《GB/T 40256-2021牡蛎马尔太虫病诊断规程 显微镜检查组织法》由TC156(全国水产标准化技术委员会)归口,TC156SC11(全国水产标准化技术委员会水产养殖病害防治分会)执行,主管部门为农业农村部。
Introduction
Technical Background of the Standard
Martei disease is an important parasitic disease of bivalve molluscs and is listed by OIE as a reportable aquatic animal disease. This standard replaces part of SC/T7207.3-2007 and standardizes the microscope tissue method as an independent diagnostic method for the first time, solving the technical connection problem between on-site rapid detection and laboratory diagnosis.
Comparison of core detection methods
| Technical parameters | Tissue print detection method | Histopathological detection method |
|---|---|---|
| Detection cycle | 2-3 hours | 48-72 hours |
| Worm detection stage | Early stage (4-8μm) and cyst stage (20-40μm) | Worms at various developmental stages of the digestive tract |
| Staining characteristics | Giemsa staining: cytoplasmic blue/nuclear red | H&E staining: basophilic cytoplasm/eosinophilic nucleus |
| Diagnostic value | On-site screening | Basis for diagnosis |
Key technical points
1. Sample processing specifications
Differentiate sampling according to the growth stage of shellfish: Visceral mass is taken from juvenile shellfish, Stomach/intestine/digestive gland/adductor muscle needs to be separated from adult shellfish. DAFA fixative (ethanol-formalin-acetic acid system) must be prepared and used immediately, and the fixation time should not exceed 24 hours.
2. Microscopic diagnostic features
The development of refractory Maltese shows obvious stages:
• Larva stage: 4-8μm in diameter, mostly distributed in the gastric epithelium
• Cyst stage: 20-40μm in diameter, concentrated in the digestive gland
• Diagnostic structure: refringent bodies are the key identification feature
Implementation recommendations
- Seasonal prevention and control: Strengthen monitoring when the water temperature is >17℃, and increase the sampling frequency during the high temperature period in summer
- Result cross-validation: It is recommended that positive samples be reviewed in combination with the SC/T7207.3-2007 electron microscopy method
- Biosafety: Live shellfish from the epidemic area need to be isolated and observed to prevent the introduction of type O/M strains
Technology Evolution Analysis
This standard has major improvements over the 2007 version:
1. Added Mayer-Bennett Hematoxylin staining formula (Appendix A.2)
2. Clarified the thresholds for determining parasites at different developmental stages
3. Added molecular biological confirmation requirements for suspected cases in non-endemic areas
