[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a device for breeding and managing micro organisms such as ticks of this kind, after placing wet water in a large test tube, placing a sponge on it, and placing a tick on it By attaching a cotton plug, it was used as a tick breeding container or egg laying container. In addition, for exchanging containers as rearing containers and attaching ticks by the ear bag method, ticks were taken out from the containers little by little into bats or ear bags. Here, tick attachment by the ear bag method is to put mites in a cloth bag or the like and put them on the ears of livestock or the like to cause blood saturation.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the method of breeding by subculture management using the breeding equipment as described above, mites are vulnerable to drying and mold, so prevention of drying and prevention of mold generation due to fallen shells and excrement caused by molting of mites in the breeding container. Therefore, it must be replaced with a new breeding container as needed, but there is a problem that ticks adhering to the breeding container are difficult to take out and work efficiency is low.
[0004]
Further, when sucking and collecting ticks into a new breeding container, it is necessary to temporarily remove them from the container, but there is a problem that ticks are likely to escape due to cloud runaway. A suction device is used to collect and collect ticks, but there is a problem that ticks gather at the bottom of the suction joint connected to a container such as a test tube, and there is a high risk of ticks being released when the suction joint and the stopper are replaced. Furthermore, in order to carry out systematic passage of ticks, it is necessary to manage one maturity mite per breeding container, which causes a problem that the breeding space becomes bulky.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is to perform systematic passage management work of micro organisms such as mites easily, safely and quickly, An object of the present invention is to provide a breeding method capable of raising ticks and the like efficiently. Another object of the present invention is to provide an instrument for selecting and collecting micro-organisms such as ticks, a breeding container that can be bred efficiently, and a spawning container.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the method for raising microbes such as ticks according to the present invention, , Having a space at the center and a wall containing a substance that avoids the micro-organisms at the outer periphery. It is placed in a sorter and separated from unwanted objects such as dead bodies by voluntary movement and collected. The collected micro-organisms are kept in a breeding container for a certain period of time. It is characterized by putting eggs in a spawning container. In order to sort mites and the like, a tick or the like is put into a central portion of the sorting device having a wall portion containing moisture on the outer periphery with a container-shaped sorting device and separated from unnecessary objects such as dead bodies. The collection of ticks or the like may be performed by directly sucking into a breeder using an aspirator or the like, or may be collected using a dropper or the like and placed in the breeder.
[0007]
According to this breeding method, ticks are clouded and have the property of avoiding moisture, so that they can be easily sorted from unnecessary items such as dead bodies, excrement, and molted shells in a sorting container. Moreover, since it can be sucked into the breeding container and can be easily put in, and the breeding container can be easily replaced for preventing dirt, the breeding container can be kept in a clean environment and can be prevented from being weakened or dead. And the mites etc. which were raised and grown for a predetermined period are taken out from the breeding container and put in the egg-laying container, and egg-laying management can be performed intensively in a small space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, as a breeding container and a sorting tool used for a method for breeding micro organisms such as ticks according to the present invention, an embodiment of a sorting container as a container-like tool for sorting ticks will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. . FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sorting container according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.
[0017]
In FIGS. 1 and 2, the sorting container 1 temporarily isolates mites in the container by utilizing the property of avoiding water of mites when sorting and recovering micro organisms such as spider mites. The sorting container 1 has a container shape composed of a plastic or metal bottom wall 2 and an outer peripheral wall 3, and a circumferential inner peripheral wall 4 at a predetermined distance inward from the circumferential outer wall 3. And the height of the inner peripheral wall 4 is set smaller than that of the outer peripheral wall 3. The space inside the inner peripheral wall 4 is a tick isolation part 5. For example, when the sorting container 1 is formed from a white synthetic resin into a circular flat container shape, it is easy to find mites.
[0018]
The outer peripheral side of the mite isolation part 5 is a ring-shaped space sandwiched between the outer peripheral wall 3 and the inner peripheral wall 4, and a ring-shaped sponge 6 is fitted in this space as a water-absorbing material. The sponge 6 is sufficiently water-containing during use. Thus, the sorting container 1 has the space of the isolation part 5 in the center part, and the ring-shaped sponge 6 containing moisture is located on the outer peripheral part to be a wall part. Note that the sponge 6 may contain alcohol having a property of avoiding mites.
