국내 배추좀나방(Plutella xylostella) 집단은 피레스로이드 농약에 대해서 저항성을 보이며, 이는 이 살충제의 작용점인 소듐이온채널 유전자의 돌연변이에 기인된다. 더욱이 배추좀나방은 대부분 상용화된 살충제에 대해서 저항성을 발달시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 배추좀나방을 효과적으로 방제하기 위해 내부기생성 천적인 프루텔고치벌(Cotesia plutellae)과 미생물농약인 Bacillus thuringiensis의 혼합처리 기술을 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 프루텔고치벌이 감수성과 저항성 배추좀나방에 대한 기생 선호성에 차등이 있는 지 조사하기 위해 다섯 개 서로 다른 집단에 대해서 살충제 감수성과 프루텔고치벌 기생성 차이를 비교하였다. 이들 배추좀나방 집단들은 피레스로이드, 유기인계, 네오니코틴계 및 곤충성장조절제를 포함하는 세 종류의 상용 살충제에 대한 약제 감수성에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 그러나 이들 집단들은 프루텔고치벌에 의한 기생률에서는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 더욱이 기생된 배추좀나방은 B. thuringiensis에 대해서 감수성이 증가되었다. 프루텔고치벌이 갖는 면역억제인자 가운데 바이러스 유래 ankyrin 유전자(vankyrin)를 비기생된 배추좀나방에 발현시켰다. Vankyrin의 발현은 배추좀나방 3령충의 B. thuringiensis에 대한 감수성을 현격하게 증가시켰다. 즉, 프루텔고치벌에 의해 야기된 면역저하가 B. thuringiensis의 살충력을 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 프루텔고치벌과 미생물농약인 B. thuringiensis의 혼합처리가 살충제 저항성 배추좀나방을 효과적으로 방제할 수 있다고 제시하고 있다.

송이(Tricholoma matsutake, Songyi, pine mushroom)는 소나무(Pinus densiflora) 뿌리에 공생(共生)하는가, 아니면 기생(寄生)하는가를 알기 위하여 자연산 송이 균환(菌環) 내에서 균환선단, 송이발생지점, 균환 후단으로 구분하여 채집한 송이 균근(菌根)의 시간적-공간적 구조변화를 조사하였다. 송이는 소나무의 가장 가는 뿌리에 균투와 하티그 망을 형성하는 전형적인 외생균근(外生菌根)이다. 송이 균근(菌根)의 중요한 특징(特徵)은, 공간적으로는 소나무 뿌리의 정단부가 계속 생장함에 따라 송이 균근(菌根) 또한 왕성하게 정단부로 자라나간다. 그리고 시간적으로는 이미 형성된 균근(菌根)부분에서는 표피세포와 피층세포가 하티그 망과 함께 사멸하므로 뿌리표면이 흑갈색으로 주름이 진다. 그렇지만 송이균이 피층세포 내로 들어간 흔적은 없으며, 내피세포층 이상의 안쪽, 즉 뿌리의 통도조직으로 침입하여 들어간 흔적이 없이 정단분열조직은 살아있다. 이 정단부는 송이균이 사라지면서 들어오는 새로운 균과 균근을 형성한다. 그러므로 송이와 소나무의 관계는 단순한 공생(共生)이나 기생(寄生)이기 보다는 시간(時間)과 공간적(空間的)으로 공생(共生) 지점이 뿌리의 생장과 함께 옮겨가는 다이내믹한 외생균근(外生菌根) 공생(共生)관계라고 결론 짓는다.

The occurrence of Anagyrus kamali, a solitary endoparasite of the mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus has been reported for the first time from India. The parasitoid was fecund to parasitizing the field population of mealybug to the tune of 10.37 to 42.70% in different months. A comprehensive study on the development of the parasitoid on different stages of mealybug indicated that the parasitoid was able to complete its development in all the stages. Higher parasitism (67.48-78.08%) and more female progeny were observed when 3rd instar nymphs and adult female of the mealybug were exposed to the parasitoid. The biology of A. kamali studied at 25${\pm}1^{\circ}C$ temperature and 60${\pm}$$\pm$1.12 days. The duration of egg, larva (3 instars) and pupa were 2.67${\pm}$${\pm}$${\pm}$${\pm}$

The symbiotic organisms search (SOS) algorithm is an effective metaheuristic developed in 2014, which mimics the symbiotic relationship among the living beings, such as mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism, to survive in the ecosystem. In this study, three modified versions of the SOS algorithm are proposed by introducing adaptive benefit factors in the basic SOS algorithm to improve its efficiency. The basic SOS algorithm only considers benefit factors, whereas the proposed variants of the SOS algorithm, consider effective combinations of adaptive benefit factors and benefit factors to study their competence to lay down a good balance between exploration and exploitation of the search space. The proposed algorithms are tested to suit its applications to the engineering structures subjected to dynamic excitation, which may lead to undesirable vibrations. Structure optimization problems become more challenging if the shape and size variables are taken into account along with the frequency. To check the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms, six different planar and space trusses are subjected to experimental analysis. The results obtained using the proposed methods are compared with those obtained using other optimization methods well established in the literature. The results reveal that the adaptive SOS algorithm is more reliable and efficient than the basic SOS algorithm and other state-of-the-art algorithms.

