摘要

确定蜱虫最后一次进食的时间并将其归入特定的进食群组对于试图解释其种群动态非常重要;储存脂质的生化测量已被广泛用于此目的。然而,当将摄食史与行为或感染状况联系起来时,一种非破坏性的评估方法将很有价值,为此,以前的研究尝试使用形态计量指数。在任何一个蜕期,身体的硬壳部分都不会随着饥饿程度的增加而变化,而全硬壳部分则会,由此得出的比率应能衡量进食后的时间。本文旨在确定这种形态比率(此处称为饥饿指数)是否会随着蓖麻蜥(Ixodida: Ixodidae)的饥饿而发生可预测的变化。为此,研究人员于 2021 年 2 月从野外采集了 300 只蓖麻若虫,并将其置于 15°C 和 80% 相对湿度(RH)的加湿培养箱中进行饥饿培养。每两周随机抽取 50 只若虫冷冻杀死,然后用标准分光光度法测量脂质。饥饿指数和储存脂质都随着饥饿程度的增加而发生了显著变化,并且两者之间呈正相关。然而,在 9 周的时间里,形态测量比率的变化相对较小(11%),而且变异较大。因此,这些数据表明,形态测量结果充其量只能对蓖麻蜱个体在野外的饥饿状态进行大致分类。

Inferring the feeding history of the castor bean tick, Ixodes ricinus from lipid and body measurements.

The ability to determine when ticks last fed and assign them to a specific feeding cohort is important in attempts to explain their population dynamics; the biochemical measurement of stored lipid, has been widely used for this purpose. However, when relating feeding history to behaviour or infection status, a non-destructive approach to its assessment would be of value and, to this end, previous studies have attempted to use morphometric indices. Within any instar, the sclerotised scutal components of the body will not vary with increasing starvation while the alloscutal components will, and the resulting ratio should provide a measure of time since feeding. Here, the aim was to determine whether such a morphological ratio (described here as the hunger index) changed predictably with starvation in Ixodes ricinus L. (Ixodida: Ixodidae). For this a cohort of 300 I. ricinus nymphs was collected from the field in February 2021 and starved in a humidified incubator at 15°C and 80% relative humidity (RH). Every 2 weeks, 50 nymphs selected at random were removed and killed by freezing; morphometric measurement was followed by the measurement of lipid using a standard spectrophotometric approach. Both hunger index and stored lipid changed significantly with increasing starvation and were positively correlated with each other. However, the change in morphometric ratio was relatively slight (11%) over 9 weeks and the variation was high. The data suggest therefore that morphological measurements could be used to provide, at best, only broad categorisation of the hunger status of individual I. ricinus ticks in the field.

期刊介绍: Medical and Veterinary Entomology is the leading periodical in its field. The Journal covers the biology and control of insects, ticks, mites and other arthropods of medical and veterinary importance. The main strengths of the Journal lie in the fields of: -epidemiology and transmission of vector-borne pathogens changes in vector distribution that have impact on the pathogen transmission- arthropod behaviour and ecology- novel, field evaluated, approaches to biological and chemical control methods- host arthropod interactions. Please note that we do not consider submissions in forensic entomology.
