이 연구는 흰쥐, 개 및 고양이 숙주에 대한 이락촌폐흡충(Paragonimus iloktsuenensis)의 감염력 및 충체 성장 발육을 비교함으로써 개 및 고양이의 숙주 적합성을 알아보고 나아가 이 흡충 의 인체 감염 가능성을 추정해 보고자 실시하였다. 섬진강 하구산 말똥게(Sesarma dehaani)로부터 분리, 수집한 이락촌폐흡충의 피낭유충을 흰쥐, 개 및 고양이에 경구 감염시킨 후 42일을 기준으로 충체를 회수하였으며, 감염 후 42일에 회수한 충체를 유대로 하여 성장 발육을 비교하였다. 감염 후 42일에 흰쥐, 개 및 고양이에서 충체 회수율은 각각 평균 53.4%, 21.9% 및 12.7%이었으나 회수된 충체의 크기가 각각 평균 6.3×3.2mm, 6.3×3.0mm 및 6.2×3.5mm로 차이가 없었고 충체 발육 상에 있어서도 차이가 없었다. 이 연구의 결과는 이탁촌폐흡충의 종숙주로서 개 및 고양이가 충분히 가능함을 나타내었다.

The present study was performed to observe tegumental ultrastructure of Echinoparyphium recurvatum according to developmental stages. Worms (1, 3, 5 and 15-day old) were recovered from chicks experimentally infected with metacercariae from radix auricularia coreana. One-day old worms were elongated and ventrally concave, and covered with peg-like tegumental spines except the adjacent areas of the head crown and excretory pore. Type I sensory papillae were distributed on the lip of the oral sucker, and grouped ciliated papillae were around the oral sucker. Peg-like tegumental spines were densely distributed on the anterior surface of the ventral sucker level. The ventral sucker had an aspinous tegument and no sensory papillae. Tegumental spines on the posterior surface of the ventral sucker level were sparsely distributed and disappeared posteriorly. In 3 and 5-day old worms, the tegument around the oral sucker was aspinose and wrinkled concentrically. The ventral sucker had a wrinkled tegument and many bulbous papillae. Type I sensory papillae were distributed between the bulbous papillae. Tegumental spines were spade-shaped with a terminal tip. A total of 45 collar spines including 4 end group ones on both ventral corners was alternately arranged in 2 rows. The 15-day old worms were very stout and their tegumental spines were tongue-shaped without a terminal tip, From the above results, it is confirmed that the surface ultrastructure of E. recurvatum was generally similar to that of other echinostomatid flukes. However, some features, i.e., morphological change of tegumental spines and appearence of sensory papillae on the ventral sucker according to development, and number, shape and arrangement of collar spines, were characteristic, which may be of taxonomic and bioecological significance.

Adult ascarid worms from the field mice, Apodemus agrarius, were observed with a light and scanning electron microscope, and molecularly analized with 18S rRNA gene. In the scanning electron microscope, 3 prominent labia were present in the anterior end of male and female worms, but the interlabia and gubernaculum were absent. Scanning electron micrographs showed cervical alae as vestigial organs that looked like a slightly uplifted superficial sewing stitch. Total 6 pairs of post-cloacal papillae were observed on the tail of the male worms. The tail of female worms was blunt and conical shape with a spine-like structure, mucron. The eggs were sub-globular, coated with the albuminous layer and 73 by 82 ㎛ in average size. The superficial pits of T. apodemi egg (mean 8.6×6.7 ㎛) are obviously bigger than those of Toxocara spp. The partial sequence of 18S rRNA showed the sequence homology of Toxocara canis (99.6%), Toxocara cati (99.4%), Toxascaris leonina (99.4%), and Toxocara vitulorum (99.2%). Conclusively, it was confirmed that ascarid nematodes, Toxocara apodemi, recovered from striped field mice in Korea are taxonomically conspecific relationship with genus Toxocara and genetic divergence from other Toxocara species.

Family Heterophyidae에 속하는 흡충류 3종의 성충을 고양이에서 검출함으로써 자연감염을 확인하였다. 1983년 4월 8일부터 1985년 4월 9일 사이에 서을 중앙시장에서 구입한 고양이 181마리의 소장 및 내부장기를 부검한 결과 3마리의 고양이에서 Heterophyopsis continua Onji et Nishio, 1916 성충 5마리 (1∼3마리), 7마리의 고양이에서 Pygidiopsis summa Onji et Nishio, 1916 성충 223마리 (1∼200마리), 3마리의 고양이에서 Heterophyes heterophyes nocens Onji et Nishio, 1916 성충 26마리 (7∼11마리)를 각각 얻을 수 있었다. 이들 중 H. heterophyes nocens를 제외한 2종의 이형흡충류 H. continua 및 P. summa는 국내에서 고양이의 자연감염으로 처음 보고되는 것이다.

