A pictorial key it presented for the identification of adult mosquitoes of 2 sub families of Culicidae, 2 genera of Anophelinae, 38 genera of Culicinae, 22 subgenera of Aedes and 20 subgenera of Ochlerotatus. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) demonstrate the taxonomic characters used in the key.

1998년 9월에 경남 일원에서 채집한 5종의 모기(Anopheles sinensis, Aedes dorsalis, Culex inatomii, Cx. pipiens, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus)의 3령기 유충과 모기천적어류인 미꾸라지(Misgurnus muzolepis) 및 붕어 (Carassius carassius)를 대상으로 Abate 와 Abate-S 의 감수성을 조사하였다. Cx. pipiens pallens에 대한 Abate 와 Abate-S 의 는 모두 0.006ppm이었다. 이들의 는 각각 0.070ppm과 0.035ppm으로 이들에 대한 WHO의 제시사용농도인 1.0ppm에 비하여 매우 높은 감수성을 보였다. Cx. tritaeniorhynchus의 유충에 대한 Abate-S 의 과 는 각각 0.048ppm과 0.808ppm을 보인 반면, Cx. inatomii와 Ae. dorsalis는 Abate-S 에 감수성이 매우 높아서 은 각각 1.9과 1.1ppm이었으며 는 각각 5.2ppm과 1.4ppm이었다. An. sinensis에 대한 Abate-S 0.009ppm였으며 는 0.025ppm이었다. 이 두 살충제는 모기유충에 비하여 미꾸라지와 붕어에 현저히 낮은 독성을 나타내어 미꾸라지에 대한 은 Abate 에서 24.145ppm, Abate-S 에서 10.750ppm이었으며 는 Abate 에서 27.567ppm, Abate-S 에서 14.775ppm이었다. 붕어의 경우에, 은 Abate 에서 7.914ppm 그리고 Abate-S 에서 6.480ppm으로 비교적 안전한 것으로 나타났다. Abate 와 Abate-S 의 붕어에 대한 는 각각 19.898ppm과 8.568ppm으로 모기유충에 비하여 감수성이 매우 낮게 나타났다. 본 실험결과 미꾸라지와 붕어에 안전한 Abate 와 Abate-S 의 최대농도는 모기 유충의 95.0%치사농도의 8배 이상으로 나타나서 다른 수석 무척추동물에 안전하다면 이들 천적어류와 살충제를 동시에 이용한 특정 수역에서 모기의 종합적 방제(Integrated Control)를 수행하는데 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 가능성을 보였다.

Purpose : We will develop the distribution method of wide oil extract technology to develop repellent using this technology and study mosquito repellent persistence. Research design, data and methodology : A positive control group containing purified water, ethanol and picaridin was prepared, and the experimental control group was prepared in the same proportion as the positive control group, and 0.6% of broad oil was added. The results were summarized using the calculation method according to the avoidance effect and statistically tested by t-test using the excel statistics program. Results : Experiments on skin surface area and voice control of participants showed that men had 8.9% wider skin surface area than women, and voice control tests showed that women were bitten by mosquitoes five times more than men. Both the positive and the experimental control groups had a valid duration of up to three hours, but from the time of five hours, the positive control group had 77% and the experimental control had 90%, indicating a difference of 14.4% over the positive control group. Conclusions : The mosquito repellents developed in this study on the basis of safety and continuity are cost-effective in terms of mosquito repellent, and in addition fragrance, odor removal, perfume, ink, skin care and massage effect.

This study was designed to evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the pollutant compositions, which were emitted from three types of mosquito repellents(MRs)(mat-, liquid-vaporized, and coil-type) by utilizing a 50-L environmental chamber. A qualitative analysis revealed that 42 compounds were detected on the gas chromatography/ mass spectrometer system, and that the detection frequency depended upon chemical types. Nine of the 42 compounds exhibited a detection frequency of 100%. Four aromatic compounds(benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylene) were detected in all test MRs. The concentration equilibriums in the environmental chamber were achieved within 180 min after sample introduction. The coil-type MR represented higher chamber concentrations as compared with the mat- or liquid-vaporized-type MR, with respect to the target compounds except for naphthalene. In particular, the chamber concentrations of ethyl benzene, associated with the use of coil-type MR, were between 0.9 and 65 mg m-3, whereas those of mat- and liquid-vaporized-type MRs were between 0.5 and 2.0 mg m-3and 0.3 and 1.4 mg m-3, respectively. However, naphthalene concentrations in the chamber, where a liquid-vaporized-type MR was placed, were measured as between 17.8 and 56.3 mg m-3, but not detected in the chamber, where a mat- or coil-type MR was placed. The empirical model fitted well with the time-series concentrations in the environmental chamber(in most cases, determination coefficient, R2 ≳ 0.9), thereby suggesting that the model was suitable for testing emissions. In regards to the target compounds except for benzene, although they were emitted from the MRs, health risk from individual exposure to them were estimated not to be significant when comparing exposure levels with no observed adverse exposure levels or lowest observed adverse exposure levels of corresponding compounds. However, it was concluded that the use of MRs could be an important indoor source as regards benzene.

Mosquitoes are carriers of malaria and encephalitis. This study performed for eco-friendly control of mosquitos by using genus Acorus. Several solvents were used for the extraction of genus Acorus; water, ethanol, and methanol. Grinded leaves and roots were also included. Acorus extracts killed mosquito larvae and the ethanol extract showed the best result. Autoclaved Acorus water needed long time to kill mosquito larvae. LT50 of 1 % Acorus calamus decoction was 13.6 hrs and 1 % autoclaved Acorus water was 53.6 hrs. LT50 of 0.05% Acorus calamus rhizome powder was 28.5 hrs. LT50 of 0.5% Acorus calamus leaf powder was 10.8 hrs. LT50 of 0.1 % Acorus calamus decoction was 63.4 hrs and 0.1 % Acorus calamus ethanol extracts was 48.6 hrs and 0.1% Acorus calamus methanol extracts was 53.9 hrs. LT50 of 0.4% Acorus gramineus decoction was 45.5 hrs, 0.4% ethanol extracts was 10.9 hrs, 0.4% methanol extracts was 10.2 hrs. LT50 of ethanol extracts was shorter than other extracts. Acorus calamus rhizome powder could be used for the eco-friendly control of the mosquito larvae.
