This study was intended to investigate the capitulum morphology and to evaluate its taxonomic importance within the 23 taxa of Korean Artemisia L. The Korean Artemisia was classified into sterile subg. Dracunculus and fertile subg. Artemisia by the fertility of the disk florets, which is the traditional diagnostic character of subgenera. There are sections in subg. Artemisia: sect. Absinthium with a densely, sparsely hairy receptacle, and sect. Abrotanum and sect. Artemisia with a glabrous receptacle. However, A. fukudo and A. sacrorum belonging to sect. Abrotanum, and A. viridissima belonging to sect. Artemisia were observed to have sparsely hairy receptacles. Therefore, the presence of hair on a receptacle, which is now regarded as a key character distinguishing sections, has to be reevaluated. The whole shape and size of the capitulum, the characteristic of the stigma apex, the hair on the involucral bract, and the shape of the central or peripheral floret are thought to be the most valuable characters to consider in recognizing species.

This study was carried out to identify bacterial strains adhered to domestic pet dog hair and to identify antibacterial extracts from natural compounds. A total of 76 strains were isolated from dog hair. The most common species isolated was Staphylococcus spp. (41 isolates), followed by Micrococcus spp. (21 isolates), Enterococcus spp. (8 isolates), Bacillus sup. (3 isolates), Exiguobacterium sup. (2 isolates), Shigella spp. (1 isolate) and Zoogloea spp. (1 isolate). These results suggested that dog hair could be a source of bacterial contamination to human. The susceptibility of isolates to antibiotics and antibacterial activities of the natural compounds were examined by disk diffusion method. Water and ethanol extract from Scutellaria baicalensis revealed high antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Enterococcus and Shigella. Our results suggest that the extract of Scutellaria baicalensis can be used a antibacterial agent against the antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.

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.

Using scanning electron microscope (SEM), we examined the trichomes on leaf and petiole and the epicuticular waxes on leaf surfaces for a total of 27 taxa representing two subtribes, Fragariinae and Potentillinae, of tribe Potentilleae (Rosaceae) in Korea. Four types of trichomes on adaxial and abaxial surface of leaves and petioles were identified. Type I (conical hirtellous) is the most common trichome type found in the majority of taxa in Fragariinae and Potentillinae. Type II (verruculose conical hirtellous) can be found only in Potentilla cryptotaeniae of sect. Conostylae of Potentillinae. Potentilla chinensis complex (sect. Conostylae) and P. egedii (sect. Letostylae) have type III trichome (crispate villous), while type IV (floccose villous) can be found in two species in sect. Conostylae, P. nivea and P. discolor. Both woolly hairs and conical hirtellous exist together in types III and IV. The same type of trichomes in leaves and petioles can be found across different subtribes and sections. In addition, different types of trichomes can be found even in a single species. Among the taxa which have type I trichome, the majority of subtribe Fragariinae and P. centrigrana and P. dickinsii complex have well developed epicuticular waxes on the surface of leaves. Sharing epicuticular waxes among the taxa across different subtribes appears to be correlated with their similar geographical distribution and ecological conditions. However, molecular phylogenetic study implies that the existence of epicuticular waxes could be also due to phylogenetic signal.

Studies on the geographical distribution and the seasonal prevalence of chigger mites, with particular reference to L. paflidum, a vector species of tsutsugamushi disease were carried out during the period of July 1989-October 1990. From total 111 field rodents collected during the study period, 4,498 chiggers were obtained and 12 species of 4 genera were identified. L. paflidum, the vector species was the dorninant species, showing 65.6% of the total chiggers. L. scutellare, known as the important vector species of tsutsugamushi disease in Japan was not found in the study area, except Yesan-gun, Chungcheong-namdo where only one specimen was collected. The distribution of chigger mites was clearly localized by species, showing the different dominant species by locality. The population density of L. paflidum was high at two study areas, moderate at one area and very low at six other areas, compared to the other species. The study on seasonal prevalence of L. paflidum population density resulted that they started appearing in September (9.8%), showed the peak in October (45.4%) and November (30.6%), almost disappeared during the period of December-March (1.3-0%), reappeared in April (12.7%) showing a small peak, and again almost disappeared until September. L. palpafe was appeared only in winter and spring (December-April).

We investigated the distribution of chigger mites in Seogwipo, Jeju Island to conduct surveillance for the presence of Orientia tsutsugamushi. Using a total of 20 samplers, chigger mite larvas were sampled weekly from September to November in Rice field, Field, Waterway, and Glass field (4 locations), and we found up to 51 larvas of 3 different species of chigger mites. 64 field mice were captured when sampling for chigger mite-infested rodents in rice fields, waterways, fields, reservoirs and hills (5 locations) for 9 months from March, 2018 to November, using 100 Sherman traps with placing 20 traps in each location, and in each location the trap index was 0.08. Only back-striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) were captured one at a time. They were most frequently captured in April with 15 mice, and then 436 chigger mites were collected from the total of 64 captured wild rodent, showing a chigger index of 6.8. The chigger index was the highest in November at 46.0, followed by 6.8 in July and 4.6 in June. PCR was performed to investigate if there were any O. tsutsugamushi hosts among the 487 chigger mites sampled from the captured rodents and this turned out to be negative.

털부처꽃(Lythrum salicaria L.)은 예로부터 발효해서 술로 마시고, 잎은 채소로 식용하며, 식중독 치료 및 설사를 멈추게 하는 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한국, 중국, 아프리카, 유럽, 북아메리카 등의 습한 지역에 분포하며, 7~8월에 취산꽃차례로 붉은 자주색의 꽃이 핀다. 본 연구는 털부처꽃을 지피용 소재로 개발하기 위한 최적의 재배기술을 확립하기 위해 수행되었다. 재배방법의 확립을 위하여 2019년 4월 27일에 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 7월 4일에 정식하여 9월 24일까지 12주 동안 재배하였다. 공통 조건은 3치 비닐 포트에 원예상토를 충진하고, 200구 트레이에 셀당 1립씩 파종하여 생산된 1셀 묘를 정식하였으며, 추비, 차광, 적심 등은 처리하지 않았다. 추비 실험은 hyponex 하이그레이드(N-P-K, 7-10-6)를 0, 500, 1000, 2000mg·L^-1를 4주간 간격으로 총 3회 엽면시비 하였다. 차광 정도 실험은 0, 35, 55, 75% 차광막을 이용하였으며, 적심은 무적심과 4주차에 1회 적심처리 하였다. 연구의 결과, 털부처꽃은 추비 농도가 증가할수록, 생육이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 차광처리 별로는 무차광 조건에서 생육이 가장 왕성한 결과를 보였고, 광량의 부족은 전반적으로 생육을 억제하는 경향이었다. 적심 처리는 줄기 신장을 크게 억제하였으며, 측지수를 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 엽수는 무처리와 비교하였을 때 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 털부처꽃은 적심을 하는 것이 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었으며, 적심 시기에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로 추비처리는 털부처꽃의 생육에 부정적인 영향을 주므로 처리하지 않고, 무차광 조건에서 재배하는 것이 전반적인 생육에 유리하였다. 또한 도장이 잘되는 식물임으로 적심처리하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.
