Field application of the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpncapsae, is limited by its susceptibility to UV irradiation and desiccation especially at leaf spray control. This study was conducted to develop the control technique using alginate biocapsulation of the nematodes against the beet armyworm, Spodoprera exigua and the tobacco cutworm, Sp. litura that are normally infesting hosts above ground level. The alginate capsules including infective juveniles gave significant feeding toxicities to the larvae of the two lepidopteran species. The lethality followed a typical sigmoid dose-mortality pattern with increase of the nematode densities embedded in the capsules. Moisture content in the capsule was critical to the survival of the infective juveniles. More than 80% nematodes could survive above 10% moisture content remained in the capsule. Remaining moisture content within the capsule was dependent on relative humidity, ambient temperature, and capsule size, but not on citric acid reaction time during capsule formation. More than 80% of infective juveniles in the alginate capsules could survive in distilled water at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. When these nematode capsules containing welsh onion extract as another phagostimulant were applied on the 3rd instar larvae of Sp. exigua infesting peanut plants, they resulted in about 90% control efficacy. These results indicate that the alginate capsulation can be used for leaf-spray agent of the entomopathogenic nematodes as well as for improved storage purpose.

This study was investigated to compare the suppression of Meloidogyne arenaria by different treatments of Pasteuria penetrans which is known for biological control agent against Meloidogyne spp.. In order to select proper number of P. penetrans showing good suppression effect, P. penetrans were mixed with M, arenaria for attachment using three different concentration such as $3{\times}10^4$, $3{\times}10^5$ and $3{\times}10^6$ endospores/5 g medium, followed by treating them onto the roots of tomato. After 14 weeks incubation, P. penetrans at $3{\times}10^6$ endospores showed highest activity against the formation of gall caused by M, arenaria. At a dose of $3{\times}10^5$ endospores/5 g medium, P. penetrans was treated into soil either mixing with soil or spray onto soil surface for comparing of suppressive efficacy. When the antagonistic bacterium was treated by the former method, it suppressed more effectively Using P. penetrans at $3{\times}10^6$ endospores and mixing with soil method, suppression was compared among P. penetrans, $PASTORIA^{(R)}$(Japan) and $Fosthiazate^{(R)}$(Korea). P. penetrans was more potent than $PASTORIA^{(R)}$(Japan) and as similar as $Fosthiazate^{(R)}$(Korea). Therefore, these results suggested that P. penetrans can be used for controling of M. arenaria as biological control agent. Furthermore, thess results can be provided to develop environmentally-friendly nematicide.

Chinese cabbage fields have been damaged by cyst nematodes in highland of Gangwon province in Korea since the year 2011, and clover cyst nematode (CCN) is one of the most problematic cyst nematodes in the crop. To investigate the plant resources for breeding new Chinese cabbage cultivar, which is resistant to CCN, screening for resistance of fifty-seven Brassicaceae plant resources to CCN was conducted. Among the plant resources, fifty-four plant resources (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis, B. rapa, Brassica sp., B. juncea, B. carinata, B. rapa subsp. nipposinica, B. rapa subsp. narinosa, B. rapa var. perviridis, B. rapa var. perviridis, B. napus var. napobrassica, and Eruca sativa) were very susceptible to CCN and the number of females on roots was more than 300. Two plant resources (B. carinata and B. tournefortii) with more than 100 females on roots were susceptible to CCN. However, African mustard (B. tournefortii, Korean Genebank accession no. IT218058) was resistant to CCN because of the small number of females (4±1.8) on roots. This study showed that African mustard (IT218058) was valuable as a breeding material for Chinese cabbage, which is resistant to CCN.

산림병해충이란 곤충 중에서 인간이 산림에서 기대하는 혜택을 직ㆍ간접으로 방해하는 것이라 정의 할 수 있는데 특히 소나무재선충이 침입한 나무는 100% 고사되기 때문에 특별한 주의가 필요하다. 소나무는 우리나라의 대표적인 수종으로 1960년대 전국 산림면적의 50%이상을 차지하고 있었으나 최근 산림생태계의 변화, 각종 병해충의 만연으로 소나무 숲의 면적이 30%내로 점차 감소되고 있다.(중략)

Two new species of Tylenchorhynchus Cobb, 1913 from sugar cane fields in Sudan, T. sudanensis and T. elamini are described and illustrated. T. sudanensis is characterized by rather medium body size female, L= 0.692 mm long with rather medium stylet length of 20 - 23 ${\mu}m$. While T. elamini is characterized by medium body size female, L = 0.61 - 0.78 mm long, medium stylet length of 16 - 19 ${\mu}m$. Different characters of two new species are discussed. In addition, vital measurements and brief descriptions of two species are presented.

