The endocrine cells in the midgut epithelium of the Japanese cockroach, Periplaneta japonica were observed by the light and electron microscopy. The midgut epithelium of the last instar larva and adult cockroach consisted of principal columnar cells, regenerative cells, and secretory granular cells. Midgut endocrine cells were positioned basally as a cone-shaped single cell in the epithelium or underneath the regenerative crypt cells. When midgut epithelium grows and the cell composing it transforms, between the endocrine cells and regenerative cells were made desmosome type junction and large vesicular shaped stretches of loose contact. The endocrine cells were characterized by a clear cytoplasm with abundant Golgi complex and numerous secretory granules. The secretory granules in the cell were spherical and electron dense with their diameter of $200{\sim}400nm$. The secretory granules have been observed as discharged by exocytosis on the basal and lateral side of the cell.

Cockroaches inhabit various habitats, which will influence their microbiome. Although the microbiome can be influenced by the diet and environmental factors, it can also differ between species. Therefore, we conducted 16S rDNA-targeted high-throughput sequencing to evaluate the overall bacterial composition of the microbiomes of 3 cockroach species, Periplaneta americana, P. japonica, and P. fuliginosa, raised in laboratory for several generations under the same conditions. The experiments were conducted using male adult cockroaches. The number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) was not significantly different among the 3 species. With regard to the Shannon and Pielou indexes, higher microbiome values were noted in P. americana than in P. japonica and P. fuliginosa. Microbiome composition was also evaluated, with endosymbionts accounting for over half of all OTUs in P. japonica and P. fuliginosa. Beta diversity analysis further showed that P. japonica and P. fuliginosa had similar microbiome composition, which differed from that of P. americana. However, we also identified that P. japonica and P. fuliginosa host distinct OTUs. Thus, although microbiome compositions may vary based on multiple conditions, it is possible to identify distinct microbiome compositions among different Periplaneta cockroach species, even when the individuals are reared under the same conditions.

We evaluated the efficacy of health education in reducing indoor arthropod allergens in Seoul. The mite control measures comprised the use of mite-proof mattress and pillow coverings, regular washing of potentially infested materials, maintenance of a low humidity, removal of carpets, and frequent vacuum cleaning. Cockroach control measures included trapping, application of insecticides, and protecting food. Of 201 homes enrolled in October 1999, 63 volunteers were included in a 2-year follow-up survey between April 2000 and January 2002. Before intervention, the density of mites/g of dust varied greatly; 27.1/g in children's bedding, 20/g in adult bedding, 7.2/g on the floors of children's bedrooms, 6.8/g in sofas, 5.9/g on the floors of adult's bedrooms, 3.9/g on living room floors, 3.7/g in carpets, and 1.9 mites/g on kitchen floors. The predominant mite species and house percentages infested were; Dermatophagoides farinae $93\%$, D. pteronyssinus $9\%$, and Tyrophagus putrescentiae $8\%$. Comparing 1999 and 2001 infestations, before and after 25 mo of education, mite abundance was reduced by $98\%$, from 23.7 to 0.57 mites/g of dust. In 1999, cockroaches were detected in $62\%$ homes: $36\%$ Blattella germanica and $35\%$ Periplaneta spp., including $9\%$ double infestations of B. germanica and P. americana. Following intervention, cockroach infestation rates decreased to $22\%$ of houses in 2000 and $23\%$ in 2001. We conclude that continuous and repetitive health education resulted in the effective control of domestic arthropods.

