Oochoristica pauriensis n.sp. has been described and figured from Hemidactylus brooki (Gray) and H. flaviviridis (Ruppell) on size of strobila, scolex, suckers, testes, ovary, eggs and oncosphere, and number of testes. The new specIes has been compared with close species.

잉어, 가물치 및 메기의 체표면 점액내에 있는 기흡충에 데한 살충성물질의 계절적 변동에 대하여 in vitro에서 검토하였다. 이들 어류 체표점도의 에테르추출물량은 겨울철에는 그 밖에 계절에 비하여 현저하게 감소함에도 불구하고 살충성물질과 에테르추출물을 박롱 크로마토그라휘하여 얻은 각반점물질의 Rf값은 계절적 변동을 가져오지 않았다.

We purified specific 31/36 kDa antigenic molecules from sparganum in different intermediate hosts (snakes and mice) and analyzed their monosaccharide compositions. Compositional analysis showed that glucose and man nose concentrations were 2-3 fold higher in the 31/36 kDa molecule purified from snakes than those from mice. This result implies that antigenic glycoproteins of sparganum from snakes might be modified in mammalian sparganosis with respect to their carbohydrate composition.

A 23-year-old medical student showed a positive reaction on a skin test for Paragonimus westermani, and two Tarsonemus floricolus mites were subsequently found by sputum examination and identified morphologically. Our report is the first human case of Tarsonemus floricofus in Korea.

Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) is one of the medically important insects. Maggots from a urine sample of a 5-year-old Saudi girl were examined microscopically for identification. These maggots were cultured to become adult flies. Larvae and adults were identified using standard keys. Protozoan flagellates were obtained from the gut of the larvae. This is the first report of M. scalaris as a causative agent of urinary human myiasis in Saudi Arabia.

Analysis of variance has been applied as a new tool for precise substantiation of tabometric differences between Eustrongylides spinispiculum n. sp. and close species, as indicated by the polythetic divisive classificatory system. A revised key to the species of genus Eustrongylides Jagerski61d (1909) has been Presented.

The distribution of Bothriecephazus sp., Guptaia sp., Mackiewicgia sp., Polyonchobethrium sp., PtMchobotkriune sp., and SeBtga sp. in the alimentary tract of nine Indian hill-stream fishes are described. Though the region around pyloric sphincter was preferred by most cestodes, Senga sp. enabled its existence even in the latter part of intestine apparently because of its well leveloped adhesive apparatus on scolex.

The carbohydrate moieties of larval sparganum proteins in two different species, the snakes, Elaphe rufodorsata, the Balb/c mouse and those of the adult worm, Spirometra erinacei, were compared using five different lectins including GNA, SNA, MAA, PNA and DSA. The GNA positive 53 kDa molecule, which is excretory-secretory protease in the sparganum from the snake showed a stage specific and developmental regulation. We also suggested that sparganum glycosylation may be involved in immune evasion and differentiation into an adult worm.

Strongyloidiasis has been rdcognized as one of the life-threatening parasitic infections in the immunocompromised patients. We report an intestinal infection case of Strongyloides stercoralis in a 61-year-old man. Rhabditiform larvae were detected in the stool examination and developed to filariform larvae having a notched tail through the Harada-Mori filter paper culture.The patient received five courses of albendazole therapy but not cured of strongyloidiasis.

A mathematical model for transmission of schistosomes is useful to predict effects of various control measures on suppression of these parasites. This review focuses on epidemiological and environmental factors in Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mekongi infections and recent advances in mathematical models of Schistosoma transmission.
