In this study, antibody responses after vaccination against equine influenza were investigated among 1,591 horses in the Republic of Korea using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. Equine influenza has not occurred since 2011 and a commercial vaccine against H3N8 has been used. The equine influenza virus, A/equine/South Africa/4/03 (H3N8), was used as the antigen in the HI assay. The mean seropositive rate was 90.5% in 2019. Except for stallion whose seropositive rate was 78.5%, all seropositive rates of other horse types were over 90%. Regionally, except for Gangwon-do and Jeju-do whose seropositive rates were 89.0% and 87.1%, all seropositive rates in other provinces were over 90%. In the future, more through vaccination against equine influenza needs to be done based on this investigation result.

Density of malaria vector mosquito was monitored at 24 sites in Korea to estimate malaria epidemic from 2004 to 2009. Twenty four locations include six in Gwangwon province and nine in Kyonggi province and nine in Incheon metropolitan city. Mosquitoes collected by public health centers in 24 sites were sent to each RIPHE(Research Institute of Public Health & Environment) then the RIPHE identified the malaria vector mosquitoes. KCDC analysed the results. Number of malaria vector mosquito collected in 2009 shapely decreased over 33 % when compared with number of mosquito collected from 2004 to 2009. In 2009, malaria vector mosquitoes firstly were collected at Injegun on 2nd week of April (6-13, April) and the highest peak of collected mosquito was demonstrated on 3rd week of August. Number of collected mosquito sharply decreased below 10 at 3rd week of september and None of mosquito was collected 2nd week October. Decrease of number of malaria vector mosquito collected in 2009 seem to be related with lowest temperature around midnight and precipitation days per month.

5.0% micro-capsuled fenitrothion, 2.0% hydramethylnon, 또는 0.8% chlorpyrifos가 주요 활성 물질인 독먹이 제제의 방제효과를 알아보기 위하여 바퀴, Bfattella germanica (L)가 번식하고 있는 15개의 식당에서 8주동안 야외실험을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 바퀴 성충에 대한 방제효과는 mIcro-capsuled fenitrothion 제제 (평균 82.8%)가 chlorpyrifos 제제 (평균 68.4%)보다 유의성 있게 높았으나 hydramethylnon 제제 (평균 86.1%)와는 거의 같은 효과를 보였다. 또한, 바퀴 자충에 대한 방제효과는 3가지 독먹이 제제가 거의 같은 유효성(평균 74.9- 82.8%)을 나타내였다. 독먹이 소모량을 조사한 결과, 8주 동안에 서식 바퀴에 의한 micro-capsuled fenitrothion 제제의 소모량은 0.11 g으로, 평균 90% 이상 남아 있었으나, hydramethylnon 제제는 바퀴에 의한 소비량(O.72g)이 현격하게 많아서 잔여량이 평균 57%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 hydramethylnon의 살충 기작의 특성, 유인먹이의 재료, 서식 바퀴의 밀도와 관계가 있는 것으로 추정되었다.
