In order to obtain more specific antigenic preparation for the diagnosis of human paragonlmiasis, crude saline extract of whole worm (=PwWWE), secretory.excretory components (PwSEC) and secretion-excretion-free somatic extract (PwSM) of 12 week-old ParagoninBus westermani were filtrated through Sephadex G-200 gel column. The adult Paragonimus worms were obtained from expevimentally infected doge. A total of 11 antigenic solutions was Iyophilised or diluted to adjust protein content of 1mg/ml. To evaluate the antigenicity of crude antigens and fractions, micro-ELISA was done with the sera from P westermani in(ected cases, C. sinensis infected cases and non-infected control cases to detect Paragonimus specific IgG antibody. The results were as follows: 1. When the PwWWE was filtrated through Sephadex G-200 gel, it was separated into three fractions; PwWWE Fr. 1, PwWWE Fr. 2 and PwWWE Fr. 3. The percentage of protein content was 28.0%, 21.6% and 50.4% respectively. The PwSM was also. separated into three fractions; PwSM Fr. 1, PwSM Fr. 2, PwSM Fr. 3. and their percentage of protein content was 41.3%, 38.6% and 20.1%. However, the PwSEC showed different fractionation pattern; i.e. fraction 1 (=PwSEC Fr.1) and 3 (PwSEC Fr. 3) without fraction 2. The percentage of protein content was 14.0% in PwSEC Fr. 1 and 86.0% in PwSEC Fr. 3. 2. When the antigenicity of each Paragonimus crude antigen and fractionated antigen was evaluated for specific IgG aritibody by micro-ELISA in 10 human paragonimiasis sera, PwSEC Fr, 1 was the most potent antigen showing the mean absorbance 1.98. The PwWWE Fr. 1, PwSEC, PwWWE were next to that: their mean absorbance were 1.72, 1.38 and 0.83 respectively. The antigenicity of fractions 2 and 3 was much weaker in binding specific IgG antibody. 3. When the antigens were reacted in micro-ELISA with 10 human clonorchiasis sera, most antigens showed weak reactivity. Each fraction 1 of crude antigens reacted higher than other fractions or crude antigens; the mean absorbance was 0.17 in fraction 1, but in others the absorbances were about 0.06. 4. With non-infected control sera, the result of micro-RLISA revealed almost same pattern with those of the clonorchiasis sera. From the above results, it became apparent that PwWWE Fr. 1, especially PwSEC Fr. 1 was the most potent antigen reacted with Paragonisfaus specific IgG antibody.

Five cases infected with Rhabditis sp. were detected in a survey to examine the stool specimens from rural primary school children. A large number of the larvae of Rhabditis sp. detected by the direct cellophane thick smear were cultured by the alter paper method. The eBamination was carried out in April through June, 1980 in Tangjeong-Myon, Ahsan.Gun, and in September 1983 in Sandong-Eup, Yeongwol-Gun. The results obtained in this study were as follows: 1. Prevalence: Out of 925 children, 5(0.54%) children were found to be positive. The number of the detected larvae was 110/0.1gm of feces in case 1, 35 in case 2, 130 in case 3, 86 in case 4 and 62 in case 5. 2. Larvae: The larvae were prepared by means of the direct fecal smear and measured by a micrometer equipped in the microscope. Twelve (12) through 15-day old larvae in culture were $197.1{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$ long in average, and the maximum size of the matured stage larvae was $884.0{\times}25.9{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$. However, the length variation was ranged as 173.0 to $884.0{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$. 3. Adults: The size of clubbed adult female was $1, 357{\mu}{\textrm{m}}(1, 176~1, 419)$ in length and $80{\mu}{\textrm{m}}(79~82)$ in width. Length of buccal cavity was $33{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$. A long cylindrical esophagus($273{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$) of the worms with a valved posterior cardiac bulb and with median bulbar swelling was morphologically indicated. Ditance from mouth to vulva was occupied 58% of body length. Male worm was $1, 006{\mu}{\textrm{m}}(890~1, 148)$ in length and $49{\mu}{\textrm{m}}(48~49)$ wide. Caudal alee of bursa and spicules ($75{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$ in length) were well developed. 4. Eggs: The oval shaped eggs in the female uterus, when cultured, were $66{\times}56{\mu}{\textrm{m}}$ in sixte, and the eggs laid by the adult could not be detected. So, reproduction might be thought to be ovoviviparity. 5. The five cases were re-examined during the period from the 1st to the 3rd week after stool examinations, but Rhabditis sp. were detected again in 4 cases in 1st week. When they were examined in 3rd week, larvae could not be detected. So, it was thought that the infection of Rhabditis sp. to humans was facultative.

