원예용 병해충 방제약제로 등록되어 있는 79종과 농약보조제 4종의 농약에 대하여 콜레마니진디벌 (Aphidius colemani) 성충에 대한 독성을 조사한 결과, $\alpha$-cypermeth.in 외 5종의 살충제와, metalaxyl-M+mancozeb 외 12종의 살균제, bifenazate외 3종의 살비제가 독성이 낮았다. 그리고 농약보조제는 모두 낮은 독성을 보였다. 50%이상의 살충률을 보였던 40종의 약제에 대하여 잔류독성 평가를 수행한 결과, 11종의 약제가 처리 3일 이후에 콜레마니진디벌 성충에 안전하였고, 5일 이후에는 7종,그리고 처리 7일 이후에는 14종에 대하여 낮은 독성을 나타냈다. 그러나 chlorpyrifos-methyl, diflubenzuron+chlorpyrifos, etofenprox+diazinone, imidachloprid+chlorpyrifos 4종에 대해서는 7일차 이후에도 각각 100%, 97.7%, 100%, 100%의 높은 살충율을 보였다. 온실에서 콜레마니진디벌에 의한 복숭아혹진딧물의 방레효과를 조사하기 위하여, 복숭아혹진딧물의 밀도가 주당 50마리 일 때, 콜레마니진디벌을 50:1과 100:1의 비율로 방사하였다. 방사 후 진딧물 밀도가 크게 증가하지 않고, 20일차까지 지속적으로 60마리 수준으로 유지되었다. 조사기간 동안 흰가루병과 총채벌레 방제약제를 함께 처리하였으나, 콜레마니진디벌의 머미(mummy)형성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 시설원예에서 콜레마니진디벌에 안전한 선택약제와 콜레마니진디벌을 함께 이용할 경우 효과적인 진딧물 방제가 가능할 것이다.

In a paleo-parasitological analysis of soil samples obtained from V-shaped pits dating to the ancient Baekje period in Korean history, we discovered Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Clonorchis sinensis eggs. In light of the samples' seriously contaminated state, the V-shaped pits might have served as toilets, cesspits, or dung heaps. For a long period of time, researchers scouring archaeological sites in Korea have had difficulties locating such structures. In this context then, the present report is unique because similar kind of the ancient ruins must become an ideal resource for successful sampling in our forthcoming paleoparasitological studies.

A paleoparasitological survey to detect helminth eggs was performed in archaeological sites of Jeolla-do and Jeju-do, the Republic of Korea. Total 593 soil samples were collected in 12 sites of Jeolla-do and 5 sites of Jeju-do from April to November 2011, and examined by the methods of Pike and coworkers. A total of 4 helminth eggs, 2 eggs each for Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris sp., were found in soil samples from 1 site, in Hyangyang-ri, Jangheung-eup, Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do. The egg-recovery layer was presumed to represent a 19th century farm, which fact suggested the use of human manures. This is the third archaeological discovery of parasite eggs in Jeolla-do. Additionally, no helminth eggs in archaeological sites of Jeju-do is an interesting problem to be solved in the further investigations.

Paleoparasitology is the application of conventional or molecular investigative techniques to archeological samples in order to reveal parasitic infection patterns among past populations. Although pioneering studies already have reported key paleoparasitological findings around the world, the same sorts of studies had not, until very recently, been conducted in sufficient numbers in Korea. Mummified remains of individuals dating to the Korean Joseon Dynasty actually have proved very meaningful to concerned researchers, owing particularly to their superb preservation status, which makes them ideal subjects for paleoparasitological studies. Over the past several years, our study series on Korean mummies has yielded very pertinent data on parasitic infection patterns prevailing among certain Joseon Dynasty populations. In this short review, we summarized the findings and achievements of our recent paleoparasitological examinations of Joseon mummies and discussed about the prospects for future research in this vein.

Pseudoterranova decipiens larva is a rare cause of anisakiasis. Indeed, prior to the present study, there had been only 12 reports of larval P. decipiens infection in the Republic of Korea. In June 2011, an anisakid larva, 32.1 mm in length and 0.88 mm in width, and finally identified as the third stage larva of P. decipiens owing to the presence of an intestinal cecum but lacking ventricular appendage, was discovered in a 61-year-old woman during the course of endoscopy executed as a part of routine physical examinations. The patient had eaten raw a rockfish 13 hr prior to the endoscopy, but showed no symptoms of anisakiasis. This paper is the 13th report of P. decipiens infection in Korea.

