호박꽃과실파리, Bactrocera scutellata (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae),는 호박 등 박과식물의 해충으로 야외 트랩실험을 통해 호박꽃과실파리 수컷이 cue lure와 raspberry ketone에 유인되는 것이 확인되었으며, 전자현미경 관찰을 통해 호박꽃과실파리의 촉각(antennae)과 작은턱수염(maxillary palps)에 각각 다른 형태의 냄새감각기들이 존재한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 Bactrocera 속 과실파리들의 parapheromone 성분들인 cue lure, raspberry ketone, methyl eugenol, 및 zingerone 등의 물질들이 촉각과 작은턱수염 중 어떤 감각기관에 의해 감지되는지 알아보기 위해 이 물질들과 식물 냄새성분인 3-octanone에 대한 호박꽃과실파리의 eleltroantennogram (EAG) 및 electropalpogram (EPG) 반응을 측정하였다. 그 결과 cue lure 및 raspberry ketone은 작은턱수염에서 큰 EPG 반응을 보였으나 촉각에서는 EAG 반응을 나타내지 않았다. 이와는 대조적으로 호박꽃과실파리의 기주식물인 호박에서 방출되는 냄새 성분 중 하나인 3-octanone은 촉각에서 큰 EAG 반응을 나타내었으나 작은턱수염에서는 아주 작은 EPG 반응만을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 호박꽃과 실파리 수컷에 강한 유인력을 나타내는 cue lure와 raspberry ketone이 촉각이 아니라 작은턱수염에 존재하는 냄새감각세포들에 의해 감지된다는 것을 의미하며 이것은 호박과실파리 등 아직 강력한 유인제가 알려져 있지 않은 다른 과실파리류의 유인제 개발에 유용한 정보가 될 것이다.

In 2017, a total of 82 non-target species representing six orders of insects were captured in four types of tephritid fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) surveillance traps located in Korea; the species included 6 families of Coleoptera, 1 of Dictyoptera, 17 of Diptera, 2 of Hemiptera, 3 of Hymenoptera, 1 of Neuroptera, 4 of Lepidoptera, and 1 of Raphidioptera. Of these, Diptera were the most abundant; the main families included Muscidae, Tephritidae, and Anthomyiidae. Herein, based on a survey, we present a list of the species of non-target insects captured in the tephritid fruit fly surveillance traps.

약 5,000 종 가량의 종다양성을 보이는 과실파리과(Tephritidae)는 농작물에 심각한 피해를 주는 6 속(Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Dacus, Zeugodacus, Anastrepha, Rhagoletis) 해충군을 포함하고 있다. 이들이 비록 아열대 지역에 분포하고 있으나, 기후변화 및 국제교역량 증가로 국내 침입이 빈번하여 지고 이에 대한 한국형 검역 매뉴얼의 개발이 시급하다. 이 매뉴얼은 금지급 과실파리의 동정 기술, 긴급 및 상시 모니터링 기술, 침입 후 확산 지역 및 발생 세대 예측 기술, 그리고 박멸기술을 포함하게 된다. 본 발표는 이 가운데 박멸기술로서 수컷박멸기술(male annihilation technique: MAT), 암컷박멸기술(female annihilation technique: FAT), 그리고 불임충방사기술(sterile insect release technique: SIT)을 소개한다.

국내 호박에 피해를 주는 두 과실파리 해충은 호박과실파리(Bactrocera depressa)와 호박꽃과실파리(B. scutellata)이다. 두 해충의 미성숙 시기는 기주 그리고 땅 속에 존재하여 대기에 노출된 성충 시기가 방제의 대상이 된다. 이들 과실파리 성충을 대상으로 본 연구는 암컷유살제를 개 발하는 연구의 목적을 두었다. 현재 다른 과실파리에 대해서 사용되고 있는 상용 유살제는 이들 호박과실파리류에 대해서 유인력이 낮았다. 본 연구는 단백질 기반에 terpinyl acetate (TA)를 가미하여 유인력을 증가시킨 유살제를 개발하였다. 이 TA-단백질 유살제는 두 종의 호박과실파리 류 모두를 유인하였다. 또한 암수 모두를 유인하지만, 암컷이 수컷에 비해 더 많이(60~70%) 유인되었다. TA-단백질 유살제는 이들 호박과실파 리류의 방제는 물론이고 특이한 유인제가 없는 호박과실파리에 대해서 모니터링 소재로 응용될 수 있다.

Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, is one of the most important quarantine pest worldwide. Fruit flies cause serious damage on orchard, and also can cause quarantine problem to fruit exportation. Recently, because of global warming, there is threats of fruit fly invasion to Korea, especially to Jeju island. So there should be a anticipative research about fruit fly control. Many physical quarantine treatment methods, like heat treatment and low-temperature treatment, are developed to control quarantine pests. Recent researches indicate that low-temperature treatment shows good efficacy on several quarantine pests without phytotoxicity. In this trial, we’ve applied the low-temperature treatment on citrus at laboratory and pilot scale containers to validate efficacy and phytotoxicity. Egg and larvae stage of C. capitata was completely controlled after 5 days and 8 days low-temperature treatment at 0℃ respectively, and there was no phytotoxicity on citrus. These results indicate that the low-temperature treatment can be applied to control fruit fly on citrus fruit.

In the 21st century, the risk of the exotic pest being invaded is increasing due to the rise of trading activities. Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), has been considered to very destructive invader as it is highly intrusive and has a wide host range. In this study, 2,299 samples were collected from 88 locations in 12 countries by quarantine and investigation. Among them, 608 individuals were used for COI DNA barcoding analysis based on Neighbor Joining method with P-distance model. Population genetics analysis was conducted for 510 individuals selected from 47 locations of 12 Southeast Asian countries using 15 microsatellite markers. COI DNA barcoding results showed that B. dorsalis did not support any clade as a geographical isolation but almost indicated mixed populations of each country. Population genetics analysis showed similar pattern of genetic structure between neighboring countries across borders. Most domestic quarantine groups were more similar in genetic structure to Taiwan, China and Thailand in the order of appearance.

과실파리류는 국내 60종의 검역 해충 가운데 42종을 차지하고 있다. 이들 대부분은 자연계 산물인 methyl eugenol (ME) 또는 raspberry ketone에 특이적으로 유인된다. 이들 유인물질을 파라핀 왁스를 이용하여 제형화하였고, 이를 대만에서 야외 유인 효과를 검증하였다. 이들 왁스 제형은 모두 델타트랩에 설치하고 8월 말경에 모니터링 한 결과 ME 왁스 제형은 오리엔탈과실파리(Bactrocera dorsalis)를 매일 60-80 마리 포획하 였다. 반면에 Cuelure 왁스제형은 오이과실파리(Bactrocera cucurbitae)와 B. tau를 유인하였다. 이러한 결과는 본 왁스제형이 이들 검역 해충에 대 한 국내 모니터링에 응용될 수 있다는 것을 제시하고 있다.

The objectives of this study are to examine the genetic variation and the origin elucidation in oriental fruit flies (Diptera:Tephritidae) using DNA barcode, in prepartion for their future introductions into Korea. About 1,600 specimens of B.dorsalis sp. complex and B. correcta were collected from 10 countries, the Indochina peninsula, the Philippines, Taiwanand South China. A total of 182 cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences were obtained and aligned from these regionalspecimens. Three chinese sequences from the GenBank reference were also included. Six hundreds base pair fragmentswere aligned and trimmed and used for a barcode. The phylogenetic tree was generated using the neighbor-joining methodwith 1,000 bootstrap replicates. There were two distinct groups in the phylogenetic tree, Bactrocera dorsalis sp. complexand B. correcta. Three specimen, intercepted in the hand-carried mango at the airport inspection and collected in the confiscatedmango, smuggled from Vietnam were included for a test. The DNA sequences from the airport were 100% identical toone of various Vietnam specimens, and that from the confiscated mango was mostly similar to those of Vietnam, suggestingthe usefulness of the barcode for elucidating the origin of oriental fruit fly.

Bactrocera zonata (Peach fruit flies) is a polyphagous fruit pest native to South and South-East area and now foundin more than 20 countries. This species is not only a serious pest of peach but also is capable of infesting various speciesof 14 plant families. In Korea, they are potential pests of a number of economically important crops including peach,apricot, apple, and even Citrus spp. In northern India, B. zonata is currently considered to be more important fruit pestthan the notorious oriental fruit flies (B. dorsalis). Due to the high risk of potential introduction to southern part of Korea,we put together a national action plan against the peach fruit fly in order to quickly and completely suppress invadingpopulation of this pest species.

오리엔탈과실파리(Bactrocera dorsalis)는 주요 검역 대상으로 지정된 해충이다. 이 해충에 대한 고감도 모니터링과 진단 기술이 초기 방역 처리에 요구된다. 본 연구는 오리엔탈과실파리를 유인하여 치사시킬 목적으로 메틸유제놀과 생물농약을 혼합한 왁스형 방출기를 제작하였다. 본 연구는 또한 5종의 주요 검역 과실파리(오리엔탈과실파리, 오이과실파리, 퀸즐랜드과실파리, 말레이시아과실파리, 지중해과실파리)에 대한 PCR 진단프라이머를 개발하였다. 이상의 모니터링용 왁스방출기과 분자진단기술을 말레이시아 코타키나발루 지역에서 실증 시험하였다.

Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is one of the serious pests of fruit throughout the world. Two regional populations (Bangladeshi and Malaysia) were collected using methyl eugenol lure and one laboratory population was obtained from Thailand. Three populations were compared in cytochrome b (CYB) cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences. COI sequences were highly homologous. However, CYB sequences were polymorphic and used to discriminate these regional populations by a phylogenetic analysis. In CYB phylogeny analysis, Malaysia and Thailand populations were clustered and Bangladeshi population was separated

The objectives of this study are to examine the genetic variation in oriental fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) and to use it as a barcode for the origin elucidation, in preparation for the their incursions into Korea.

In many insects, female receives a large amount of sperm and ejaculates upon copulation, and keeps them in her uterus for some time, during which she stores sperm. After varying delays, the female removes unused sperm and ejaculates through sperm ejection behavior, which is known as a major mechanism for the post-copulatory sexual selection. In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, timing of sperm ejection behavior is controlled by the diuretic hormone 44 (Dh44) pathway. To identify pathways that regulate Dh44 activities and sperm ejection, here we examine effects of olfactory cues. We will present our recent results suggesting that male odors can be one of upstream signaling pathway that modulates a brain neuropeptide pathway.

호박꽃과실파리(Bactrocera scutellata)는 호박꽃을 가해하는 해충이다. 이들 수컷은 식물체 유래물질인 raspberry ketone (RK)에 유인되 어 섭식하는 습성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구는 이 해충의 방제를 위해 수컷박멸기술(male annihilation technique: MAT)을 개발하는 데 목표를 두고 이를 위한 기반 기술을 탐색하였다. 효과적 유인 물질이 실내 및 실외 실험을 통해 비교되었다. 일반적으로 과실파리류에 유인효과가 높은 methyl eugenol에 호박꽃과실파리 암수는 모두 반응하였으나 야외에서는 전혀 유인효과가 나타나지 않았다. RK의 합성 유도체인 cuelure (CL)에 호박꽃과실파리 수컷은 실내 및 야외조건에서 모두 높은 유인효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 본 연구에서 지향하는 왁스형 방출기 조건에서 RK가 CL에 비해 동등하거나 우수한 유인효과를 보였다. MAT를 구성하는 데 유인 물질과 함께 포함될 살충제를 피레스로이드 살충제로 선발 하였다. 또한 MAT 처리 후 치사된 개체의 확인과 계수를 위해 깔때기형 트랩을 선발하였다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 본 연구는 호박꽃과실파리 의 MAT 기술은 RK과 비펜스린을 담은 왁스형 방출기로 결정하고 이를 깔때기트랩에 설치하도록 구성하였다. 이러한 기본 조건은 추후 현장 적 용할 MAT 기술 개발에 기반 정보로 이용될 수 있다.

Electrophysiological responses of Queensland fruit fly, Bacterocera tryoni, were investigated to identify the olfactory receptor neurons (ORN) in the antennae and corresponding active volatile compounds, using the single sensillum recording technique and 52 test compounds including methyl methyl eugenol, cuelure and raspberry ketone. We found that different classes of olfactory sensilla and ORNs are present in the antennae of B. tryoni. Most of the ORNs appeared to have narrow response spectra, exhibiting specialized responses to one or a few volatile compounds among the 52 compounds tested. In this study, ORNs specialized for ammonia, nonanal, isopentanol, ethyl acetate, indole, phenol, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2-coumaranone, respectively, have been identified. A class of ORNs exhibited highly specialized responses to methyl eugenol. A preliminary field trapping test conducted in New Caledonia to evaluate the behavioral activities of the olfactory active compounds indicated a blend of three synthetic compounds is attractive to female B. tryoni.

For building up the Tephritid Tree of Life, we have so far accumulated fresh samples of 570 species of 220 tephritid genera, covering 11% and 44% of World species and genera, respectively. Based on the molecular systematics approach, the followings are examples of our findings: (1) two monophyletic groups within the superfamily Tephritoidea were clearly recognized (compatible with Willi Hennig’s Pallopteroidea and Otitoidea that are not currently used); (2) expanded concept of the family Tephritidae including parasitic taxa (Tachiniscinae, Ctenostylidae and Pyrgotidae); (3) reconfirmation of monophyletic Trypetini, Carpomyini, Tephritinae, and Dacinae; and (4) the first Tephritoidea might have evolved around the middle of Paleocene Epoch (~59 mya) and the family Tephritidae around the late Eocene (~36 mya).