Chromosomes of gonadal tissues from Fasciola spp, Eurytrema pancreaticum and Calicophoron calicophorum occurred Korean cattle were egamined using modified air-drying method. To compare their phenotype with three different genotypes among Fasciola spp, the adult and egg si2e were measured since they have been known as important taxonomical characters. The results obtained were as followed; Cattle liver fluke, Fasciola spp were classified into three types based on their chromosomal complements such as individual with 2o chromosome(diploid), 30 chromosome(triploid) and 20/30 mosaic constitution(mixoploid). The propotions of appearance of three types were 40.00%, 54.29% and 5.71%, respectively. The frequency of three types in type I which was regarded as F gigantica were 58.82% for diploid, 35.29% for triploid and 5.88% for mixoploid, but in type II which was regarded as F hepatica were 72.2% for triploid, 22.22% for diploid and 5.56% for mixoploid. Egg length of triploid forms was significantly larger than that of diploid forms and egg size of mixoploid forms was similiar to that of triploid forms. Worm size of triploid forms was larger than that of diploid forms and was more similar to that of mixoploid forms, but the statistical data were not significant. Diploid chromosome consisted of one pair of metacentric chromosome(m), four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes(sm), five pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes(st), while triploid chromosome consisted of one pair of metacentric chromosome, seven pairs of submetacen.tric chromosomes, one pair of subtelocentric chromosome and telocentric chromosome(t), respectively. In mixoploid chromosome, constitution of the chromosomes of diploid or triploid cell was consistent with that of diploid or triploid. Chromosomes of gonadal tissues from pancreatic fluke, Eurytrema pancreaticum consisted of 13 pairs of homologs(2n=26, n=13). The mitotic and meiotic divisions were observed frequently. In the mitotic metaphase, Karyotype consisted of five pairs of metacentric chromosomes, four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, three pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes and one pair of telocentric chromosome. Chromosomes of gonadal tissues from stomach fluke, Calicvphoron calicophorum consisted of 9 pairs of homologs(2n=18, n=9). The meiotic divisions was frequently observed, but mitotic divisions was rare. In the mitotic metaphase, Karyotype consisted of two pairs of metacentric chromosomes, three pairs of submetacentric chromosomes and four pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. Karyotype of Calicophoron calicophorum differed from that of Japanese C calicophorum which was similar to that of Paramphistomum cervi of Korean cattle. Though that of Calicophoron calicophorum of Korean cattle was similar to that of Paramphistomum explanatum of Korean cattle, that have been recognized to be a different species of fluke.

Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) infestation in present day Korea has become one of nationwide problems. But, the incidence of pinworm infestation having been reported by many workers was almostly the data for specific groups. The incidence of pinworm infestation for 208 families of 760(male; 30, female;420) middle class inhabitant of Seoul, 238 subrural inhabitants in Gyeonggi Province and 150(male;77, female;73) rural primary students in three different districts were examined by modified Gralam's scotch-tape swab method. The results are summarized as follows; 1. The incidence of nationwide infestation a. The nationwide incidence of pinworm infestation of the 1,148 specimens examined was 28.7% (male; 27.5%, female; 29.6%). b. The highest incidence was found among 5-14 years of age. c. In comparison of the incidence by the area, the highest incidence was found among subrural area, next among rural area and the lowest among urban area. 2, Urban area a. The incidence of the 760 inhabitants examined was 23.2% (male; 24.1%, female; 22. 3%). b. The incidence of the parents group was 12.2% and children group was 30. 30.3%. c. In the parents who hold one or more pinworm poitive cases among children, the incidence of father group was 13.2% and mother group was 29.7%.3. Subrural area a. The incidence of the 238 inhabitants examined was 42.9% (male, 40.8%, female; 44.4%). b. The cumulative positive rate of anal swabs showed increasing tendency. c. Worm collection rates after chemotherapy of 98 inhabitants were 54, 0%. d. In scotch tape anal swab only one times, diagnostic value was 74.0%. e. Mother group infested with pinworm seemed to play an important role for the high incidence in individual family. f. In comparison of the incidence by the examination method, the highest incidence was found among scotch tape method. 4. Rural area The incidence of the 150 primary students examined was 34. 5% (male ; 24. 7%, female; 43.8%).

