Among taeniid tapeworms infecting humans through pork or beef, Taenia solium Linnaeus 1758 and Taenia saginata Goeze 1782 have already been known. Based on the morphologic characteristics of adult and metacestodes of Asian Taenia saginata, the third kind of human taeniid tapeworm known to distribute in Asian countries, a new species name of Taenia asiatica is proposed. In addition to the known biology in their intermediate hosts, T. asiatica was different morphologically from Taenia saginata Goeze 1782 in having the unarmed rostellum on the scolex of adult, the large number of 'uterine twigs' and the existence of 'posterior protuberance'. These structures in the gravid proglottids were used as taxonomic keys in taeniid tapeworms for the first time. T. asiatica metacestode (Cysticercus viscerotropica) was different morphologically from T.
saginata metacestode (Cysticercus bovis) in having wartlike formations on the external surface of the bladder wall.

Metacercariae of Parvatrema timondavidi (Digenea; Gymnophallidae) were found from Tapes philippinarum, one of the most common marine clams in Korea. T. philippinarum was collected from a fishery market in Seoul, and all of the clams examined were found to contain many gymnophallid metacercariae. To get adult worms, 10 ICR mice were fed with 100 metacercariae each and sacrificed by cervical dislocation at 7, 10 and 14 days after the infection. The adult worms harvested from the intestinal contents of the mice were morphologically characterized by oval body shape, large oral sucker with lateral projections on the lip, absence of the ventral pit, single cluster of vitellaria, and separately located genital pore from the ventral sucker.
Based on these characters they identified as P. timondavidi Bartoli, 1964. This study first confirms the presence of P.
timondavidi metacercariae in T. philippinarum in Korea.

The histological change of the biliary mucosa in clonorchiasis is characterized as adenomatous hyperplasia, and cross-sectioned mucosa looks like intestinal mucosa. In addition to the glandular hyperplasia, the metaplasia of mucin secreting cells is also known. The present study investigated the presence of intestinal secretion from the biliary mucosal cells of rabbits and rats with Clonorchis sinensis infection. The rabbit was infected with 300 and the rat was infected with 100 metacercariae of C. sinensis. A part of the animals were followed up after praziquantel treatment. The rabbit livers were prepared for histochemistry to observe any endocrine secretion and the bile duct mucosa of the mice was processed for the activity of brush border membrane (BBM)-bound enzymes of the small intestine. Immunohistochemistry with the polyclonal antibodies and biotin-streptavidin-peroxidase staining kit showed no positive cells for gastrin and secretin, but a few cells were positive for serotonin. The proliferated biliary mucosa of the mice revealed no activity of disaccharidases and aminopeptidase. Only alkaline phosphatase activity was found both in the control and the infected. The hyperplastic biliary mucosal cells showed no gastrointestinal secretory functions. The serotonin secreting cells may be one of the inflammatory cells.

The study was carried out to observe the effects of Clonorchis sinensis infection on induction of cholangiocarcinoma in Syrian golden hamsters to which 15 ppm dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) solution was administered for 8 weeks. The histopathological changes of the bile duct and liver cells were observed at the 11th week. In six of 8 hamsters (75%) which were treated with DMN and then infected with C. sinensis, the livers developed cholangiocarcinoma at 10 weeks after the infestation of C. sinensis. The features of cholangiocarcinoma lesions were adenomatous or papillary hyperplasia of the bile duct epithelia showing distinct anaplastic changes with mucinous cell metaplasia and necrotic area. In the hamsters which received either DMN or C. sinensis alone, the livers showed only hyperplastic changes of the bile duct epithelial cells. It was suggested that C. sinensis infection and DMN administration could be a synergism on the development of cholangiocarcinoma in Syrian golden hamsters.

