The genus Pseudoperonospora (Peronosporales, Oomycota) comprises six accepted species, including Ps. cubensis, which causes downy mildew on many economically important cucurbitaceous crops, and Ps. humuli, which occurs on hops. During a survey of downy mildew flora in Korea, a previously unreported species of Pseudoperonospora was found on Urtica angustifolia. Based on molecular phylogenetic and morphological analyses, the causal agent was identified as Pseudoperonospora urticae. This is the first report of Pseudoperonospora urticae occurring on Urtica angustifolia in Korea.

This paper presents analytical solutions for skewed thick plates under transverse loading that have previously been unreported in the literature. The thick plate solution is obtained in a framework of an oblique coordinate system. The governing equation is first derived in the oblique coordinate system, and the solution is obtained using deflection and rotation as partial derivatives of a potential function developed in this research. The solution technique is applied to three illustrative application examples, and the results are compared with numerical solutions in the literature and those derived from the commercial finite element analysis package ANSYS 11. These results are in excellent agreement. The present solution may also be used to model skewed structures such as skewed bridges, to facilitate efficient routine design or evaluation analyses, and to form special elements for finite element analysis. At the same time, the analytical solution developed in this research could be used to develop methods to address post-buckling and dynamic problems.

Pseudeurotium bakeri KNU14-21 isolated from crop field soil is a previously unreported fungal species in Korea. This fungal species was identified through morphological and molecular characteristics. Based on the shape and size of conidia and conidiophores as well as the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA, the isolate was confirmed to be Pseudeurotium bakeri. This species has not been previously reported from Korea, and this is the first report of its incidence in Korea.

In the screening of fungal diversity, two strains were collected from the soil of Yeongcheon and dissected guts from the bodies of Chinese rice grasshopper (Oxya chinensis), Chinese grasshopper (Acrida cinerea), and Far eastern devil grasshopper (Oedaleus infernalis) from Daejeon in Korea. They were identified as Umbelopsis vinacea (KNU-YC-1801B) and Mucor hiemalis f. corticola (KNU-20F7, KNU-20F8, KNU-20F9). Multigene phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, and large subunit (LSU) sequence data confirmed two unreported taxa along with their morphology. The results of molecular phylogeny firmly supported the detailed description and illustration for each taxon. As far as we know, both Umbelopsis vinacea and Mucor hiemalis f. corticola are the first reported taxa in Korea.

As part of a larger study with the aim to discover indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, nine bacterial strains were isolated and assigned to the phylum Proteobacteria in 2016. High 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (>98.5%) and formation of a robust phylogenetic clades with known species indicated that each strain belongs to an independent and predefined bacterial species. This is the first report of these nine species in Korea: two strains of the Methylobacterium, two strains of the Microvirga, one strain of the Pantoea, and four strains of the Psychrobacter, all within the Proteobacteria. Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, basic biochemical characteristics, and isolation sources are also described in the species description section.

A total of 118 fungal specimens were collected from Mt. Manggyeong, Chungnam province, Korea between July and October 2014. All specimens were identified to the species level using a combination of morphological characteristics and DNA sequencing. Out of 118 specimens, eight species, Amanita manginiana, A. pilosella, Calvatia holothurioides, Cantharellus tabernensis, Dicephalospora rufocornea, Gymnopus menehune, Marasmius brunneospermus, and Russula cerolens, have not been previously reported in Korea.

The alpheid shrimps collected from Jeju-do turned out to belong to the genus Automate unreported from Korean waters. Automate dolichognatha is recorded for the first time in Korean waters. Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of 19 species of seven genera.

Fish-borne heterophyid trematodes are known to have a zoonotic potential, since at least 30 species are able to infect humans worldwide, with a global infection of around 7 million people. In this paper, a 'state-of-the-art' review of the South American heterophyid species is provided, including classical and molecular taxonomy, parasite ecology, host-parasite interaction studies and a list of species and their hosts. There is still a lack of information on human infections in South America with undetected or unreported infections probably due to the information shortage and little attention by physicians to these small intestinal flukes. Molecular tools for specific diagnoses of South American heterophyid species are still to be defined. Additional new sequences of Pygidiopsis macrostomum, Ascocotyle pindoramensis and Ascocotyle longa from Brazil are also provided.

Lamotrigine is a newer anti-epileptic drug for adjunctive treatment of refractory epilepsy, partial seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and bipolar disorder. Lamotrigine overdose causes serious central nervous and cardiovascular problems, but reports are uncommon. Few lamotrigine overdoses have been described because anti-epileptic drug use is limited and usually used with combination of other anti-epileptic drugs. In addition, most patients visit emergency departments with multi-drug overdoses, so few cases of lamotrigine poisoning alone exist. We had a female patient visit our emergency department a couple of hours after a lamotrigine overdose treated with intravenous hydration and urine alkalization by NaHCO3. She recovered successfully without any evidence of renal injury. However, she developed profound rhabdomyolysis, a previously unreported complication of this medication. We suggest that serial creatine kinase levels should be measured after lamotrigine poisoning.
