In Fukuoka, the natural enemies of Protopulvinaria mangiferae were confirmed as six primary parasitoids, three hyperparasitoids, and six predators. Among the primary parasitoids, Aneristus ceroplastae, Microterys flavus, and Coccophagus yoshidae were relatively abundant in Fukuoka. Aneristus ceroplastae and Coccophagus yoshidae were solitary endoparasitoid, whereas Microterys flavus was a gregarious endoparasitoid. Tetrastichus sp. was a hyperparasitoid and solitarily ectoparasitic to the pupae of Aneristus ceroplastae and Microterys flavus. The seasonal fluctuation of parasitisim and adult emergence of the important parasitoids was investigated in Fukuoka. Among the predatorys, Rhyzobius forestieri and Chilocorus kuwanae were relatively abundant, and seasonal fluctuation of adult emergence and consumption of the host were studied. As the first record from Japan, Rhyzobius forestieri was collected on leaves of Elaeocarpus sylvestris with heavy infestation of Protopulvinaria mangiferae.

Nematode-trapping fungi develop trap and consume nematodes are an important part of the subsoil ecosystem and they share a special predator-prey relationship. Four nematode-trapping species, there with adhesive network, Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. sinensis, A. thaumasia and one with constricting ring, Drechslerella brochopaga were collected from soils in Korea and tested their predacity against 12 different nematode species. They were three feeding groups, plant-parasitic (Meloidogyne incognita and Pratylenchus penetrans), fungivorous (Aphelenchus avenae), bacteriovorous (Betlerius sp. and Diplogasteritus sp. in diplogasterid, Panagrolaimus labiatus, P. multidentatus in panagrolaimid, Mesorhabditis irregularis, Pelodera strongyloides and Rhabditis sp., in rhabditid, and Acrobeloides sp. in cephalobid). Results showed that nematode-trapping fungi successfully captured most of nematodes in Petri dish in the group of plant-parasitic nematodes and rhabditids, moderately and variably in other nematodes in 15 days. But it didn't captured A. avenae and Acrobeloides sp. both belongs to c-p group 2. Numbers of Acrobeloides sp. and A. avenae even increased during the test period. The results of this study indicated that nematode-trapping fungi may have specificity among nematode species.

Wood boring insects collected around bait logs of Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis were 45 species from 4 families, which were composed of 21 species of Cerambycidae, 9 species of Curculionidae, 2 species of Rhynchophoridae, and 13 species of Scolytidae. Parasitic or predatory insects were 35 species from 15 families in 6 orders. Among the natural enemies, 2 parasitoids of Dolochomitus nakamurai and Echthus reluctator, and 2 predators of Trogossita japonica and Thanassimus lewisi, were observed frequently attacking a vector insect, Monochamus saltuarius, which has been known to transmit pine wood nematode. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Adults of D. nakamurai and E. reluctator emerged during early April and early May. Both parasitoids laid eggs on M. saltuarius prepupa and papa, which passed winter inside the pupal chamber. The general predators, T. japonica and T. lewisi, preyed actively during April and October, and attacted almost all of developmental stages of wood borers.

Marine parasitoid Amoebophrya infects and kills various bloom-forming dinoflagellates and strongly influences the harmful algal bloom dynamics. We investigated the effect of temperature on survival, infectivity, generation time of the parasite from the parasitoid Amoebophrya sp. and the harmful dinoflagellate host Akashiwo sanguinea system. Temperature had a significant effect on the parasite generation time and infectivity. While the lower temperature ($15^{\circ}C$) arrested parasite intracellular development and infectivity, resulting in the longer generation time ($115{\pm}0.1h$), the higher temperatures ($25^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$) accelerated the parasite development, with the generation times of $58{\pm}0.1h$ and $83{\pm}0.1h$, respectively. Parasite prevalence (percent of host infected) was $71.5{\pm}0.30%$, $54.3{\pm}1.68%$, and $29.6{\pm}1.42%$ at $25^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $15^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results suggest that biological control by parasitism on A. sanguinea bloom would not be highly effective during low water temperature season. Further, water temperature would be an important factor of bottom-up controls for the host-parasite population dynamics.

Twenty-two strains of nematophagous fungi were isolated from 100 soil samples. Nematophagous fungi were classified into three categories; 3-dimensional adhesive nets (A group), 2-dimensional adhesive nets (B group) and constricting ring (C group). Nine strains were selected and identified on the basis of morphological characteristics (hypha, conidiophore, form and size of conidia, number of conidia, node of conidophore, number and location of septa, size and color of chlamydospore) and ITS (internal transcribed spacer) region of rDNA sequences. As the results, the isolated were identified as belonging to the species of Monacrosporium thaumasium (Kan-2, Kan-4, Kan-11), Arthrobotrys oligospora (Kan-9, Kan-13, Kan-20, Kan-21), A. musiformis (Kan-12), and A. dactyloides (Kan-22).

