Background
Cysticercosis is a common parasitic disease, has wide distribution range and seriously threatens the development of animal husbandry and public health safety. The cysticercosis pisiformis is a common parasitic disease caused by the parasitosis of the middle-taeniasis pisiformis which is a stigmatic cysticercosis parasitic in rabbits. In China, the average infection rate of rabbits reaches 40%, the death rate is 4.0% -23.69%, and the development of rabbit breeding is seriously threatened. The cysticercus pisiformis is mainly parasitized on the liver, the omentum ventriculi, the mesenterium or the rectal posterior wall of the rabbit; the liver of a sick rabbit is damaged when the rabbit is infected by a large amount, and the rabbit clinically shows symptoms such as digestive disorder, inappetence, mental depression, emaciation, anemia and the like and dies suddenly when the rabbit is serious; in addition, pasteurellosis and the like can be generated secondarily, so that the feed return rate of the rabbits is reduced, and the economic benefit is reduced.
The tapeworm has a complex life history, and the complete life history can be completed by converting 2 hosts. Adults are usually parasitic in the small intestine of dogs, and eggs of the adults develop in the pregnancies of the adults and are released to the external environment along with the shedding of the pregnancies, thereby polluting food or water sources. After being swallowed by the rabbit, the eggs reach the liver along with the blood flow and move to the omentum majus, mesenterium and the like to develop into infectious cysticercus pisiformis. At present, China still faces a great problem in preventing and treating the disease, and screening and excavating specific drug targets and vaccine candidate molecules are urgently needed, so that a new means is provided for effective prevention, control and radical treatment of the disease. With the development of large-scale study of parasite functional genomes, gene function verification and novel drug analysis become bottlenecks in current parasite research. In the aspect of taenia pisiformis research, no effective stable cell line can be used, and a feasible in vitro evaluation model is not established yet.
In vitro culture is a valuable technical platform in the study of parasitology, and can carry out the related studies on parasite antigens, drug action, immune effect, parasite and host interaction and the like under intuitive and controllable conditions. In recent decades, with the continuous improvement and improvement of culture methods, the development of artificial culture technology research of parasites is promoted by establishing a suitable culture method by simulating certain factors and conditions of host organisms. However, the parasites are of various types and have complex life history, and no universal culture solution or uniform culture method is used for culturing the parasites in vitro.
The research on the taenia culture in vitro technology is relatively slow compared to protozoa, trematodes and nematodes. At present, live insect samples for researching bean-shaped cysticercus are mainly collected from naturally or experimentally infected rabbits, and the method has the following defects:
(1) the method for protecting the insects by means of the canine-rabbit circulating infection has high cost, large workload, great labor and more invested personnel; there are problems in safety and economy. In addition, the insect retention test period is long, and generally about 4 months are needed for completion.
(2) Depending on live cysticercus cellulosae samples in rabbits, the researches such as drug screening, drug effect evaluation and the like are not convenient to be carried out under intuitive or controllable conditions.
(3) Sufficient metabolic secretory antigens or exosomes cannot be collected at any time by depending on the cysticercus live insect sample in the rabbit.
Therefore, the feasible and stable method for culturing the lenticular cysticercus cellulosae in vitro is provided, the time and the cost for scientific research can be greatly shortened, and the method is beneficial to the research of antigen collection, drug screening, drug insecticidal effect analysis and the like in vitro; has important academic value and application significance for the research of tapeworm and the research of prevention and treatment technology thereof.

Therefore, in order to improve the culture efficiency of the phaeocystis piscifolia, the culture conditions are set as follows: constant temperature of 37 ℃ and 5% CO2Relative saturation humidity is about 70%. Continuously observing 1, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after culturing and every day, taking the turning-out swing of the cysticercus cellulosae and the expansion of the wall under a microscope as the survival judgment standard of the cysticercus cellulosae, observing and recording the survival time and the form change of the lenticular cysticercus cellulosae in vitro, measuring the size of the cysticercus cellulosae and taking pictures.

