The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is one of the most important pest species devastating many horticultural and ornamental crops and fruit trees. In the present study, a field strain was collected in January 2001 and has been selected for sixteen years with acequinocyl. The resistance ratio calculated from the LC50 of eggs and adults was 191- and 4,237-fold, respectively. The laboratory-selected acequinocyl resistance (LSAR16) strain was screened with 11 acaricides for cross-resistance. The detoxifying enzyme activities and quantitative real-time PCR analysis were performed in the LSAR16 strain. Crossing experiments revealed that LSAR16 strain was inherited maternally, incompletely dominant and monogenic. Most importantly, we identified two new point-mutations at mitochondrial cytb from acequinocyl resistant T. urticae.

Imported 313 cases of Dengue fever and 16 cases of Zika virus disease were reported in the ROK during 2016. Aedesalbopictus has been reported as a major vector mosquito for Dengue and Zika virus. Various class of pesticides havebeen used locally different pesticide class. To investigate the pyrethroid and organophosphate pesticide resistance, genomicDNA was used for Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) genotyping of the acethylcholine esterase to detect Gly119Ser mutationsand kdr gene to detect Phe1534Cys mutations. Detoxification enzyme activities were assessed using Ae. albopictus fromYeosu and Jeju. Activities of four detoxification enzymes eg., glutathione S-transferase (GST), Non specific esterases (α-naphthylacetate and β-naphthyl acetate), and cytochrome C oxidase were determined for each Ae. albopictus strain. In our studies,Ae. albopictus showed only susceptible sequences for AchE and kdr. Activity of cytochrome P-450 and non specific esterasewas higher in a field population than a laboratory strain, except for GST. This study might be helpful to understandthe insecticidal susceptibility and resistant for effective vector mosquito control program.

Aedes albopictus is an important vector for yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya fever and Zika virus. This mosquitohas been exposed to organophosphates and pyrethroids in Republic of Korea for a long time. Using the direct contactmortality bioassay, susceptibility strain and two field populations of Ae. albopictus from Busan, and Damyang. Insecticidalproperty were indicated to RR ratio values (Resistant ratio to strain of susceptibility) of LC50 (Midian Lethal concentration)to organophosphats and pyrethroids. Genomic DNA was used for Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) genotyping of the acethylcholineesterase to detect Gly119Ser mutations and kdr gene to detect Phe1534Cys mutations. Detoxification enzyme activitiesof Ae. albopictus from Busan and Damyang were assessed using microplate enzyme activity assays. Activities of fourdetoxification enzymes eg., glutathione S-transferase(GST), Non specific esterases (α-naphthyl acetate and β-naphthyl acetate),and cytochrome C oxidase were determined for each Ae. albopictus strain. This study might suggest that Ae. albopictuscontrol programs should be prepared for the management of organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticide resistance.

The activities of three class, five acaricides (Permethrin, Deltamethrin, Fenitrothion, Chlorpyrifos, Imidacloprid) againstHaemaphysalis longicornis nymph, a major vector for Severe Fever with Thrombo cytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) and Lymedisease. The ticks distribute at vast open fields and various kind of habitats. Five acaricides were applied to ticks collectedform four areas(Gapyeong, Paju, Chuncheon, Wonju) to confirm the effect of acaricide. This areas was the area whereSFTS disease occurred and a large nember of ticks were collected. As a result, All areas is the most acaricidal effectto Deltamethrin. And two areas(Gapyeong, Paju) has the lowest acaricidal effect to Imidacloprid and two area(Chuncheon,Wonju) has the lowest acaricidal effect to Permethrin. Futher study will need to compare the acaricidal efficacy of theremaining seven province.

본 연구는 짐 쉐리단의 영화 『아버지의 이름으로‏‎』를 중심으로 아일랜드 와 영국 간의 갈등관계와 영국의 의도된 조작으로 인해 아일랜드인이 어떻게 테러리 스트로 낙인찍혔는지에 대한 과정을 살펴본다. 쉐리단은 ‘길포드 4인’ 사건으로 알려 진 실화사건을 형상화 함으로써 영국정부가 아일랜드인을 테러리스트로 동일시하거나, 심지어 테러 사건과 무관한 평범한 아일랜드인까지 테러리스트로 조작한 불합리한 상 황을 전달한다. 달리 말해, 이 영화는 테러리스트로 누명을 쓴 ‘게리 콘론’의 이야기를 다룸으로써 영국이 아일랜드를 억압한 역사뿐만 아니라 테러리즘의 양가적 의미 역시 상기시키고 있다.

Anopheles sinensis is an important vector for Plasmodium vivax and thus has been targeted with organophosphates 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 organophosphats with RR ratio values (Resistant ratio to imidacloprid) of 446.9 to 756.3 folds and 502.1 to 861.7 folds, respectively. Genomic DNA was used for Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) genotyping of the acethylcholine esterase to detect Gly119Ser mutations. The homozygous susceptible Ser/Ser genotype in Paju-si and Yeoncheon-gun was 20.0% and 20.9% and the resistance genotypes were 80.0% and 79.1%, respectively. The homozygous Gly/Ser resistance genotype was the most prevalent as 60.7% in Paju-si and 41.9% in Yeoncheon-gun. Hence, this study suggests that malaria vector control programs should be prepared for the management of organophosphate insecticide resistance.

