2020년 7월 하순에 전남 해남의 무화과 농장에서 Aclees속에 속하는 바구미가 발견되었다. 이 바구미는 무화과곰보바구미(신칭), Aclees taiwanensis Kôno, 1933로 동정되었다. 아마도 아열대 및 열대 아시아가 원산인 이 외래종 바구미는 이탈리아와 프랑스에도 침입되어 무화과나무에 심각한 피해를 일으키고 있다. 이 논문이 한국에서 보고되는 Aclees속 바구미에 대한 첫 보고이다.

Effectiveness of aubendazole, a newly introduced as an anthelmintic in Korea, was evaluated in 28 ascariasis, 28 whipworm in(tractions and 17 Pinworm infections in Primary school children. All Patients were orally given by aubendazole of 500mg once. Stools for roundworm and whipworm and anal swabs for pinworm infections were examined both before and 25 days after treatment. After flubendazole treatment, all ascariasis and pinworm infected cases were cured. On the other hand, in whipworm infections, the cure rate was 82.1% (23 cured of 28 infected), and the egg reduction rate was 67.1%, respectively, Headache (one case), dizziness (2 cases) and abdominal pain (3 cases) were noticed as untoward effects, but they were mild and disappeared within 24 hours. These results demonstrate the excellent efEectiveness of aubendazole in treating these helminth infections.

편층증의 개인치료와 집단관리에 있어서 메벤다졸의 유용성 및 효과를 측정하였다. 메벤다졸(100∼1,200mg) 투약 3주후 430명에 있어서의 치료효과는 15.0∼64.0% 및 24.6∼95.2%의 치유율 및 충란감소율을 보여 대체로 만족스럽지 못한 결과이었으나 메벤다졸의 총 투여량이 높으면 높을수록 치유율 및 충란감소율도 높아지는 것이 관찰되었다. 일정간격 반복투여(600mg용량)에 의한 집단관리를 주민(4개군, 총 551명)의 편충란양성율은 3개월간격(3일 분복군) 투여 군에서 가장 현저한 감소추세를 보여 관리시작후 1년만에 40.0%에서 5.6%로 저하되었고, 3개월 간격(단희 또는 2회 분복군), 6개월, 12개월군 및 대조군에서는 감소추세가 완만하거나 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 메벤다졸은 편충의 개인치료에는 그다지 우수한 결과를 나타내지 않았으나, 3개월간격으로 반복투여하면 집단관리에는 유효한 약제가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

A total of 2,026 leprosy patients of the National Sorokdo Hospital was examined their infestparasites by cellophane thick smear method in January, 1983. The egg positive cases of Taenia spp. were treated with bithionol and the segments of Taenia were collected for species identification. The results were as follows: 1. Total egg Positive rate of any kind helminth was 78.2% and cumulative total was 85.2%. The egg positive rate for each helminth was as follow; Taenia spp. 3.4%, Ascaris lumbricoides 4.5%, Trichuris trichiura 72.1%, Clonorchis sinensis 2.8% and other 0.05%. 2. A total of 66 Taenia eggpPositive cases was treated; out of them proglottids of Taenia were collected from 26 cases. All of the collected worms were identified as T. saginata. The results revealed signiBicantly high egg positive rate of T. trichiura. However, A. lumbricoides was found to be controlled considerably by repeated chemotherapy during past 3 years. If chromotherapeutic agent is replaced with oxantel-pyrantel tablet, better result is expected. No clue was found for prevalence of T. sodium from both human and the pig in the island.

As a series of studios on the suitability as a second intermediate host of Clcnorchis sinensis, the wormicidal effects of mucus from epidermis of Cyprinus carpio nudus were observed. The results obtained were sumlnarized as follows : On the silica gel thin layer chromatography with the greenisll yellow supernatant in acetone: benzene110:90 as carrier, seven spots were observed in iodine chamber. The spot of Rf. 0.225 value among them disclosed the strongest wormicidal effect on the cercaria, the encysted metacercaria, and the adult of C. sinensis. hfeanwhile, no seasonal variations were found in Rf. values and effect of the wormicidal fractions. The wormicidal materials in epidermal mucus of C. carpio nudes and Carassius carassius were compared in their effect, and the former was Inore effective killing substance than the latter. It seemed that C. carpio nodus could not be proper intermediate host of C. sinensis according to results of the present study, in addition to our previous observation results.

