문형남,홍성태,이순형,Mun, Hyeong-Nam,Hong, Seong-Tae,Lee, Sun-Hyeong 대한기생충학회 1995 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.33 No.2

정상 한국 어린이의 폐포자충(hewowstiscwinii)에 대한 항체보유 양상을 파악하기 위하여 횐쥐 폐포자충의 조항원을 전기영동(SDS-PAGE)하고 면역이적(Western blot)을 시행하여 각 항원 분획에 반응하는 정상 한국 어린이 혈청에서의 IgG 항체 반응을 관찰하였다 전기영동으로 분리한 수용성 항원의 단백질 분획은 20-200 kDa 범위에서 20개 정도가 관찰되었다. 이들 분획 중에서 신생아의 혈청 15개와 정상 어린이 혈청 130개 합계 145개를 면역이적법으로 검사한 결과 40-55와 116 kDa 분획과 반응하였으나 미국 양성 표준혈청이 반응한 100 kDa 분획과는 반응하지 않았다 이 중에서 40-55와 116 kDa 하나 또는 두 분획에 대한 항체 양성률은 총 40.0%이었 고. 성별 구분이 가능한 남자 50명과 여자 48명에서 각각 56%와 33.3%의 양성률을 얻었다. 이 결과로 우리 나라에서 정상 어린이가 흰쥐 폐포자충 조항원 중 40-55와 116 kDa 분획과 반응하는 항체를 혈청 내에 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. Soluble protein of purified Pneumocvstis cnrinii was prepared from experimentally infected rats. SDS-PAGE of the crude antigen resolved about 20 protein bands from 20 to 200 kDa. Out of thenl, 116 kDa band strongly reacted and 45-55 and 100 kDa bands reacted weakly to the positive reference human serum from U.S.A. Western blot analysis with sera of 130 normal children and 15 newborns in Korea revealed specific IgG antibody reaction to 40-55 and 116 kDa protein bands. Forty percent (40.0%) of the 145 sera were positive with any of the antigenic protein bands of R corinii. The positive rate was 56% in 50 males and 33.3% in 48 females. The protein bands 40-55 and 116 kDa from rat P. carinii were confirmed to cross-react with human sera in Korea.

사람과 동물 옴진드기의 형태학적 분류와 국내에서의 발생빈도

이원구,조백기 대한기생충학회 1995 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.33 No.2

지금까지 흔히 Sorcoptesscobiei(Linnaeus. 1758)의 변종으로 다루어져 왔던 옴진드 기의 분류학적 위치를 확인하고자 옴환자 돼지. 개로부터 옴진드기를 분리하여 그 형태를 비교하였다. 그 결과 사람 옴진드기와 돼지 옴진드기는 아종 수준의 차이를 나타내며. 개 옴진드기는 종 수준의 차이를 나타낸다고 판단된다. 따라서 사람의 옴진드기는 Snrcoptes scabiei scabiei (Limlaeus. 1758)(사람 옴진드기). 돼지의 옴진드기는 S. scabiei suis Megnin, 1880(돼지 옴진드기)로 부르고. 개의 옴진드기는 이들과는 다른 종의 Suimptes canis Gerlach. 3857(개 옴진드기)의 종명을 사용함이 타당하다고 여겨지나 한국에서의 옴진드기의 감염률은 1980-l981년에 가장 높아서 종합병윈 피부과 외래환자의 10%에 달해으나 최근 10년간 급속히 감소하여 현재는 1%o 미만으로 추산된다. 빈면에 개 옴진드기의 감염은 증가하는 추세에 있다 Three types, hitherto commonly known as varieties of Solcoptes scobiei (Linnaeus, 1758) were collected from scabietic patients, pigs and dogs to couirm their taxonomic status. As a result, we consider that the mites of human and pig scabies are different subspecies [S. scobiei scohiei (Linnaeus, 1758) and S. scobiei skis Megnin, 1880, respectively], and that of dog scabies is a different species, S. canis Gerlach, 1857. Infestation rate of human scabies in Korea peaked in 1981-1982 and showed nearly 10% of prevalence rate among outpatients of the dermatology clinic, but decreased dramatically during the past ten years and now lowered below 1% since 1990. On the other hand, dog scabies seems to be increasing recently. Key words: Human scabies, dog scabies, pig scabies, taxonomy, prevalence.

