A group of benign Theileria species, which are often referred to as T. orientalis/T. buffeli/T. sergenti group, has low pathogenicity in cattle. Herein, we report on Theileria spp. in cattle on a farm from China. Based on phylogenetic analysis of the major piroplasm surface protein gene sequences, we detected 6 genotypes that were categorized as Types 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as well as an additional Type 9 genotype. The new epidemiological features of the T. orientalis/T. buffeli/T. sergenti parasites in China indicate a greater diversity in the genetics of these species than had been previously thought.

A peroxidase-antiperoxidase method was used to detect the cells showing immunoreactivities to six hormone antibodies in the alimentary tracts of six frog species, Rana nigromaculata, R. rugosa, R. amurensis coreana, R. catesbeiana, Bombina orientalis, and Hyla arborea japonica, inhabiting Korea. The cells immunoreactive to gastrin and cholecystokinin-8 were observed in the pylorus of the stomachs and in the small intestines of all frog species examined. In contrast, these somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were identified in the esophagus and the whole gastrointestinal tracts, but were absent from the large intestines in R. rugosa, R. catesbeiana, B. orientalis and H. arborea japonica. The pancreatic polypeptide (PP)-immunoreactive cells represented their distribution limited to the small intestines of R. amurensis coreana and H. arborea japonica, and they were additionally identified in the pylorus of the stomachs in the other four species. Serotonin- and glucagon- Immunoreactive cells revealed different regional distributions in which the former were observed throughout the whole alimentary tracts in all frog species investigated, whereas the latter were not found in these regions at all. Endocrine cells were relatively abundant in the pyloric portion of the stomach compared to other organs. The present study showed that all endocrine cells except for PP had a similar distribution in the alimentary tracts of all frog species used.

In this research we determined the levels of heavy metals in soil and metal-accumulating plants from a D military shooting site in the Kyungkido district of Korea. The data obtained may be useful in the development of methods for the efficient phytoremediation of contaminated soil. The total Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations in the soil were found to be 1.67-5.04 mg/kg, 52.51-106.26 mg/kg, 37.24-90.32mg/kg, and 111.45-188.19mg/kg, respectively. These results show that the soil is contaminated with Cd and Cu, and this contamination is particularly severe in the case of Cd because of its high bioavailability (25-57% of the total metal in the soil is exchangeable). The high concentrations of heavy metals in the shoots of Persicaria thunbergii and Artemisia princeps var. orientalis indicate that these plants (all perennial herbs) accumulate heavy metal efficiently. Further, these plants were found to contain more Cd in its shoots (＞60% of the total metal found in the plant) than any other plant; these results indicate that these native species are particularly suited to use in Cd phytoextraction.

Five hundrad and eight rats were caught in Shiheung-dong and Mt. Kwan-ak from 1986 to 1987 in this survey. Ectoparasites were got from these rats and classified. The results were as follows: 9,191 mites (16 genera, 30 species), 408 fleas (4 genera, 4 species), and 521 lice (3 genera, 5 species) were observed in this survey. In the residential area, Rattus norvesicus(71.74%) was dominant species and in Mt. Kwan-ak Apodemus agrarius(93.62%). In these areas, the mites belonging to suborder Mesostigmata were dominant (Laelaps nuttli, 52.61%; Ornithonyssus bacoti, 36.05%). In Mt. Kwan-ak, family Frombiculidae belonging to suborder Prostigmata were dominant (Leptotromibidium orientalis, 31.04%; Leptotrombidium palpalis, 30.00%). In this way, it was discovered that the difference between the two regions in dominant species was noticeable. As for the hosts parasitized by mites, L. nuttalli in R. norvegicus (54.85%), L. nuttalli in R. rattus (32.90%), and L. orientalis in A. agrarius (31.27%) were dominant species, respectively. In the mites parasitizing on A. agrarius in each altitude, the species were more varied as the region was lower and the dominant species were more concentrated as it was higher.

양서류는 생태학적으로 육상생태계와 육수생태계를 연결하는 분류군이며, 생태계 먹이사슬에서 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있다. 전 세계적으로 약 5,948종이 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 산업혁명 이후 산업화와 도시화로 인하여 종 및 개체군의 감소가 발생하고 있으며, 특히, 인공 수로에 의한 서식처 단절 또는 파편화를 심화시키는 요인이 되고 있어 인공 수로 내 야생동물 생존성 향상을 위하여 수로 탈출시설을 설치하여 저감하고 있다. 본 연구는 주로 산림 인근에서 서식하는 무당개구리를 대상으로 수로 탈출시설의 경사각, 수로 높이, 운영 중인 시설에서의 탈출률 및 이동 거리를 분석하였다. 수로 탈출시설의 경사각은 50° 및 60°에서는 높이와 상관없이 비교적 유사한 탈출 성공률을 나타내는 반면에 경사각 70°에서는 높이 40cm에서만 비교적 높은 탈출 성공률을 나타났다. 운영 중인 수로 탈출시설에서의 탈출 성공률은 14.71%로 이용률은 매우 저조한 것으로 나타났으며, 수로 측면 벽을 따라 이동함으로써 수로 탈출시설의 인지율이 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 무당개구리를 위한 수로 탈출시설의 경우 60° 각도로 조성 가능하며, 인공 수로의 측면 벽을 60° 이내로 조성할 경우 무당개구리의 양방향 이동이 자유로움으로 기존의 수로 탈출시설의 낮은 이용률을 극복하고 수로의 이동 및 고사로 인한 영향을 최소화할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 수로 탈출시설 간격을 설치 기준인 30m보다 간격을 좁히고, 경사로를 상·하류 양방향으로 조성하게 되면, 무당개구리 이외의 양서류, 파충류, 소형 포유류 등의 탈출 성공률이 향상될 것으로 판단된다.

