  • RDL Mutations in Guangxi Anopheles Sinensis Populations Along The
    Liu et al. Malar J (2020) 19:23 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-020-3098-y Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access RDL mutations in Guangxi Anopheles sinensis populations along the China–Vietnam border: distribution frequency and evolutionary origin of A296S resistance allele Nian Liu1,2, Xiangyang Feng3* and Xinghui Qiu1* Abstract Background: Malaria is a deadly vector-borne disease in tropical and subtropical regions. Although indigenous malaria has been eliminated in Guangxi of China, 473 confrmed cases were reported in the Northern region of neighbouring Vietnam in 2014. Considering that frequent population movement occurs across the China–Vietnam border and insecticide resistance is a major obstacle in disease vector control, there is a need to know the genotype and frequency of insecticide resistance alleles in Anopheles sinensis populations along the China–Vietnam border and to take action to prevent the possible migration of insecticide resistance alleles across the border. Methods: Two hundred and eight adults of An. sinensis collected from seven locations in Guangxi along the China– Vietnam border were used in the investigation of individual genotypes of the AsRDL gene, which encodes the RDL gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor subunit in An. sinensis. PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis was deployed to genotype codon 345, while direct sequencing of PCR prod- ucts was conducted to clarify the genotypes for codons 296 and 327 of the AsRDL gene. The genealogical relation of AsRDL haplotypes was analyzed using Network 5.0. Results: Three putative insecticide resistance related mutations (A296S, V327I and T345S) were detected in all the seven populations of An.

  • Biplot Evaluation of Test Environments and Identification of Mega
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biplot evaluation of test environments and identification of mega-environment for sugarcane Received: 23 April 2015 Accepted: 28 September 2015 cultivars in China Published: 22 October 2015 Jun Luo1, Yong-Bao Pan2, Youxiong Que1, Hua Zhang1, Michael Paul Grisham2 & Liping Xu1 Test environments and classification of regional ecological zones into mega environments are the two key components in regional testing of sugarcane cultivars. This study aims to provide the theoretical basis for test environment evaluation and ecological zone division for sugarcane cultivars. In the present study, sugarcane yield data from a three-year nationwide field trial involving 21 cultivars and 14 pilot test locations were analysed using both analysis of variance (ANOVA) and heritability adjusted-genotype main effect plus genotype-environment interaction (HA-GGE) biplot. The results showed that among the interactive factors, the GE interaction had the greatest impact, while the genotype and year interaction showed the lowest impact. Kaiyuan, Lincang and Baoshan of Yunnan, Zhangzhou and Fuzhou of Fujian, and Hechi, Liuzhou and Chongzuo of Guangxi, and Lingao of Hainan were ideal test environments with a demonstrated high efficiency in selecting new cultivars with a wide adaptability, whereas Baise of Guangxi was not. Based on HA-GGE biplot analysis, there are three ecological sugarcane production zones in China, the Southern China Inland Zone, the Southwestern Plateau Zone, and the Southern Coastal Zone. The HA-GGE biplot analysis here presents the ideal test environments and also identifies the mega-environment for sugarcane cultivars in China. Environmental changes affect both crop growth and yield due to significant genotype × environment interactions (GE)1–5.

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.

  • LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG the CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University William J
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 33.2 ― October 2010 LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG THE CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University Abstract The diversity of Tai languages along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam has long fascinated scholars, and led some to postulate that the original Tai homeland was located in this area. In this article I present evidence that this linguistic diversity can be explained in large part not by “divergent local development” from a single proto-language, but by the intrusion of dialects from elsewhere in relatively recent times as a result of migration, forced trans-plantation of populations, and large-scale military operations. Further research is needed to discover any underlying linguistic diversity in the area in deep historical time, but a prior task is to document more fully and systematically the surface diversity as described by Gedney and Haudricourt among others. Keywords diversity, homeland, migration William J. Gedney, in his influential article “Linguistic Diversity Among Tai Dialects in Southern Kwangsi” (1966), was among a number of scholars to propose that the geographical location of the proto-Tai language, the Tai Urheimat, lay along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam. In 1965 he had 1 written: This reviewer’s current research in Thai languages has convinced him that the point of origin for the Thai languages and dialects in this country [i.e. Thailand] and indeed for all the languages and dialects of the Tai family, is not to the north in Yunnan, but rather to the east, perhaps along the border between North Vietnam and Kwangsi or on one side or the other of this border.