신호준,임경일,최림순,Sin, Ho-Jun,Im, Gyeong-Il,Choe, Rim-Sun 대한기생충학회 1985 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.23 No.1

자유생활아에마중 병원성이 강한 것으로 알려진 Naegleria fowleri영양형 $5{\times}10^4$개를 생쥐의 비강내 로 감염시켜서 원발성 아메바성 뇌수막염을 받생시켰다. 그런 과정중 비장을 적출하여 그 영향에 대하여 생쥐의 체중과 수술후 회복기간별로 뇌수막염에 의한 사망율과 평균생존기간을 비교하였다. 또 생쥐의 혈청중 면역확산법으로 항체의 형성여부를 관찰하였으며, 각 실험군에서 채취한 혈청을 전기영동법을 실시하여 혈청단백질분획을 바교하였다. 본 실험결과 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1. 생후 3주째에 비장을 적출하고 1주일 후에 N. fowleri로 감염시킨 실험I에서 대조군, sham군, 비장적출군 사이의 사망율은 각각 100%, 85%, 95%이었으며, 평균생존기간은 7.3일, 7.5일, 7.8일이었다. 2. 생후 3주째에 비장을 적출하고 3주일 후에 N. fowleri를 감염시킨 실험 II에서 대조군, sham군, 비장적출군 사이의 사망율은 각각 95%, 95%, 95%이었으며, 평균생존기간은 12.1일, 11.5일, 11.5일이었다. 3. 생후 5주째에 비장을 적출하고 1주일 후에 N. fowleri를 감염시킨 실험 III에서 대조군, sham군, 비장적출군 사이의 사망율은 각각 95%, 90%, 95%이었으며, 평균생존기간은 8.1일, 8.3일, 8.6일 이었다. 4. 원발성 아에바성 뇌수막염이 발생된 생쥐의 혈청을 면역확산법을 실시한 결과, 항원-항체 복합체의 2중으로 된 침강대를 관찰하였다. 5. 혈청단백질분획의 비교는 다음과 같았다. 1) 비장을 적출한 후 N. fowleri를 감염 시키기 전에 채취한 혈청중, 대조군에서 분획 III, IV 이 sham군과 비장적출군에 비하여 다르게 나타났다. 2) 비장을 적출한 후 N. fowleri을 감염시켜서 뇌수막염을 발생시킨 생쥐의 혈청에서는 대조군과 sham군의 분획 II, III, V가 비장적출군과 달랐다. 3) 비장을 적출한 후 N. fowleri를 감염시키기 전에 채취한 혈청과 감염시킨 후 뇌수막염에 의하여 사망하기 직전에 채취한 혈청사이에서는 분획 I, III, N, V가 다르게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 병원성이 강한 N. fowleri 영양형을 생쥐의 비강내로 떨어뜨려 원말성 아메바성 뇌수막염을 발생시킬 수 있었고, 비장을 적출하면 혈청 단백칠분획에는 차이를 나타낼지라도 생쥐의 사망율과 평균생존기간에는 아무런 영향을 주지 않았음을 알 수 있었다. To elucidate the effect of splenectomy on the development of experimental primary amoebic meningoencephalitis in mice, the death rate and survival time of mice infected intranasally with Naegleria fowleri trophozoites $5{\times}10^4$ cultivated in CGVS medium were compared according to the mouse age when splenectomy was done, and post-operation until experimental infection. Immunodigusion was undergone to detect the presence of serum antibod). due to N, fowleri infecttion in mice. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was done to compare the protein fractions of mouse serum in each experimental groups. In experiment I, splenectomy was done 3 weeks and infection 4 weeks after birth, the death rate of control, sham operated and splenectomized group were 100%, 85% and 95%, and the mean survival time after infection 7.3 days, 7.5 days and 7.8 days, respectively. In experiment II, splenectomy was undergone 3 weeks and infection 6 weeks after birth, the death rate of of control, sham operated and splenectomized group were 95%, 95% and 95%, and the mean survival time after infection 12.1 days, 11.5 days and 11.5 days, respectively. In experiment III, splenectomy was done 5 weeks and infection 6 weeks after birth, the death rate of control, sham operated and splenectomized group were 95%, 90% and 95%, and the mean survival time after infection 8.1 days, 8.3 days and 8.5 days, respectively. By Ouchterlony immunodigusion, anti-JV. fowleri antibody in the serum of mouse with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis was detected against a N. fowleri antigen, which was prepared by ultrasonication of N, fowleri trophozoites, each reacting two lines of precipitation. The patterns of serum fractions by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were different between control and sham operated groups from splenectomized group in fraction II, III and V, the sera of which were collected after N. fowleri infection. This results may be summarized as that splenectomy has no effect on the development of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis in mice.