[0019]
The height of the sponge 6 is lower than the outer peripheral wall 3 and higher than the inner peripheral wall 4. The inner peripheral wall 4 has a certain height in order to prevent mites from escaping each other by building a bridge and escaping. The water-absorbing material is not limited to sponge, and any material may be used as long as it contains water sufficiently, such as cotton and glass wool. Moreover, it is preferable that the sponge 6 has the protrusion part 6a which covers the upper end surface of the inner peripheral wall 4 as shown in FIG.
[0020]
The operation of the sorting container 1 for sorting ticks and the like of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below. When the mites being raised are put into the isolation part 5 in the central part of the sorting container 1, dead mites, mite excrement, molted shells, etc. are concentrated in the central part together with the surviving mites. And as time passes, mites run away in all directions, leaving only unnecessary items in the center. When the mite that has climbed the inner peripheral wall 4 touches the sponge 6 that has absorbed water, the mite retreats and returns to the bottom surface, so that the living mites gather at the periphery of the bottom surface and are separated by spontaneous movement. For this reason, it is possible to separate and collect experimental ticks by aspirating this portion, and to sort them out from unwanted materials.
[0021]
Next, an example of a cylindrical breeding container as a breeding container for mites and the like will be described with reference to FIGS. The breeding container 10 includes a transparent or translucent cylindrical case 11, and a cylindrical tick floor 12 is fitted as a breeding floor formed of a sponge or the like at the center of the cylindrical case 11. A water supply tank 13 is inserted as water supply means so as to come into contact, and a bottom plug 14 that supports the water supply tank 13 is fitted and fixed to the lower end of the cylindrical case 11, and a sponge or the like is formed on the upper end of the cylindrical case 11. A breathable upper lid 15 is fitted, and a space between the upper lid 15 and the tick floor 12 is a breeding space 11a. The tick floor 12 supplies water to the breeding space 11a to prevent the mites from drying, and also has a role of receiving mites and mites carcasses and shells.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 3C, the water supply tank 13 is composed of a water supply container 13a having an outer diameter that is loosely inserted into the cylindrical case 11, and a water absorption core 13b fitted into the upper opening of the water supply container. The The water absorption core 13b sucks up water in the water supply container and supplies moisture to the sponge tick floor 12, and the upper part is a large diameter part fitted to the inner periphery of the water supply container 13a. A small-diameter portion 13c that hangs downward from the water and sucks up water is formed integrally with a water-absorbing material such as a sponge.
[0023]
The bottom plug 14 is formed of a truncated cone-shaped rubber plug and is tightly fitted to the lower opening of the cylindrical case 11 to prevent the water supply tank 13 from falling. The upper lid 15 is made of sponge, cotton, or the like, and transmits air to the mites being raised on the tick floor 12, and when the mites climb the inner surface of the cylindrical case 11, the cylindrical case Preventing escape from inside.
[0024]
The breeding container 10 further includes a piston 16 inserted into the cylindrical case 11 shown in FIG. The piston 16 is a push-up portion 16a whose upper portion is loosely fitted to the inner surface of the cylindrical case 11, the lower end is an operation portion 16b that is pushed by a finger, and the middle is a connecting shaft portion 16c. The piston 16 is inserted from below into the cylindrical case 11 with the bottom plug 14 and the water supply tank 13 removed, and as shown in FIG. 4, the tick floor 12 is pushed up and moved out of the cylindrical case 11, and the tick is stored in the container. It is something that goes out. By removing the bottom plug 14 and the water supply tank 13 of the breeding container 10 and inserting the piston 16, the breeding container 10 becomes an injection type.
[0025]
Since this cylindrical breeding container 10 can be fed with water by removing the bottom plug 14 and removing the water supply tank 13 while breeding ticks on the tick floor 12, it is possible to easily manage breeding of ticks. Further, the configuration is simple, and when all are removed, only the cylindrical case 11 is obtained, and the cleaning is easy and can be kept clean. And when moving the tick being reared, the bottom plug 14 is removed, the water supply tank 13 is pulled out, the piston 16 is inserted from below, the mite floor 12 is pushed up and pushed out together with the upper lid 15 to move easily. .
