Metagonimus miyatai n. sp. (Digenea: Heterophyidae) is described based on adult flukes collected from experimental dogs and hamsters fed with metacercariae encysted in the sweetfish, Plecoglossus altivelis, dace, tribolodon hakonensis and T. taczanowskii, common fat-minnow, Morocco steindachneri, pale chub, Zacco platypus, and dark chub, Zacco temmincki, and on those collected from naturally infected humans. The new species was morphologically compared with M. yokogawai and M. takahashii obtained from experimental animals fed with the sweetfish and the crucian carp, Carassius carassius, respectively. The uterine loops of M. miyatai reached near the posterior end of the body through the space between the two testes, whereas those of M. yokogawai, occupied only the space between the acetabulum and anterior border of two testes. This uterine tubule distribution was similar to that of another closely related species, M. takahashii. However, vitellaria of M. miyatai ended in front of the posterior end of the left testis, while those of M. takahashii reached the posterior end of the left testis and ran it over. By raising M. miyatai as a new species, differentiation of M. yokogawai and M.
takahashii became very clear. A key to the species of the genus Metagonimus in the Far East has been proposed.

A small coastal village of Muan-gun, Chollanam-do, was surveyed for intestinal fluke infections, especially heterophyids such as Heterophyes nocens and Pygidiopsis summa by fecal examination on 108 inhabitants. The egg positive rate of heterophyids was very high, 75.0%, and that of other parasites was comparatively low, 0.9-3.7% by parasite species. After treatment of 20 patients showing high E.P.G. with praziquantel and purging with MgSO4, total 3,864 specimens of H. nocens were collected from the diarrheic stools of all the patients treated (3-1,338 individually) and total 703 P. summa were harvested from 18 patients (1-170 individually), together with several other species of flukes. Other flukes included Stictodora fuscata (164 specimens from 4 patients), Heterophyopsis continua (2 from 2 patients), and Gymnophalloides seoi (4 from 3 patients). From this study, the surveyed coastal area of Muan-gun, Chollanam-do was proven to be a new endemic focus of H. nocens and P. summa. The occurrence of a few infected cases suggests that this area should also be a low-grade endemic area of S. fuscata, H. continua, and G. seoi.

Genus Metagonimus has been a subject of taxonomic debates for several years. In morphological aspects, M. yokogawai has been thought to have three subtypes, namely Yokogawa type (M. yokogawai in strict sense), Miyata type and Koga type, But differences in the intestinal pathology induced by these subtypes have not been studied yet. In this study we compared the pathological reactions induced by M. yokogawai and Metagonimus Miyata type using proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index. Metacercariae (Mc) of M. yokogawai were collected by artificial digestion of Plecoglossus altivelis and Mc of Metagonimus Miyata type were collected from Zacco platypus. Three hundreds Mc of each species were infected orally to ICR mice. The mice were sacrificed at 3, 6, 10, 16 and 23 days after infection and the small intestines were resected into three portions (proximal, middle, and distal). Immunohistochemical staining for PCNA was done using PC-10 (DAKO-PCNA, CA, USA). The PCNA indices in M. yokogawai infected group on the 6th and 23rd day after infection were lower than in the control and Miyata type infected groups (p < 0.05) from all of the three intestinal regions. On the other hand, the control group and Metagonimus Miyata type infected group did not make any differences in PCNA indices. The villus/crypt (V/C) ratio was also decreased significantly in M. yokogawai infected mice but not in Metagonimus Miyata type infected ones. It is suggested that M. yokogawai induce villous atrophy through a decrease in the cell proliferation at the crypt. The results of this study suggested that M. yokogawai induce more serious intestinal pathology than Metagonimus Miyata type.

The responses of gastric mucosal mast cells (GMMCs) to infection with coccidian protozoa, Cryptosporidium muris, in mice were examined during primary and challenge infections.
Each of three-week old ICR SPF mice was orally inoculated with a single dose of 2 x 10(6) oocysts of C. muris (strain MCR). After oocyst shedding ceased, the mice were orally challenged with a single dose of 2 x 10(6) oocysts of the same species. GMMCs reached a peak on days 20-30 postinoculation (PI) in number, and decreased thereafter. An increase on days 20-30 post-challenge-infection (PCI) was also observed. The mice showed, on the whole, normal profiles of oocyst shedding in droppings. The number of the cells of uninfected control mice remained constant. Judging from the above results, it is suggested that mastocytosis correlate with expulsion of C. muris in primary infection and the defense mechanism of challenge infection.

