Since COVID-19, the number of people in need of physical and mental rest has increased, and activities that suit individuals' tastes are being conducted outdoors rather than indoors, and various studies on healing agricultural programs are being conducted. In this study, agricultural healing, animal-mediated healing, and horticultural healing programs were set as independent variables to find out the satisfaction and revisit intention of the healing agricultural program. 141 questionnaires were received from churches and office workers in Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and used for empirical analysis. As a result of the analysis, first, touching animals was the best in animal healing, high, and crop processing experience was the best in agricultural healing, and gardening was the best in horticultural healing. According to the usage status, the cost was in the order of cost, program content, and value, and the cost was 30,000 won to 40,000 won (5 hours as of the 1st), which was the most preferred to participate in the agricultural healing program, and satisfaction and revisit intention were high. In the future, agricultural healing programs will be needed to further develop various and valuable programs and improve awareness levels.
Anopheles sinensis is an important vector for Plasmodium vivax and thus has been targeted with pyrethroids in Republic of Korea. Using the direct contact mortality bioassay, two field populations of An. sinensis from Paju-si and Yeoncheon-gun were characterized for their resistance to pyrethroids with RR ratio values (Resistant ratio to imidacloprid) of 96.8 to 167.2 folds and 34.2 to 98.4 folds, respectively. Genomic DNA was used for Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) genotyping of the sodium channel genes to detect L1014S mutations. The homozygous susceptible Leu/Leu genotype in Paju-si and Yeoncheon-gun was 3.3% and 37.1% and the resistance genotypes were 96.7% and 62.9%, respectively. The homozygous Phe/Phe resistance genotype was the most prevalent as 45.0% in Paju-si and 31.5% in Yeoncheon-gun. Hence, this study suggests that malaria vector control programs should be prepared for the management of pyrethroid insecticide resistance.