참다랑어(Thunnus orientalis)의 배합사료 개발을 위해 전갱이(Trachrus japonicus) 근육 합성 엑기스(SE)를 사용하여 omission test를 통해 섭이촉진물질을 검색하였다. 인공종묘 생산된 참다랑어 치어(평균체중 $9.0{\pm}0.91\;g$: 실험 1, 2, 3; $1.6{\pm}0.23\;g$: 실험 4)를 사용하여 전갱이 근육 100 g 상당 함량의 각각의 섭이촉진 물질을 카제인 기초 사료에 첨가하여 총 4회의 사육실험을 실시하였다. 실험 1에서 인공합성엑기스(SE)와 SE로부터 아미노산 관련 화합물(SE-A), 핵산관련물질(SE-N) 그리고 유기염기화합물(SE-O)을 각각 제외한 시험액을 제조하여 천연 전갱이 근육 엑기스(NE)와 비교한 결과, SE-A와 SE-N구는 SE보다 낮은 섭이활성을 보였으나, SE-O구는 SE와 유사한 섭이활성을 보였다. 실험 2에서는 IMP가 섭이 촉진에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것이 인정되었으며, 실험 3에서는 L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine, L-lysine, taurine 그리고 IMP의 혼합물이 SE와 섭이활성의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 실험 4에서는 L-histidine, L-glutamine 그리고 IMP 혼합물이 가장 높은 섭이활성을 보였으며, 그 다음으로는 SE, L-lysine, L-alanine and IMP 혼합물, L-histidine, L-glutamic acid, L-lysine and L-alanine과 IMP의 혼합물이 높은 섭이활성을 보였다. 본 연구결과 참다랑어 치어의 유효 섭이촉진물질은 L-histidine, L-glutamic acid 그리고 IMP로 판단되었다.

Most known species in the Physalacriaceae are saprotrophs that grow on decaying leaves and wood, and approximately 21 genera in the Physalacriaceae have been reported worldwide. During an ongoing survey of indigenous fungi in Korea, four specimens belonging to the Physalacriaceae were collected on Ulleung Island. These specimens were identified as three species based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of rDNA-internal transcribed spacer sequences. Three species in three genera were shown to be new records in Korea: Hymenopellis orientalis, Paraxerula hongoi, and Ponticulomyces orientalis. The latter two are the first records of these genera in Korea. In this study, we provide detailed morphological descriptions of these species and describe their phylogenetic position within the Physalacriaceae.

Based on samples collected from the Korean Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) during an investigation of fishery resources by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) from 2002 to 2010, alongside some supplemental material, six species of the genus $Plesionika$ are identified: $P.$ $izumiae$ Omori, 1971, $P.$ $ortmanni$ Doflein, 1902, $P.$ $grandis$ Doflein, 1902, $P.$ $lophotes$ Chace, 1985, $P.$ $narval$ (Fabricius, 1787), and $P.$ $orientalis$ Chace, 1985. Of these, the last four species are new to Korean marine fauna. The distributional range of $P.$ $narval$ extends to the East China Sea off Jeju Island. Excluding $P.$ $izumiae$ and $P.$ $ortmanni$, the other four species are relatively rare in the seas around Korea. They are described and illustrated with color photographs. A key to the Korean species of $Plesionika$ is also presented.

Since 1993, sudden and massive death has occurred among penaeid shrimp, Penaeus orientalis cultured in Korea. We investigated the pathological characterizations on the spontaneously and experimentally infected penaeid shrimp. The major gross findings of the spontaneous cases were 2-6mm sized-white spots on the inside of the carapace and reddish discolorization. Histopathologically, massive necrosis of lymphoid organ, degeneration and necrosis of epithelia of epidermis and foregut were observed in both spontaneous and experimental cases. Amphophilic to basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were readly observed epithelia of epidermis, foregut and gills. Electron microscopy revealed enveloped, non-occuluded ellipsoid to rod shaped virus particles, within the nucleus, in the lymphoid organs and interstitial cells of hepatopancreas of both spontaneously and experimentally infected shrimps. The size of the virion was $375{\times}167nm$, and the nucleocapsid was $290{\times}75nm$. The causative agent causing massive death in penaeid shrimps in Korea resembles baculovirus associated with white spot syndrome (WSBV) occurred in Taiwan in virus morphology and gross and histological changes of the shrimps.
