개진드기 (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Latreille 1806)는 세계적(世界的)으로 가장 넓은 분포(分布)를 보이는 종류(種類)로서 알려지고 있으나 지금까지 국내(國內)에서는 고 조사(調査)가 실시(實施)된 바 없다. 1981년(年) 부터 1984년年에 걸쳐 우리나라 가축(家畜) 진드기의 생능조사(生能調査) 및 방제대책(防除對策)에 연관(關聯)된 몇가지 시험(試驗) 연구사업(硏究事業)을 수행(遂行)하는 동안 경기(京畿), 충남(忠南), 전북(全北) 및 제주지역(濟州地域)의 목장(牧場)에서 사육(飼育)하고 있는 개와 부근의 초지(草地)로부터 미포혈(未飽血) 또는 부분(部分) 포혈(飽血)된 진드기 재료(材料)를 수집(採集)하여 조사(調査), 분류(分類), 정의(同定) 해 본 결과(結果), P. sanguineus로 확인(確認) 되었다. R. sanguineus의 국내(國內) 조사(調査)와 그 기록(記錄)과 더불어 수컷재료(材料)에 대(對)한 주사전자현미경(走査電子顯微鏡) (SEM) 영상촬영(映像撮影) 사진(寫眞)과 함께 형태학적특징(形態學的特徵)을 관찰(觀察)하여 보고(報告)한다. R. sanguineus의 국내(國內) 서식(棲息)이 확정(確定)됨에따라 총(總)8속(屬)(Argas, Amblyomma, Boophilus, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, Hyalomma, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus)의 진드기가 분포(分布)함이 밝혀졌다.

This study aimed to characterize the seasonal abundance of hard ticks that transmit severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus from April to November 2019 and 2020 on Ganghwa-do, Incheon Metropolitan City, Korea. The ticks were collected at grassland, grave site, copse and mountain road using a collection trap method. The ixodid hard ticks comprising three species (Haemaphysalis longicornis, H. flava, and Ixodes nipponensis) collected were 6,622 in 2019 and 3,811 in 2020. H. longicornis was the most frequent (97.9% in 2019 and 96.0% in 2020), followed by H. flava (2.0% and 3.0% in 2019 and 2020, respectively) and I. nipponensis (less than 0.1%). Our study demonstrated that seasonal patterns of the tick populations examined for two years were totally unsimilar. The hard ticks tested using RT-qPCR were all negative for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus.

The seasonal abundance of hard ticks that transmit severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus was monitored with a collection trap method every April to November during 2015-2018 and with a flagging method every July and August during 2015-2018 in Ganghwa-do (island) of Incheon Metropolitan City, Republic of Korea. This monitoring was performed in a copse, a short grass field, coniferous forest and broad-leaved forest. A total of 17,457 ticks (8,277 larvae, 4,137 nymphs, 3,389 females, and 1,654 males) of the ixodid ticks comprising 3 species (Haemaphysalis longicornis, H. flava, and Ixodes nipponensis) were collected with collection traps. Of the identified ticks, H. longicornis was the most frequently collected ticks (except larval ticks) (94.26%, 8,653/9,180 ticks (nymphs and adults)), followed by H. flava (5.71%, 524/9,180) and Ix. nipponensis (less than 0.04%, 3/9,180). The ticks collected with collecting traps were pooled and assayed for the presence of SFTS virus with negative results. In addition, for monitoring the prevalence of hard ticks, a total of 7,461 ticks (5,529 larvae, 1,272 nymphs, 469 females, and 191 males) of the ixodid ticks comprising 3 species (H. longicornis, H. flava, and Ix. nipponensis) were collected with flagging method. H. longicornis was the highest collected ticks (except larval ticks) (99.53%, 1,908/1,917 ticks (nymphs and adults)), followed by H. flava (1.15%, 22/1,917).

This study investigated the development characteristics of Dermacentor everestianus under laboratory conditions. The time taken for D. everestianus to complete the whole life cycle was 110.2 days on average, and the average developmental durations of larvae and nymphs were 17.1 days and 29.5 days, respectively. The summation of the prefeeding, feeding, and preoviposition periods of females was 17.8 days, and the oviposition and egg incubation lasted for 18.1 days and 27.7 days, respectively. A highly positive correlation was observed between the weight of engorged female and the number of egg mass laid (r=0.947). The reproductive efficiency index and the reproductive fitness index were 7.1 and 6.1, respectively.
