Background: The purpose of this study, mosquito forecast system implemented by Seoul Metropolitan city, was to obtain the mosquito prediction formula by using the mosquito population data and the environmental data of the past. Results: For this study, the mosquito population data from April 1, 2015, to October 31, 2017, were collected. The mosquito population data were collected from the 50 smart mosquito traps (DMSs), two of which were installed in each district (Korean, gu) in Seoul Metropolitan city since 2015. Environmental factors were collected from the Automatic Weather System (AWS) by the Korea Meteorological Administration. The data of the nearest AWS devices from each DMS were used for the prediction formula analysis. We found out that the environmental factors affecting the mosquito population in Seoul Metropolitan city were the mean temperature and rainfall. We predicted the following equations by the generalized linear model analysis: ln(Mosquito population) = 2.519 + 0.08 × mean temperature + 0.001 × rainfall. Conclusions: We expect that the mosquito forecast system would be used for predicting the mosquito population and to prevent the spread of disease through mosquitoes.

In a DCT coding, degradations called block artifact and mosquito noise are appeared in reconstructed pictures. They should be reduced in post processing after decoding without superabundant processing. However, an estimation of mosquito noise is rare because of its difficulty. To realize an estimation of mosquito noise level, we extract a block that mosquito noise will be easy to occur. Mosquito noise level is calculated at a selected side of the block. In this processing, only the sides of high probability block are used. Then, a block value is taken by averaging. Finally, the picture value is calculated by averaging of this. Estimation method is evaluated by using the MPEG-4 decoded pictures. Quantization scale of coding and the estimated mosquito noise level are compared. As the results, we recognize the proposed method gives almost reasonable mosquito block and absolute level. Father, adaptive filter is controlled by the estimated mosquito noise level. It is recognized that the high quality of decoded picture is kept and the mosquito noise is reduced effectively at the picture with degradation.

This paper describes the development process of mosquito trap with the effect of air cleaning by using the substance-field analysis and evolution pattern of systems in the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ). By the concept of standard solution about introducing S3 substance, modification of S1 (human) and S2 (mosquito) between first substance SI and second substance S2 with harmful effect, we got the concept of the mosquito trap with mosquito attractants instead of mosquito reluctants such as mosquito stick coil and skin medicine w~th bad and toxic smell. The number of mosquitos traped by one trap near cattle shed per one n~ght in summer, was over 10 thousands with some effects of air cleaning.

A catch basin sump is one major habitat for mosquito larvae, especially in urban areas. This study developed a device for mosquito control, specifically for the catch basin sump. It consists of a housing, is a little smaller than the catch basin sump, numerous floating materials, which the key component for mosquito control, and mesh nets. The small balls or pyramid-shaped floating materials inhibit mosquito enclosures and spawning by significantly decreasing the surface area of the water, which is essential for the mosquito life cycle. These floating materials were designed to keep the water flowing. The mesh nets were installed to prevent the outflow of floating materials. The efficiency of the floating materials was tested with 3 conditions (1, 2, 3 layers of floating materials) and a control group. The emergence of mosquito adults decreased by 20% in one-layer, and 70-80% in second and third layers. Therefore, this device is expected to certainly contribute to mosquito population control in the catch basin sump.

As a carrier of malaria and sneak of blood, mosquitoes are regarded as an unpleasant insect. However, there are novel phenomena that happen inside a mosquito. Among them, we focused on the blood sucking function of a female mosquito. The main objective of this study was to investigate the mosquito's pumping mechanism in order to resolve the problem encountered when we inject or transport biologic fluids into a micro-chip. To analyze the pumping mechanism, we visualized the blood sucking process inside a female mosquito. Flow characteristics of blood flow in a proboscis were investigated experimentally using a micro-PIV velocity field measurement technique. The anatomical variation of head, thorax, abdomen which work as pumps and valves, was visualized using the syncrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique.

모기는 감염병을 매개하는 생물종으로서 인간생활에 불편을 야기하며, 교통 및 운송수단 등의 발달로 인해 새로운 질병 도입 및 질병 매개체의 확산에 대한 우려가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 환경부 토지피복지도 분류체계와 연계하여 모기가 발생 가능한 서식지 유형을 파악하고, 각각의 서식지 유형 특성에 따라 출현 가능한 모기 종류를 함께 구분하였다. 또한 모기의 생태적 특성을 고려하여, 서식지 유형별로 최적의 방제 방법을 제시하였다. 도심지역은 위생 해충의 발생원이 다양한 서식지가 분포하는 지역으로, 최소 환경 조건만 갖춰진다면 모기가 대량 발생하기 적합한 환경일 것으로 보인다. 발생원이 광범위하기 때문에 유충과 성충 방제를 같이 수행하며, 시민들을 대상으로 방제 교육이나 홍보물을 배부하여 적극적인 방제의식을 함양시키는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다. 농업지역의 경우, 저수지나 늪지, 논 등의 정수역에서 모기 유충의 서식밀도가 높을 것으로 예상되어 천적생물을 이용한 생물학적 방제를 이용하면 개체수를 조절하는 데 유용할 것으로 보인다. 산림지역은 흰줄숲모기(Aedes albopictus)의 주요 서식지로서 무분별한 산림벌채를 최소화하고 인근 거주민을 대상으로 물리적 방제를 실시해야 할 것으로 판단되며, 기타지역은 수생태계를 중심으로 발생 가능한 모기 유충을 방제하기 위해 생물학적 방제와 Bti를 이용한 화학적 방제가 병행되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 서식지를 크게 4가지(도심지역, 농업지역, 산림지역, 기타지역)로 분류하여 모기에게 적합한 서식지를 고찰하였으며, 모기 서식지별로 적합한 방제법을 제시하였다. 모기의 개체수를 보다 효율적으로 조절하고, 하절기 시민들의 불편과 피해를 감소시킬 수 있는 기초자료로 제공할 수 있을 것으로 전망한다.

곤충이 곰팡이병에 감염되는 것을 흔히 볼 수 있고, 대부분은 이들에 대해 감수성을 나타내고 있다. 최근 살충제 저항성이 문제가 되면서 곤충병원성 곰팡이를 이용한 모기 방제에 대한 연구가 더욱 주목을 받고 있고, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lagenidium giganteum와 같은 병원성 곰팡이를 모기 방제에 사용하기 위해 노력 중이다. 이 총설에서는 말라리아, 뎅기열, 사상충, 황열병 등을 옮기는 모기들의 방제에 사용되는 곤충병원성 곰팡이를 정리하고 이들의 활용방안을 논하였다.

Climate change due to global warming and changes in land use increase the development time and distribution, as well as the abundance, of mosquitoes, thereby negatively affecting human life and health. In this study, we investigated the habitat characteristics of mosquito occurrence sites in Danwon-gu, Ansan city, Korea, based on a daily record of civil pest complaints lodged at the Danwon-gu Community Health Center. We considered two types of factors (natural and artificial) known to affect mosquito occurrence. We confirmed a total of 554 cases of mosquito occurrence from March 2014 to August 2017. The total study area was $49.11km^2$, with urban areas constituting the largest proportion. Additionally, we investigated habitat preferences of mosquitoes in terms of terrain factors; generally, mosquitoes occurred at low elevations and on low slopes. Regarding the preference of oviposition sites, mosquitoes occurred at higher rates near streams and crops lands. The rate of mosquito occurrence tended to increase in areas with dense human populations. Regarding climatic factors, the rate of mosquito occurrence increased in areas with high temperature and low precipitation.
