  • The old books which have been colored to brown spots were analyzed chemically to compare with white part. The original raw materials were paper mulberry (Broussonetia Kazine) and woodpulp. White part contained58.8%($\alpha$-37.2%,$\beta$-8.6%, $\gamma$-12.7%)cellulose, 21.7% hemicellulose, 19.8% lignin,4.4% pentosan and brown sopt part contained 49.1%($\alpha$-19.8%, $\beta$-14.5%,$\gamma$-14.8%) cellulose, 27.1% hemicellulose, 23.8% lignin, 4.8% pentosan. Both of brown spot and white parts contained starch without protein. The pH was 4.9 in brown and 5.0 in white part respecitively. The brown spot parts were more solidified than white parts according to SEM observation. Difference of organiccompinent in brown part came from white part were 2-hydroxy-benzaldehydeand phenol.

  • Because of the great concern over the possibility of contamination from the rod-shaped nuclear virus (PRDV) from Japan and white spot virus (WSSV) from Taiwan, most eggs used in Korean shrimp farms are currently obtained from local broodstock. In addition, the screening of imported broodstock for any viral presence at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute is also mandatory. Nonetheless, massive mortality from white spot syndrome continues in Korea. In the present study, we present an improved PCR method to use tissue-extracted DNA instead of viral DNA extracted from a purified virus based on a sucrose density gradient, and produced results within 8 h. In 1998, this modified PCR method was able to detect that diseased Penaeus japonicus were infected within 8 h. In 1998, this modified PCR method was able to detect that diseased Penaeus japonicus were infected only with PRDV, while Fenneropenaeus chinensis were infected with both PRDV and WSSV. In 1999, PRDV and WSSV were detected in F. chinensis with signs of infection, but not with WSSV alone.

  • White spot disease (WSD) is caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), which results in devastating losses to the shrimp farming industry around the world. However, the mechanism of virus entry and spread into the shrimp cells is unknown. A binding assay in vitro demonstrated VP28-EGFP (envelope protein VP28 fused with enhanced green fluorescence protein) binding to shrimp cells. This provides direct evidence that VP28-EGFP can bind to shrimp cells at pH 6.0 within 0.5 h. However, the protein was observed to enter the cytoplasm 3 h post-adsorption. Meanwhile, the plaque inhibition test showed that the polyclonal antibody against VP28 (a major envelope protein of WSSV) could neutralize the WSSV and block an infection with the virus. The result of competition ELISA further confirmed that the envelope protein VP28 could compete with WSSV to bind to shrimp cells. Overall, VP28 of the WSSV can bind to shrimp cells as an attachment protein, and can help the virus enter the cytoplasm.

  • Traditional Chinese herbal drugs, namely, Atractylodes Rhizome and Atractylodes Rhizome White were identified by means of chemical analysis such as TLC and GC/MS. In Korea, the old-grown and the newly-grown rhizomes of Atractylodes japonica Koidzumi (Compositae) are used as the Atractylodes Rhizome and the Atractylodes Rhizome White, respectively. Both rhizomes contain the atractylon asa major spot on TLC. The content of atractylon in a newly-grown rhizome of A. japonica (Atractylodes Rhizome White called in Korea) appears to contain much larger quantity in comparison with that of an old-growon one (Atractylodes Rhizome). The TLC spot pattern analysis showed that rhizomes of A. japonica and A. macrocephala contain the atractylon as a major indicator spot, but no atractylodin (extreamly small amount). However, rhizomes of A. lancea De Candolle and A. koreana Kitamura contain the atractylodin as a major indicator spot.

  • Disease incidence of Codonopsis lanceolata was surveyed at the major cultivating fields in Chonbuk province in 1996 to 1997. The main diseases of Codonopsis lanceolata were ovserved as leaf spot caused by Septoria codonopsis, anthracnose by Glomerella cingulata, brown leaf spot by Cercospora sp., rust by Coleosporium koreanum, powdery mildew by Erysiphe sp., Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxyporum, and white root rot by Sclerotium rolfsii. Anthracnose, leaf spot and brown leaf spot occurred severely on leaves from early July to late August. They were caused early fallen leaves. Fusarium wilt and white root rot occurred severely on stem and below the soil line in late August. They resulted in withering to death or chlorosis and fallen of leaves. Disease incidence of Codonopsis lanceolata was also substantially different in occurrence with a method of cultivation in late growth stage. Fusarium wilt and white root rot were more severe with a method of no support cultivation than those with a method of support cultivation with a stick. Fusarium wilt occurred 48.8% in a method of no support cultivation but 3.1% in a method of support cultivation with a stick. And white root rot occurred 18.9% in a method of no support cultivation but 0.3% in a method of no support cultivation with a stick. Thus, it proved that soil-borne diseases could be controlled support cultivation with a stick.

