Echinostoma cineterchis(Trematoda: Echinostomatidae)의 인체감염 1예를 praziquantel 투여후 수집된 성충으로 확인하고 국내 계 4례로 기록하였다. 환자에서 이 흡충 감염과 관련된 특별한 증상은 없었고 송사리, 올챙이, 미판리 등을 생식한 경력이 있어 이들이 감염원이 되었을 것으로 추측되었다.

The morphological features of pollen grains collected from the broad-leaved and cylindrical-leaved Portulaca species of the Hawaiian Islands were investigated. The variation in size and surface pattern were examined using scanning electron microscopy and statistical analysis. Pollens of the Portulaca were apolar grains of monads exhibiting apertures, colpi, and relatively thin echini. Of particular interest was the differing size of pollen grains among the species studied. Pollens of the broad-leaved Portulaca were considerable in size with a length of about $73{\sim}86{\mu}m$, while the cylindrical-leaved Portulaca tended to have smaller pollen grains ranging from 50~65 in diameter. The smallest pollens were found in cultivar 2 having an average of $43{\mu}m$. The pollen was intectate, and the exine surface appeared granulous, having sculptured elements of spinules and puncta. Two types of puncta were discerned; one forming an operculum, and the other, a simple perforation. Numerous spinules and small puncta were found throughout the cylindrical-leaved Portulaca. In the present study, morphological features of pollen grains from ten Hawaiian Portulaca species, including endemic and unknown taxa, revealed the aforementioned pattern of variation. This paper aim to provide morphological information that could be of phylogenetic value within the Hawaiian Portulaca.

On September in 1998, a microsporidian infection was recognized in ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis, farmed on Kyongnam province of South Korea. Cumulative mortality was around 10% in 10 days. Infected fish which were piping for air near the surface of the water or in the asphyxic, lethargic condition revealed darkening of body and abdominal distention. Numerous whitish nodules up to 3mm in size were observed throughout most of body organs and tissues including gill, operculum, peritoneal wall and organs. Xenomas were also histologically confirmed in multiple internal organs with the evidences suggesting circulatory disturbance. Based on the morphology of spore and xenoma, and the distribution of xenomas in organs and tissues, this disease was diagnosed to be a microsporidiosis caused by Glugea plecoglossi. The mortality might be deeply related to the local circulatory disturbance by xemonas rather than the mechano-chemical effect of xenomas on adjacent tissues.

전장 20cm 전후 크기의 양식중인 넙치 체표면에 Caligus curtus가 최고 63마리나 기생되었다. 기생 부위는 머리부분이 63.4%, 꼬리부분 26.9%, 아가미 뚜껑 8.3%, 기타 부위 1.4% 이었다. 기생된 부위는 미세한 출혈과 함께 점액이 다량 분비되었다. 이 Caligus충은 Masoten 5ppm에서 15분, 10ppm에서는 5분만에 탈락 폐사되었으나, 4시간 동안 담수욕 처리에서는 28.57%밖에 탈락되지 않았으며, 200ppm의 포르말린 30분 약욕으로는 전혀 구제되지 않았다.

For the first time, a single specimen (68.47 mm in total length) of Lumpenopsis pavlenkoi Soldatov, 1916 belonging to the family Stichaeidae was collected from the northernmost area of the eastern coast of Korea (Gosung, Gangwon Province) in April, 2020, using square net (1.0 m width, 0.3 m height, 2.0 mm mesh size). This species is characterized by elongated and compressed body, absence of lateral line and cirri on head, presence of scales on cheek, dorsal fin with only 50 spines, anal fin with 2 spines and 30 soft rays, and separated operculum and isthmus. The body is yellowish with 7 saddles. The new Korean name "Kko-ma-be-do-ra-chi-sog" is proposed for the genus Lumpenopsis, and "Deung-jeom-kko-ma-be-do-ra-chi" is proposed for the species L. pavlenkoi.

The effect of bio-logger tagging location on blood characteristics and bio-logger attachment efficiency in spotted sea bass (mean body weight 2356.7 g) was investigated. The fish were tagged at four different tagging locations: no-tag (control), operculum attachment (OA), dorsal muscle attachment (DA), and cauda peduncle muscle attachment (CA). The blood properties and bio-logger attachment efficiencies were examined on days 1, 7, 14, and 35 after tagging the bio-logger at each tagging location. During the experimental periods, the concentrations of hematocrit and hemoglobin in whole blood, and GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase), total protein (TP), glucose, total cholesterol, cortisol, and superoxide dismutase in plasma were not affected by the attachment location of the bio-logger, however, the TP concentration was significantly lower in OA than in the control group on day 7. After tagging for 35 days, the efficiencies of bio-logger attachment in the OA, DA, and CA after tagging for 35 days were 33.3%, 100.0%, and 33.3%, respectively. These results indicate that, in our experimental condition, the most appropriate bio-logger attachment location is DA, providing basic information on bio-logger utilization methods for ecological and biological biotelemetry surveys of the spotted sea bass.