Chlorophenol 유도체들이 농약으로 많이 사용되고 있으므로 저자들은 Trichlorophenol과 Dibromoethane으로 Bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane 과 Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy) ethane을 합성하고 mice에 대한 독성 및 Bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane의 귤응애, 누에 및 무우잎별레에 대한 살충작용을 Phenkapton, Tedion V-18. BHC 및 DBT 등과 비교관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) Bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenory) ethane의 yield 는 8.0g $(50.06\%)\;(m.p. 157-159^{\circ}C)$이며 Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy) ethane 의 yield는 5.2g $(32.60\%)\;(m.p. 162-163^{\circ}C}$였다. (2) Bis(2,4,6-trichlophenoxy) ethane의 귤응애(Citrusred mite)에 대한 살충작용은 Tedion V-18 보다 강하고 Phenkapton에 비해서는 약하다. (3) 누에 (Bombix mori)에 대한 살충작용은 BHC 및 DDT보다 약하다. (4) 무잎별레(Daikon leaf beetle)에 대해서는 살충력이 없였다. (5) 2,4,5-BTPE 및 2,4,6-BTPE는 체중 k9당 5g씩 mice에 경구투여한 바 72시간동안 한 마리도 죽지 않아 독성은 적은 것으로 본다.

The present study was performed with morphological and molecular analysis (cox1 and nad1 mitochondrial genes) to identify the proglottids of spirometrid tapeworm found in the stool of an African lion, Panthera leo, in the Serengeti plain of Tanzania. A strand of tapeworm strobila, about 75 cm in length, was obtained in the stool of a male African lion in the Serengeti National Park ($34^{\circ}$ 50' E, $02^{\circ}$ 30' S), Tanzania, in February 2012. The morphological features of the adult worm examined exhibited 3 uterine coils with a bow tie appearance and adopted a diagonal direction in the second turn. The posterior uterine coils are larger than terminal uterine ball and the feature of uteri are swirling rather than spirally coiling. The sequence difference between the Spirometra species (Tanzania origin) and S. erinaceieuropaei (GenBank no. KJ599680) was 9.4% while those of S. decipiens (GenBank no. KJ599679) differed by 2.1% in the cox1 and nad1 genes. Phylogenetic tree topologies generated using the 2 analytic methods were identical and presented high level of confidence values for the 3 major branches of the 3 Spirometra species in the cox1 gene. The morphological and molecular findings obtained in this study were nearly coincided with those of S. ranarum. Therefore, we can know for the first time that the African lion, Panthera leo, is to the definitive host of this tapeworm.