Example 2 comparative study of three culture solutions and the culture solution provided by the invention for culturing cysticercus pisiformis
In an ultra-clean workbench, 40 pretreated worm bodies with consistent sizes and states are selected and randomly divided into 4 groups and 10 groups, and the groups are put into corresponding culture solutions for culture, wherein the culture solutions comprise a PBS (phosphate buffer solution) culture group, an RPMI-1640+ 10% rabbit bile culture group and a complete culture solution 1 culture group. The culture conditions were set as follows: 37 ℃ and 5% CO2Each group of culture medium contained a diabody (penicillin 100U/mL, streptomycin 100. mu.g/mL) and amphotericin B (1.25. mu.g/mL). Repeating the culture for 3 times; continuously observing 5min, 1, 2, 12, 24, 36 and 48h after culture and every day, taking the turning-out swing of the cysticercus cellulosae and the expansion of the cyst wall under a microscope as the survival judgment standard of the larva, observing and recording the turning-out time, the turning-out rate, the in-vitro survival time and the form change of the lenticular cysticercus cellulosae, measuring the size of the larva and taking a picture.
The general morphology of the cysticercosis in each culture group was changed as follows: the cysticercus cellulosae before culture is oval, the vesicle is transparent, the filling degree is good, the size is about 0.4cm multiplied by 0.7cm, the liquid in the cyst cavity is clear, and milky punctate head knots can be seen. Good telescopic movement of the head segment can be seen under a light microscope (x 40, fig. 1, o). The turning rate of the head of the polypide cultured by PBS is low, and is only 33% after 12 h; generally survived to 7d, and the worm peristalsis stopped (fig. 1, a); the head section under the microscope is obviously hooked and arranged orderly. The rabbit bile has obvious promotion effect on the turning-out of the soyabean cysticercus coenurus, and the turning-out speed of the worm coenurus is high. Culturing for 15min, wherein the head and neck segments of RPMI-1640+ 10% rabbit bile group cysticercus cellulosae can be completely and naturally turned out from the bursa, and the turning-out rate of the head and neck segments is 100%; the neck node part is thin and extends out by about 4-6 mm, and the neck node part can twist automatically and obviously; the vesicle becomes small, the mobility of the body wall and the head segment sucking discs is good (figure 1, b); under the observation of the mirror, the surface of the cervical vertebra is smooth, the folds are uniform and fine, the small spines are obvious in protrusion, the texture is thick and the cervical vertebra is in a sawtooth shape. After the group of polypide is cultured for 24 hours, the activity of polypide is weakened, polypide vesicles become small and partially disappear, and no liquid is full; the obvious sucking disc, the top projection and two circles of punctiform hooks (figure 1, e) can be seen by observing the head segment under the mirror, the capsule wall is thin, the structure is fuzzy, and the degree of contraction is weakened. As the culture time is prolonged, the activity of the larva stops, and the cysticercus pisiformis of the bile culture group can survive for 48h at most. The turning-out of the head section of the RPMI-1640 (figure 1, c) and complete culture solution 1 (figure 1, d) culture group worms is slow, the turning-out rate is low, and the culture time is only 20% after 12 h; however, as the culture time is prolonged, the turnover rate of the first node can be improved to 70%. The complete culture solution 1 group of insects has good physical activity; the suction cup of the knob is clearly visible under the scope of observation, but the small hook is not visible (fig. 1, f). The turning-out state of the head section of the worm body can be influenced by temperature and light; the cultured worms have different sizes and large differences, and the length of the worms ranges from 1.0 cm to 3.8cm, but most of the worms are 1.5 cm to 2 cm.
The most obvious difference between the individual culture groups is the change of vesicles with the increase of the culture time. The vesicles mainly undergo morphological changes, which are expressed as longer lengths, compared to those before culture; wherein the complete culture solution 1 group of polypide vesicles has good shape maintenance effect. Culturing in vitro for 3 months, wherein the survival rate of the insect body reaches more than 90 percent; as can be seen from Table 1, the length of the vesicle in the complete culture solution 1 group is measured to be 1.83 + -0.10 cm, the width is measured to be 0.85 + -0.05 cm, the vesicle filling degree is good, the vesicle liquid is clear, the edge of the vesicle wall is complete, and the vesicle can freely stretch and contract; the size difference of the wormhole vesicles with other culture groups is obvious (P is less than 0.05); the vesicle of the other cultured worm bodies is obviously reduced, the cyst fluid is reduced or disappeared, the cyst wall is thinned and loosened, and the edge is not integral.
The detection result shows that the insect body cultured by other culture methods has poor in-vitro culture state and short survival time, and the long-acting culture system of the complete culture solution 1 has good effects of maintaining the in-vitro survival activity of the insect body, prolonging the survival time, enhancing the adaptability of the insect body to the external environment and improving the survival rate. Can meet the requirements of different experimental purposes.
