The Formosan sika deer (Cervus nippon taiouanus) is an endemic subspecies in Taiwan. The original wild deer has been extinct since the late 1960s. The largest captive population is located at the Taipei Zoo. Except for infectious disease outbreaks, no systemic medical research has been reported for this subspecies. This study was conducted to analyze the medical status of the captive Formosan sika deer population, including the hematological and serum chemistry characteristics. To accomplish this, medical records for 34 Formosan sika deer from January 2003 to January 2014 were acquired and analyzed. The most common illness and cause of death was trauma, followed by gastrointestinal and respiratory disease, respectively. The hematologic and serum chemical values of healthy adults were quite different from those of sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis). This study provides a closer medical understanding of this subspecies and the results will facilitate its management.

The plant pathogenic bacterial genus Pectobacteirum consists of heterogeneous strains. The P. carotovorum species is a complex strain showing divergent characteristics, and a new subspecies named P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis has been identified recently. In this paper, we re-identified the P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis isolates from those classified under the subspecies carotovorum and newly isolated P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis strains. All isolates were able to produce plant cell-wall degrading enzymes such as pectate lyase, polygalacturonase, cellulase and protease. We used genetic and biochemical methods to examine the diversity of P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis isolates, and found genetic diversity within the brasiliensis subsp. isolates in Korea. The restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis based on the recA gene revealed a unique pattern for the brasiliensis subspecies. The Korean brasiliensis subsp. isolates were divided into four clades based on pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. However, correlations between clades and isolated hosts or year could not be found, suggesting that diverse brasiliensis subsp. isolates existed.

Paratuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Mpt) is a chronic infectious enteric disease with deleterious impact on the performance in ruminants. In Korea, ELISA has been introduced to detect antibodies to Mpt in individual cattle. However, comparison study with ELISA has not been studied until now. In total, a panel of 899 serum samples obtained from dairy cattle was analyzed with two commercial ELISAs for Mpt to assess the performance. Two ELISAs employed in this study were both licensed worldwide. Two ELISAs applied onto same serum samples showed the moderate agreement (kappa value = 0.60). There was non-significant McNemar test (p = 0.0614) between two ELISA results indicating that each proportion detected by two kits did not differ. In addition, the percent agreement between two ELISA results was turned out to be 96.8% which interpreted excellent reproducibility. It was shown from this study that two ELISAs revealed moderate kappa agreement performance. The implication raised is that when ELISAs as diagnostics are used to detect Mpt in individual cattle, positive reaction by either ELISA should be interpreted as serologically Mpt positive due to presumed low sensitivity of ELISAs and their test agreement being less than 100%.

Susceptibility to chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervid species has been associated with polymorphisms in the prion protein gene (PRNP). The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in the PRNP of the Korean subspecies of Chinese water deer via analyses of the DNA sequences obtained from 34 individual deer. Two SNPs were detected at codons 77 and 100. One SNP at codon 77 encoding Glycine was determined to be a silent mutation but the other SNP detected at codon 100 induced an amino acid change, from Asparagine to Serine. The prion protein (PrP) amino acid sequence of the water deer showed 98.8-99.2% homology with those of American elk, white-tailed deer and mule deer. The PrP of the water deer contained amino acid residues closely related with CWD-susceptibility. This study is the first to describe genetic variations in the PRNP of the Korean subspecies of Chinese water deer.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's disease (JD) in ruminants. This is the first large scale report to estimate the herd-level prevalence of antibodies against MAP by using an ELISA to detect antibodies in bulk tank milk (BTM) samples. The samples were collected from January 2011 to November 2011, from 636 herds of the dairy farms in the Gyeonggi and Chungbuk areas of Korea. The overall apparent prevalence of MAP antibody-positive herds was 8.5%, and regional prevalence were 32/440 (7.3%) and 22/196 (11.2%) of dairy farms in the Gyeonggi and Chungbuk areas, respectively. The results did not differ significantly by region. While we have determined the prevalence rate of MAP in the Gyenoggi and Chungbuk areas in this study, there is a continuing need for well-designed studies to calculate the prevalence of MAP in dairy herds based on culture and molecular findings.

