Hitchhiker insect species from international vessels entering Korea in 2022 were monitored. A total of 947 samples of hitchhiker insects were collected using a simple collection method by hand. Among them, 856 individuals were classified as 374 species of 86 families in 10 orders through integrative analysis with DNA barcoding and morphological examination. The rest 91 individuals were identified only to the family level. As a result of examining the distribution of the 374 species (856 individuals), 38 species (71 individuals) were confirmed as not-distributed species in Korea, including six species (11 individuals) as 'regulated species' listed by the Korean Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency. Of 38 not-distributed species, 10 species were detected multiple times (at least twice). Accordingly, it is necessary to strengthen monitoring of the area around the port of entry along with continuous surveillance to prevent invasion of species detected multiple times. For monitoring alien hitchhiker insect species, this study provided detection information and biological data for alien species.

The baculovirus/insect cell expression system is of great value for the large-scale production of normal and mutant mammalian passive glucose-transport proteins heterologously for structural and functional studies. In most mammalian cells that express HepG2, this transporter isoform is predominantly located at the cell surface. However, it had been reported that heterologous expression of other membrane proteins using the baculovirus system induced highly vacuolated cytoplasmic membranes. Therefore, how a cell responds to the synthesis of large amounts of a glycoprotein could be an interesting area for investigation. In order to examine the subcellular location of the human HepG2 transport proteins when expressed in insect cells, immunofluorescence studies were carried out. Insect cells were infected with the recombinant baculovirus AcNPVHIS-GT or with wild-type virus at a MOI of 5, or were not exposed to viral infection. A high level of fluorescence displayed in cells infected with the recombinant virus indicated that transporters are expressed abundantly and present on the surface of infected Sf21 cells. The evidence for the specificity of the immunostaining was strengthened by the negative results shown in the negative controls. Distribution of the transporter protein expressed in insect cells was further revealed by making a series of optical sections through an AcNPVHIS-GT-infected cell using a confocal microscope, which permits optical sectioning of cell sample. These sections displayed intense cytoplasmic immunofluorecence surrounding the region occupied by the enlarged nucleus, indicating that the expressed protein was present not only at the cell surface but also throughout the cytoplasmic membranous structures.

The effect of silkworm hemolymph on the inhibition of baculovirus-induced insect cell apoptosis was quantitatively investigated using a flow cytometric analysis. Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cell and Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrous virus (AcNPV) were used as a model for insect cell and baculovirus in this study, respectively. Compared with a mammalian cell cycle, the fraction of G1 cells was relatively small in the Sf9 cell cycle. Silkworm hemolymph did not affect the Sf9 cell-cycle distribution before the baculovirus infection. However, the fraction of cells which are not in the sub-G1 phase remained at a high level for 3 days after the infection in the medium without silkworm hemolymph, while it remained at a high level for 7 days after the infection in the medium supplemented with silkworm hemolymph. The fractions of apoptotic cells in the sub-G1 phase were $4.7\%$, and 4 days after infection, $22.7\%$, in the media with and without silkworm hemolymph, respectively.

기후변화는 곤충의 밀도와 분포, 몸의 형태와 개체의 크기 등 생물학적인 형질 변화, 생식 및 유전적 특성, 그리고 멸종 등에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되고 있다. 기후변화의 영향을 예측하여 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 분산되어 있는 곤충 종별 기본적인 생물학적/생태학적 정보들을 종합하여 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 기후 및 환경의 변화에 대한 곤충, 특히 해충의 발생 변화 예측에 필요한 생물학적 정보를 정리하여 이를 활용한 미래 피해 예측을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 또한 국내외 문헌을 비교 분석하여 국내에서 기후변화 연구를 수행하는데 있어 제한 요인들을 확인하고 향후 필요한 연구소요를 제시하고자 하였다. 국내의 연구들은 단기 모니터링 자료를 이용하여 환경 요인과의 관계를 분석하는 수준에 그치고 있는 반면, 국외 연구들은 장기 모니터링 자료를 이용한 분포 변화 분석이나 기 개발된 생물 종의 파라미터를 이용한 발생 및 분포 변화 예측 그리고 곤충 군집의 구성 변화를 모니터링하는 등 다양한 내용을 주제로 기후변화의 영향을 연구하고 있었다. 결론적으로 기후변화에 대응하기 위해서는 체계적인 모니터링 기술 개발을 통해 곤충의 계절발생, 분포, 월동 특성 및 유전적 구조 변화에 대한 연구가 필수적이며, 주요 해충 및 잠재적인 해충에 대한 기후변화의 영향을 예측하기 위해 곤충 개체군 모델의 개발 역시 중요한 부분이 될 것이다.

Larvae of Bradysia agrestis, an insect vector that transports plant pathogens, were sampled from geographically isolated regions in Korea to identify their cutaneous fungal and bacterial flora. Sampled areas were chosen within the distribution range of B. agrestis; each site was more than 91 km apart to ensure geographical segregation. We isolated 76 microbial (fungi and bacteria) strains (site 1, 29; site 2, 29; site 3, 18 strains) that were identified on the basis of morphological differences. Species identification was molecularly confirmed by determination of universal fungal internal transcribed spacer and bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences in comparison to sequences in the EzTaxon database and the NCBI GenBank database, and their phylogenetic relationships were determined. The fungal isolates belonged to 2 phyla, 5 classes, and 7 genera; bacterial species belonged to 23 genera and 32 species. Microbial diversity differed significantly among the geographical groups with respect to Margalef's richness (3.9, 3.6, and 4.5), Menhinick's index (2.65, 2.46, and 3.30), Simpson's index (0.06, 0.12, and 0.01), and Shannon's index (2.50, 2.17, and 2.58). Although the microbial genera distribution or diversity values clearly varied among geographical groups, common genera were identified in all groups, including the fungal genus Cladosporium, and the bacterial genera Bacillus and Rhodococcus. According to classic principles of co-evolutionary relationship, these genera might have a closer association with their host insect vector B. agrestis than other genera identified. Some cutaneous bacterial genera (e.g., Pseudomonas) displaying weak interdependency with insect vectors may be hazardous to agricultural environments via mechanical transmission via B. agrestis. This study provides comprehensive information regarding the cutaneous microflora of B. agrestis, which can help in the control of such pests for crop management.
