  • Village-Based Spatio-Temporal Cluster Analysis of the Schistosomiasis Risk
    Xia et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:136 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2059-y RESEARCH Open Access Village-based spatio-temporal cluster analysis of the schistosomiasis risk in the Poyang Lake Region, China Congcong Xia1,2,3,4, Robert Bergquist5, Henry Lynn1,2,3,4, Fei Hu6, Dandan Lin6, Yuwan Hao7, Shizhu Li7*, Yi Hu1,2,3,4* and Zhijie Zhang1,2,3,4* Abstract Background: The Poyang Lake Region, one of the major epidemic sites of schistosomiasis in China, remains a severe challenge. To improve our understanding of the current endemic status of schistosomiasis and to better control the transmission of the disease in the Poyang Lake Region, it is important to analyse the clustering pattern of schistosomiasis and detect the hotspots of transmission risk. Results: Based on annual surveillance data, at the village level in this region from 2009 to 2014, spatial and temporal cluster analyses were conducted to assess the pattern of schistosomiasis infection risk among humans through purely spatial(LocalMoran’s I, Kulldorff and Flexible scan statistic) and space-time scan statistics (Kulldorff). A dramatic decline was found in the infection rate during the study period, which was shown to be maintained at a low level. The number of spatial clusters declined over time and were concentrated in counties around Poyang Lake, including Yugan, Yongxiu, Nanchang, Xingzi, Xinjian, De’an as well as Pengze, situated along the Yangtze River and the most serious area found in this study. Space-time analysis revealed that the clustering time frame appeared between 2009 and 2011 and the most likely cluster with the widest range was particularly concentrated in Pengze County.

  • Genetic Variability of Mtdna Sequences in Chinese Native Chicken Breeds
    903 Genetic Variability of mtDNA Sequences in Chinese Native Chicken Breeds Z. G. Liu*, C. Z. Lei1, J. Luo1, C. Ding, G. H. Chen2, H. Chang2, K. H. Wang, X. X. Liu, X. Y. Zhang X. J. Xiao2 and S. L. Wu2 Poultry Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yangzhou, Jiangsu 225003, P. R. China ABSTRACT : The variability of mtDNA hypervariable segment I (HVS I) sequences was investigated in a total of 48 birds belonging to 12 Chinese native chicken breeds. Sixteen haplotypes were identified from 35 polymorphic nucleotide sites which accounted for 6.4% of a sequenced 544 bp fragment. Diversity analysis of the haplotypes showed that Tibetan, Langshan and Henan cockfight chicken had only one haplotype, while ancient haplotypes existed in Taihe silky and Chahua chicken. Phylogenetic analysis of the haplotypes suggested that Chinese native chicken breeds shared 5 maternal lineages and some breeds would share the same maternal lineage, regardless of their external features and ecological types. Both divergent and phylogenetic analysis of the haplotypes indicated the close genetic relationships between the Chinese native chicken breeds and G. g. gallus and G. g. spadiceus from different areas, which implied that G. g. gallus and G. g. spadiceus were the original ancestors of the Chinese native chicken breeds. (Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No. 7 : 903-909) Key Words : Chinese, Native Chicken, Jungle Fowl, mtDNA, Haplotype, Original Ancestor INTRODUCTION rate of mtDNA evolution was about 5 to 10 times faster than nuclear DNA, and its genes did not recombine. So Domestic chicken taxonomically belongs to Galliformes, mtDNA analysis has been used to investigate the genetic Pharsianidae, Gallus.

  • Female Education
    Chapter 4 Female Education 4.1 Female Education in Qing China up to the 1860s Debates on female education in ancient China have largely focused on socio- political ideologies related to female education, female writing, and biog- raphies of some famous, talented women.1 From the literature it would ap- pear that, in general, motives for females to seek education seem not to have changed much over time: girls mostly followed education for a variety of family-related reasons, such as providing early education for their sons, sup- porting their husbands (as the Chinese saying goes, “a good wife steers her hus- band clear of disaster”2), developing high moral standards, maintaining good relations with their in-laws, and improving their household skills. It was for these reasons that, among elite households, educated women were preferred as marriage partners. Generally speaking, for the majority of households, if it were financially possible, girls would be given the opportunity to study. The situation of female education is well described in the Qingsu Jiwen (清 俗纪闻, A record of Qing dynasty customs), a book written around 1800 by the Japanese official Akagawa Tadateru (中川忠英). In this book, he discusses the customs and social situation in several of the richer provinces of China, for example Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. He writes that affluent families would employ a private tutor to teach their daughters – starting from 7–8 years on – to read, write and compose poetry.3 Once engaged to be married, a girl’s edu- cation would shift to cover topics such as family responsibilities and ethics, practical aspects of housekeeping, and etiquette.4 Furthermore, in these richer provinces, because of the importance of commercial activities, a woman’s ca- pacity for reading, writing and arithmetic could also contribute to the fam- ily business.