딱정벌레류는 포식성(捕食性) 곤충(昆蟲)으로서, 특히 삼림해충(森林害蟲) 및 가축위생해충(家畜衛生害蟲)들의 생물학적(生物學的) 방제(防除)에 기여(寄與)할 수 있는 유용(有用) 천적곤충(天敵昆蟲)이다. 그 중에서 우리나라에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 멋쟁이딱정벌레 5아종(亞種), 9개지역 개체군(個體群)을 대상으로 계량형태학적(計量形態學的) 다변량해석(多變量解析)을 시도 하였다. 그 결과 외부형질(外部形質)의 비교에서 각 아종간(亞種間)이 평균(平均) 96.3%, 아종(亞種)을 무시한 종내(種內) 개체군간(個體群間)은 97.4%, 그리고 jankowskii 아종내(亞種內)의 개체군(個體群)만 비교 했을때 100%로서, 모두 평균(平均) 75% 이상(以上)의 분리율(分離率)이 나타났으며, 유의수준(有意水準)도 P<0.001로 판명되어, 각 아종간(亞種間) 및 지역간(地域間)이 명백히 서로 구별되어졌다. 웅성생식기(雄性生殖器)의 형질에만 의존한 비교에서는 Group 3(quelpartianus)의 85.6%를 제외한 대부분 분리율(分離率)이 표준(標準) 75% 법칙(法則)이하로 나타났으며, 유의수준(有意水準)도 대부분 P>0.001로 나타나서 그 판별력(判別力) 해석(解析)에 도움이 되지 못하였다. 이상에서와 같이 정량해석(定量解析) 방법(方法)에 의한 구분결과(區分結果)와 정성형질(定性形質)의 차이로서 전남(全南) 진도(珍島) 지역(地域)의 개체군(個體群)을 신아종(新亞種)으로 추가 기재(記載)하였다. 따라서, 우리나라에서 멋쟁이 딱정벌레는 현재 7아종(亞種)으로 구분될 수 있으나, 그 중에서 원명아종(原名亞鍾)은 조사된 5개 지역에서 모두 미세형태적(微細形態的) 형질(形質)의 차이가 다변량해석(多變量解析)에 의해 인지(認知)되었으므로 장차 자료의 보완과 함께 재검토(再檢討)가 요망(要望)된다.

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, aizawai, dendrolimus, finitimus 그리고 israelensis의 결정성독소의 특성을 구명하기 위하여 이들 균주들이 생산하는 결정성독소들을 alkali용액, SDS용액, 누에소화액 그리고 부분정제된 누에소화액 protease에 용해시켜 전기영동을 실시 이들 독소의 저분자화 현상을 조사하였으며 또한 amino산 조성과 면역학적 특성을 조사하여 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Alkali 용액과 1% SDS-1% $\beta$-mercaptoethanol에 결정성독소들을 용해시킨 결과 subsp. kurstaki, dendrolimus, finitimus 그리고 aizawai로부터는 분자량 1.3$\times$105과 6.5$\times$104의 subunit가 주 band로 나타났고 subsp. israelensis에서는 분자량 4$\times$104과 1.4$\times$104의 subunit가 주 band로 나타났다. 2. 누에소화액에 의한 결정성독소의 분해상은 alkali용액이나 SDS-mercaptoethanol 처리때와 같은 pattern을 보여 주었다. 3. 부분정제된 누에소화액 protease로 결정성독소를 용해시켰을 경우 subsp. kurstaki, aizawai, finitimus에서는 분자량 1.3$\times$105의 subunit는 용해되어 거의 나타나지 않았고 6.0-6.4$\times$104의 subunit가 주 band로 나타났으며 subsp. dendrolimus에서는 분해 정도가 약하게 나타났고 subsp. israelensis에서는 alkali나 SDS 처리때와 비슷한 전기영동상을 나타냄으로써 누에소화액 protease에 의하여 용해되지 않았음을 보여 주었다. 4. 결정성독소의 amino산 조성은 subsp. israelensis에서는 aspartic산이 14.5%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였고 그외 4개의 subsp.에서는 glutamic산이 13.9-14.6%로 가장 많았다. 5. 결정성독소의 면역학적 특성을 보면 subsp. israelensis의 항체는 그것의 항원과만 반응하고 그외 4개의 subsp.의 항체는 각각의 항원과 그리고 서로 다른 항원과 교호하여 반응하였다.

한국 특산종 Cobitis kireensis의 두 아종 C. k. koreensis와 C. k. pumilus의 지리적 변이 및 아종의 위치를 규명하기 위하여 남한의 6개 집단에서 채집된 457개체를 대상으로 형태 형질 분석 및 전기영동법에 의한 유전적 변이를 조사하였다. 형태형질의 계측, 계수 및 discriminant function 분석에서 집단 간 및 아종 간의 유의한 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 각 집단 간 유전적 변이는 평균 A=1.5, P =37.3%, HD=0.053, 및 HG=0.097로 타 어류군이 변이정도보다 다소 높은 편이었으나 C. k. pumilus는 A= 1.2, P=19.0%, HD=0.029, 및 HG=0.078로 변이정도가 매우 낮았다. 두 아종 간의 평균 유전적 근연치는 S=0.894로 C. k. koreensis 5개 집단간 평균 유전적 근연치 S=0.894와 거의 동일하였으며 아종 간에 유전적 차이가 없었다. 따라서 C. k. pumilus를 아종으로 분류하는 것은 부적합하다고 사료된다.

Morphological and ecological comparions are made between specimens of Cobitis koreensis KIM and the geographically restricted population of the Cobitid fish which is found along the Begchon stream, Puangun, Cholla-bugdo province over a 12-month period of 1982 and 1983. The Begchon population is tentatively identified as Cobitis koreensis, but the color patterns and two morphometric proportions differ widely fromthose reported previously for this species. In addition to these character, it is easily distinguished from C. koreensis by the smaller body size, by having the larger egg size and the less egg number in female during the breeding season. As the differentiation of this population is primarily due to geographically isolation, it is supposed that Begchon cobitid population may be an undescribed distinct subspecies of K. koreensis or above the conventional subspecies level.