  • We developed and subsequently characterized mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against recombinant VP28 structural protein (rVP28) of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). We established six hybridoma clones secreting MAbs against rVP28: 15A11, 20G6, 31H2, 34H6, 38D1 and 43A1. All six MAbs recognized the 25 kDa of protein in gill homogenates of WSSV-infected shrimp by western blot analysis, while no reactivity was observed in gill homogenates of normal shrimp. Moreover, high enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) optical density (OD) values (0.8-2.68) were observed in the hemolymphs from WSSV-infected shrimp, while low OD values (less than 0.24) were recorded in the hemolymphs from normal shrimp, by using these six MAbs produced in this study. These results suggest that these six MAbs are useful for the detection of WSSV.

  • White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a prevalent and virulent pathogen affecting cultured whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in Korea. In this study, seven monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (10A12, 16C3, 17G4, 21G5, 22C4, 23B6 and 24G6) were produced by using purified WSSV. The reactivity of these mAbs was analysed by Western blot (WB), indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), and lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA). WB analysis demonstrated that three mAbs (17G4, 22C4, and 23B6) reacted specifically to VP28 with an approximate molecular weight of 24 kDa, mAb 16C3 reacted with approximately 17 kDa. IIF analysis demonstrated specific fluorescence signals on gill tissues of WSSV-infected shrimp, with five mAbs (10A12, 16C3, 22C4, 23B6, and 24G6), pleopods from WSSV-infected shrimp were used for LFIA, where, two mAbs (21G5 and 22C4) exhibited positive reaction. In conclusion, it can be inferred that the mAbs usage and specificity depends on the nature of assay used for diagnosis.

  • The virions of causative virus for white spot syndrome in cultured Fresh shrimp, Penaeus chinensis were rod-shaped, double envelope. An average size of the virion was 70 nm in diameter and $250\~300$ nm in length. Histopathological test of affected stomach, heart, and lymphoid organ revealed nuclear hypertrophy. Infectivity trials carried out by injection and feeding with purified virus revealed high cumulative mortality to healthy shrimp. The twenty one different protein species were detected in the analysis of virion. The length of total DNA from the purified virus particles were detected as a single band, double-stranded DNA molecule of approximately 114 kb.

  • Research in low cost feeds with high nutritional value and immunogenicity is important to reduce production cost and increase yields in the shrimp industry. In this study, immunostimulants of bacterial origin (peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharides) and egg white were incorporated in shrimp diets as feed additives to determine the growth, survival and tolerance of Penaeus monodon to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Although the results obtained were not statistically significant (p>0.05) among the treatments, shrimp fed with bacterial additives and egg white showed higher weight gain, specific growth rate and survival than those fed on commercial shrimp diet. Shrimp fed with artificial diet showed 100% mortality when challenged with WSSV. However, shrimp fed on peptidoglycan supplemented diet had higher survival than their counterpart, whereas shrimp fed on egg white supplemented diet had a higher specific growth rate and better tolerance when challenged with WSSV. Further studies are required to determine the effectiveness and optimization of bacterial strains and egg white as feed additives to increase production and enhance the shrimp immune response to diseases.

  • 1993년 초여름부터 발생한 양식대하의 WSBV에 의한 대량 폐사가 1996년에는 폐사율이 거의 75%에 이를 정도로 피해가 많이 발생하였다(허 등, 1998). WSBV에 감염된 새우는 두흉갑과 체표에 흰반점 증상이 나타나므로 병명을 일반적으로 White spot syndrome disease(WSSD)라고 하고 원인 바이러스를 WSBV라 일반적으로 명명하고 있고 이와 같은 증상으로 인한 새우의 대량 폐사는 아시아 전역에서 일어나고 있다(Chou 등, 1995; Inouye 등, 1996). (중략)