Tachyzoite antigens of Toxoplasma gondii (RH) were partially purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. The cultivated Toxoplasma in vivo (mouse) and in vitro (Hep-2 cell) and peritoneal fluid of T. gondii infected mice were collected for antigen analysis. Tachyzoite antigens collected from infected mouse showed positive bands of 76 kDa, 70 kDa, 64 kDa, 53 kDa, 46 kDa, 44 kDa, 41 kDa, 35 kDa, 25 kDa, 18 kDa, and 13 kDa on immunoblot with anti-Toxoplasma rabbit sera, and those from infected Hep-2 cells revealed reactive bands of 70 kDa, 64 kDa, 53 kDa, 35 kDa 28 kDa, and 13-10 kDa. After applying to an IgG-Sepharose column, two elution peaks, E-1 and E-2 fractions, were obtained from both soluble antigen of T.
gondii and the peritoneal fluid of infected mice, respectively. Immunoblots of soluble antigen with immunized rabbit sera revealed positive bands of 97 kDa, 63 kDa, 53 kDa, and 35 kDa from E-1 fraction and 53 kDa and 35 kDa from E-2. In the case of the eluted peaks from mice peritoneal fluid, E-1 showed protein bands of 84 kDa, 76 kDa, 53 kDa, and 29 kDa bands and 53 kDa and 45 kDa from E-2 on immunoblots. Serum IgG antibody titer of mice immunized with T. gondii tachyzoites was increased on 1 week after booster immunization when analysed by ELISA using crude antigen, while it was elevated on 3 weeks after booster immunization by ELISA using purified antigen.

This study was carried out to determine whether dermal mast cell responses to Paragonimus westermani in an abnormal host, the mouse, were dependent on the site of metacercarial inoculation. In mice during subcutaneous infection, the number of dermal mast cells were increased significantly (p < 0.05) at the first week (38.3/mm2) and then persisted at a high level until the sixth week (45.2/mm2) of infection compared with PBS-injected (control) mice (range: 19.4-25.1/mm2). In mice during oral infection, the number of dermal mast cells were increased significantly (p < 0.05) at two weeks (33.5/mm2) after infection and remained at these levels thereafter compared with non-infected (control) mice (range: 17.4-22.3/mm2). In mice both during subcutaneous and oral infection, the recruited dermal mast cells showed extensive degranulation at the second week (68.4% and 60.7%, respectively), reached a peak at the third week (81.4%, and 92.1%, respectively) and then declined slightly thereafter.
By contrast, in both control mice, about 10% of dermal mast cells were degranulated. In conclusion, this study suggests that dermal mast cell responses to P. westermani in mice are dependent on cutaneous sensitization by larval excretory-secretory antigens, irrespective of infection route.

To assess several chemotherapeutic schemes for control of enterobiasis, 738 children in five primary schools in Chunchon, Korea, were studied from May 1994 to June 1995.
They were divided into 6 groups by the schemes: treatment of once or twice a year; treatment of positive cases or of whole class students; treatment with or without family members. The overall egg positive rate before intervention was 17.5% out of 789 children. Treating all individuals in a class together with family members of positive cases brought better control efficacy than other schemes (p = 0.000).
However, when egg positive rate is less than 30%, treating only egg positive cases also can reduce egg positive rate.
The confounding factors for the enterobiasis control in primary schoolchildren were new-comer to a class and familial infection.

We tried to compare the three kinds of Metagonimus species, M. yokogawai, Metagonimus Miyata type, and M. takahashii, which were known to be distributed in Korea with polymerase chain reaction based-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) patterns. We amplified the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) site of ribosomal RNA and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (mCOI) gene. The restriction patterns of ITS1 gene with Rsa I, Alu I and Msp I showed multiple fragmented bands of different sizes between three kinds of Metagonimus. In case of mCOI gene, Rsa I and Alu I enzymes produced differentially fragmented band patterns. According to the parsimony analysis of PCR-RFLP patterns, the estimated genetic divergence between M. yokogawai and Metagonimus Miyata type was 0.034880, between Metagonimus Miyata type and M. takahashii was 0.028098, between M. yokogawai and M. takahashii was 0.018179. It is suggested that Metagonimus Miyata type may be separate species and evolutionize at the older time than the other two species.

