현재 인체에는 기새하는 Taenia 조충으로는 돼지고기 유구낭미층(Cysticercus cellulosae)을 먹어서 감염되는 Taenia solium Linnaeus 1785과 쇠고기의 무구낭미층(Cysticercus bovis)을 먹어서 감염되는 Taenia saginata Goeze 1782 두 종이 알려져 있다. 한편 인체에 기생하는 제 3의 Taenia 조충으로 최근 타이완, 한국, 인도내시아, 태국, 필리핀 등 아시아국가를 중심으로 발견되는 Asian Taenia saginata 조충은 돼지나 소의 간 또는 내장에 있는 내장형낭미충을 먹어서 감염되는 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 이러한 생활사상의 구분에도 불구하고 형태하적으로는 본충이 Taenia saginate Groeze 1782와 유사하기 때문에 아직 신종으로 인정되지 않은 상태이다. 이에 연구자들은 Asian Taenia saginata 조충의 형태학적 구분점을 새로이 발견하고 학명으로서 Taenia asiatica sp.n.(한국명:아시아조총)을 제시하고자 한다. 감별적으로는 1.선충의 두절에 있는 액취의 존재, 2. 성충의 수태편절에서 관찰되는 자궁세지의 수, 3.성충의 수태관절에서 관찰되는 미돌기의 존재 및 4.유추의 낭벽표면에서 관찰되는 사마귀양 구조가 광학 및 전자현경적으로 관찰되었다. 이중 '자궁세지'와 '미돌기'는 새로이 관찰하여 기재하는 구조물로서 처음으로 Taeniid의 종감별에 사용하였다.

프라지관텔 주사제의 조충류 피료 효과를 평가하였다. 개, 고양이, 산양, 사슴, 닭, 쥐 및 마우스 등 총 93마리 동물의 장관내에 기성하는 조충류 dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis, Spirometra sp., Taenia taeniaeformis, Moniekia expanse, Moniexia sp., Raillietina sP. 및 인ymenolepis nana에 체중 kg당 프라지콴텔 12 mg, 9 mg, 6 mg, 3 mg, 1.5 mg을 대퇴부에 근육주사한 후 치료효과를 판정하였다. H. nana에 감염된 마우스는 6mg/kg 투여 후 3시 간부터 6시 간 사이에 충체를 배출하였다. 다른 조충류도 약제투여 48시 간 이내에 모두 체외로 배출되었다. H. nana 및 M. expansa를 제외한 모든 충체는 체외 배출시 심하게 손상되어 있었으며, D.cnninum의 충란낭은 붕괴되어 충란이 분리되었다. 조충의 종류와 감염강도 등에 따른 숙주 체중 kg당 투여 용량의 차이는 관찰되지 않았으며 Spirometra sp.에 감염되었던 한 마리의 개를 제외하고는 프락지관텔 6 mg/kg 1회 용량으로 완치되어 97.9% (46/47)의 치유율을 보임으로써 우수한 치료 효과를 나타내었다.

Even though Taenia spp. eggs are occasionally discovered from archeological remains around the world, these eggs have never been discovered in ancient samples from Korea. When we attempted to re-examine the archeological samples maintained in our collection, the eggs of Taenia spp., 5 in total number, were recovered from a tomb of Gongju-si. The eggs had radially striated embryophore, and $37.5-40.0\;{\mu}m{\times}37.5\;{\mu}m$ in size. This is the first report on taeniid eggs from ancient samples of Korea, and it is suggested that intensive examination of voluminous archeological samples should be needed for identification of Taenia spp.

The present study reports a rare case of Taenia saginata infection, which was initially diagnosed as acute cholecystitis in a Tibetan patient at the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau pastoral area, China. A 45-year-old female was initially diagnosed with acute cholecystitis at a hospital in China. She had a slight fever, weight loss and constipation and complained of pain in the upper abdomen and left back areas. Increase of monocyte, eosinophil and basophil levels were shown. Taenia sp. eggs were detected in a fecal examination. An adult tapeworm approximately 146 cm in length, whitish-yellow color, was collected from the patient after treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. The adult tapeworm had a scolex and proglottids with genital pores. The scolex was rectangular shape with 4 suckers and rostellum without hooklet. The cox1 gene sequence shared 99.5-99.8% homology with that of T. saginata from other regions in China. The patient was diagnosed finally infected with T. saginata by morphological and molecular charateristics.

Helminthological parasites for inhabitants in Boeun-Gun, Chungbuk province were survyed. Total infection rate was 21.4% and helminth ova of-seven species were observed: Clonorchis sinensis 11.7%, Metagonimus sp. 7.0%, Echinostoma hortense 2.7%, Taenia sp. 2.3%, Ascaris lumbri-coides 0.8%, Trichuris trichiura 1.6% and Enterobius vermicularis 3.5%. Infection rate of food-transmitted helminths (C. sinensis, Metagonimus sp. E.hortense, Taenia sp.) was 76.4% (42/55), soil-transmitted helminths (A.lumbricoides, T. trichiura) was 7.3% (4/55), contageous helminths(E. vermicularis) was 16.3% (9/55). Multiple infection rate was 30.9% and most of them were limited in snail-transmitted helminths(C.sinensis, Melagonimas sp., E. hortense). Infection rate of male (18. 3%) was higher than those of female (3.1%). Intensities of C.sinensis and Metagonimus sp. were light or moderate, showed 530 and 444 by mean E.P.G. respectively. In this survey, we newly found the small endemic areas of E.hortense, which was previously reported sporadically in Korea other than in Chungbuk province.

