Each of SPF chicken (Hi-Line strain, 2-day-old males) was inoculated with 2.5 or 5 x 10(4) oocysts by stomach tube. The oocyst was the medium type of Cryptosporidium previously isolated from Korean chicken origin, and passed in 2-day-old SPF chicken. The patterns of oocyst discharge were monitored daily, and in order to observe the ultrastructure of the developmental stages, the bursa of Fabricius of the chicken was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on the 12th day postinoculation. The prepatent period for 8 chicken was 5.9 days postinoculation on the average, and the patent period was 12.9 days. The number of oocysts discharged per day for the chicken was reached peak on day 12 postinoculation on the average. A large number of oocysts was found in fecal samples obtained from inoculated chicken on days 8-14 postinoculation. The ultrastructural feature of almost every developmental stage of the medium type from chicken was very similar to that of Cryptosporidium previously isolated from mammalia including human and birds except for the attachment site of C. muris to the mucus cell from mammalia, but dimension of the oocysts from fecal samples of the medium type was different from those of C. meleagridis and mammalia origin. The above results reveal that the medium type of Cryptosporidium of Korean chicken origin is identified as Cryptosporidium baileyi.

Epidemiological studies of digenetic trematodes in Yongyang County, Kyungpook Province
Chung, D I , Kim, Y I , Lee, K R , Choi, D W
Korean J Parasitol 1991;29(4):325-338.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3347/kjp.1991.29.4.325
The present study was undertaken to determine the endemicity of trematode infections in Yongyang County, Kyungpook Province, Korea. One hundred and seventy-seven out of 955 residents examined were found to be infected with one or more kinds of helminths. The prevalence rate was 18.5%. Among them, 70 were found to be infected with Clonorchis sinensis, 74 with Metagonimus sp. and 24 with both flukes. The eggs of Fasciolidae were demonstrated from two specimens. The prevalence rate of clonorchiasis in males was 12.6%, while that in females was 3.6% (p less than 0.05). The prevalence of metagonimiasis in males was 12.0% and was also significantly higher than 6.1% in females (p less than 0.05). The intensity of both infections was significantly heavier in males than in females. The prevalence of both flukes was higher in residents of over 30 years of age than in those below that age. No correlation was found between the intensity and the age group. Among eight species of the fresh-water fish collected at the Panbyon River, Zacco temmincki was found to be the most frequently and heavily infested with metacercariae of Metagonimus sp., and Gnathopogon atromaculatus alone was found to be infested with metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis. The present results suggest that Yongyang area still remains endemic with Clonorchis sinensis and Metagonimus sp. infection.

Localization and characterization of the antigenic components of sparganum which induced IgG and IgM antibodies in the host were studied by immunohistochemical techniques and SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The antigen recognized by IgG antibody of rats or mice which were immunized by infection or injection of crude extracts of metacestodes of Spirometra erinacei, was located in the parenchyma of sparganum, especially at the cortex and around the calcareous corpuscles. The immunoreaction was demonstrated not only in the encysted fibrous wall of host but around the arterioles or venules in the connective tissue of host. The antigen recognized by IgM antibody of rats or mice was also observed in the parenchyma of sparganum and in the connective tissue of host. By 5-20% gradient SDS-PAGE and EIBT, we detected antigenic components by IgG and IgM antibodies of the rat or mouse immunized by infection or injection of crude extract of spargana. Twenty-three antigenic bands from crude extracts of spargana were recognized by IgG antibody and 15 components by IgM antibody of immunized rats. Out of the bands recognized by IgG and IgM antibodies, 15 were cross-reacted each other. Twenty components of excretory-secretory proteins from spargana were recognized by IgG, and 5 components by IgM antibody of immunized rats. By IgG and IgM antibodies of immunized mice, 16 components of crude extracts were recognized by IgG antibody and 9 components by IgM antibody. Twenty components of excretory-secretory preparation were recognized by IgG antibody and 5 components by IgM antibody. Thirteen components of crude extracts were cross-reacted by IgG antibody of rats and mice.

A total of 2,580 sera of the patients who were consulted to the serology laboratory of the Seoul National University Hospital were collected in 1990. The sera were screened by micro-ELISA to detect IgG antibody reacting with Pneumocystis carinii antigen. The absorbances were 0.00 to 1.41 and mean 0.27 +/- 0.253. As the positive criterion was set absorbance 0.2 or more with 70% sensitivity, total positive rate was 44.4%. Mean absorbances and positive rates were higher in children than in adults; 0.40 and 62.9% in 0 year group, 0.50 and 81.2% in 1 year group, 0.41 and 66.0% in 2-3 year group, 0.33 and 61.4% in 4-5 year group, 0.25 and 42.3% in 6-10 year group respectively. In the age groups over 11 years, the absorbances were in range of 0.16 to 0.23 and the positive rates were 26.1% to 41.5%. The present level of absorbances and positive rates could be regarded similar with those in normal Korean population. The present findings suggest that most humans are exposed to Pneumocystis within 2 years after birth and meet much less new antigenic challenge after 11 years in Korea.

The nature of 2 component proteins in crude saline extract of adult Paragonimus westermani was investigated. By immunoaffinity chromatography using monoclonal antibodies (MAb) as ligands, the proteins were purified from the crude extract. Band 1 protein in disc-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was purified by PFCK-136 MAb. The protein, known to have molecular mass of 440 kDa, was composed of 23, 46 and 92 kDa subunits when observed by reducing SDS-PAGE and SDS-PAGE/immunoblot. This protein was originated from eggs of the worm as revealed by immunohistochemical staining with PFCK-136 Mab. Another affinity purified protein utilizing PFCK-44 MAb was the band 4 protein of 17 kDa in disc-PAGE. This was a monomer protein in reducing SDS-PAGE and SDS-PAGE/immunoblot. The protein was produced at intestinal epithelium of the worm.

