 0.001) and EBV-1/2 (P = 0.002). HIV infected patients had higher active virus replication. The EBV LMP-1 variants were mainly the China1 variant. HIV-infected patients had different nucleic acid positions of 30-bp deletion (del30) and had a higher incidence of high 33-bp tandem repeats (rep33) copies than non-HIV-infected patients. There was a difference in the mutations of EBV LMP-1 C-ter del30 and ins15 between HIV infected patients and the control group (P < 0.001)., Conclusion: In southeastern China, EBV in HIV-infected patients had higher active virus replication; EBV infection was mainly EBV-1, and EBV-2 infection has higher EBV virus load; hotspot mutations of LMP-1 C-ter were different between HIV-infected patients and non-HIV-infected patients., Trial Registration: This study was approved by the ethics committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Approval No. 2018764), and registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on 3 June 2019 (ChiCTR, ChiCTR1900023600, http://www.chictr.org.cn/usercenter.aspx )., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Ophiocordyceps lanpingensis (O. lanpingensis) belongs to the genus Ophiocordyceps , which is often found in Yunnan Province, China. This species is pharmacologically important for the treatment of renal disorders induced by oxidative stress and an inadequate immune response. In the present study, the mitogenome of O. lanpingensis was determined to be a circular molecule 117,560 bp in length, and to have 31% G + C content and 69% A + T content. This mitogenome comprised 82% of the whole genome that codes for significant genes. The protein-coding regions of the O. lanpingensis mitogenome, containing 24 protein-coding genes, were associated with respiratory chain complexes, such as 3 ATP-synthase complex F0 subunits (atp6, atp8, and atp9), 2 complex IV subunits/cytochrome c oxidases (cox2 and cox3), 1 complex III subunit (cob), 4 electron transport complex I subunits/NADH dehydrogenase complex subunits (nad1, nad4, nad5, and nad6), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rns, rnl), and 11 hypothetical/predicted proteins, i.e., orf609, orf495, orf815, orf47, orf150, orf147, orf292, orf127, orf349, orf452, and orf100. It was noted that all genes were positioned on the same strand. Further, 13 mitochondrial genes with respiratory chain complexes, which presented maximum similarity with other fungal species of Ophiocordyceps , were investigated. O. lanpingensis was compared with previously sequenced species within Ophiocordycepitaceae . Comparative analysis indicated that O. lanpingensis was more closely related to O. sinensis , which is one of the most remarkable and expensive herbs due to its limited availability and the fact that it is difficult to culture. Therefore, O. lanpingensis is an important medicinal resource that can be effectively used for medicinal purposes. More extensive metabolomics research is recommended for O. lanpingensis .