Whilst archaeological evidence for many aspects of life in ancient China is well studied, there has been much less interest in ancient infectious diseases, such as intestinal parasites in past Chinese populations. Here, we bring together evidence from mummies, ancient latrines, and pelvic soil from burials, dating from the Neolithic Period to the Qing Dynasty, in order to better understand the health of the past inhabitants of China and the diseases endemic in the region. Seven species of intestinal parasite have been identified, namely roundworm, whipworm, Chinese liver fluke, oriental schistosome, pinworm, Taenia sp. tapeworm, and the intestinal fluke Fasciolopsis buski. It was found that in the past, roundworm, whipworm, and Chinese liver fluke appear to have been much more common than the other species. While roundworm and whipworm remained common into the late 20th century, Chinese liver fluke seems to have undergone a marked decline in its prevalence over time. The iconic transport route known as the Silk Road has been shown to have acted as a vector for the transmission of ancient diseases, highlighted by the discovery of Chinese liver fluke in a 2,000 year-old relay station in northwest China, 1,500 km outside its endemic range.

As we learn more about parasites in ancient civilizations, data becomes available that can be used to see how infection may change over time. The aim of this study is to assess how common certain intestinal parasites were in China and Korea in the past 2000 years, and make comparisons with prevalence data from the 20th century. This allows us to go on to investigate how and why changes in parasite prevalence may have occurred at different times. Here we show that Chinese liver fluke (Clonorchis sinensis) dropped markedly in prevalence in both Korea and China earlier than did roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides) and whipworm (Trichuris trichiura). We use historical evidence to determine why this was the case, exploring the role of developing sanitation infrastructure, changing use of human feces as crop fertilizer, development of chemical fertilizers, snail control programs, changing dietary preferences, and governmental public health campaigns during the 20th century.

Parasite infection rates estimated by examining ancient coprolites can provide insights into parasitism in Joseon society. Using newly discovered Joseon period cases is essential to regularly update the parasite infection rates and reinforce the reliability of our previous estimations. In the present study, we investigated parasite infections in Joseon coprolites newly isolated from the cities of Euijeongbu, Gumi, and Wonju. We then updated the overall parasite infection rates of Joseon period samples (n= 30) as follows: 86.7% (26/30) for Trichuris trichiura, 56.7% (17/30) for Ascaris lumbricoides, 30.0% (9/30) for Clonorchis sinensis, and 30.0% (9/30) for Paragonimus westermani. The parasite infection rates in the Joseon society, estimated through coprolite examination, were very similar to those determined previously despite the addition of new cases to the existing data pool.

1987년 5월부터 9월 사이에 대전근교의 콩에 기생하고 있는 콩진딧물에서 진디벌에 기생당한 mu-mmy를 채집하여 진디벌과 중기생벌에 관한 생물학적 연구를 수행하였다. 진딧물의 진디벌에 대한 기생율, 진디벌과 중기생벌의 기주선택, mummy형성수와 형성 비율, 주요 진디벌과 중기생벌 종의 수명 등을 조사한 결과는 아래와 같다. 177개의 채집된 진딧물 mummy 중 진디벌은 27.1%m 중기생벌은 50.3%였다. Aphidius cingulatus, Ephedrus persicae, E. plagiator가 콩진딧물에 기생하고 있는 진디벌의 주요 종으로 나타났다. 그리고 이들 진디벌에 기생하고 있는 중기생벌들 중에 A. vulgaris, A. convexa가 우점으로 나타났다. 이들 중기생벌중 Charios brasicae는 한국 미기록종이었다. E.plagiator가 다른 콩진딧물에 기생하는 진디벌에 비해 중기생벌에 적게 기생되었다. 기생능력은 A. cingulatus 보다 E. plagiator가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 진디벌과 중기생벌의 수명은 중기생벌이 3일~29일, 진디벌은 1일~4일로 추정되었다.

회곽의 구조를 가진 충청북도 보은의 유인서 부처 묘와 옥천의 무연고 분묘에서 출토된 수침 복식에 부착되어 있는 회백색 오염물질에 대한 적외선 분광 분석을 통해, 미라의 회백색 물질과 동일 성분인 지방산의 칼슘염이 주성분이며 지방산, 지방, 단백질이 소량 함유된, 사체의 지방이 분해되어 생성된 시랍으로 판명되었다. 또 시랍의 주성분이 지방산의 칼습염인 것은 사체의 뼈나 회곽의 성분인 석회와의 관련성이 있음을 알 수 있다. 그리고 지방산 분석을 통해 사체의 시랍에서 볼 수 있는 10-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid 및 10-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid가 확인되었고 지방산의 함량 분포패턴도 Palmitic acid와 같은 포화지방산의 함량은 높고, Oleic acid와 같은 불포화지방산의 함량이 낮은 시랍과 유사한 패턴을 보이고 있다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 보아 옥천과 보은에서 출토된 복식 표면의 회백색 물질은 미라로부터 이동된 시랍이라는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.