Naegleria fowleri로 면역된 어미에서 태어난 마우스의 방어면역 결여

임경일,이근태 대한기생충학회 1985 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.23 No.1

CGVS 배지에서 무균 배양한 Naegleria fowleri 영양형을 5% formaldehyde로 고정시켜 $1{\times}10^6$개씩 일주일 간격으로 3회 또는 6회 BAKA/c 마우스 복강내에 주입시켜 면역시켰다. 면역이 끝나고 7일후 배양된 N. fowleri영양형 $5{\times}10^4$개를 secobarbital로 마취된 마우스 비강에 떨어뜨려 감염시켰다. 어미 마우스에만 또는 어미와 그 새끼 마우스에 모두 면역시켰을 때, N. fowleri 감염에 의한 사망율에 있어 대조군과 차이가 없었으나 그 생존기간은 연장됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 새끼마우스에만 면역시켰을 때 사망율이 현저히 감소하였고 생존기간도 훨씬 연장되었다. 새끼 마우스에만 면역시켰을 때 방어면역 효과가 현저하였으나, 어미 마우스에만 또는 면역시킨 어미로부터 태어난 새끼 마우스에 면역시켰을 때는 방어면역이 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다. Female BALB/c mice weighing 18~20g were immunized by three injections of $1{\times}10^6$ Naegleria iowleri trophozoites intraperitoneally at the interval of one week 6 times for the pregnant mice and 3 times for the offspring mice. One week after immunization the mice were challenged intranasally with N. fcwleri trophozoites $5{\times}10^4$ under secobarbital anesthesia. Experimental primary amoebic meningoencephalitis developed between day 7 and 16 after infection. All mice were dead due to amoebic meningoencephalitis in all experimental groups except in the offspring born to non-immune mothers. Mean of survival time, which is the duration of survival of mice from infection to death, was delayed in the groups of mice born to immune mothers, immune mice born to immune mothers. Active or passive protective immunity against N. fowleri infection was demonstrated in the ismunized mice and mice born to immune mothers. But the effectiveness of immunization was greatly impaired in terms of mortality in the immune mice born to immune mothers when N. fowulsri was infected intranasally.

한국산 동물로부터 크립토스포리디움의 분리 및 동정 II. 마우스로부터 Cryptosporidium muris의 분리

이재구,서영석,박배근,Lee, Jae-Gu,Seo, Yeong-Seok,Park, Bae-Geun 대한기생충학회 1991 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.29 No.2