딱정장수노벌레 (Canthocamptus)속의 mirabilis 종군에 대한 분류학적 연구의 일환으로. 극동아시아의 남부에 널리 분포하는 반달딱정장수노벌레 (C. semicircuius Kikuchi)와 남한의 중서부 지역의 구릉지대 계류에 분포하는 1신종. 고려딱정장수노벌레 (C. coreensis)를 보고한다 반달딱정장수노벌레의 한국산 표본에서는 암컷의 바깥꼬리털과 수컷의 제3다리 외지의 돌기형 가시와 같은 중요 형질에서 변이가 흔하게 나타났기에 종내변이에 대해 특기하였다. 고려딱정장수노벌레는 암컷에서 수컷모사변이형의 꼬리마디가 나타나지 않고 항문판의 투명막이 둥근모양을 유지한다는 점 등의 조상형 형질을 유지하는 반면. 수컷 제3다리 외지 제2마디의 바깥가시와 수컷 제4다리 외지 끝마디 바깥강모가 심하게 변형되는 등의 파생형질을 소유한다. 현재까지 기록된 5종의 한국산 딱정장수노벌레속 mirabilis 종군에 대한 종검색표를 작성하였다.

1983년 12원부터 1984년 3월까지 서울에서 실시한 대편검사에서, Fibricola seculens심의 충란이 15명에게서 발견되었고, 이들을 Stoll씨 충란계산법으로 검사한 결과 EPG는 0∼500의 범위에 있었다. 이들 모두에게 Praziquantel을 20mg/kg의 용량으로 1회 투여하고, 그 중 9례를 대상으로 엄류하제를 이용하여 충체 수집을 시도하였다. 대상자 중 6례에서 F. seoulensis의 성충을 1∼78마리 수집할 수 있었다. 이들 15례에 대하여 치료 2∼6주후에 추적 검변한 결과 모두가 충란을 배출하지 않음을 확인하였다. 이들 감염자들은 임상적인 증상이 전혀 없었고, 따라서 임상검사는 시행하지 않았다. 이들은 모두가 20대 한국인 남자로, 출현의 일환으로 뱀 또는 개구리를 구워서 또는 날로 1회 이상 먹은 경험이 있었다. 이들이 마지막으로 뱀을 먹은 시기는 각각 1981년 9월에서 1983년 11일 사이에 있었다. 이들의 대변에서 발견된 충란중 100개를 계측한 결과 길이가 0.081∼0.102mm, 폭이 0.051∼0.063mrn이었다. 약절반에서 난잔(operculum)가 확인가능하였고 대부분의 경계선이 충란 장축에 비스듬하게 관찰되었다. 우리나라에서 뱀과 개구리를 먹는 민간의 습관을 고려하면 인체 fibricoliasis가 보다 널리 퍼져 있을 것으로 생각된다. 충란의 감별만으로도 진단이 가능할 것으로 판단되므로 앞으로 많은 증례의 발견이 기대된다.

We investigated a nematode infection in the epithelial tissue of rockfish Sebastes schlegeli cultured in Cheonsu Bay, western Korea, from May 2013 to April 2014. Nematodes infected the epithelial tissues of various external organs, including the fins, operculum, nares, mouth, and head. Over a 1-year period, the overall nematode infection rate in rockfish was 55% (n=89/163): 56.7% (n=17/30) in May 2013, 88% (n=29/33) in August 2013, 0% (n=0/30) in October 2013, 70% (n=21/30) in January 2014, and 55% (n=22/40) in April 2014. During this study, the only mass mortality of cultured rockfish in Cheonsu Bay was in August 2013, when we identified skin wounds on the rockfish caused by the nematodes escaping from their hosts. During this period, the accumulated mortality for 2 weeks was 1.4-22.4% in different farms. In addition, several pathogenic bacteria (Photobacterium damselae, Vibrio spp., and Streptococcus iniae) were isolated from the moribund rockfish; these were thought to be transmitted through the skin wounds caused by the nematodes.

Paragonimiasis is a parasitic disease caused by Paragnonimus species. The primary site of infection is the lung, and extrapulmonary involvement is also reported. When infected with Paragonimus westermani, which is the dominant species in Korea, the central nervous system is frequently involved along with the liver, intestine, peritoneal cavity, retroperitoneum, and abdominal wall. Ectopic paragonimiasis raises diagnostic challenge since it is uncommon and may be confused with malignancy or other inflammatory diseases. Here, we report an ectopic paragonimiasis case initially presented with recurrent abdominal pain. The patient developed abdominal pain 3 times for the previous 3 years and the computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed fluid collection with wall enhancement. Recurrent diverticulitis was initially suspected and part of the ascending colon was resected. However, the specimen showed intact colon wall without evidence of diverticulitis and multiple parasite eggs and granulomas were found instead. The size of about $70{\mu}m$, the presence of an operculum and relatively thick egg shell suggested eggs of Paragonimus species. With appropriate exposure history and a positive antibody test, the definitive diagnosis was made as peritoneal paragonimiasis.