1975년의 벼멸구 대발생에 의한 극심한 피해에 감하여 그 발생을 예찰할 수 있다면 정부의 이에 대한 방제대책 및 살충제의 약종$\cdot$제제형태를 결정해야 할 농약수급계획 수립에 도움이 될 것이다. 현재 예찰방법은 전국 47개소의 예찰소에서 채집된 벼멸구를 유일한 자료로 삼고 있다. 벼멸구 발생의 신빙할만한 기록은 수원에 권업모범장이 설립된 1905년부터 볼 수 있고 그 이전의 해충기록은 삼국사기, 고려사, 문헌비고 등에 "황", "황충", "비황", "충" 등으로 기록되어 있지만 그 정체를 알 수 없었다. 이들 해충에 대해 일본인 학자를 사이에 상반되는 견해가 발표되었는데 Muramatsu, S.(촌송 무)는 고문헌에 나타난 "황"은 풀무치(비황, Locusta migratoria)라고 주장하였고 Okamoto, H.(강본반차랑)는 멸구류라고 단정하였다. 그러나 그들의 주장은 주로 문헌비고에 근거를 둔 것 같다. 설사 삼국사기, 고려사 등을 참고했다 하더라도 이들 문헌은 문헌비고나 다름없이 해충에 대한 기술이 극히 간략하다. 예를 들면 "7월 황", "추구월황해곡", "오월유항충"등으로 기재되어 있다. 따라서 이것만으로 해당해충의 정확한 이름을 알아내기는 어려운 일이다. 필자는 1967년에 벼멸구의 대발생이 태양흑점 활동최소기와 상관이 있다고 발표한 바 있다. 그러나 양자간의 상관관계를 논하기에는 자료의 량이 충분치 못한 감도 있어 이를 보충하기 위해 벼멸구의 발생기록을 조선왕조실록에서 찾기로 하고 아울러 삼국사기, 고려사, 문헌비고 등에 나타난 해충기록들을 분석해 보았다. 고기록의 해충명을 정확하게 파악하는 일이 선결문제가 되기 때문이다. 분석의 결과 밝혀진 해충은 1. 솔나방(Dendrolimus spectabils) 2. 멸강나방(Mythimna separata) 3. 벼멸구(Nilapavata lugens) 4. 흰등멸구(Sogatella furcifera) 5. 풀무치(Locusta migratoria) 6. 이화명나방(Chilo suppressalis) 7. 땅강아지(Cryllotalpa africana) 8. 벼뿌리바구미(Echinocnemus squameus) 9. 거세미나방(뗘탬 segetum) 10. 뽕나무명나방(Margaronia pyloalis)의 10종이었고, 종명 미군종이 19건이었다. 그런데 문제의 벼멸구가 조선와조실록중에 기록된건수는 놀랍게도 겨우 5건에 불과하며 그 발생년도 또한 서기 1458년, 1468년, 1489년, 1536년, 1587년로서 태양흑점의 관측이 근대적 방법으로 이루어지기 시작한 1719년대 이전의 사실이었다. 따라서 양자간의 상관관계를 밝히는데 도움이 되지는 못하였다. 그러나 본 연구기간 중 필자의 주장을 뒷받침 해 주는 중요한 새로운 정보를 입수할 수 있었다. 즉 1946년에 흰둥멸구의 대발생으로 충남, 전남지방에 피해가 심했으며 그중 피해액이 밝혀진 곳은 라주군에서 16만석, 서산군에서 19만석이었다. (당시 농사시험장 곤충담당관 이봉우씨 담, 현재선 교수 전) 1910년 이후의 우리나라에서의 벼멸구 생기록을 보면 항상 흰등멸구와 함께 발생하고 있으며 최근의 예찰등성적을 보아도 함께 나타나 있고, 해에 따라 1975년도와 같이 벼멸구가 대발생하는 수도 있고 1977년도와 같이 흰등멸구가 대발생하는 경우가 있다. 벼멸구와 흰등멸구는 모두 우리나라 재래의 해충이 아니며 해마다 중국본사에서 비래하는 곤충이다. 한편 태양흑점이 실측되기 시작한 1710년대부터 현재까지는 그 활동이 11.2년의 주기성을 보여주지만 그 이전에 있어서는 그 활동이 극히 약화되었을 뿐만 아니라 매우 불규칙하다는 것이 Schneider와 Mass(1975)에 의해 밝혀졌다. 결국 1710년대부터 현재까지 우리나라에 있어서 벼멸구와 흰등멸구의 대발생 연도는 1910년, 1921-23년, 1946, 1967-8년, 1975-7년의 5회가 되며 이들 대발생 연도는 모두 태양흑점 활동최소기와 일치되어 필자의 주장의 신빙성이 더해졌다. 따라서 앞으로 태양흑점의 활동이 현재와 같은 주기로 계속되는 동안은 그 활동최소기에 임해서는 벼멸구와 흰등멸구에 대해 특별한 경계가 필요하며 만전의 방제체제를 갖추어야 할 것이다.