- Abstract
Chloroplast genomes for 3 Bidens plants endemic to China (Bidens bipinnata Linn., Bidens pilosa Linn., and Bidens alba var. radiata) have been sequenced, assembled and annotated in this study to distinguish their molecular characterization and phylogenetic relationships. The chloroplast genomes are in typical quadripartite structure with two inverted repeat regions separating a large single copy region and a small single copy region, and ranged from 151,599 to 154,478 bp in length. Similar number of SSRs and long repeats were found in Bidens, wherein mononucleotide repeats (A/T), forward and palindromic repeats were the most in abundance. Gene loss of clpP and psbD, IR expansion and contraction were detected in these Bidens plants. It seems that ndhE, ndhF, ndhG, and rpl32 from the Bidens plants were under positive selection while the majority of chloroplast genes were under purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 3 Bidens plants clustered together and further formed molophyletic clade with other Bidens species, indicating Bidens plants might be under radiation adaptive selection to the changing environment world-widely. Moreover, mutation hotspot analysis and in silico PCR analysis indicated that inter-genic regions of ndhD-ccsA, ndhI-ndhG, ndhF-rpl32, trnL_UAG-rpl32, ndhE-psaC, matK-rps16, rps2-atpI, cemA-petA, petN-psbM were candidate markers of molecular identification for Bidens plants. This study may provide useful information for genetic diversity analysis and molecular identification for Bidens species., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Objective: The burden of both general and drug-resistant tuberculosis in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas in China. To characterize the genetic structure and transmission risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in rural China, we used whole genome sequencing to analyze clinical strains collected from patients in two counties of Yichang for three consecutive years., Methods: From 2018 to 2020, sputum samples were collected for cultures from patients with suspected tuberculosis in Yidu and Zigui county, and DNA was extracted from the positive strains for genome sequencing. The online SAM-TB platform was used to identify the genotypes and drug resistance-related mutations of each strain, establish a phylogenetic tree, and calculated the genetic distances between pairwise strains. Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used as thresholds to identify transmission clusters. The risk of related factors was estimated by univariable and multivariable logistic regression., Results: A total of 161 out of the collected 231 positive strains were enrolled for analysis, excluding non-tuberculous mycobacterium and duplicate strains from the same patient. These strains belonged to Lineage 2 (92, 57.1%) and Lineage 4 (69, 42.9%), respectively. A total of 49 (30.4%) strains were detected with known drug resistance-related mutations, including 6 (3.7%) multidrug-resistant-TB (MDR-TB) strains and 11 (6.8%) RIF-resistant INH-susceptible TB (Rr-TB) strains. Six of the MDR/Rr-TB (35.3%) were also resistant to fluoroquinolones, which made them pre-extensively drug-resistant TB (pre-XDR-TB). There were another seven strains with mono-resistance to fluoroquinolones and one strain with resistance to both INH and fluoroquinolones, making the overall rate of fluoroquinolones resistance 8.7% (14/161). A total of 50 strains (31.1%) were identified as transmission clusters. Patients under 45 years old (adjusted odds ratio 3.46 [95% confidential intervals 1.28-9.35]), treatment-naive patients (6.14 [1.39-27.07]) and patients infected by lineage 4 strains (2.22 [1.00-4.91]) had a higher risk of transmission., Conclusion: The drug resistance of tuberculosis in rural China, especially to the second-line drug fluoroquinolones, is relatively serious. The standardized treatment for patients and the clinical use of fluoroquinolones warrant attention. At the same time, the recent transmission risk of tuberculosis is high, and rapid diagnosis and treatment management at the primary care needs to be strengthened., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Ji, Tao, Yu, Liu, Yu, Bai, Wan, Yang, Ma, Zhou, Niu, Zhou, Xiang, Chen, Xiang, Zhang, Jiang and Liu.)

- Abstract
Background: In August 2013, a virus strain (DH13M98) was isolated from Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles collected in Mangshi, the southwestern border area of Yunnan Province, China. The virus replicated and caused cytopathic effects (CPE) in Aedes albopictus (C6/36) cells, but not in baby hamster Syrian kidney (BHK-21) cells. Materials and Methods: Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) analysis revealed that the DH13M98 virus was a 10-segment double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus, with a "1-1-1-2-1-1-2-1" pattern. The full genome of the DH13M98 virus was sequenced by full-length amplification of complementary DNAs (FLAC). Results: Phylogenetic analysis of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (Pol), major subcore-shell (T2), and major core-surface (T13) protein showed that DH13M98 clustered with Umatilla virus (UMAV), and the amino acid (aa) sequences of DH13M98 shared more than 89.5% (Pol), 95% (T2), and 91.1% (T13) identity with UMAV. However, the aa identity of outer capsid protein one (OC1) of DH13M98 with other UMAV was 57.1-79.2%, suggesting that DH13M98 was UMAV, but distinct from other strains of UMAV from the United States, Japan, and Germany at OC1, and it may be a high variant strain of UMAV, even a new serotype. Conclusion: This is the first isolation of UMAV in China, which enriches the resources of virus species in China and provides new insights into the genetic diversity and geographical distribution of the virus.

- Abstract
The plant cuticle is the outermost layer of the aerial organs and an important barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses. The climate varies greatly between the north and south of China, with large differences in temperature and humidity, but Chinese chestnut is found in both regions. This study investigated the relationship between the wax layer of chestnut leaves and environmental adaptation. Firstly, semi-thin sections were used to verify that there is a significant difference in the thickness of the epicuticular wax layer between wild chestnut leaves in northwest and southeast China. Secondly, a whole-genome selective sweep was used to resequence wild chestnut samples from two typical regional populations, and significant genetic divergence was identified between the two populations in the CmCER1-1 , CmCER1-5 and CmCER3 genes. Thirty-four CER genes were identified in the whole chestnut genome, and a series of predictive analyses were performed on the identified CmCER genes. The expression patterns of CmCER genes were classified into three trends-upregulation, upregulation followed by downregulation and continuous downregulation-when chestnut seedlings were treated with drought stress. Analysis of cultivars from two resource beds in Beijing and Liyang showed that the wax layer of the northern variety was thicker than that of the southern variety. For the Y-2 ( Castanea mollissima genome sequencing material) cultivar, there were significant differences in the expression of CmCER1-1 , CmCER1-5 and CmCER3 between the southern variety and the northern one-year-grafted variety. Therefore, this study suggests that the CER family genes play a role in environmental adaptations in chestnut, laying the foundation for further exploration of CmCER genes. It also demonstrates the importance of studying the adaptation of Chinese chestnut wax biosynthesis to the southern and northern environments.

