Malaria is mainly transmitted by Anopheles sinensis which is dominant species in malaria high-risk area, northern part of Gyeonggi province in Korea. Pyrethroid insecticide is used for malaria vector, An. sinensis in Korea and the previous investigation consistently reported insecticide resistance from the vector. This study investigated insecticide susceptible and resistant alleles from An. sinensis and the status of malaria vector control in malaria high-risk area. For the study, An. sinensis collected from Paju, Gimpo and Ganghwa were sequenced for kdr detection. In Paju, there was no homozygous susceptibility and all of tested samples had homozygous or heterozygous resistance. There were 6.7% for susceptible homozygosity and 93.3% for resistant homozygosity or heterozygosity in Gimpo. Furthermore, the percentages of homozygous susceptibility and homozygous or heterozygous resistance in Ganghwa were 5.7% and 94.3% respectively. The results showed that the frequency of the insecticide resistance from An. sinensis in malaria high-risk area were increased much more than the previous investigation. Hence, this study suggests that malaria vector control programs should have to be prepared for the management of pyrethroid insecticide resistance.

As a plan for oil spill accidents, research to collect and analyze optimal equipment assignments is essential. However, studies that have diversified and analyzed the optimal equipment assignments for responding to oil spill accidents have not been preceded. In response to the need for analyzing optimal equipment assignments study, we devised a genetic algorithm for optimal equipment assignments. The designed genetic algorithm yielded 10,000 optimal equipment assignments. We clustered using the k-means algorithm. As a result, the two clusters of Yeosu, Daesan, and Ulsan, which are expected to be the largest spills, were clearly identified. We also projected 16-dimensional data in two dimensions via Sammon's mapping. The projected data were analyzed for distribution. We confirmed that results of the simulation were better than those of optimal equipment assignments included in the cluster.In the future, it will be possible to implement an approximate model with excellent performance based on this study.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens의 연구는 유전공학 시대를 맞이하여 많은 연구자들의 커다란 주목을 끌고있다. 식물세포내에 외부 유전자를 도입시키는, 확실히 믿을 수 있는 vector로 등장된 때문이다. 원래 이세균은 식물 줄기나 뿌리에 암종을 유발시키므로서 암발성 원인 구명 연구로 흥미를 끌게 되었다. 연구결과는 암발생 예방및 치료에 목적을 둠은 덩연할 것이다. 많은 약제가 시험되었으나 별로 진전을 보지 못하던중 비 원인성인 Agrobacterium radiobacter, strain 84에 의한 생물학적 방제의 성공으로 유일한 방제법을 갖게되었다. 뒤이어 암종발생 기작도 밝혀졌다.

Control of coccidiosis depends on medication, management, immunity, or some combination of these methods. Prophylactic medication with anticoccidials remains the primary method of control, although the development of drug resistance is a major problem. Shuttle and rotation programs are increasingly used to delay the onset of drug resistance. Sensitivity testing has become an important tool in the identification of what specific medications will be effective in specific poultry operations. Management techniques for the control of coccidiosis have not been totally effective because most disinfectants do not kill the coccidial oocysts. Present methods for vaccination are currently limited to the use of controlled doses of live coccidia. New vaccination methods under investigation include vaccination with attenuated strains or parasite antigens produced either by fractionating the parasites or genetically engineered sub unit vaccines.

The alpha-proteobacterium Wolbachia is one of the most important intracellular symbionts of arthropods. This Gram-negative bacterium is involved in many biological processes and is currently considered as a potential tool for biological control. Wolbachia is a cytoplasmic bacterium, maternally transferred through generations, and to facilitate its success, it has evolved several strategies that manipulate its host reproductive system to increase the number of infected individuals in the host population. The variety of Wolbachia was first recognized using genes wsp, 16S rRNA, ftsZ, gltA and groEL as molecular markers while strain genotypes of Wolbachia are determined of Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and sequence of amino acid in region, hyper variable regions (HVRs) in protein WSP. Possible uses of the bacteria and their predominant phenotypes in control programs for agricultural pests and human disease vectors have been considered. Phenotypes are known to induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), parthenogenesis induction (PI), feminization (F) and male killing (MK). Finally, applications of the bacterium in control programs of agricultural and medical insect pests have been discussed.

Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian is a dangerous disease threatening pepper growers worldwide. The efficacy of chemical control is generally low as the pathogen is soil-borne and rapidly spread by zoospores during the rainy season. Thus, based on the demand for resistant varieties, various good resistant sources, such as CM334, AC2258, and PI201234, have been reported and their inheritance of resistance studied by many different authorities. However, the mode of inheritance remains unclear, as 1 or 2 independent dominant genes, 3 genes, or multiple genes have all been reported as responsible for resistance. Recently, QTL mappings of the gene factors for resistance have been reported, and molecular markers for resistance used in breeding programs. With the release of many resistant commercial hybrid cultivars, differentiation of pathotypes of the pathogen is attracting interest among breeders and plant pathologists. Various authorities have already classified the pathogen strains into different races according to the inter-action between resistant host plants, including the source of resistance, such as CM334 and PI201234, and resistant commercial varieties and P. capsici isolates. However, no standard differential host sets have yet been established, so the results are good only for the pathogen strains used in the experiments. Thus, for breeding varieties with durable resist-ance, it is important to introduce resistance from different sources and use diverse local pathogen strains collected in the target area for distribution in a breeding program.

Plant have developed sophisticated defence mechanisms against microbial pathogens. The recent accumulated information allow us to understand the nature of plant immune responses followed by recognition of microbial factors/determinants through cutting-edge genomics and multi-omics techniques. However, the practical approaches to sustain plant health using enhancement of plant immunity is yet to be fully appreciated. Here, we overviewed the general concept and representative examples on the plant immunity. The fungal, bacterial, and viral determinants that was previously reported as the triggers of plant immune responses are introduced and described as the potential protocol of biological control. Specifically, the role of chitin, glucan, lipopolysaccharides/extracellular polysaccharides, microbe/pathogen-associated molecular pattern, antibiotics, mimic-phytohormones, N-acyl homoserine lactone, harpin, vitamins, and volatile organic compounds are considered. We hope that this review stimulates scientific community and farmers to broaden their knowledge on the microbial determinant-based biological control and to apply the technology on the integrated pest management program.

The term mycoherbicide started in 1970, but its interest heightened due to increase costs of chemical herbicides. A classical biocontrol agent is expected to become a permanent part of its new environment and do no harm to it. Contemporary biological control agent(BCA) must be produced by artificial culture and could be applied like chemical herbicides over weeds. BCA is different from the classical approach in that it released through natural spread. To date 26 species of fungi are used as classical BCA against 26 species of weeds in seven countries. There are a number of examples of pathogens attacking non-target plants. But through risk assessments which include understanding the taxonomy, biology and ecology, the target and non-target species, it will be safe to introduce of exotic pathogens to control weeds. But pathogens have not been successfully used in practice. Many mycoherbicides show potential in laboratories, but are ineffective in the field and not consistent from year to year or field to field. There is also a lack of understanding humidity, dew formation and temperature and their effects on suppression of weeds by plant pathogens. Potential pathogen must be selected as a BCA. Previous studies suggest that these pathogens must (1) produce abundant and durable inoculum in artifical culture, (2) be genetically stable and weed specific and (3) kill weeds in control. A granular preparation of mycoherbicide into sodium alginate is lighter than liquids and less bulky than organic matter. Gel forms have also been used.

상당히 성공적인 사람병원체인 결핵균을 Robert Koch가 발견한 이래, 결핵 방제의 상당한 진보에도 불구하고, 결핵의 발생은 현재까지 계속되어오고 있다(Tiruviluamala and Reichman 2002). 그러므로, 완전한 민감성과 특이성을 갖는 신속한 진단방법이 결핵과 결핵의 잠복감염을 진단하는데 요구되어지며(Tiruviluamala and Reichman 2002), 계속적으로 결핵균과 BCG의 유전체와 단백질체 연구를 통하여 결핵 방제수단이 발전되어질 것이다 (Jungblut et al. 1999). 본 연구는 PPD가 결핵을 진단하는 특이한 항원만으로 정확하게 조화를 이루고 있지 않다는 것을 보여주었으며, 그것의 역가는 결론적으로 생물학적으로 평가되어져야 하지만, PPD의 제조는 단백질체 분석 기법에 의해 분석되고 표준화될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이를 통하여 결핵 피내진단의 일괄된 결과를 위해 PPD 사용 전에 이와같은 단백질체 분석기법을 적용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 본 연구에서 밝혀진 특이 항원은 새로운 피내진단항원으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