An attempt was made to stimulate future research by providing exemplary information, which would integrate published knowledge to solve specific pest problem caused by resistance. This review was directed to find a way for delaying resistance development with consideration of chemical(s) nature, of mixture, rotation, or mosaics, and of insecticide(s) compatible with the biological agents in integrated pest management (IPM). The application frequency, related to the resistance development, was influenced by insecticide activity from potentiation, residual period, and the vulnerability to resistance development of chemical, with secondary pest. Chemical affected feeding, locomotion, flight, mating, and predator avoidance. Insecticides with negative cross-resistance by the difference of target sites and mode of action would be adapted to mixture, rotation and mosaic. Mixtures for delaying resistance depend on each component killing very high percentage of the insects, considering allele dominance, cross-resistance, and immigration and fitness disadvantage. Potential disadvantages associated with mixtures include disruption of biological control, resistance in secondary pests, selecting very resistant population, and extending cross-resistance range. The rotation would use insecticides in high and low doses, or with different metabolic mechanisms. Mosaic apply insecticides to the different sectors of a grid for highly mobile insects, spray unrelated insecticides to sedentary aphids in different areas, or mix plots of insecticide-treated and untreated rows. On the evolution of pest resistance, selectivity and resistance of parasitoids and predator decreased the number of generations in which pesticide treatment is required and they could be complementary to refuges from pesticides To enhance the viability of parasitoids, the terms on the insecticides selectivity and factors affecting to the selectivity in field were examined. For establishment of resistant parasitoid, migration, survivorship, refuge, alternative pesticides were considered. To use parasitoids under the pressure of pesticides, resistant or tolerant parasitoids were tested, collected, and/or selected. A parasitoid parasitized more successfully in the susceptible host than the resistant. Factors affecting to selective toxicity of predator are mixing mineral oil, application method, insecticide contaminated prey, trait of individual insecticide, sub-lethal doses, and the developmental stage of predators. To improve the predator/prey ratio in field, application time, method, and formulation of pesticide, reducing dose rate, using mulches and weeds, multicropping and managing of surroundings are suggested. Plant resistance, predator activity, selective insect growth regulator, and alternative prey positively contributed to the increase of the ratio. Using selective insecticides or insecticide resistant predator controlled its phytophagous prey mites, kept them below an economic level, increased yield, and reduced the spray number and fruits damaged.

This paper presents a natural enemy complex of plant and leafhoppers in rice plants and a relationship between the host insects and their natural enemies. Feeding preference of major paddy spiders have been tested. To date, 32 species of natural enemies of plant and leafhoppers have been recorded, including 30 species of parasites and predators (15 parasitoids, 14 predators and nematode) and 2 species of insect pathogens. Some of species have shown great potential for controlling plant-leafhoppers populations; parasites, Anagrus nr. flaveolus, Gonatocerus sp., Haplogonatopus atratus and paddy spiders. Pirata subpiraticus and Gnathonarium dentatum. Plant and leafhoppers-natural enemy relationship have been observed in different developmental stages of the host insects. Pirata sub-piraticus is the most active to searching the host insects and also prefered nymphs to adults.

For the biological control of the root-lesion nematodes, Pratylenchus spp., which damage directly and indirectly to the leaf perilla, the nematical effect of three nematode-trapping fungi, Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. conoides and A. dactyloides was evaluated in the field. Three species of Arthrobotrys were isolated from the culture soil of leaf perilla in 1998 and were observed the capture of the root-lesion nematodes, Pratylenchus spp. by adhesive hyphal networks or constricting rings on agar. At 40 days after treatment, the plant-parasitic nematodes and root-lesion nematode populations were approximately increased 3.5 fold in untreated control plot, while the nematode population in fungi treatment plots was similar to initial population. In the A. dactyloides plot, however, the population of plant-parasitic nematodes and Pratylenchus spp. was approximately reduced 65% and 53%, respectively. Thus, the fungus A. dachyloides should provide as biological agent for the control of Pratylenchus spp.

지구상에 서식하고 있는 포유강(Class: Mammalia), 박쥐목(Order: Chiroptera)에 속하는 박쥐류는 1,000여종에 이르는 것으로 알려졌으며, 포유류 중에서 1/4을 차지하고 있으며, 그 2/3는 곤충류를 포식하는 식충성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라에 서식하고 있는 박쥐류는 관박쥐과(Family:Rhinolophidae) 2종, 애기박쥐과(Family: Vespertilionidae) 28종, 큰귀박쥐과(Family: Molossidae) 1종으로서 총 31종이며, 모두 식충성 동물이다. 흡충류라고 하는 것은 편형동물문에 속하는 기생성 동물의 한 군으로서, 항온동물의 장이나 그 밖에 조직에 기생하는 것은 모두 하나 또는 두개 이상의 중간숙주를 필요로 하는 이생 흡충이다. 제1중간숙주는 고둥이지만 제2중간숙주는 여러 가지 변온동물로서 그 대부분은 생활사에 있어서 수서 생활을 하는 시기가 있는 것에 한정되지만 이는 제1중간숙주의 체내에서 형성된 꼬리유충이라고 하는 흡충류의 유생이 보통 물 속을 헤엄쳐 다니다가 제2중간숙주에 침입하게 된다. 박쥐류는 여러 가지 땅강아지나 개똥벌레를 포식하기 때문에 이들 유생이 물 속에서 흡충류의 피낭유충에 감염되었을 경우 박쥐류가 흡충류의 종숙주로서 적합하면 그 체내에서 피낭유충이 장에서 탈랑하여 드디어 성충으로 된다. 만일, 감염된 수서 곤충의 유생이 우화되면 그 유생 시대에 감염된 피낭유충이 그 숙주의 변태와는 상관없이 그 기생이 이어져 적당한 종숙주에게 섭취되기를 기다리게 된다. 우리나라에 있어서 박쥐류에 기생하는 흡충류에 관한 조사 연구는 일찌기 도쿄문리과 대학 동물학 연구실의 Ogata(1938)에 의하여 이루어진 이래 경성제국대학 의학부의 Park(1939a,b)과 후쿠오까대학 의학부의 Kifune et al.(1983, 1997)이 있을 뿐 우리나라 학자에 의한 연구 보고는 접할 수 없는 형편이다. 그럼으로, 우리나라 학자도 이에 관한 더욱 더 깊은 관심을 가져야할 것으로 생각하는 바 이에 지금까지 보고된 자료를 종합, 검토하여 기술하고자 한다.