[0026]
By winding or wrapping the side surface or the entire surface of the tick floor 12 with a net (not shown) made of a slippery material such as polyethylene, the tick floor 12 can be smoothly extruded with reduced frictional resistance when sliding the tick floor. In other words, if the cylindrical case 11 is made of glass, fine scratches that cannot be seen on the inner wall surface are caused by washing, and when the tick floor 12 is pushed up by the piston 16, friction between the inner wall surface and the tick floor occurs, causing tick. It is possible to prevent the tick floor 12 from being smoothly extruded due to the twisting of the floor.
[0027]
As an embodiment of the collecting device according to the present invention, an example of a suction joint 20 that is attached to the cylindrical case 11 in order to put mites in the breeding container 10 shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. The suction joint 20 is a joint device for efficiently collecting and putting ticks and the like into the injection-type breeding container 10 described above, and a cylindrical wall surface having an outer diameter that can be inserted into the cylindrical case 11 of the breeding container 10. A container-like holder 21 that opens downward, a lower plug 22 that functions as a temporary plug formed from a sponge that closes the lower opening of the holder 21, a rubber plug that is connected to the upper portion of the holder 21 by a set screw 21 a, and the like The upper plug 23 is provided. One setscrew 21a may be provided at the center of the holder 21, or two or a plurality of setscrews may be provided on the circumference.
[0028]
The upper stopper 23 has an inverted truncated cone shape, and the outer diameter of the upper end is formed larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical case 11 of the breeding container 10. The lower plug 22 has a truncated cone shape, and the diameter of the lower end is formed larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical case 11 of the breeding container 10. The lower stopper is not limited to the truncated cone shape, and may be formed in a cylindrical shape. In this case, the outer diameter of the lower plug is formed larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical case and is fitted to the inner periphery of the holder, and is in close contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical case so as to close the gap.
[0029]
The holder 21 is made of transparent plastic, metal or the like, and the lower opening is closed by a lower plug 22 to form an internal space 24. Two cuts 25 are formed in the axial direction from below on the outer peripheral surface of the holder 21, and the cuts 25 are formed so as to reach the internal space 24. Therefore, a tool such as tweezers can be inserted into the internal space 24 while avoiding the lower plug 22. The long suction pipe 26 penetrating the upper plug 23 also penetrates the lower plug 22. Another short suction pipe 27 penetrating the upper plug 23 opens into the internal space 24. The suction joint 20 functions as a suction joint of an aspirator (not shown) that collects ticks and the like and collects them in the breeding container 10.
[0030]
In addition, as for the suction joint, like the suction joint 20A shown in FIG. 5C, the holder 21A may be formed from a cylinder, and the upper plug 23A may be fitted and connected to the upper opening of the holder 21A. In this example, the number of cuts 25A formed in the holder 21A is one, but it goes without saying that two may be used.
[0031]
When the suction joint 20 is used, the upper lid 15 of the breeding container 10 shown in FIG. 3 is removed, and the lower stopper 22 and the holder 21 of the suction joint 20 are opened from the upper opening of the cylindrical case 11 as shown in FIG. Is inserted and the upper plug 23 is fitted. Then, when a suction device (not shown) is connected to the suction pipe 27 of the upper plug 23 with a connecting pipe, and the mite is sucked through the tube connected to the suction pipe 26, the mite is in contact with the tick floor 12 and the lower plug 22 as indicated by an arrow Y1. It is put in the breeding space 11a between and the exhaust can be taken out as shown by the arrow Y2. When the mites are sucked into the breeding container, the water tank 13 is removed, and after the mites are sucked and collected, the water tank 13 is inserted, and the bottom plug 14 is fitted and fixed to the cylindrical case 11.