한국산 마우스로부터 분리한 크링토스포리디움(Cryptosporidium)의 대형 오오시스트 (C. muris)를 SPF 마우스에 경구 투여하여 분변 내 오오시스트 배출 양상과 투과전자현미경으로 위선 조직에서 발견되는 여러 발육기의 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 마우스에 있어서 prepatent period는 평균 5.6일, patent period 63.0±1.6일, 오오시스트 배출 정점기는 투여 후 36.6±2.8일째, 그리고 일반적으로 30일부터 50일까지 20일간에 걸쳐 다수의 오오시스트가 분변으로 배출되었다. 이 원충의 거의 모든 발육기의 크기는 C. Parwum보다 커서 오오시스트 1.4배, 스포로조이트 2.4배, 메로조이트 1.6배, 수생식체 1.5배이었다. 그리고, 숙주세포에 부착되어 있는 부위는 C. parwum의 것과 현저하게 다르므로 모든 발육기에서 바같쪽이 숙주의 두터운 사상돌기로 둘러싸여 있는 전단 돌출부를 볼 수 있었다. 또한, 한국산 마우스 유래 오오시스트가 strain RN 66의 것보다 다소 작았다. 이상의 결과를 기초로 하여 한국산 마우스 유래 크립토스포리디움을 C. maris라고 동정하였으며, Cryptesporidium tsuris(strain MCR)라고 명명하고자 한다. Each of SPF mice(Scl: ICR strain, 3-week-old males) was inoculated with 5$\times$104 oocysts of Cryptosporidium by stomach tube. The oocysts were large type one which was previously isolated from Korean mice, and passaged in 3-week-old SPF mice. The patterns of oocyst discharge were monitored daily, and in order to observe the ultrastructure of developmental stages the stomach of the mice was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at 4 weeks post-inoculation. The prepatent period for 6 mice was 5.6 days post-inoculation on the average, and the patent period was 63.2 days. The number of oocysts discharged per day from the mice reached peak on day 36.6 post-inoculation on the average. A large number of oocysts were found in fecal samples obtained from inoculated mice on days 30~50 post-inoculation. C. tsuris was larger than C. parvum at almost every developmental stages, the sixte difference being 1.4 times in oocysts, 2.4 times in sporozoites, 1.6 times in merozoites, and 1.5 times in microgametes. The ultrastructural features of the attachment site of C. tsuris to the mucus cells were remarkably different from those of C. parvum and its closely related species. The anterior projection of the protozoa (C. muris), the outer aspect of which was surrounded by a thick filamentous process of the host cell, has not been reported at any developmental stages of C. parvum or its closely related species. The size of the oocysts of strain RN 66 was larger than that of Korean mice origin. The above results reveal that the large type Cryptosporidium of Korean mice origin is identified as Cryptosporidium muris and this type was named as C. muris (strain MCR).

단클론 항체를 이용하여 정제한 톡소포자충 30 kDa 항원의 면역학적 특성

이영화,노태진,신대환,Lee, Yeong-Hwa,No, Tae-Jin,Sin, Dae-Hwan 대한기생충학회 1997 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.35 No.1