The only observed morphological difference between Spirometra erinacei and S. mansonoides is the uterine shape of the mature proglottid. Two species of worms are thought to be evolutionarily closely related. Biomolecular comparison of the two worms by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was conducted to observe the genetic distance. The 28s rDNA, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mCOI), and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) fragments were obtained from the worms by PCR. The PCR products were cleaved by 5 four-base pair restriction enzyme combinations (Msp I, Hae III, Alu I, Cfo I, Rsa I), electrophoresed and analyzed with PAUP 3.1.1. The fragment patterns of 28S rDNA and ITS1 demonstrated that two worms were in identical systematic tree with bootstrap number 94 and 100, respectively. As for mCOI, bootstrap number was 74 in a different tree. Above results are indicative of recent common ancestry between S. erinacei and S. mansonoides.

A total of 32 human diphyllobothriasis cases have been reported so far in Korea, excluding 21 egg-positive cases from stool examinations. Authors experienced five more human cases of Diphyllobothrium latum infection, especially infected due to eating raw flesh of redlip mullet, Liza haematocheila. Five cases were neighbors residing in the Puchon area, Kyonggi-do, who ate raw mullets (L.
haematocheila) in a party in February 1996. The mullets were purchased at the Noryangjin fisheries market in Seoul. All of cases (2 males and 3 females) were 35 to 43 years old and healthy with the body weight range of 56-62 kg. They complained about gastrointestinal trouble and abdominal discomfort, but were in normal ranges of their hematology and urinalysis data. None revealed any sign of anemia. The patients experienced natural discharge of a chain of segments before, and showed diphyllobothriid eggs in their stool specimens when they visited our laboratory. They were administered with praziquantel (15 mg/kg of body weight) and 30 g of magnesium sulfate as a purgative. Two whole worms with the scolices (310-340 cm in length; 8-13 mm in width) were expelled each from two out of five cases after anthelmintic treatment, and the others expelled the parts of strobilae without scolex. The worms were identified as D.
latum, based on the following biological characters: external morphologies, coiling of uterus, the number of uterine loops, position of genital opening, morphologies of cirrus, cirrus sac and seminal vesicle on the histological sections, position of vagina and uterine pore, and microscopical and SEM morphologies of the eggs.

On July and August 1997, two 15-year-old mates of a football team of Tongjin Middle School in northern Kyonggi-do, Korea were consecutively diagnosed as vivax malaria by peripheral blood smear. They had no histories of travelling abroad or drug abuse. They witnessed that other mates in the team were ill of fever in the same period. A small survey was therefore undertaken to determine whether vivax malaria was outbroken locally. A total of 57 students of the team living together in a dormitory was examined for history of fever, presence of splenomegaly, blood smear and anti-P. vivax antibody test by immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Except for the above two patients, only one case revealed a marginal titer of IFAT. No other positive findings of vivax malaria were found. In the results of this local survey, no more cases of vivax malaria were revealed except the two sporadic cases.

Genomic DNA from Metagonimus yokogawai and Metagonimus Miyata type was amplified by polymerase chain reaction based on the random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Eight random 10-mer oligonucleotide primers (OPA-02, 5-TGCCGAGCTG-3; OPA-09, 5-GGGTAACGCC-3; OPA-10, 5-GTGATCGCAG-3; OPA-11, 5-CAATCGCCGT-3; OPA-13, 5-CAGCACCCAC-3; OPA-17, 5-GACCGCTTGT-3; OPA-19, 5-CAAACGTCGG-3; OPA-20, 5-GTTGCGATCC-3) with a G + C content of 60-70% (Kit A, Operon Technologies Inc., California, USA) could produce distinguishable banding patterns between the two Metagonimus species. From the results of this study, it was suggested that Metagonimus Miyata type has a different DNA sequence from M. Yokogawai.