[0032]
After the ticks are collected by suction and placed in the breeding space 11a, the suction joint 20 is pulled up to a position where the lower plug 22 coincides with the upper end of the cylindrical case 11, as shown in FIG. Then, a tool 28 such as tweezers is inserted into the internal space 24 through the notch 25, and the upper part is pulled out from the holder 21 of the suction joint 20 while pressing the lower plug 22 to prevent movement. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6C, since the lower stopper 22 remains in the cylindrical case 11, the mite is blocked by the lower stopper 22 to be prevented from moving upward, and the mite can be prevented from escaping. Since the lower plug 22 is formed of a sponge, the hole 26a from which the suction pipe 26 penetrating the lower plug 22 is naturally closed by a restoring force, so that mites can be prevented from escaping.
[0033]
As an embodiment of the egg-laying container according to the present invention, an example of an egg-laying bed in which mites lay eggs will be described with reference to FIGS. The egg-laying bed 30 includes a rectangular lower case 31 that opens upward, an intermediate holder part 32 that is detachably fitted into the opening of the lower case 31 to form a plurality of compartments, and an upper case that covers the upper part of the intermediate holder part 33. The lower case 31 stores water for supplying water to ticks bred for egg laying, and is composed of, for example, a rectangular plastic case.
[0034]
The intermediate holder portion 32 includes an outer peripheral wall portion 32a that fits inside the lower case 31, a bottom wall portion 32b that forms the inner bottom surface of the outer peripheral wall portion, and a flange portion 32c that extends outside the outer peripheral wall portion. When the flange portion 32 c is in contact with the upper end of the lower case 31, a space S that is a water supply section is formed between the bottom wall portion 32 b and the bottom surface of the lower case 31. A plurality of sections used as the egg-laying space 35 are formed by a circumferential wall portion 32d extending upward from the bottom wall portion 32b. In the illustrated example, 24 circumferential wall portions are formed. For example, one partition located at the corner portion has a bottom wall portion that penetrates and serves as a water supply portion 34 for the space S of the lower case 31. A through hole 36 is formed at the center of the bottom wall portion 32b of each section, and the space S of the lower case 31 and the plurality of egg-laying spaces 35 communicate with each other. On the lower surface of the upper case 33, a circumferential protrusion 33a that fits to the outer periphery of the circumferential wall portion 32d is formed to prevent the mite from escaping upward and moving to the adjacent compartment.
[0035]
A plurality of egg-laying spaces 35 are covered with a mesh material 37 to support the rise of ticks and prevent the ticks from rolling over. For example, the mesh material 37 is formed in a container shape in which gauze is pushed in with a finger and the upper part is opened. However, the mesh material 37 is not limited to this and may be a container formed in a mesh shape with a synthetic resin. In the egg-laying space 35, water supplied to the lower case 31 below is vaporized and rises from the through-hole 36 to maintain an appropriate amount of water, thus providing an environment suitable for egg-laying. Since the plurality of egg-laying spaces 35 are arranged vertically and horizontally in the horizontal direction, it is possible to easily grasp the status of the mites and the egg-laying condition at a glance.
[0036]
In the method for raising micro organisms such as ticks according to the present invention, as a first step, the micro organisms such as ticks are separated from unnecessary substances and sorted using the sorting container 1 shown in FIGS. In other words, ticks die weakly during breeding, husks scatter due to molting, or are covered with excrement and become filthy. Live mites are selected from such a filthy rearing environment. For example, when a mite bred in a test tube is placed in the center of the sorting container 1, the mite is clouded in all directions with time, and the fast-moving mite approaches the sponge 6 containing water up the inner peripheral wall 4. However, ticks have the property of avoiding water, so when they come into contact with the sponge 6, they move backward and are separated and concentrated on the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the sorting container 1 by spontaneous movement. As described above, mites may be separated by including a low-concentration alcohol in the sponge 6 as a wall.
[0037]
As a second step, the mites separated on the outer periphery of the sorting container 1 are put into the cylindrical breeding container 10. At this time, the suction joint 20 is used as a collecting instrument that is connected to the upper opening of the breeding container 10 and sucks and collects mites. The upper stopper 23 of the suction joint 20 is fitted into the upper opening of the cylindrical case 11 of the breeding container 10, a suction device such as an electric suction pump is connected to the short suction pipe 27, and the tube connected to the long suction pipe 26 is connected to the sorting container 1. Approach the isolated tick part of. When the aspirator is operated, ticks are sucked into the breeding space 11a of the breeding container 10 through the tube, and exhaust gas is discharged from the short pipe through the sucker. A filter may be installed in the middle of the suction pipe 27 to prevent mites from being sucked into the suction device.