The molecular weight 30 kDa membrane protein of Toxoplusma Sondii (Toxoplasma 30 kDa) apparently conserved in most strains of T. gondii and sera of infected hosts. The present study aimed to elucidate Toxoplasmc 30 kDa as a useful diagnotic antigen for serodiagnisis of toxoplasmosis by ELISA and for induction of protective immunity. Murine spleen cells immunized with the membrane antigen of T. gondii were fused with mouse Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells. Out of 8 clones selected, five were IgG2b, the others belonged to IgG 1 and IgG2a. The 30 kDa antigen was distributed mainly on the surface membrane of tachyzoites by indirect fluorescence method. Murine peritoneal macrophages which were activated by 30 kDa antigen produced more amounts of NO2 compared with crude antigen-treated group, however there were no significant differences in toxoplamacidal activity between the two groups. Higher specificity of Toxoplosma 30 kDa antigen was recognized for serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis than the crude antigen. From these results, ToxopLasmo 30 kDa antigen enhances the cytotoxic effect of macrophages as well as a more reliable means for the serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis by ELISA. Key words: Toxoplosma gondii, 30 kDa antigen (p30), mouse, serodiagnosis, macrophage, cytotoxicity. 톡소포자충(ToxopLasmn gondii)은 다양한 항원을 가지고 있으며, 이들 항원의 분석은 세 포매개성 면역반응 및 톡소포자충증의 면역학적 진단방법의 연구에 매우 중요하다 본 연구는 톡소포자충의 여러 단백질중 대부분의 충주(strain)에 존재하는 분자량 30 kDa의 단백질을 단클론 항체를 이용하여 분리한 후. 30 kDa 항원의 면역학적 특성을 초음파 추출 조항원과 비교 평가하였다. 톡소포자충의 세포막 항원으로 면역한 마우스 비장세포와 마우스 Sp2/0-Agl4 골수종세포를 융합하여 8개의 단클론 항체를 Western blot으로 확인하였다 이들 단클론 항체는 높은 특이성을 보였으며, $IgG_{2b}가{\;}5개,{\;}IgG^{1}이{\;}2개,{\;}IgG_{2a}$가 1개였다. 간접형광항체법으로 충체내 위치를 관찰한 결과. 30 kDa 항원은 tachyzoite의 표면 세포막에 주로 분포하였다. 단클론 항체와 CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B를 coupling하여 만든 immunoafrnity chromatography를 이용 하여 30 kDa 항원을 분리하였다. 분리한 30 kDa 항원으로 자극시킨 마우스 복강대식세포의 $NO_2^{-}$ 생산량은 초음파 추출 조항원 사용군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였으나 대식세포의 탐식능은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 ELISA로 톡소포자충증을 진단시, 톡소포자충 30 kDa 항원 사용군은 조항원 사용군에 비해 민감도의 변화는 없었으나 특이성은 증가하였다 이상으로 보아 톡소포자충 30 kDa 항원은 감염 방어 면역 효과가 있었으며 진단에 이용시 특이성을 더 높일 수 있었다.

Prednisolone 투여가 원발성 아메바성 뇌수막염의 실험적 발생에 미치는 영향

김옥용,임경일 대한기생충학회 1985 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.23 No.1

Naegleria fowleri의 감염에 의한 생쥐의 원발성 아메바성 뇌수막염의 발생에 prednisolone투여가 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 관찰한 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 각 실험군 별로 $1{\times}10^5$의 N. fowleri를 감염시킨 후 생존기간을 관찰하였더니, prednisolone을 투여한 제1군의 평균 생존기간은 10.2일, 제2군은 10.6일, 제3군은은 11.3일로써 prednisolon을 투여한 군이 비투여군에 비하여 유의하게 생존기간이 단축됨을 알 수 있었으며, prednisolon투여군인 제1, 2, 3군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었으나 전투여군인 제1군에서 생존시간이 단축되는 경향을 나타내었다. 2. 각 실험군 별로 감염 이후 20일까지 체중의 변화를 관찰한 결과, prenisolone 투여군에서는 서로 비슷한 양상을 나타내었는데 투여하는 시기부터 어느 정도 감소하다가 일정한 시간이 지나면서 회복현상을 나타내었다. 또한 prednisolon만 투여한 제 IV군에 비하여 제1, 2, 3군에서 체중이 더욱 심하게 감소하는 현상을 나타내었다. 그리고 대조군은 감염 8일 후부터 감소하기는 하였으나 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 보아 체중감소현상은 주로 prednisolone에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다. 3. Prednisolone 투여한 감염군은 대조군에 비하여 뇌와 폐조직에서 비교적 심한 병변이 나타났음을 알 수 있었다. 4. 감염된 생쥐의 임상증세는 감염 후 며칠이 지나면 머리를 비비고 고개를 떨구며, 식욕부진이 나타나 먹이를 먹지 않다가 발작이 오고, 빈사상태가 되어 사망하게 된다. 대부분의 생쥐에서 이러한 증세가 나타나는데, prednisolone 투여군에서는 감염 5일 이후부터 증세가 나타나는 경향을 보였고, 대조군은 감염 8일 이후에야 나타나 10일경에 사망하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합항 보면 prednisolone을 투여하여 인위적으로 면역반응을 억제시켜 줄 경우 N. fowleri에 감염된 생쥐의 생존기간은 단축되고 병변도 더욱 심하게 나타나며, 감염전에 투여해 주는 것이 가장 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. Present study aimed to elucidate the immunosuppressive effect of prednisolone on Naegleria fowlsri infection in mice. N. fowleri was cultured in CGVS medium (Willert and Le Ray, 1973) . White female mice, weighing about 18g, used for experiments were divided into five groups; untreated control group, prednisolone treated groups (before, during and after infection), and only prednisolone treated group. In the prednisolone treated group, the hormone was injected intramuscularly 5 doses of 10 mg/kg every other day. According to designated time of treatment, each mouse was challenged with $1{\times}10^5$ N. fowleri intranasally. Changes of body weights, clinical manifestations and number of dead mouse were observed. Brain and lung tissues of dead mice were cultured in the non-nutrient agar (Kasprzak and Mazur, 1972), or stained with hematoxylin.rosin for the examination of histopathological changes. Results of the experiment are summarized as follows: Mortality among the prednisolone treated groups was higher than that in untreated control group, and among the treated groups, the pretreated group showed shorter survival time. Body weights among untreated control mice showed no significant increase, however, treated groups of mice showed the decrease during the administration and recovery of the weights were observed at 2 to 3 days after the completion of treatment. In the treated control groups, the infected mice began to show the pathologic findings 5 days after infection while, the untreated mice began to show the findings 8 days after infection. Tissue damages in brain and lung occurred due to virulence of amoeba were more severe among treated mice than that in untreated control group. The above mentioned results suggest that the treatment with prednisolone weaken the resistance of mice against N. fowleri infection, and probably induce more severe primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. Especially severe pathological findings were shown in pre-treated group, compared with untreated group.