Attempts to transfer immunity against Clonorchis sinensis in nude and DS mice
Choi, D W , Chung, D I , Kang, D H
Korean J Parasitol 1991;29(4):371-380.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3347/kjp.1991.29.4.371
The effects of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and sera of athymic nude and DS mice infected with Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae or sensitized by injection of metabolic products into footpad on transfer of immunity against the fluke to the syngeneic mice were studied. There was no significant difference in eggs per gram pattern between the sensitized and control groups, and between nude and DS mice. However, the worm burdens were slightly greater in nude mice than in DS mice. Also, a few plaque forming cells were found in only DS mice given PEC and serum from Group II DS mice. In the light of these results, it is likely that PEC and sera of nude or DS mice which are deficient, at least partially, in the cellular immune system are unable to transfer immunity against C. sinensis to syngeneic recipients.

Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic flagellate in the urogenital tract of human. Innate cytotoxicity of macrophages against T. vaginalis has been recognized, but any report on the cytotoxicity of lymphokine-activated macrophages to T. vaginalis is not yet available. The present study aimed to elucidate the lymphokine-activated cell mediated cytotoxic effect against T. vaginalis by mouse peritoneal macrophages. Cytotoxicity was measured by counting the release of 3H-thymidine from prelabeled protozoa, and tested in U-bottom microtiter plates. Nitrite concentration in culture supernatants was measured by standard Griess reaction. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The cytotoxicity of macrophages was increased by addition of rIL-2 or rIFN-gamma. 2. Cytotoxicity of macrophages was reduced by addition of rIL-4 to rGM-CSF, rIL-2 or rIFN-gamma. 3. Crude lymphokine mixed with anti-IL-2 decreased the cytotoxicity of macrophages. 4. In case of macrophages cultured with rIFN-gamma or rIL-4, the concentration of nitrite was related with cytotoxicity of macrophages against T. vaginalis, but the cytotoxicity of macrophages cultured with rIL-2 and rIFN-gamma was decreased in spite of its high production of nitrite. From the results obtained, it is assumed that rIL-2 and rIFN-gamma enhance the cytotoxicity of macrophages while rIL-4 inhibits the cytotoxicity against T. vaginalis, and that the production of nitrite does not relate with the cytotoxicity of macrophages, but nitric oxide may play a role as an inhibitory factor on the proliferation of T. vaginalis.

Antibody changes in experimental anisakiasis were observed in 10 rabbits which were infected each with 10 Anisakis simplex larvae. The sera were collected before and on the 6th to the 95th day after the infection. Using crude saline extract of Anisakis larvae as antigen, specific IgM and IgG antibody levels were observed by ELISA and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/immunoblot. Levels of specific-IgM antibody were elevated from the 6th day, reached their peaks on the 11th day after the infection, and dropped thereafter. Serum levels of IgG antibody increased from the 6th day and reached their peak on the 26th day after the infection, and decreased gradually thereafter. When SDS-PAGE of the crude extract was done, at least forty-one SDS-polypeptide bands were recognized. Of them, IgM antibody reacted mainly to the bands of 168, 95, 74, 64, 51, 47 and 34 kDa while IgG antibody reacted strongly to 168, 92, 85, 64, 58, 52, 42 and 40 kDa bands. The crude extract showed negligible cross reactions with sera of other parasitic diseases and normal control.

Serum IgE levels in rats infected with Paragonimus westermani
Shin, M H , Ryu, J S , Min, D Y
Korean J Parasitol 1991;29(4):397-401.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3347/kjp.1991.29.4.397
Paragonimus westermani is a common fluke in Korea. The present study aimed to determine serum total IgE and specific IgG levels in experimental paragonimiasis of rats. Each Wistar rat was inoculated orally with 20-25 metacercariae of P. westermani from Cambaroides similis. Before and after infection (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 weeks) of P. westermani, the blood was collected from the retro-orbital venous plexus of rats and kept serum at -70 degrees C. Serum total IgE and specific IgG levels were determined by the capture and conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The results were as follows; 1. Serum IgE values were increased to 0.18 +/- 0.042 at 2 weeks, 0.28 +/- 0.151 at 4 weeks and 0.43 +/- 0.055 at 8 weeks after infection. The absorbances of non-infected rats ranged 0.07 +/- 0.021-0.12 +/- 0.025. 2. Specific IgG values were slightly increased at 3 weeks (0.20 +/- 0.032) and gradually increased up to 8 weeks (0.31 +/- 0.067) after infection. The absorbances of non-infected rats ranged 0.11 +/- 0.035-0.18 +/- 0.019. The present results suggested that P. westermani could elevate serum IgE and specific IgG antibodies in Wistar rats which were not a good definitive host.

A 32-year old housewife, living in Seoul, recognized incidentally a painless mass at the left chest wall. During later 3 months, she experienced spontaneous swelling and regression of the mass repeatedly for 4 times. Surgical resection showed a granuloma at anterior serratus muscle containing a nearly matured adult of Fasciola species without vitellaria and uterus. This is the 11th human fascioliasis and the first extra-abdominal infection reported in Korea.

A 35-year-old housewife living in Seoul complained of a recurrent palpable abdominal mass. Excisional biopsy was done. The cystic mass showed an immature worm of Paragonimus sp. in the cyst cavity. It measured 7 x 4 mm and showed well-developed oral and ventral sucker, uterus, 5-branched ovary and intestine after acetocarmine staining. But the testes and vitelline duct were not developed fully and there was no egg in the uterus. The patient has eaten raw fish. The case of ectopic paragonimiasis in the abdominal subcutaneous tissue was presented.