1982년 7월부터 1984년 5월까지 동진강의 본류와 여러 지류에서 채집된 담수어류는 모두 10과 38속48종이고 기수역에서는 해산어류 17속 18종이 동정되었다. 동진강 본류의 우점종은 Rhinogobius brunneus 와 Zacco platypus이고, 각 지류에서는 Abbottina springeri, Hemiculter eigenmanni 및 Moroco oxycephalus 등이며 특히 본 조사 수역에서 Pelteobagrus nitidus 와 Lefua costata의 서식이 확인된 것은 담수어의 지리적 분포에 있어 주목되는 사실이다. 한편 섬진강 수류가 동진강에 유입되므로 인하여 섬진강에 서식하던Hypomesus olidus, Hemiculter eigenmanni, Pseudobagrus sp., Liobagrus mediadiposalis, Cobitis taenia striata 및 Lepomis macrchirus가 도입되었으나 이 어류들은 모두 생태적으 로 안정되지 않았다. 동진강 본류의 중간수역에는 섬진강에서 도입된 Cobitis taenia striata와 동진강 중하류에 서식하는 C. taenia lutheri의 2아종이 재결합하여 형성되었다고 추측되는 중간형의 많은 표본이 출현하였다. 한편 동진강 본류와 상중류에 서식하는 C. koreensis의 체측반문의 모양자 수는 C. koreensis의 다른 지리집단의 것과 비교하여 볼 때 큰 차이가 있었는데, 이것도 섬진강 수류의 유입에 의한 찬 수온과 빠른 유속 등의 환경에 기인된 것이라 사료된다.

An excavation of the Vesakoyakha II-IV and Nyamboyto I burial grounds was conducted during the 2014 field season, and soil samples from intact burials dating from the 19th and 20th centuries, respectively, were analyzed to determine interactions between parasites and host/vectors. Considering the discovery of Diphyllobothrium sp. and Taenia sp. eggs in soil samples from the pelvic region, diphyllobothriasis was the most frequent helminthic infection among the Taz Nenets. The Nyamboyto Nenets mainly consumed uncooked fish, while the Vesakoyakha Nenets had a bigger variety in food choices, including reindeer meat. Nenets children were given raw fish from early childhood. The paleoparasitological results corroborate rare ethnographic records about the consumption of uncooked reindeer cerebrum which led to beef tapeworm helminthiases. This is the first parasitological report of helminthic diseases among the Taz Nenets, and, as such, it provides insight into their subsistence activities and food patterns and broadens our understanding of their health condition.

The aim of this study is to determine the species of parasites that affected the inhabitants of the city of Acre on the coast of the eastern Mediterranean during the Ottoman Period. This is the first archaeological study of parasites in the Ottoman Empire. We analysed sediment from a latrine dating to the early 1800s for the presence of helminth eggs and protozoan parasites which caused dysentery. The samples were examined using light microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. We found evidence for roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworm (Trichuris trichiura), fish tapeworm (Dibothriocephalus sp.), Taenia tapeworm (Taenia sp.), lancet liver fluke (Dicrocoelium dendriticum), and the protozoa Giardia duodenalis and Entamoeba histolytica. The parasite taxa recovered demonstrate the breadth of species present in this coastal city. We consider the effect of Ottoman Period diet, culture, trade and sanitation upon risk of parasitism in this community living 200 years ago.

Shahr-e Sukhteh (meaning burnt city in Persian) in Iran is an archeological site dated back to around 3,200-1,800 BC. It is located in Sistan and Baluchistan Province of Iran and known as the junction of Bronze Age trade routes crossing the Iranian plateau. It was appointed as current study area for paleoparasitological investigations. Excavations at this site have revealed various archeological materials since 1967. In the present study, sheep and carnivore coprolites excavated from this site were analyzed by means of rehydration technique using TSP solution for finding helminth eggs. Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Capillaria sp., and Taenia sp. eggs were identified, while some other objects similar to Anoplocephalidae and Toxocara spp. eggs were also retrieved from the samples but their measured parameters did not match those of these species. The present paper illustrates the first paleoparasitological findings of Bronze Age in eastern Iran supporting the economic activities, peopling, and communication as well as the appropriate condition for zoonotic helminthiasis life cycle in Shahr-e Sukhteh archeological site.

1983年 5月 錦江 支流인 美瑚川 (忠北道 淸源郡 梧倉面)에서 아직까지 報告되지 않은 Cobitis屬 魚類 1種을 發見하여 이를 新種 Cobitis choii라고 記載하고, 國名으로는 [미호종개]로 提唱한다. 本 新種은 美瑚川에서 함께 出現하는 참종개 C. Koreensis와 점줄종개 C. taenia lutheri와 비슷하게 보이지만, 本 新種은 體側斑紋이 둥글고, 수컷의 가슴지느러미 基部에 있는 骨質盤에는 鋸齒가 있으며, 비늘의 크기는 아주 작고, 尾柄部가 가늘게 되어있는 등, 그 모양이 Cobitis屬의 여러 旣知種과도 현저하게 다르다.
