BVD바이러스는 임상증상 없이 잠복감염 상태에 있는 개체가 지속적으로 바이러스를 배출하여 우군전체에 이 질병을 전파시키고, 감염된 소는 면역력이 저하되어 다른 질병의 병원체가 쉽게 감염되어 복합감염증을 일으키게 하는 특징이 있다.

This study aimed to explore anxiety, risk perception, information literacy, and performance level of infection prevention practices against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) among nursing students during the pandemic. A descriptive online survey was conducted, targeting a total of 224 nursing students from June 8, 2020 to 14, 2020. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, and correlation analysis using SPSS 26.0. The nursing students' level of anxiety was 6.86 out of 10, which was normal. Their information literacy level and performance level of infection prevention practices were 3.50 out of 4 and 4.44 out of 5, respectively, and these scores were considered high. The higher the level of anxiety, risk perception, and information literacy, the higher the level of infection prevention practices. The level of anxiety with respect to infection and risk perception may increase when new types of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 break out. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the accurate understanding of the infectious diseases by providing sufficient information. Accurate understanding of new infectious diseases can reduce the risk of transmission as it encourages people to thoroughly perform infection prevention practices.

Marine parasitoid Amoebophrya infects and kills various bloom-forming dinoflagellates and strongly influences the harmful algal bloom dynamics. We investigated the effect of temperature on survival, infectivity, generation time of the parasite from the parasitoid Amoebophrya sp. and the harmful dinoflagellate host Akashiwo sanguinea system. Temperature had a significant effect on the parasite generation time and infectivity. While the lower temperature ($15^{\circ}C$) arrested parasite intracellular development and infectivity, resulting in the longer generation time ($115{\pm}0.1h$), the higher temperatures ($25^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$) accelerated the parasite development, with the generation times of $58{\pm}0.1h$ and $83{\pm}0.1h$, respectively. Parasite prevalence (percent of host infected) was $71.5{\pm}0.30%$, $54.3{\pm}1.68%$, and $29.6{\pm}1.42%$ at $25^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $15^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results suggest that biological control by parasitism on A. sanguinea bloom would not be highly effective during low water temperature season. Further, water temperature would be an important factor of bottom-up controls for the host-parasite population dynamics.

요즘 안팎으로 '신종플루' 때문에 좌불안석이다. 더욱이 당뇨병환자에게 더 위험하다고 하니 긴장하지 않을 수 없다. 하지만 당뇨병환자가 경계해야할 감염은 신종플루만이 아니다. 혈당이 조절되지 않으면 각종 세균이 그 때를 놓치지 않고 몸 구석구석에 둥지를 튼다. 날이 쌀쌀해 지면서 그 활동력은 커지니 이에 대한 대비가 필요하다. 이에 이번 달에는 '당뇨병환자의 감염'에 대해 알아본다.

항문외과에서 에이즈 감염을 의심해야 할 경우는 항문 성교에 의한 물리적인 병변 및 성병의 형태로 나타나는 경우와 에이즈에 의해 면역이 저하됨에 따라 나타나는 여러 가지 기회 질환의 형태로 나타날 수 있다. HIV 감염자 및 AIDS환자의 항문, 직장 병변은 면역 저하와 관련된 여러 종류의 드문 감염질환과 종양의 형태로 나타날 수 있고 2가지 이상의 질병이 복합적으로 나타나는 경우가 흔하다. 많은 감염이 항문 성교를 받는 동성연애 남성에서 나타나지만 항문 성교의 과거력이 없는 이성 연애 남성 및 여성에게서도 생길 수 있다. 최근에는 이성간의 항문 성교가 HIV 감염의 중요한 원인 중 한가지로 강조되고 있다.