Fascioliasis in cattle is one of the most common and very serious trematode diseases in Korea. In the present study, the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied in the diagnosis of fascioliasis using antigen of Fasciela hepatica, perokidase of conjugate anti-cattle Is G and orthophenylenediamine as a substrate by micro-method technique of Volley et at. (1976b) and MacLaren (1978) with a slight modification. Results obtained from the present study are as follows. 1. In assay for optimal dilution of stock antigen, the antigen (protein contents; 0. Bmgymz) was diluted from 1150 to 1/600 with carbonate buffer (pH 9.6), and then absorbance values were measured with 1/100 diluted sera. The regression equations between the OD values of ELISA and dilution of antigen were log Y: -0.181-0.00127X in infected sera, and log Y: -0.578-0. 000879X in normal sera. The significantly higher (p<0.05) OD value was observed in the former. 2. In assay for optimal dilution of sera, the sera were diluted from 1125 to 1/400 with in PBSJ Tween 20 (pH 7.4), and absorbance values were measured with 1/200 diluted antigen. The regression equation between the OD values of ELISA and dilution of sera were log Y: -0.1540-0.0007238X in infected sera and log Y: -0.4834-0.00116X in normal sera. The former was higher than the latter (p<0.05). 3. In the 27 cases of negative intradermal test, OD values of the ELISA are $0.447{\pm}0.144$, the 95% confidence interval (Mean+2 H SD) of the values was 0.735, and there was no case over the values. Therefore, the sensitivity of the antigen to diagnose fascioliasis was 100% in the negative case. The OD value 0.7 which is designed as a criterion (detection level of positive one) is useful for the performance of the ELISA in fascioliasis. 4. According to the OD value of criterion in the regression equations, the optimal dilutions of stock antigen and serum were 1/250 and 1/100, respectively. 5. In the 58 cases of fascioliasis from which the adult could be found in the bile ducts, the OD value was $0.846{\pm}0.224$. The 75% (44 cattle) among them had higher value with compared to the criterion, and the 60% (20 cattle) of the cases of proliferative cholangitis of 33 cattle which had been infected previousely with Fasciola sp. is higher than the criterion. 6. Prevalence of fascioliasis was 43.4% in the application of the ELISA to 272 cattle which were reared in Jeonbug district.