The experiments were conducted from April, 2010 to July, 2011 to explore the species richness of fruit fly and to observe the incidence of Bactrocera species by using Methyl Eugenol trap. In the first experiment, 11 species such as Bactrocera arecae, B. carambolae, B. dorsali, B. kandiensis, B. latilineola, B. malaysiensis, B. neocognata, B. raiensis, B. verbascifoliae, B. correcta and Carpomya pardalina were recorded. All species except Carpomya pardalina were observed in mango. Eight species in guava and five species in jujube were recorded. Bactrocera dorsalis was found to be the most abundant in mango and guava, and B. correcta in jujube. During the second experimental period, the experimental area can be recorded as an infested area because index of fruit fly population captured in traps, FTD (flies/trap/day), was seven. The highest population (437 flies/trap/week) was observed on May 26 in mango orchard. The number of fruit flies was observed to be significant positive correlation with weekly rainfall (R2 = 0.67 in mango, R2 = 0. 34 in guava and R2 = 0.43 in jujube) and relative humidity (R2 = 0.65 in mango), and negative correlation with mean temperature (R2 = 0.72 in mango) and sunshine hour (R2 = 0.61 in mango and R2 = 0.33 in jujube).

호박꽃과실파리(Bactrocera scutellata Hendel)의 성충 수명과 산란수를 7개 온도(15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 ± 1.0℃, RH 65 ± 5%, 14L: 10D)에서 조사하여 생명표를 작성하였다. 온도별 성충수명은 21℃에서 수컷이 138.0일 암컷이 131.2일로 가장 오래 살았으며, 21℃를 기준으로 저온부와 고온부로 갈수록 수명이 급격히 감소하였다. 온도별 암컷은 18℃이하의 온도에서 산란을 하지 않았으며, 33℃에서는 짝짓기가 가능한 시기까지 살지 못하고 모두 사망하였다. 짝짓기한 암컷의 총 산란수는 111.4개, 일일 산란수는 1.0개로 24℃에서 가장 많은 산란수를 보였고 순증가율(Ro)은 21℃에서 52.27로 가장 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 내적자연증가율(rm)은 27℃에서 0.07을 보였으며, 배수기간(λ)은 27℃에서 10.02로 가장 짧았다. 기간증가율(Dt)은 27℃에서 1.07로 가장 큰 값을 보였고, 평균세대기간(T)은 27℃에서 50.39였다.

 ,  , The striped fruit fly, Bactrocera scutellata, damages pumpkin and other cucurbitaceous plants. The developmental period of each stage was measured at seven constant temperatures (15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, and 33±1.0℃). The developmental time of eggs ranged from 4.2 days at 15℃ to 0.9 days at 33℃. The developmental period of larvae was 4.2 days at 15℃, and slowed in temperatures above 27℃. The developmental period of pupa was 21.5 days at 15℃ and 7.6 days at 33℃. The mortality of eggs was 17.1% at 15℃ and 22.9% at 33℃, Larval mortalities (1st, 2nd, 3rd) were 24.1, 27.3 and 18.2%, respectively, at 15℃, Pupal mortalities were 18.2% at 15℃ and 23.1% at 33℃. The relationship between developmental rate and temperature fit both a linear model and a nonlinear model. The lower threshold temperatures of eggs, larvae, and pupae were 12.5, 10.7, and 6.3℃, respectively, and threshold temperature of the total immature period was 8.5℃. The thermal constants required to complete the egg, larval, and pupal stages were 33.2, 118.3, and 181.2DD, respectively. The distribution of each development stages was described by a 3-parameter Weibull function.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a fatal disorder wherein patients suffer from sensory, motor, and cognitive loss. Currently, the identification and validation of biomarkers for diagnosing AD and other forms of dementia are increasingly important. Olfactory dysfunction is present in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Alzheimer’s patients show neuropathological changes in areas of the brain central to the olfactory processing center, suggesting the theoretical importance and potential diagnostic utility of investigating functional changes in olfaction in these patients. However, the usefulness of olfactory screens to serve as informative indicators of Alzheimer’s is precluded by the lack of knowledge regarding neural and molecular mechanisms underlying olfactory dysfunction onto Alzheimer's diseases. To test these ultimate questions, we used molecular and electrophysiological recording techniques to find out the difference of olfactory responses and AD related protein expression patterns by using fly model, Drosophila melanogaster that over-expresses the human β -amyloid, tau protein. We postulated that such flies would present with progressive olfactory impairments compared with age-matched wild type control flies. In this study, our hypothesis is that there is a correlation between olfactory deficits and the spatial expression pattern of β-amyloid and tau protein deposition. Therefore, we demonstrate a specific concentration of lesions in central olfactory structures such as antenna and Maxillary palps. Our study indicates that deficits on olfactory identification may occur in AD, which will be valuable as an indicator of neuropathogenesis.