In the cities nowadays, the dwelling conditions of Cackroach are provided by use of various kinds of construction material, installation of heating and cooling facilities that maintain moderate temperature, filthy sanitation, and lack of knowledge about insect as mechanical Vector. Cakroach is infectious disease Vector, and it proves to be of much importance in the public health. Considering such importance, the author has surveyed the distribution of Cackroach in the housing areas of Seoul City from May 1969 to the end of August 1969, and has come to the following conclusion: 1. House dwelling Cackroach collected in the City of Seoul are of two species, i. e. Blatella Germanica Linneaus and Periplaneta Japonica Karny. 2. Most of cackroach collected in Seoul are Blatella Germanica Linneaus and they are distributed in whole area of Seoul while that of Periplaneta Japonica Karny is distributed only in the limited area. 3. Dwelling places of Blatella Germanica Lineaus are in grog shop, Korean food restaurants, bakery shops, and patient rooms in hospitals. Many of them are found in tile kitchens and dining rooms of restaurants, and tearooms. They live in groups at older houses with much crack, warm and humid places. 4. For method of collection, the hand collection was the most effective. In trap collection during the day time, when the trap is placed at the narrow corners off the ground after confirming the dwelling places of cackroach, the match trap was more effective than the flask trap in collecting. In case of collecting during the night time, the flask trap was much more effective method than the match trap.

1994년 7월 전라남도 진도에서 위생절지동물상을 조사하였다. 모기는 8종이 채집되었는데 그중 일본뇌염 매개종인 작은빨간집모기(Culex tritaeniorhynchus)가 우점종이었다. 신종으로 보이는 Cluex sp. 유충이 채집되었는데 명명은 성충이 채집되지 않아 보류하였다. 깔따구는 모두 11속 23종이 채집되었는데 그 중 Cladopelma viridula(녹색사촌무깔따구, 신칭), Dicrotendipes septem-maculatus(여섯점갈래깔따구, 신칭) 및 Harnischia urtilamellata(혹무깔따구, 신칭)는 한국 미기록종이어서 자세히 재기재하였다. 깔따구류중 우점종은 안개무늬날개깔따구(Chironomus kiiensis)이었고(67.3%), 노란털깔따구(Ch. flaviplumus)가 그 다음이었다(15.6%), 등에모기는 모두 5종이 채집되었고 그 중 Culicoides punctatus가 88.7%로 우점종이었다. Foreipomia sp.도 채집되었는데 이 속은 한국에서 처음으로 기록되는 것이다. 들쥐 채집결과는 등줄쥐(Apodemus agrarius)가 높은 밀도를 보였고 등줄쥐에 기생하는 외부기생 절지동물로 Leptotrombidium orientale, Ixodes nipponensis, Laelaps jettmani, Eulaelaps stabularis 등이 동정되었다.

수원 지방에 서식하는 바퀴의 종류와 상대밀도를 조사하기 위하여 수원 시내 7개 다른 서식처, 여관, 다방, 중식 음식점, 한식 음식점, 개인 병원, 아파트, 그리고 단독주택을 선정하여 끈끈이 트랩에 의한 바퀴의 채집과 서식처별 상대밀도조사를 1994년 2월부터 11월까지 실시하였다. 설치된 3,039개의 트랩 중 1,435개의 트랩에서 한마리 이상의 바퀴가 채집된 Positive Trap Rate(양성 트랩율)은 47.22%였다. 중식 음식점에서의 양성트랩율은 72.67%이었고, 채집된 바퀴의 수가 전 채집개체의 48.84%로 바퀴오염이 가장 심한 빈도를 나타내었다. 그에 비하여 한식 음식점, 아파트, 단독주택, 다방, 여관, 그리고 병원에서는 보다 조금 낮거나 매우 낮은 60.6%, 58.61%, 52.22%, 38.67%, 24.88% 그리고 17.54%로 각각 나타났다. B. germanica는 전 채집개체 수의 97.36%로 가장 높은 밀도를 나타내었으며, 55.01 개체/트랩/주의 평균 밀도를 보였다. 반면, 다른 종인 P. japonica, P. americana와 P. fuliginosa는 이보다 훨씬 낮은 2.35%, 0.14%, 0.14%를 보였다. 7개의 서로 다른 서식처에서 개체군 밀도를 조사해 본 결과 중식 음식점과 한식 음식점에서 20.56과 8.31개체/트랩/주라는 보다 높은 개체군 밀도가 관찰되었다. 그에 비해 아파트, 다방과 단독주택에서는 5.33, 3.79와 3.53 개체/트랩/주의 중간 범위 밀도가 조사되었고, 비교적 낮은 밀도가 병원(0.18 개체/트랩.주)과 여관(1.00 개체/트랩/주)으로 부터 관찰되었다.
