As the capture fishing industry has declined, the aquaculture industry has become an important source of seafood. With this tendency all fish farming will be performed by large-scale farms where the fish are cultivated in much high density and as a result the incidence of infectious diseases increases. Therefore, vaccination has become an increasingly important part of aquaculture as a cost effective method of controlling various diseases. The early fish vaccines were the formalin inactivated bacteria or virus cultures, which were administered by either immersion or injection. Recombinant DNA biotechnology allowed us to develop orally administrated DNA and recombinant vaccines. In terms of the manufacturing process and cost, Lemna and Spirodela is the most efficient and reliable plant expression system for the production of edible vaccine.

Eucalyptus is a rich source of biologically active compounds. Among these, phloroglucinol compounds such as sideroxylonals, macrocarpals, euglobals, and robustadials are unique to Eucalyptus species. Sideroxylonal A is a very potent attachment-inhibitor. Macrocarpals show very strong antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria. Macrocarpals also show HIV-RTase inhibitory activity. Euglobals are potent inhibitors of Epstein-Barr virus activation and are developed as skin and antitumor agents. They also show granulation inhibitory activity. In this review we aim to remove the existing confusion in literature on macrocarpals and discuss the biological activities and structure-activity relationships of phloroglucinol compounds.

A bioterrorism attack is the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or other agents used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plant. These agents are found in nature, but it is possible that they could be changed to increase their ability to cause disease, make them resistant to current medicines, or to increase their ability to be spread into the environment. Terrorists may use biological agents because these agents can be extremely difficult to detect and do not cause illness for several days. Some bioterrorism agents, like smallpox virus, can spread from person to person, like anthrax, can not. From these agents, we discussed the characteristics of biological agents and national safety regulation on the weapons of mass destruction including bioterrorism.

본 발명의 Puromycin 유도체인 Cystocin 화합물은 유기 합성에 의해 제조된 물질이 아니라 방선균 계열의 신균주인 Streptamyces sp GCA0001로부터 추출된 신규 물질로서, 항박테리아, 항종양 및 항바이러스 활성 등의 생물학적 미생물 활성면에서 종래의 Puromycin 화합물에 비해 현저히 뛰어난 효과를 지니고 있고 Streptomyces sp GCA0001로부터 추출, 분리 및 정제 과정을 통해 제조된 자연의 선택의 과정을 거친 화합물이므로, Puromycin을 대체할 수 있는 획기적인 물질로 볼 수 있다.

본 연구는 CVX 바이러스저항성 삼각주 재배가 토양 미생물에 미치는 영향과 수평적 유전자 이동성을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 생육시기별 토양 세균과 방선균 군집밀도는 형질전환 삼각주 재배 토양의 미생물 군집밀도와 비형질전환 삼각주 군집밀도가 유사하여 토양 미생물에 미치는 영향은 유사할 것으로 추정되었다. 토양 미생물의 우점종은 Proteobacteria, Uncultured archaeon와 Uncultured bacterium으로 나타났으며, 형질전환 삼각주 재배 토양의 우점종과 비율은 거의 일정하게 유지되었다. 근권 토양 DNA의 DGGE 분석을 통해 형질전환 삼각주와 비형질전환 삼각주 토양 미생물 군집의 profile 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 형질전환 삼각주와 비형질전환 삼각주 재배 토양의 화학성은 차이가 없었다. 형질전환 삼각주에 도입된 유전자로 토양 DNA에 대한 PCR 분석결과, 도입 유전자의 잔존성이 길지 않아 수평적 유전자 이동 가능성은 희박할 것으로 추정되었다.

2005년부터 2007년 사이 매분기별로 포항, 울산, 기장, 거제, 완도 지역에서 채집한 양식넙치를 대상으로 기생충, 세균 및 바이러스에 대한 병원체 모니터링 결과를 분석하였다. 총 2,238마리 중 1,528마리(68.3%)에서 병원체가 검출되었다. 연도별 검출률을 비교한 결과, 2005년도에는 60.6%, 2006년도에는 66.7%, 2007년도에는 72.3%의 병원체 검출률을 나타내어 해마다 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 조사시기별 총 병원체 검출률은 2월에 63.5%, 5월에 67.3%, 8월에 75.1%, 11월에 64.2%로 나타났다. 기생충, 세균 및 바이러스의 검출률은 각각 36.7%, 32.8%, 31.4%로 나타났다. 병원체의 단독감염률 및 혼합감염률은 각각 33.6%와 34.6%로 나타났다. 질병별 분포 조사에서 가장 높은 검출률을 나타낸 병원체는 Trichodina sp. (28.2%), viral nervous necrosis virus (24.3%), Vibrio spp. (11.6%), viral hemorrhagic septicaemia virus (10.5%) 순으로 나타났다.

The Debao pony ear marginal tissue fibroblast cell line (NDPEM 2/2) was uccessfully established using either primary explant technique or collagenase technique. The characterizations of the cell line were identified as following: the cells were adherent and of density limitation; population doubling time (PDT) of cells made with the two techniques were 35.9 h and 48 h, respectively; chromosome analysis showed that the frequency of cell chromosome number to be 2n=64 was 91.3%-92.8%. Confirmed by isoenzyme analysis, this cell line had no cross- contamination. Tests for microbial contamination from bacteria, fungi, virus or mycoplasma were negative. This newly established cell line meets all the standard quality controls of ATCC. It will provide a precious genetic resource for the conservation of the Debao pony breed, as well as effective experimental material for genetic studies on Debao ponies.

The contribution of this paper is to provide the methods for the production automation of potato microtuber using the vision process in growth monitoring. The first method deals with computation for the growth density in the primary growth process. The second method addresses cognition process to identify the number and the volume of potato microtuber in secondary growth process. The third is to decide whether potato microtubers are infected by a virus or bacteria in growth process. The computation for the growth density in the primary growth process uses the method of Labeling. The second and third methods use template matching based on color patterns. With the developed method using vision process, this experiment is capable of discriminating weekly growth-rate in primary growth process, 85% cognition rate in secondary process and identifying whether there are infections. Therefore, we conclude that our experimental results are capable of growth monitoring for mass production of potato microtubers.

Canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD), also known as infectious tracheobronchitis or kennel cough occurs in a multiple-dog environment such as a shelter. In this study, we were collected 300 of nasal swab samples from dogs and 145 of environmental samples from a shelter to investigate respiratory pathogens of dogs in the Gwangju metropolitan city animal shelter from February to October, 2019. Bacteria cultures for isolation of Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were performed for detection of eleven canine respiratory pathogens, namely Mycoplasma (M.) cynos, canine distemper virus (CDV), canine influenza virus (CIV), canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV), canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), alpha-coronavirus (CCoV), canine pneumovirus (CnPnV), canine hepacivirus (CHeV), canine adenovirus type 2 (CAdV-2), canine herpesvirus-1 (CHV-1) and canine bocavirus (CBoV). Among 300 nasal swab samples, 148 samples (49.3%) were positive for at least one pathogens. CHV-1 was the most common pathogen, found in 95/300 (31.7%) samples. Subsequently, M. cynos (22.0%), B. bronchiseptica (2.3%), CPIV (2.0%), CBoV (1.7%), CCoV (0.7%) were detected. The detection rates of M. cynos and CHV-1 according to the duration of stay in the shelter were statistically significant. Among environmental samples, M. cynos, CCoV, CBoV and CHV-1 were detected in 45/145 (31.0%). These results indicated the need for disease control and prevention systems in the shelter.
