계란 살충제 파동으로 농가들은 AI에 이어 또 다시 불안에 떨고 있다. 이번 사태는 농장의 책임도 피할 수 없지만, 정부의 잘못된 제도와 부실한 관리 감독이 만들어 낸 인재이다. 정부에서 허가해 주고 지자체에서 지원해준 제품마저도 농가에서 고스란히 피해를 보는 상황에서 농가들은 어디에 하소연해야 할지 답답한 심정이다. 본지는 이번 사태를 겪으면서 닭 진드기에 대한 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 모색하기 위해 지금까지 닭 진드기 피해를 보지 않은 예산농장(대표 김영식)을 찾았다. 충남 예산에 위치한 예산농장은 이번 계란 안전성 관련 사태가 발생하자 지역 2개 농장(금덕농장, 호성농장)과 함께 계란 안전성에 대한 안내문을 지역 신문에 게재하는 등 적극 대처를 해왔으며, 차단 방역 등 위생적인 닭 관리로 닭 진드기 방제를 위해 노력해 오고 있다.

가을에는 일교차가 커지면서 차고 건조해진 공기에 알레르기비염과 천식 등 알레르기 질환이 쉽게 발생한다. 특히 알레르기비염의 주요 원인은 집먼지 진드기나 곰팡이, 애완동물의 털, 꽃가루 등이다. 그렇다면 집안 곳곳 숨어있는 곰팡이와 진드기를 예방하고 제거할 수 있는 방법은 무엇일까?

A storage mite, Tyrophcgus putrescentiae, is recently known to be widely distributed in Korea, being commonly found in house dust, and may, therefore, be allergenically important. The purpose of this study was to develop mass rearing techniques for supplying a large quantity of allergens. The laboratory mouse food powder gave the highest yield, showing 1,251.5-fold increase in number after 10 weeks, and the mixed powder of laboratory mouse food and yeast (1 : 1) also gave same level of the production (1.203 1-fold increase in week 10). Several different combinations of temperature and relative humidity conditions were compared, and the maximum propagation was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ and 64% RH, showing 960-fold increase in number. When the same amount of culture media was used the size of the culture container did not significantly influence the quantitative yield of T. putrescentice mites.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conducting surveillance of climate change vectors across all regions in Korea to counteract the spread of these vectors. As a part of this surveillance project, wild rodents were captured using traps to investigate the spread of chigger mites, the vector of Tsutsugamushi disease, across Jeonbuk, Jinan region, and to conduct studies on pathogens. Twenty samplers were used to sample chigger mites weekly from September to November in four different locations. Six hundred and eleven chigger mites of eight varying types were captured. The largest number of captured chigger mites was N. tamiyai, with 434 samples (71.0%). With the addition of 66 wild rodents captured from traps, 3,050 chigger mites were sampled, which yielded a Chigger index of 46.2. The monthly Chigger index was highest in November with a value of 206.1. the result of the test conducted in the presence of pathogens showed two positive results, each from May and September, out of all 85 pools. This result was aligned with the increased frequency in tsutsugamushi disease cases in spring and fall seasons.

Neutrophils and lymphocytes are essential inflammatory cells in the pathogenesis of allergy. In this study, we evaluated the role of house dust mite (HDM) in the interaction between allergic lymphocytes and neutrophils. The extract of Dermatophagoides pteronissinus (DP) showed a stronger anti-apoptotic impact on neutrophil apoptosis in the coculture of allergic neutrophils with allergic lymphocytes when compared with that in allergic neutrophils alone. DP increased IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, and GM-CSF in allergic lymphocytes, and the increased cytokines were inhibited by rottlerin-an inhibitor of the protein kinase C (PKC) ${\delta}$, as well as by SB202190-a p38 MAPK inhibitor. DP activated p38 MAPK in a time-dependent manner. The activation of p38 MAPK was suppressed by PAR2i, which is a protease-activated receptor (PAR) 2 inhibitor, and rottlerin. Both aprotinin-a serine protease inhibitor-and E64-a cysteine protease inhibitor-were not effective on cytokine secretion of lymphocytes. These results, despite increased cytokines in allergic lymphocytes via DP, did not show any differences between asthma and allergic rhinitis. Molecules, including cytokines, released by DP in lymphocytes inhibited the migration of neutrophils. This finding may further elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of allergic diseases due to HDM.

Studies on geographical distributions and relative population densities of the vector mites of tsutsugamushi disease were carried out in October 1996 at 12 locations of the mid south inland of the Korean peninsula, where chigger mites have been never studied. Of 177 field rodents and insectivores collected. 154 (87.0%) were Apodemus ngrarius. Total 25,707 chigger mites were collected and 14 species were identified. of which Leptotrombidium pnllidum was predominant (79.8%) and L. palpate the next (8.9%) . L. pallidum, the vector species, was widely distributed in all study areas, showing the highest density at Cho-o 2-dong, Sangju-si (chigger index 201.8), and the lowest at Tanwol-dong. Chungiu-si (chigger index 40.7) . The other vector species, L. scutellare was found only at the southern part of the study area such as Yobae and Mipyong, Kumrung gun and Vnsu , Kimchon-si. The northernmost areas of the L. scutellcre distribution were coincided with the areas where actual mean air temperature is above 10.0%. Among 157 A. ograrius sera tested, 48.3% was Karp, 1.7% william and 3.3% Kuroki. The rest of the sera were not able to determine the sexto-type because of the cross antigen-antibody reactions among the tested sero-types.

The number of households with pets has increased in recent years. Consequently, interest in mites and their odors has increased. In this study, we investigated whether pyrethrum extract and water-soluble phytoncides are effective tick repellents, deodorizing agents, and antibacterial agents. In the tick-climbing test, the pyrethrum extract (23.33 points) and water-soluble phytoncide (22.00 points) showed a high repelling effect. To confirm the tick avoidance effect of the composite extract, a tick climbing test was conducted with a pest control extract, a composite extract (referred to as a sample) containing a water-soluble phytoncide, and a third-party product (control). The sample showed a high avoidance effect (13.00 points and Control 26.67 points. An indoor repellent efficacy test for ticks confirmed that the sample showed an excellent tick-repellent effect (88%) compared to the control (12%). As a result of a deodorization test, ammonia was shown to have a deodorizing effect of 98.3% and trimethylamine of 99.5%, whereas, in the antibacterial test, the E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and pneumonia groups showed an antibacterial effect of 99.9%. Combining the results of this study, it is judged that the complex extract including the above material has high utility value as a material that is effective in mite repellents, deodorization, and antibacterial activity.
