Classical swine fever is one of the most important infectious diseases that endanger the health of pigs.It has such characteristics as acuteness,heat and high contact,causing great economic losses to the world pig industry.At present,the traditional vaccination is still the main means to prevent classical swine fever.Although traditional vaccines (such as C-strain) play a huge role in the prevention and control of classical swine fever,some shortcomings exist,such as the inability to differentiate between wild-type and vaccinated animals and the immune failure of classical swine fever.Therefore,the development of a new type of vaccine against classical swine fever is of great significance.With the continuous development of molecular biology technology and recombinant DNA technology,the research on genetic engineering vaccines has been continuously deepened.Six kinds of new classical swine fever vaccines such as subunit vaccines,nucleic acid vaccines,recombinant live vaccine vectors,gene deletion vaccines,full-length infectious cDNA marker vaccines and synthetic peptide vaccines have been developed.Compared with the traditional vaccine,the new vaccine is cheap,safe,efficient,easy to transport and save and could distinguish between wild-type virus infection and vaccine immunization.The authors review the research progress of six kinds of new classical swine fever vaccines so as to provide reference for prevention and control of classical swine fever.

Triazine herbicides and their metabolites may be dangerous for human health because they are suspected to cause interruption of hormone functions.Some of these compounds have been listed as potential environmental endocrine disruptors by some countries.Analysis methods for detecting triazine herbicides and their metabolites residues in environmental and food samples,including sample extraction and instrumental determination,were reviewed here.Liquid-liquid extraction,solid phase extraction and solid phase micro-extraction have been widely used in the pretreatment of triazine herbicide and their metabolites residues due to its easy operation and high recovery over other techniques.In addition,due to the high selectivity and low matrix effect,the technique of molecular imprinting,gel permeation chromatography and accelerated solvent extraction have also been widely applied in the pretreatment of triazine herbicide and their metabolites residues.By far,gas chromatography and liquid chromatography are commonly-used analytical methods for the measure of triazine herbicide and their metabolites residues.Additionally,chromatography coupled mass spectrometry plays more and more important roles in the analysis of triazine herbicides and their metabolites residues because of its lower detection limit and higher selectivity.