3.5살짜리 래브라도 리트리버(Labrador Retriever)는 매일 처방되는 피질스테로이드제에 무반응으로 비계절적, 심한 소양증을 2년간 앓고 있는 병력을 갖고 있었다. 공기유래 알레르겐(알러젠; Allergens)들에 대한 시험관내 RAST1(Radioallergosorbent testing; 방사선 알레르기 흡착 시험법)에 양성으로 나타난 것을 기초로 한 면역요법(Immunotherapy)을 18개월 동안 시행했으나 성공적이지 않았다. 부신피질호르몬(Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, ACTH)자극 시험법은 이것이 본래 임상수의사에 의해 발생(Iatrogenic)된 것임을 예시하여준다. 피부 찰과물(Skin scrapings)을 검사한 결과 개 천공개선충(Sarcoptic mange)이라는 진단이 내려졌다. 이버맥틴(Ivermectin)치료효과와 피질스테로이드(Corticosteroid)의 투약중지에 대한 반응이 극적으로 나타났다. 10개월 추적기간(10-month follow-up period)동안에 이 질병은 재발되지 않았다. 이것은 비록 계절적인 알레르겐을 배제하기 위해 긴 기간동안 추적이 필요하였으나 개 천공개선충이 오히려 피질스테로이드요법에 대한 2차적인 것보다는 1차적인 질병이라는 것을 말해준다. 아토피의 진단을 위해 혈청학적 시험법의 이용이 논의되었다.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to find out the influence of the inoculation density of Aphelenchoides besseyi on the growth of rice plant and the body length of female nematode. The rice plants showed reduced height, number of tillers and dry weight of plant when the nematode was inoculated. The body length of female nematode significantly decreased as the initial population density increased.

Nine cases of human infection with Strongyloines stercornlis are reported among patients admitted to the Seoul Paik and Sang-Kye Paik Hospitals, Inje University, from April 1990 to Junuary 1992. The Patients, 7 males and 2 females acted between 50 and 70, either had the history of long term use of steroids for management of arthritis, or were complicated with other chronic diseases such as hypertension, liver diseases, psychotic disorders, and gastrointestinal problems. All of the nine patients revealed rhabditoid larvae of S. stercorolis in fecal examination. A 57-year-old woman who complained of arthritis and abdominal discomfort, was treated with albendazole and mebendazole, and on the 4th and 5th treatment day 220 parasitic adult females were collected from the diarrheal stool. The patient had a long history of administration of steroids for treatment of arthritis, and seems to have suffered from hyperinfection syndrome due to autoinfection with S. stercordis. This is the 3rd report on the recovery of parasitic adult females of S. stercoraLis in Korea.

The results of survey on the nematodes associated with sapling from 8 Forestry Experiment Stations(F.E.S.) in Korea are reported herein. A total of 35 species under 20 genera, 11 families, and 2 orders were identified from the soils around the roots of 119 tree species and amongst them, Xiphinema insigne is unrecorded species for Korea and Geocenamus sp. is a new species. Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, which showed the highest detection rate (D.R.) from all F.E.S., except Nambu F.E.S, was the dominant species among the nematodes associated with saplings. The D.R. of T. claytoni was the highest in Ch’ungnam F.E.S. by 100% from 15 saplings sampled, followed by 87.5% in Kangwon, 66.6% in Kyongbuk, 58.3% in Cheonbuk, 48.1% in Ch’ungbuk, 41.3% in Kyongki, and 40% in Cheonnam F.E.S. Other important nematode species which showed very high densities by stations are; Criconemella morgensis (D.R.: 37.5%), Helicotylenchus digonicus (D.R. : 35%), Pararotylenchus pini (D.R.: 37%), Tylenchorhynchus nudus (D.R.: 37.9%), Criconemella informis (D.R.: 27.5%), and Meloidogyne sp. (D.R.: 12.5), from Chunbuk, Chunnam, Ch’ungbuk, Kyongki, and Kangwon F.E.S., respectively.
