Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pathogen inoculation technology, specifically to a pathogen inoculation puncture device. Background Technology

[0002] Inoculation with pathogenic fungal cakes through wounds is an important experimental technique in plant pathology research for verifying pathogenicity. Its core lies in artificially simulating natural infection conditions to observe the pathogen's ability to infect host tissues. During the procedure, a penetrating wound with a diameter of 3-5 mm is created on the surface of host tissues such as fruits and leaves using a sterile needle or punch, reaching the tissue layer below the epidermis, simulating natural insect infestation or mechanical damage. Then, a fungal cake prepared under sterile conditions is tightly adhered to the host wound and secured with sterile cotton balls or sealing film to prevent the fungal cake from falling off and to maintain local humidity.

[0003] The above operations require the use of a needle to perform punctures on the host. In practice, it has been found that when using a single needle to perform punctures, it is often necessary to repeatedly puncture multiple locations on the host with the same needle to create the required number of wounds. During the repeated punctures at multiple points, it is difficult to maintain consistent pressure, and it is also impossible to ensure that the depth and spacing of each puncture are consistent. This results in varying puncture depths and spacing, which affects the effective invasion of pathogens at the wound sites.

[0004] Therefore, a pathogen inoculation puncture device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and capable of creating multiple puncture wounds on the host in one go with consistent wound depth and regular spacing, and that allows for needle replacement according to the shape of the host, along with a multi-needle structure suitable for acupuncture, effectively improves the acupuncture effect and ensures that pathogens can effectively invade the wound site in the later stage, has broad market prospects.