[0038]
After the tick has been sucked into the breeding container 10, the suction joint 20 is removed from the breeding container 10. As described above, the suction joint 20 is pulled up and a tool 28 such as tweezers is inserted into the notch 25 to leave the lower plug 22. Therefore, mites can be prevented from escaping from the breeding container 10. The lower stopper 22 functions as an upper lid of the breeding container 10 as it is. That is, ventilation of the breeding space 11a and escape of ticks are prevented.
[0039]
As a third step, ticks and the like are bred in the breeding container 10 for a predetermined period. The mite grows in a clean state in the breeding space 11a that receives moisture from the water supply tank 13 in the breeding container 10 and has appropriate humidity. At first, young ticks with a body length of about 0.8 mm have been bred for more than 4 weeks, and then shed to become young ticks if they are saturated. It grows to such an extent that it can be easily confirmed visually.
[0040]
As a fourth step, the breeding container 10 is replaced in order to keep the tick breeding environment clean as necessary in the third step. In this case, the bottom plug 14 is removed, the water supply tank 13 is removed, the piston 16 is inserted from the lower opening of the cylindrical case 11, and the tick floor 12 is taken out from the upper opening of the cylindrical case 11. Then, for example, using an aspirator, ticks are placed in the washed cylindrical case 11 in which a new tick floor is set or in a new breeding container 10.
[0041]
As a fifth step, ticks and the like raised and grown in the breeding container 10 are replaced with the egg-laying bed 30 which is a egg-laying container. The bottom plug 14 of the breeding container 10 is removed, the water supply tank 13 is removed, and the piston 16 is inserted into the cylindrical case 11 from below. When the piston 16 is pushed up, the tick floor 12 rises, and the tick moves upward together with the tick floor 12 and is put out of the cylindrical case 11 while being sandwiched between the upper lid 15 or the lower plug 22. In this manner, the ticks that are easily taken out of the breeding container 10 by the piston 16 are sufficiently saturated and then put into one spawning space 35 of the spawning bed 30. Saturated mites have a body length of about 5 to 10 mm and lay thousands of eggs in the spawning space 35. The spawning space 35 is prevented from moving mites by the protrusion 33a of the upper case 33, so that individual passage management can be performed reliably.
[0042]
As described above, the above-described method for breeding micro-organisms such as ticks can be managed safely and quickly from eggs to young ticks, from young ticks to young ticks to adult ticks. In addition, mature adult ticks can be saturated and individually managed in a spawning bed to lay eggs, allowing individual passage of ticks and intensive management of mature ticks to be performed easily and in a space-saving manner. be able to.
[0043]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various designs can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention described in the claims. It can be changed. For example, in a cylindrical breeding container, an example of a water supply tank is shown as a water supply means. However, cotton dampened with water may be placed in a cylindrical case to prevent drying. In this case, when the cotton is dry, the bottom plug is removed, the cotton is taken out, and water is supplied. Moreover, you may make it provide the notch | incision of the holder of a suction joint in several places. In addition, although the example of the mite was shown as a micro organism, it is needless to say that it can be applied not only to the mite but also to a micro organism such as an ant or a spider.
[0044]
Further, the projection 33a is provided on the upper case 33 of the egg-laying bed 30 so as to prevent the movement of ticks. However, the upper end of the circumferential wall 32d is in contact with the inner surface of the upper case 33 so that the ticks move. You may comprise so that it may prevent. Further, the protrusion of the upper case may be fitted to the inner peripheral side of the circumferential wall portion, and a thin sponge or the like may be attached to the inner surface of the upper case to prevent the mites from escaping.
[0045]
【The invention's effect】
As can be understood from the above description, according to the method for breeding micro-organisms such as ticks according to the present invention, breeding management for subculture of ticks can be performed easily, safely and quickly.