An experimental study was performed to observe the infectivlty of sparganum (plerocercold of Spirometra erinncel) treated by prazlquantel, gamma-irradiation and mechanical cutting. The spargana were obtained from the naturally Infected European grass snake, Rhabdophis tigrina, or from the expenmentally infected mice. A total of 83 mice (ICR straine were divided Into 3 experimental groups by the source of the damage, fed each UH 5 spargana, and sacnaced 1 month later for worm recovery. In the praziquantel group, the worms were incubated In the concentration of 10㎍/ml (control: Tyrode for 4 hours) for 0.5. 1.2 and 4 hours at 36℃. and fed to mice. The recovery rate from mice in prazlquantel group was not different from that (80%) of control poop and in the range of 76-100%. In the gamma-Irradiation group, the worms were irradiated by 10-1000 Gy with Csl37. The average recovery rates of 69-100% were not different from that of control up to 100 Gy. The rate was 56% under 150 Gy, and 5% by 1000 Gy. In the mechanical cutting group, the worms were cut at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 m from the anterior end of the scolex. The average recovery rates In each group were 70-90% and that of control was 90%. The present folding suggests that the sparganum be highly resistant to prazlquantel, gamma- irradiation and mechanical cutting. The vitality center of the sparganum must be at the anterior end of Its scolex.

In the definitive hosts, metacercariae of Parofonimn westermani excyst in host duodenum, penetrate intestinal wall, migrate peritoneal and thoracic cavities, and develop to sexual maturity in 8 weeks. This study was undertaken to examine the age of the maturing p. westernnni when their infectivity to the other definitive hosts was retained. On 3, 7, 10, 14,21 and 28 days after feeding the metacercariae to cats through a gastric tube, the developing worms were harvested. The juveniles of different age were fed again to other experimental cats. One to 12 weeks after the oral-transfer infections, the experimental cats were examined for establishment of infections. In the cats to which 3- day and 7-day old juveniles (grown up to 1.4 mm long) were fed, 31.4% and 22.6% of the transferred worms were found infected. The worms of 10-28 days old were not infective. Early maturing stages grown up to 7 days maintained their infectivity to the other definitive hosts.

We report here an improved collecting method of the infective juveniles multiplied in the host insect with the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser. The specific characteristics of this method involved the opening of the host insect hemocoel after the population of their infective juveniles reached at the maximum (6 days at 25$\^{C}$ after nematode treatment to nonimmunized host insects) to facilitate the escape of the multiplied nematodes. It also used 'Baermann funnel'method to select the infective juveniles effectively. This improved 'Baermann funnel'method was compared with a traditional collecting method, which was characterized with a combination of untreated host insects and 'White trap'collecting method, in both yield and pathogenicity of the collected infective juveniles to the fifth instar larvae of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (H bner). More than 95% of the nematode populations collected by the two methods represented the morphological infective juveniles. To prove the nematodes to be infective juveniles functionally, pathogenicity and infective activity were compared in the nematodes collected by the two methods. They were not different in both pathogenicities and infective activities which were measured by the numbers of nematodes penetrated into the hemocoel of the insect hosts after exposure for the specific times to the same dote of infective juveniles. Significant difference between two collecting methods was found in the total yields of the infective juveniles per host insect About 50,000 infective juveniles per infected fifth instar larva of S. exigua after 6 day incubation at 25$\^{C}$ were collected only for 2 days by the improved 'Baermann funnel'method, while about 20,000 infective juveniles per host were collected for 10 days by the classical 'White trap'method.

청년실업, 명예퇴직, 노인취업문제 등 나이고하를 막론하고 모든 연령층에서 노동력에 대한 수요는 증가하고 있으나 공급은 과거보다 훨씬 줄어들었다. 특히 건강한 에이즈감염인들의 경우 건강에 이상이 없기 때문에 노동에 대한 욕구는 크지만 그들이 처한 상황 특성상 노동의 기회는 제대로 주어지지 않고 있다.

조류 인플루엔자(Avian influenza, 이하 AI)는 때로는 돼지에서 나타나기도 하지만 주로 가금류에만 감염되는 바이러스성 질병이다 . 본래 “ influenza”는 라 틴 어 의“influential “(영어: influence), “영향을 주다”에서 유래된 말로 옛날 서양인들이 전염병이 돌면 별자리의 영향에 의한 것으로 믿은 것에서 유래됐다 한다. AI는 매우 종특이적(species- specific)이나, 드물게 종을 넘어 인간에게까지도 감염력을 나타내는 것들도 있다. 야생이 아닌 인간이 사육하는 가금류에서는 약독성과 맹독성의 두 종류가 발견되는데 이들은 아주 극단적인 결과를 나타낸다. 약독성은 깃이 곤두서거나 산란율이 저하되는 정도로 미미하게 경과되는 반면, 맹독성은 계군 간의 전파속도가 빠르고 각종 장기들에 감염되어 48시간 이내에 100% 치사율을 보이기도 한다.