We performed a survey for flavivirus infection and distribution of Aedes albopictus that known as Zika and Dengue virus vector using black–light trap and BG-sentinel trap around urban area in Korea. Mosquitoes were collected in 27 cities during March to November (twice a month) year 2016. Total numbers of mosquitoes collected 102,102 including 19 species 8 genera during collecting period. Total 21,467 Ae. albopictus was collected that 20,961(24.3%) by BG-sentinel trap and 506 (3.2%) by Black-light trap in urban area. Trap index(trap/night) of Ae. albopictus was showed highest in Hamyang (TI:992.3) and lowest in Taebaek (TI:0.3) there was only collected by Black-light trap. A total of 894 pools from all collecting Ae. albopictus were performed a Flavivirus detection. Flavivirus was not detected during study period. This study may provide basic information for surveillance of imported diseases (include Zika virus) and vectors in Korea.

본 연구에서는 써멀 마네킹 실험을 통해서 탄화지르코늄(ZrC) 혼입사로 만들어진 니트와 직물 의류의 발열 특성을 연구하였다. 써멀 마네킹 측정에 의한 감성 및 인지기능 열적특성이 분석되었으며 광발열 실험결과와 비교하였 다. ZrC 혼입 직․편물의 표면온도는 일반 PET 직․편물 보다 각각 4℃와 2℃ 높은 값을 보였다. 그리고 이들 직․ 편물 의류의 광조사상태에서 써멀 마네킹 실험에 의한 발열특성을 나타내는 보온성 Clo치는 각각 0.18과 0.08 높은 값을 보였다. 이 결과는 이성분 필라멘트의 심사부에 혼입된 ZrC에서 방사된 원적외선에 기인 된 것을 6μm~20μm범 위의 원적외선 방사강도 결과와 EDS 원소분석에 의해 확인함으로써 가능하였다. 그리고 ZrC 혼입에 의해 직물의 압 축성이 낮아지고 굽힘강성이 높은 값을 보임으로써 촉감 특성은 다소 부족함을 보였다. 그러나 ZrC혼입 직․편물의 발열특성 발현을 써멀 마네킹 측정에 의해 확인함으로써 인텔리전트 의류로서의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

4종 해충(복숭아혹진딧물, 점박이응애, 아메리카잎굴파리, 대만총채벌레)에 이온화에너지인 전자빔과 X-ray를 각각 조사하여 이들 해충 의 발육과 생식에 미치는 영향을 비교하여 억제선량을 결정하였다. 복숭아혹진딧물 약충에 전자빔과 X-ray 조사 시, 전자빔의 경우에는 100 Gy, X-ray의 경우에는 30 Gy에서 우화성충의 산자가 완전히 억제되었다. 복숭아혹진딧물 성충의 경우 200 Gy (전자빔)와 50 Gy (X-ray)에서 각각 F1 세대 약충의 우화가 억제되었다. 그러나 이들 두 이온화에너지 모두 성충수명에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 점박이응애의 알에서는 전자빔 150 Gy와 X-ray 50 Gy 선량에서 알의 부화가 완전히 억제되었다. 아메리카잎굴파리 번데기에서는 X-ray 조사선량이 증가할수록 우화율이 감소하 였다. 대만총채벌레 성충에 조사 시 전자빔의 250 Gy와 X-ray의 200 Gy 선량에서 F1 세대 알의 부화가 완전히 억제되었다.

The two spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is a global pest, and has developed severe resistance to several types of acaricides. Acequinocyl-resistant strain and bifenazate-resistant strain of T. urticae showed higher relative activity level of glutathion-S-transferases (GSTs) than susceptible strain. Studies of resistance in T. urticae have focused on classical detoxifying enzyme system, such as GSTs. We examined the expression of six GSTs genes in T. urticae belong to five different cytosolic classes, including two in delta, one in omega, one in mu, one in zeta, and one mitochondrial GSTs class, kappa. RT-qPCR results showed that, among these six GSTs genes, the relative expression level of delta 1 was significantly higher in bifenazate-resistant strain than in other strains (susceptible, abamectin, acequinocyl, etoxazole and pyridaben strain). Expression level of the delta 2 was also higher in acequinocyl-resistant strain than in other strains. The elevated GSTs gene transcripts following exposure to acequinocyl, bifenazate might be one of the mechanisms involved in detoxification of these acaricide. These results may be caused by different mechanisms in the resistance development of T. urticae to these two different types of acaricides.

A major concern in exporting agricultural commodities is the introduction or spread of exotic quarantine pests to the new area. To prevent spread of insect pests, various phytosanitary measures are used. In this study, we compared the effect of electron beam and X-ray irradiation on development and reproduction of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae. Eggs, nymphs, and adults were irradiated at target doses of 50, 70, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 Gy with electron beam and 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100, 150, and 200 with X-ray irradiation. When eggs were irradiated, egg hatching was completely inhibited at 150 Gy of electron beam and 50 Gy of X-ray irradiation. When irradiated to the nymphs, emergence was not affected at all target dose in both electron beam and X-ray irradiation. Hatchability of F1 generation was significantly decreased at 100 Gy of electron beam and 70 Gy of X-ray irradiation. When irradiated to the adults, longevity did not show any differences at all target dose in both electron beam and X-ray irradiation. These results suggest that the effect of X-ray irradiation was more potential than electron beam irradiation.
