국내에서 채집된 메기디스 곤충병원선충(Heterorhabditis megidis)을 이용하여 집파리(Musca domestica)와 풀색꽃무지(Gametis jucunda)에 대해서 방제 효과를 검정하였다. 페트리디시 실내실험에서 H. megidis는 집파리와 풀색꽃무지 2령충에 대해 각각 456.4 및 238.9 infective juveniles (IJs)/마리의 반수치사 농도를 보였다. 이는 이미 방제 효과가 잘 알려진 곤충병원선충인 Steinernema carpocapsae을 동일한 두 종에 처리하였을 때 얻은 반수치사 농도(집파리는 115.9 IJs/마리, 풀색꽃무지는 388.6 IJs/마리)와 대조되었다. 포장시험에서는 집파리가 발생하는 축산농가에 평방 미터당 1,000,000 IJs를 처리할 경우 56.9%의 방제 효과를 보였다. 반면에 풀색꽃무지가 발생되는 사과원에 평방 미터당 370,000 IJs를 처리할 경우 57.3%의 방제 효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 국내에서 발생하는 메기디스 곤충병원선충이 집파리와 풀색꽃무지에 대해서 효과적 생물방제 인자가 될 수 있는 것을 제시한다.

The acute dermal and eye irritation tests of Photorhabdus temperata, a symbiotic bacterium of Heterorhabditis megidis Gwangju strain, were carried out in New Zealand white rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), following the guidelines of OECD and Rural Development Administration (RDA) of Korea. In both tests, neither dermal nor eye responses were found from all the P. temperata treated rabbits and the results were classified as non-irritating. That is, erythema, eschar, edema, and any other dermal critical signs were not observed from all the experimental rabbits in the dermal irritation test. In the acute eye irritation test, no clinical signs of cornea, iritis, conjunctiva (redness, edema, lacrima, and chemosis) were observed from all the experimental rabbits. Individual ocular irritation, mean ocular irritation, and acute ocular irritation were calculated as 0.0. The results of dermal and eye irritation studies on P. temperata indicated that this bacterium could be a safe and effective alternative bionematicide against the most serious plant-parasitic root-knot nematodes in the genus Meloidogyne.

Photorhabdus is a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis in the family Heterorhabditidae. Photorhabdus is known to have nematicidal activity in addition to insecticidal activity. P. temperata isolated from Korean indigenous H. megidis Gwangju strain also produced high control efficacy against root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans. P. temperata has drawn interest as a potential bionematicide for the control of root-knot nematodes thereby. For the registration as an organic agricultural material, the toxicity of P. temperata was assessed by the acute toxicity test in carp (Cyprinus carpio) and acute oral and dermal toxicity tests in Sprague-Dawley rat (Rattus norvegicus) in compliance with the guidelines of the Rural Development Administration (RDA). In the acute toxicity test in fish, neither lethality nor abnormal responses of carp were observed. Body length and weight of carp and changes in DO concentrations and pH values were not significantly different between the treated group and the untreated control. In the acute oral and dermal toxicity tests, clinical signs, abnormal behavior, mortality, and pathological findings were not observed in all the experimental rats. The weight increment of all rats was normal. Acute toxicity results of P. temperata in fish and rats belonged to categories III, IV, and IV of RDA, respectively. Toxicity results of the present study indicated that P. temperata could be a safe and promising bionematicide against root-knot nematodes and root lesion nematode.