We evaluated the activity of methanolic extracts of Melaleuca cajuputi flowers against the filarial worm Brugia pahangi and its bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia. Anti-Wolbachia activity was measured in worms and in Aedes albopictus Aa23 cells by PCR, electron microscopy, and other biological assays. In particular, microfilarial release, worm motility, and viability were determined. M. cajuputi flower extracts were found to significantly reduce Wolbachia endosymbionts in Aa23 cells, Wolbachia surface protein, and microfilarial release, as well as the viability and motility of adult worms. Anti-Wolbachia activity was further confirmed by observation of degraded and phagocytized Wolbachia in worms treated with the flower extracts. The data provided in vitro and in vivo evidence that M. cajuputi flower extracts inhibit Wolbachia, an activity that may be exploited as an alternative strategy to treat human lymphatic filariasis.

The infection by Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri $Clapar{\grave{e}}de$, 1862 (Oligochaeta: Tubificinae) in humans is relatively uncommon. The present report is to describe an incidental human infection with oligochaetes in the nasal cavity of a Chinese man, a 25-year-old man residing in Zhangjiakou city, Hebei province, China presenting with nose bleed, severe itching, continuous sneezing, and rhinorrhea. A lot of oligochaete worms were found in the nasal discharge of the patient. The detected worms were identified as Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Annelida: Oligochaeta) based on morphological and molecular characteristics. This incidental L. hoffmeisteri nasal infection is the first case in China and indicates that oligochaete worms can be encountered in humans.

Clinostomum (C.) complanatum is one of the trematode helminthes in birds and causes incidental infection in human. A black-tailed gull (Larus crassirostris) was referred to the Jeju wildlife rescue center. Because of the death of bird after two weeks treatment, necropsy was performed to the bird. Grossly, many living worms adhered to the oral mucosa including pharynx and esophagus were observed. The worms removed were identified as C. complanatum after morphological observation. The linguiform adult worms were $5.19{\pm}0.48mm$ long and $1.80{\pm}0.18mm$ wide. Histopathologically, severe necrosis and surrounding inflammation were observed at the infection sites of adult worm in pharynx and esophagus. This is the first report for C. complanatum infection in wild black-tailed gull in Korea.

Adults of Maritrema obstipum (Digenea: Microphallidae) were found in the intestines of 4 species of migratory birds, including the sanderling (Crocethia alba), Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrines), Mongolian plover (Charadrius mongolus), and red-necked stint (Calidris ruficollis), collected from Yubu Island, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. The worms of were $451{\times}265{\mu}m$ in size, and were easily identifiable as Maritrema species by the presence of the cirrus sac, and the ring-like distribution of the vitellaria. More specifically, the ejaculatory duct curved posteromedially, and the 2 parts of vitelline follicles were found to be distinct at the posterior end. The eggs were brown-colored, and $19.8{\times}12.3{\mu}m$ in size. All these findings implicated M. obstipum as the pertinent species of the worms. Beside these, adult worms of Gynaecotyla squatarolae, Parvatrema duboisi, and Acanthoparyphium sp. were also discovered. This is the first report establishing migratory birds as the natural definitive hosts for M. obstipum.

최근 정보기술의 발달로 통신, 방송, 인터넷 등의 모든 서비스들이 하나의 네트워크로 통합되는 광대역 통합망이 등장하게 되었다. 그러나 이에 대한 역기능으로 다양한 위협이 등장하고 있으며, 그 중 인터넷 웜과 같은 악성 코드는 국가 기간망을 뒤흔드는 혼란을 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문은 고성능 네트워크 환경에서 웜 확산에 대한 정확한 예측을 그 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 인터넷 쉽게 적용 가능한 확산 모델을 살펴보고, 여러 인터넷 웜을 적용하여 인터넷 환경에서 동작 방식을 분석한다. 제안 모델은 웜 확산 단계와 대응 단계에 따른 영향을 분석하여 인터넷 웜의 확산 규모와 속도를 보다 정확하게 예측할 수 있다. 본 논문의 결과는 광대역 통합 네트워크와 같은 고성능 네트워크에도 적용할 수 있다.
