In a harbor seal in captivity from the Yellow sea of Korea, alopecia began on flippers and tail, and spread to ventral part of abdomen and dorsal part of body in order. Multiples coalesced, and well-circumscribed lesions such as patches and maculas appeared on foreflipper, hind flipper, perianus, ventral part of tail, lips, and some parts of trunk were appeared in. Phialophora richardsiae, Gemella morbillorum, and coagulate-negative etaphyococci were isolated from Besions and hairs. After treatment with internal and external ketoconazole, povidone iodine, cephalexinl Pink Skin~l and multivitamins hair grew up and lesions were disappeared completely 8 months after occurrence.

천연기념물 제 331호인 식욕목 바다표범과 포유류인 수컷 잔점박이 물범(harbor seal, Phoca vitulina) 1마리가 폐사되어 부검을 의뢰하였다. 포획시기는 불명확하지만 연령은 10세로 추정되는 물범은 체중이 약 90kg이고 체장140cm이며, 4여년 동안 동물원에서 전시되었다가 폐사하였다. 부검시 심장에서는 선충 2마리가 발견되었다. 이 성충 2마리중 길이가 14cm인 수컷 1마리는 우심방에서 발견되었고, 죄심방에서는 길이가 28cm인 암컷 1마리가 발견되었다. 검사결과 본 선충은 심장 사상충 (Dirofilaria immitis)으로 판명되었고, 동물원 풀장에서 서식하는 동안 감염된 것으로 생각된다.

An acanthocephalan parasite, Corynosoma strumosum, was found in the intestine of harbor seal, Phoca largha, living in the East Sea, Korea. The probosci's hook and trunk spine patterns typical of the collected worms indicated it to be C. strumosum. The body lengths measured are 4.2-5.8 (4.9) mm in males and 5.3-6.8 (5.7) mm in females. The proboscis is bent ventrally, armed with 18 longitudinal rows of 9-13 hooks in males and 20 longitudinal rows of 11-13 hooks in females. The proboscis receptacle is double-walled with the robust trapezoidal neck being unarmed. The hind-trunk is pipe-shaped with posterior parallel sides. The characteristic hind trunk spines cover the anterior third of the ventral surface. The lemnisci are equal and slightly shorter than the double-walled proboscis receptacle, which is longer than the proboscis. This species is an acanthocephalan parasite reported for the first time in Korea.
