  • Eight hundred and seventy on goats from Naikhongchari FSR site in Bandarban district were examined for gastro-intestinal nematodes. The parasites encountered in the region were Haemonchus Sp, Bunostomum Sp, Oesophagostomum Sp and Strongyloides Sp. The overall infection rate was 78.41%. Among various species found. Haemonchus Sp emerged as the most prevalent, although Oesophagostomum and Bunostomum were also found in this studies. The seasonal fluctuation in infection was assessed by monitoring the fecal egg count. The maximum values for the prevalence and overall mean EPG were observed after the heavy rain fall season and remained at a relatively high level from June to November. Haemonchus Sp and Oesophagostomum Sp appeared to be of major important parasites in the goats of this climatic zone which deserved proper treatment to attain higher production from goat.

  • This study was carried out to determine a suitable mixing rate to utilize the PDF as a bedding materials at the pigpens and investigate the effect of substitute processed dustproof fly-ash(PDF) on the odor. In proportion to the increase of substitute rate of the PDF, the utilizable period was extended, and there was a little change of the moisture in the bedding materials. At all the treatment of PDF, there was the significant effect on the maggots and parasites but it didn\`t hinder in the biodegradation. According to highly mixing rate, PDF decreased in the noxious gas ($NH_3$ and $H_2$S) emission. In conclusion, the mixing rate of 30% or above this substituted level will increase replacement terms, and reduce the sawdust cost and the pollutions of breed pigs.

  • Seven specimens of Sebastes melanops, black rockfish and three of S. maliger, quillback rockfish, were collected from Oregon Coast Aquarium during the period of September 19 to November 5, 2001 and examined for parasites. One monogenean helminth species and parasitic copepod species were recorded from black and quillback rockfishes, respectively. A total of 26 parasites were collected: 16 Microcotyle sebastis from the gill filaments of black and quillback rockfishes and 10 Clavella adunca were found in the fins of black rockfish. The prevalence of Microcotyle sebastis was 40.0%, and intensity of infection was 2.0(1-11). With regard to Clavella adunca, the prevalence and intensity were 20.0% and 1.4(2-8), respectively.

The case report on the Leech, Trachelobdella sp. infestation in wild Crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri) of Chungnam Province in Korea (자연산 떡붕어(carassius cuvieri) 아가미 뚜껑 내부에 기생된 거머리의 감염 예)

  • A kind of leeches, Trachelobdella sp was detected on the inside surface of the opercle of wild crucian carp, Carassius cuvieri (21.5 cm in length and 238.5 g in weight) at a reservoir for agriculture in ChungNam Province of Korea in March, 2002. Two or three round transparent spots on the opercle could be easily detected. The fish also showed severe anemia and dorsally darking in the gill lamellae. The parasites was identified as Trachelobdella sp. on the basis of morphological characteristics such as suckers, body segmentation and lateral diverticula. As the parasites fed on host blood after attaching on the inside surface of the opercle by means of the posterior sucker, they caused severe anemia and petechial haemorrhge on the gill of infested fish. Heavy infestation of the parasite resulted in dath of fish because of large amount of blood loss.

Anthelmintic Efficacy of Febantel (Rintal) upon Intestinal Parasites of Domestic Animals (N-{2-[2, 3,-bis-(methoxy-carbonyl) -guanidino]-5-(phenyl-thio)-phenyl}-2-methoxy-acetamid, Febantel(=Rintal)에 의한 가축의 장내기생충에 대한 구충실험)

  • A comparative study was performed on two different strains of Leishmania major, chloroquine sensitive strains (Chl$^{S}$) and its mutant chloroquine resistant strains (Chl$^{R}$). Chl$^{R}$ strains were obtained at 5$\times$$10^{-4}$M chloroquine. Remarkable differences were observed at the initial chloroquine uptake in Chl$^{R}$ and Chl$^{S}$, i.e., the rate of uptake was very reduced in Chl$^{R}$ (Km values were 70 nM and 125 nM, respectively). Influx and accumulation of chloroquine were also compared between wild type and mutant. An increasing tendency in both influx and accumulation of chloroquine was shown in Chl$^{S}$, but Chl$^{R}$ demonstrated a rapid release after a little uptake (influx) at the early stage. This result is thought to be basis of their resistance for Chl$^{R}$ strains.

  • Pathological conditions of Pacific oysters were surveyed in some coastal areas of Korea. Samples of 30 to 45 oysters were collected in Kamakman, Masan and in Gosung Bay. Protozoan includes gregarine-like organism, Marteilioides chungmuensis, Haplosporidium; ciliates Ancitrocoma and Metazoa (termatode, nematode, copepod) were observed in samples from most of the sampling areas. Marteilioides chungmuensis was found in all sampling sites. Protozoan, Halosporidium sp. and Ancistrocoma sp. occurred in oysters from Gosung Bay (year 2000) with very low prevalence. Trematode Gymnophalloides was frequently found in oysters from all studied areas. Inflammation was frequently observed in oysters infected with M. chungmuensis and Pseudomyicola. The damaged structures were found in digestive tubes of oysters infected by Halosporidium sp. and Pseudomyicola sp. Some of the parasites and pathological status could associate with the conditions of oysters and the environment.

  • Attempts were made to isolate and identify Korean bovine Babesia parasite. Blood samples were collected from Holstein cows in Korea. and Babesia parasites were propagated in SCID mice with circulating bovine red 1)food cells for isolation. The isolate was then antigenically and genotypically compared with several Japanese isolates. The Korean parasite was found to be nearly identical to the Oshima strain isolated from Japanese cattle, which was recently designated as Babesia ovata oshimensis n. var. Haemaphusalis longicornis was the most probable tick species that transmitted the parasite .