남강유역 간흡충감염의 역학적 조사연구

배경훈,안영겸 대한기생충학회 1983 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.21 No.2

An epidemiological study on Clonorchis sinensis infection along the Nam-river (total length ; 186km) flowing in Gyeongsang-nam-do, southern part of Korea, was carried out. Formalin-ether concentration technique and Stoll's egg counting method were employed to figure out the prevalence of C. sinensis infection. For the detection of cercariae from Parafossarulus sp., the snail host of C. sinensis, each snail was placed in aerated tap water, and examined for expelled cercariae. For observing the metacercariae the fresh water fish favorably eaten in raw conditions wore prepared by means of pressing the muscles between two slide glasses and/or by digesting them with artificial gastric juice. The fresh water fish were fed to the rabbits to get the worms and to identify the morphology of adult C. sinensis. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Overall Prevalence of C. sinensis infection was 38.75 from 5,291 examinees; 44.15 (1,408 out of 3,196) in male and 30.4% (637 out of 2,095) in female. 2. The prevalence rates were 42.0% at the upper stream, 41.2% around the vicinity of Jinyanglake, 34.2% at Jinju city, 34.2% at middle stream and 40.3% at down stream regions, respectively. 3. By age, the highest positive rate (53.4∼54.3%) was observed in 30 to 59 years of age. In this age group, the rate in males was 59.7∼62.2%, and in females 42.2∼44.4%, In the age group of less than 19 years it was 7.5∼20.9%. 4. By social strata, the positive rate was 16.5% in the primary school children, 22.6% in school students, 46.2% in teachers and local officers and 49.6% in the general inhabitants. 5. The quantitative examinations with the stool collected from clonorchiasis cases revealed that the light infection (less than 4,000/EPG) was 53.6%, moderate infection (4,001∼10,000 /EPG) 30.3% and heavy infection (more than 10,001/EPG) 16.1%, respectively. More than half of total cases examined were light infection, and 73.2% of female examinees were lightly infected with this cuke. 6. The average value of EPG was 4,963 (male, 6,057; female, 2,557 and the highest value was obtained from the age group of 30 to 59 years (5,240∼6,454). 7. The prevalence of Metagonimus yokogawai infection in humans was 5.5%, and 89.8% of metagonimiasis cases wore double-infected arith C. sinensis. The highest prevalence rate was observed in Jinju city (11.2%). 8. Total of 5,005 Parafossarulus sp., the snail intermediate host of C. sinensis, were examined for the detection of cercariae. The cercarial expulsion rate was 0.34%, and the snails collected in Jin-yang-lake side and in the down stream expelled mainly the cercariae of C, sinensis. 9. About 788 cercariaejday (range: 127∼1,503) were expelled daily from a snail naturally infected with C. sinensis. The snails which released more than 1,000 cercariae/day were 30.8% out of total collected. A snail uniquely released 5,840 cercariae/day in this study. 10. The other trematode cercariae besides C. sinensis were also detected, and the rates out of total snails were the cercariae of Losogenes liberum 6.71%, Cyathocotyle orientalis 0.26%, Notocotylus attenuatus 2.52% and Mucobucaris 0.54%, 11. Ten out of 18 species of fresh water fish caught along the river harbored the metacercariae of C, sinensis. The highest rate of metacercarial infection in fish was detected in Pseudorasbora larva (85.9%). The fish mainly eaten by the inhabitants along the Nam-river, and the metacercarial infection rates were: Zacco platypus 8.0%, Hemibarbus sp. 18.2∼26.7%, Gnathepcgcn sp. 37.5%, Ischikauia steenackeri 42.9% and Pseudogobio esocinus 16.7%. 12. Out of 36 P. larva, the number of metacercariae were about 109 (ranEe; 18∼446) per fish and 27 per gram of flesh. The fish caught in spring harbored the highest number of metacercariae. As indicated above, the prevalence of C. sinensis infection in the inhabitants residing around the Nam-river was relatively high. The farther toward the upper stream areas, the higher was the positive