Fecal samples were taken from 402 cows in Posung, Chonnam where was designated as a place for Korean native cattle breeding. Prevalence of intestinal parasitism were determined by the fecal examinations using the floatation and sedimintation procedures. 62.9% of the cows were found as positive cases with excretion of the eggs of Fasciola hepatica in the fecal specimens. Of those infected with F.hepatica 97 cows free of the pathogenic intestinal parasites were chosen for albendazole treatment. Albendazole tablets(10mg / kg) were administered to the cows twice at the interval of 4 weeks. Blood samples were collected via jugular vein prior to the first treatment. four weeks after the first treatment and four weeks after the second treatment respectively. At the same time fecal samples were collected for parasitological examination by sedimintation methods. The mean treatment count was 44 fluke egg per gram of feces, which compared with 27 EPG and 17 EPG four weeks after the first and second treatment, respectively. Most of the hematological values fluctuated within the normal range during the experiment. Eosinophil counts were high initially, decreased after the first treatment and there after remained steady.

A 36-year old Korean woman consulted a clinic for a regular gynecological examination, and a mass was noticed in her pelvis. She was referred to the Asan Medical Center, Seoul where transvaginal ultrasonography confirmed a pelvic mass exceeding 10cm in diameter. She received total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy, and a borderline serous neoplasm with micropapillary features involving the left ovary and right ovarian serosa was histopathologically confirmed. In addition, a section of a nematode with numerous eggs was found in the parenchyma of the left ovary. The worm had degenerated but the eggs were well-preserved and were identified as those of Enterobius vermicularis. She is an incidentally recognized case of ovarian enterobiasis.

The brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum and its mutualistic, ascomycete symbiont, Mycophycias ascophylli, form a complex ‘rganism’or symbiotum. Here we show the interaction of the symbiotum to the abundant brown algal epiphyte, Elachista fucicola. Microscopy of field-collected plants shows morphological responses of A. nodosum to the common epiphyte E. fucicola. When E. fucicola attaches to A. nodosum a bundle of several to dozens of rhizoids penetrates into the host. On the surface of the host, the cells proliferate to form a donut-shaped ring, 100-200 μm in height that surrounds the thallus of E. fucicola. A pit forms in advance of the rhizoids and the cells of A. nodosum break down. This leaves the network of fungal hyphae partially intact and intermingling with the epiphyte rhizoids and its lowermost cells. After the pit is formed, the cells of A. nodosum bordering the infection chamber redifferentiate an epidermal layer. Neither the host nor its mutualistic fungus, M. ascophylli appears to recognize E. fucicola as an invader and to prevent the attachment and growth of this epiphyte. Based on the physical damage to the host caused by invading rhizoids, we conclude that the relationship of E. fucicola to A. nodosum is that of a parasite and its host.

A small scale survey was performed to know the infection status of intestinal parasite in children of the residential institutions and street communities in Metro Manila, Philippines. A total of 284 stool samples from 11 institutions and 3 street communities was examined by the formalin-ether concentration method. The scotch tape anal swab was adapted to 121 children to investigate the infection status of Enterovius vermicularis. It was found out that 62.0％ of the children examined were positive for one or more intestinal parasites. Multiple infections were observed in 34.2％ of the children. Among 172 children who gave detail information, the prevalence for Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm was 36.0％, 44.8％, and 7.0％ respectively. Of the children examined, 47.7％ were found to be harboring parasitic protozoans such as Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Blastocystis hominis. The most prevalent of these protozoans was B. hominis with an infection rate of 40.7％. The prevalence of these infections among children living in institutions was relatively high. More efforts should be made to implement anthelminthic programs including bi-annual follow-up treatments.

Toxoplasma gondii GRA10 expressed as a GFP-GRA10 fusion protein in HeLa cells moved to the nucleoli within the nucleus rapidly and entirely. GRA10 was concentrated specifically in the dense fibrillar component of the nucleolus morphologically by the overlap of GFP-GRA10 transfection image with IFA images by monoclonal antibodies against GRA10 (Tg378), B23 (nucleophosmin) and C23 (nucleolin). The nucleolar translocalization of GRA10 was caused by a putative nucleolar localizing sequence (NoLS) of GRA10. Interaction of GRA10 with TATA-binding protein associated factor 1B (TAF1B) in the yeast two-hybrid technique was confirmed by GST pull-down assay and immunoprecipitation assay. GRA10 and TAF1B were also co-localized in the nucleolus after co-transfection. The nucleolar condensation of GRA10 was affected by actinomycin D. Expressed GFP-GRA10 was evenly distributed over the nucleoplasm and the nucleolar locations remained as hollows in the nucleoplasm under a low dose of actinomycin D. Nucleolar localizing and interacting of GRA10 with TAF1B suggested the participation of GRA10 in rRNA synthesis of host cells to favor the parasitism of T. gondii.