The distribution, external morphology, radula, chromosome numbers of Planorbidae snails were studied. 1. The specimens were collected at four stations in Nonsangun, Kongjugun, and Daedukgun which are located around Geum river. Three genera and three species of Planorbidae, Hippeutis cantorir Segmentina hemisphaerula and Gyraulus cenvexiusculus, were collected. H. cantori was the most abundant species among the three species. G. convexiusculus was the least abundant one. 2. Each species could be identified on the basis of its external characteristic, since the periphery of each species has a peculiar shape. H. cantori was the largest one among the three species. 3. The radula formula of each species was very similar to other species. The size of radula was proportional to the size of shell. The radula formulae of H. cantori, S. hemisphaerula, and G. convexiusculus were 29 : 1 : 29, 23 : 1 : 23, and 16 : 1 : 16 respectively. The difference of radula formula could be found in the total numbers of laternal and marginal teeth. 4. The haploid chromosome number of H. cantori was eighteen (n=18), S. hemisphaerula and G. convesiusculus were assumed to be same in their chromosome numbers (n: 18).

The activity and distribution of aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6. 1. 1) and alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2) in adult Fascicle hepatica have been studied. Fasciola hepatica was fractionated by differential centrifugation into nuclear, mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions. The activity of GOT and GPT was measured by the method of Reitman and Frankel. Isozyme patterns of those enzyme were also examined by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The activity of aspartate and alanine aminotransferase was about 0.55 unit and 0.92 unit per 1g of Fascicle hepatica, respectively. 2. The activity of those enzymes was relatively low compared with those in mammalian tissues. 3. The distribution of aspartate aminotransferase in the subcellular organelles showed that 71% of the activity was in cytosolic, 24% in mitochondrial and 5% was in nuclear fraction. 4. About 22% of the total alanine aminotransferase activity was found in the mitochondrial fratstion, about 66% in the cytosolic fraction. 5. Aspartate aminotransferase from cytosolic fraction was separated into two types of isozymes, whereas alanine aminotransferase from cytosolic fraction gave only one active peak on DEAE-cellulose column chromatography.

An electron microscopic study was performed to know the basic tegumental structure of Cysticercus cellulosae. The scolex and bladder portions of cysticerci (human and porcine strains) were prepared for transmission and scanning electron microscopy by conventional procedures. In general, the tegument of C. cellulosae showed the basic ultrastructure of cestode tegument on electron micrographs. The teguments of both scolex and bladder portions consisted of such components, i.e., an outer vesicular layer with numerous microtriches and inner filroug layer. Below the fibrous layer, there were layers of muscle bundles and tegumental cells. The microtriches which covered the surface of cysticercus revealed two distinctly different shapes. The characteristic bladder-like, elongated pyramid shaped "tetrahedrial form" was observed on the surface of the scolex portion, whereas the elongated cylindrical "filamentous form" was distributed on the stirface of bladder portion. In spite of the difference of isolated host and location, the cysticerci showed tole same result. But dimensional variations of the tegument according to topography of the worm were observed. The possibility of application in making differential diagnosis from other larval cestodes and possible functions of this larval tegument were discussed.

21명의 간흡충 감염환자 및 15명의 건강인으로부터 혈청을 수집하여 혈청내 IgE와 간흡충에 대한 특이 IgE 항체를 RIST와 RAST법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 간흡충 감염환자 및 건강인의 혈청 IgE와 특이 IgE는 각각 2,372 lU/ml과 364IU/ml 그리고 52.0%와 4.4%로 간흡충 감염자에서 모두 유의하게 상승되어 있었으며 (p<0.001 및 p<0.01), 혈청 IgE의 상승과 특이 IgE의 상승은 상호 밀접한 관계가 있었고(r=0.9451), 혈청 IgE와 EPG(r=0.6056), 특이 IgE와 EPG(r=0.5693) 역시 상관 관계가 있었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 간흡충 감염은 인체 혈청내 IgE 및 특이 IgE항체를 상승시키며, IgE 및 간흡충에 대한 특이 IgK는 숙주-기생충간의 면역반응에 관여할 것으로 생각된다.

Developmental surface ultrastructure of Macroorchis spinulosus was studied by scanning electron microscopy. One-day-old juvenile fluke was leaf-shaped and bent ventrally. Body surface was covered densely with peg-like spines and with cobblestone-like cytoplasmic processes. Ciliated sensory papillae were concentrated around oral sucker. Several unciliated sensory papillae occurred equidistantly on oral sucker and acetabulum. The ciliated papillae appeared in two longitudinal lines symmetric bilaterally on dorsal surface. On adult flukes, tegumantal spines became wider in middle of the body surface. The cytoplasmic processes differentiated into more fine velvety form. It is likely that the differentiated fine cytoplasmic processes are an increased absorptive surface to adult M. spinulosus. It is suggested that single pointed tegumental spines on anterior half of the body may be supportive for this fluke to migration.
