AimTo evaluate the efficiency of gene amplification technique used in detecting the specimens colleted from rodents to identify natural epidemic foci of scrub typlus. MethodMice of Kunining strain were experimentally infected by a certain amount of Oriential tsutsugamushi. The specimens of blood clot and spleen from the infected animals were detected by nested polymerase chain reaction(nPCR)specific to O. T sutsugamush at the day 3,6 and 9 of post-infection. Then the technique was used for detection of samples collected from field. As an infected index ,the specimen was considered to be positive only if a 88-bp DNA fragment from Sta 58kDa gene of O. Tsutsugamushi could be produced. According to the study ,it was estimated whether or not that the sampling area is a natural epidemic focus of the disease. ResultsThe specimens of both blood clot and spleen from the mica at day 3 of post-infecction showed negative to the specific PCR product ,but positive when detected at day 6 and hereafter. Of 111 spleen samples from the field collections in the northwest of Fujian province,one was positive, and another positive sample was in the 29 blood clots from Jiangxi province. It is demonstrated that these areas have been the natural epidemic foci. Conclusion The nPCR method is of highly sensitive and specific to be used in the etiologic study on specimens from field rats.

One of the important approaches to structure analysis is protein fold recognition, which is oftenapplied when there is no significant sequence similarity between structurally similar proteins. A framework with athree-layer support vector machines fusion network (SFN) is presented. The framework is applied to 27-classprotein fold recognition from primary structure of proteins. SFN uses support vector machines as memberclassifiers, and adopts All-Versus-All as multi-class categorization. Six groups of features are divided into majorand minor ones by SFN, and several diversity fusion schemes are correspondingly built. The final decision is madeby dynamic selection of the results of all fusion schemes. When it is still difficult to know what kind of fusion offeature groups can achieve good prediction,SFN is a dependable solution by selecting the optimal fusion offeature groups automatically, which can ensure the best recognition. Overall recognition system achieves 61.04%fold prediction accuracy on the independent test dataset. The results and the comparison with other approachesdemonstrate the effectiveness of SFN, and thus encourage its further exploration.
