This report was carried out toxicity test for the mosquito coil made of Ginseng leaf and the residue after extraction of Ginseng root. This results are as follows: In the first group, was not shown any special difference on the body weight, the motion and dissection. In the second group, was not shown any Special difference on the body weight, considerable difference on the motion and considerable loss of appetite besides very slight loss, but came cack soon again to normal state by change of air after a moment. In the third group, the body weight and appetite was depressed very slightly and the motion was shown very slightly difference, but came back soon again to normal state by chenge of air after a moment too. No one was died, and all the animal were the normal state on the reslt of dessection, Therefore, we have positive evidence that this mosquito coil powder is applied to animals without any toxicity.

As a carrier of malaria and sneak of blood, mosquitoes are an unpleasant insect. However, there are several unknown natural secretes related with mosquitoes. Among them, we focused on the blood sucking process of a female mosquito. The main objective of this study is to understand the mosquito's blood sucking mechanism that can be used to resolve the problem encountered in the injection or transport of infinitesimal biological fluids in a micro-chip. At first, the velocity fields of blood-sucking flow in a proboscis were measured using a micro-particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. The velocity signals of flow in the proboscis show periodic variation. This seems to be resulted from the beating of the pharyngeal pump which works as driving power. To analyze the pumping mechanism, the temporal variation of the pharyngeal pump was visualized using the synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique. The volume variation was estimated by the help of digital image processing techniques. Once the main mechanism of blood sucking process was found, a effective micro-pumping system with high efficiency would be developed in near future.

Adult mosquito surveillance was conducted from 2013 through 2014 at four cattle sheds, a wild bird refuge, and two residential areas located in Gyeongnam Province in the Republic of Korea. Adult mosquitoes were collected in black light traps from April 1, through November 30. Mosquito surveillance was conducted to figure out population densities of vector mosquitoes, possibly invaded mosquitoes and identify various virus infections at the selected sites. A total of 107,466 females comprising 14 species and 7 genera were collected from 2013 to 2014. The most common species collected were Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles (63.8%), Anopheles sinensis s.l. (18.9%), Aedes vexans nipponii (Theobald) (7.7%), and Culex pipiens Coquillett (5.1%). Trap indices (TIs) varied widely for species over their range, due to geographical distribution and degree of association with rural and urban communities. The most collected An. sinensiss.l. and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus appeared at a cow shed in Hapcheon (TI 347.5) and a pigsty in Daejeo-1-dong, Busan (TI 1,040.8), respectively, due in part to their situation near breeding sites such as rice paddies. The bi-weekly population densities for mosquito species were variable for each of the years, apparently as a result of variable annual weather conditions. None of the mosquito species collected tested for the flavivirus including Japanese Encephalitis Virus, West Nile Virus, Dengue Virus, and Zika Virus infections by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay were positive.

This study was performed to investigate the distribution of mosquito vectors related to the zoonotic disease in Daejeon. Samples were taken using a blacklight trap once a month from March to November 2021 at the slaughterhouse in Daejeon. A total of 820 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 5 genera and 8 species. Among the collected mosquitoes, 319 (38.9%) and 295 (35.93%) were Aedes vexans nipponii and Culex pipiens pallens, respectively, making them the dominant species. The overall number of mosquitoes collected started to increase from May and reached the largest value of 329 (40.12%) in June. Trapped mosquitoes are created 72 pools by environmental condition and by species. The pools were tested by PCR methods for 7 zoonotic pathogens. Flavivirus-positive products were confirmed by DNA sequencing. Japanese encephalitis viruses were detected in 3 pools collected from cow lairage (Culex pipiens pallens) in May, cow by-product processing room (Aedes vexans nipponii) in June and cow lairage (Mansonia uniformis) in June. Culex flavivirus were detected in 4 pools. Based on the results of this study, it is considered that continous surveillence of mosquitoes in livestock assembly facilities (slaughterhouse) should be performed for controlling mosquito populations and mediating disease spread by mosquitoes.

As no reference to the seasonal variations in the mosquito population of the country has been noted in the past literature and as such a survey is apparantlyprequite to insecticidal orerations, an observat on of the subject may be ofvalue. The investigation was made te different geographical locations during theperiod from March 1952 to Jul 1956 In order to obtain as accurte an averagepicture as pasaible of the country, the locations Covered geograpically such scat-tered lropertions as could represent a balance 1croverage : S_oui, kangoongNational Forestry, Incheon, Gunaa , Uejiongbu, Chungcheon, Wonju, Taegukangnoong of the eastcoast,pohang Pusan, Masan and two islands of Chejudo andPaeckyongdo.

A systematic mosquito taxonomic study in Korea was established by Lee in 1971. Since then, many species have been recorded as new to Korea. However, much of this taxonomic information has been distributed in a number of scientific publications. This fork attempts to combine this information into a single document, as well as to synthesize revised taxonomic synonyms of species cccurring in Korea. Four species, Culex vora.x, Culex kangi, Aedes kobayashii and Culiseta kanayamensis listed in our previous paper, are synonyms of Culex kalifaxii, Cutex jackseni, Aedes alehtorowi and Culiseta bergrothi, respectively. Culex annulus is a misidentified species of Culex pseudovishnui. The subspecies Cutes pipiens quinquefassiatus and subgenus Manscnia (Ccquillettidia) were treated as full species and genus respectively in a catalog of the mosquitoes of the world. However, not all current authors agree to those specific and generic treatment. Based on available publications the total number of mosquito species recorded in Korea is now 52 representing 9 genera. Forty-five of these 52 are confirmed species with preserved specimen representation. As collection of specimen continues, there is a possibility that representative of 7 unconfirmed species will be found. 1 hope this paper will provide useful information for entomology workers who are interested in mosquito taxonomy in Korea.

중금속이 곤충에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 빨간집모기(Culex pipiens pallens) 금속용액(Cu, Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn)에서 사육한 후 50% 치사농도($LC_{50}$) 용화시기, 총 지질함량, 지질조성, 총 단백질 함량변화를 측정하였다. 50% 치사농도($LC_{50}$)는 3령 유충으로 24시간 처리한 Hg 처리군에서 $0.45mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 나타나 다른 금속에 비해 독성이 강한 것으로 나타났고, 용화 시기는 처리군이 대조군(129시간)에 비해 지연되었으며 Cd가 처리군 중 273시간으로 가장 늦게 용화되었다. 중금속에 노출된 모기시료에서 총 여섯 종류의 지질 band가 분리되었으며, 이 중 5종의 지질이 동정되었다(phospholipid, cholesterol, fatty acid, triglyceride, cholesterol ester). 모든 처리군의 총 지질함량은 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. 또한, 대조군의 단백질 함량($0.51mg\;ind.^{-1}$)이 처리군의 단백질 함량에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 처리군 중 Hg과 Cd을 처리한 유충의 단백질 함량이 매우 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 중금속이 처리된 용액에서 사육된 모기유충은 오염된 환경에 의한 먹이 섭취의 장애 및 중금속의 독성으로 인해 단백질 함량과 지질의 감소가 일어나 발육이 느려지고 용화시기가 길어지는 것으로 생각되며 이는 중금속에 의한 체내 물질대사의 변화를 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 중금속 오염이 모기의 생존과 성장을 억제시켜 모기 개체군 크기에 영향을 줄 것을 나타내며, 추후 연구를 통해 모기의 생육정도를 이용한 오염도 측정에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