- Abstract
HCoV-OC43 is one of the mildly pathogenic coronaviruses with high infection rates in common population. Here, 43 HCoV-OC43 related cases with pneumonia were reported, corresponding genomes of HCoV-OC43 were obtained. Phylogenetic analyses based on complete genome, orf1ab and spike genes revealed that two novel genotypes of HCoV-OC43 have emerged in China. Obvious recombinant events also can be detected in the analysis of the evolutionary dynamics of novel HCoV-OC43 genotypes. Estimated divergence time analysis indicated that the two novel genotypes had apparently independent evolutionary routes. Efforts should be conducted for further investigation of genomic diversity and evolution analysis of mildly pathogenic coronaviruses.

- Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is one of the most important cytokines involved in various biological processes in vertebrates and invertebrates. In the present study, a new member of the TNF superfamily (named EsTNFSF) was identified from the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). The full-length cDNA of EsTNFSF is 2462 bp and encodes a polypeptide with 499 amino acids. The deduced EsTNFSF protein contained a transmembrane region and a conserved extracellular C-terminal TNF domain. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that EsTNFSF was closely related to other TNFSFs from crustaceans. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that EsTNFSF was expressed in all the tissues examined, and the highest expression was found in the hepatopancreas. The mRNA levels of EsTNFSF in hemocytes underwent a time-dependent and variable degree of enhancement after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Functionally, EsTNFSF knockdown by siRNA suppressed the transcriptional levels of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and two antimicrobial peptides, anti-lipopolysaccharide factor and crustin. Furthermore, purified recombinant EsTNFSF protein accelerated the bacterial clearance in vivo and inhibited the growth of V. parahaemolyticus and S. aureus in vitro. The results revealed that EsTNFSF, as an inducible immune response gene, plays a crucial role in the antibacterial immune defense of E. sinensis., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén) is one of the most destructive rice pests and has caused serious economic losses in China. To clarify the genetic differentiation and population genetic structure of this insect pest, we investigated the genomic polymorphisms, genetic differentiation, and phylogeography of 31 SBPH populations from 28 sampling sites from three climatic zones of China using double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq). In total, 2,813,221,369 high-quality paired-end reads from 306 individuals and 1925 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were obtained. Low levels of genetic diversity and significant genetic differentiation were observed among the SBPH populations, and three genetic clusters were detected in China. Neutrality tests and bottleneck analysis provided strong evidence for recent rapid expansion with a severe bottleneck in most populations. Our work provides new insights into the genetics of the SBPH and will contribute to the development of effective management strategies for this pest., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022.

- Abstract
Chydoridae are phytophilic-benthic microcrustaceans that make up a significant proportion of species diversity and play an important role in the littoral zone of freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Here, we provide the complete mitochondrial genome of Ovalona pulchella (King, 1853), determined by next-generation sequencing. The entire mitochondrial genome is 15,362 bp in length; this is the first sequenced mitochondrial genome in the family Chydoridae. The base composition and codon usage were typical of Cladocera species. The mitochondrial gene arrangement (37 genes) was not consistent with that of other Branchiopoda. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses supported each suborder and family of Branchiopoda as monophyletic groups. The relationships among the families were as follows: [(Leptestheriidae + Limnadiidae) + (Sididae + (Bosminidae + (Chydoridae + Daphniidae)))] + Triopsidae. The newly sequenced O. pulchella was most closely related to the family Daphniidae. The complete mitochondrial genome of O. pulchella also provides valuable molecular information for further analysis of the phylogeny of the Chydoridae and the taxonomic status of the Branchiopoda., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