This study was performed to evaluate differences of T cell subsets according to the injection period of recombinant mouse interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in acute Toxoplasma gondii infection. Each mouse was infected intraperitoneally with 100 cysts of Beverley strain T. gondii, and injected with 5 x 10(4) units of IFN-gamma every other day two tmres.
The percentage of Thy-1,2 cells and L3T4/Ly-2 cell ratio were significantly increased in the mice that received two doses of IFN-gamma on days 2 and 0 before infection, or days 0 and 2 after infection. The percentage of Ly-2 cells decreased in the IFN-gamma injected groups at the 3rd and 4th week after infection. The results suggest that administration of IFN-gamma to T. gondii-infected mice improves the changed population of T cell subsets to a normal state, especially when IFN-gamma was injected just after the infection.
Surface proteins of Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) were analyzed to study the antigenic variation. The surface proteins of protozoa were labelled by N-hydroxysuccinimide-biotin (NHS-biotin), the NHS-biotin-labelled proteins were immunoprecipitated with rabbit antiserum to purify the antigenic fractions and analysed by SDS-PAGE plus electroblotting. The results obtained in this study were as follows; Biotinylated T.
vaginalis-proteins obtained from intact cell and cells disrupted prior to labelling were detected by anti-biotin-peroxidase in Western blots. Labelled proteins were immunoprecipitated by T. vaginalis-immunized rabbit serum and the six bands with the molecular weights of 46, 60, 68, 90, 130 and 220 kDa were identified as having antigenicity. T. vaginalis HY-1, HY-15 and ATCC 50148 were immunoprecipitated by immune rabbit serum after biotinylation and there were no difference from antigenic bands among these strains by this technique. In conclusion with the results obtained in the present study, it was assumed that surface proteins of T. vaginalis were labelled by biotinylation and the six labelled bands at 46, 60, 68, 90, 130 and 220 kDa in their molecular weight were identified as having antigenicity by immunoprecipitation (IP) and this biotinylation-IP technique may be used for further study of surface antigen of T. vaginalis.

Antibody test is sometimes necessary for the diagnosis of acute human metagonimiasis because eggs may not be detected in stool. The antibody test (ELISA) was evaluated for its significance by reacting human sera from clinically diagnosed metagonimiasis, fascioliasis, clonorchiasis and paragonimiasis with 4 crude extracts of Metagonimus yokogawai (metacercariae), adults of Fasciola hepatica, Clonorchis sinensis and Paragonimus westermani. By ELISA, 10 of 11 metagonimiasis sera showed the highest absorbance (abs.) to the homologous antigen. Cross reactions to M.
yokogawai antigen occurred most frequently in clonorchiasis sera. The antigenic protein fractions in M. yokogawai metacercarial extract were observed by SDS-PAGE/immunoblot using patients and control sera together with experimental cat sera. Out of 14 protein bands in the extract, 11 bands were reacting. Cross reacting bands to other trematodiasis sera were frequently observed. Of the reacting bands, 66 and 22 kDa proteins were recognized as specific for metagonimiasis.

Specific antibody test in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is still the main mode of serological diagnosis of cysticercosis. Of different techniques of antibody test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (micro-ELISA) has widely been applied. This study was undertaken to observe whether diagnostic capability can be improved by applying more sensitive techniques such as Protein A-ELISA and avidin biotin complex ELISA (ABC-ELISA). When evaluated using 115 sera of human cysticercosis, the antibody positive rates were not significantly improved in Protein A-ELISA (82.6%) and in ABC-ELISA (86.1%) than in micro-ELISA (81.7%). The specificities, evaluated in 165 sera from other diseases and normal controls, were significantly improved (88.5% by micro-ELISA, 93.3% by Protein A-ELISA and 93.8% by ABC-ELISA). Antibody levels (absorbance, abs.) in individual serum were correlated well (r = 0.83-0.86) each other. An actual benefit of Protein A-ELISA and ABC-ELISA was that they needed smaller amount of test sample.

We tried to reveal the prevalence rates of the head louse infestation in school children in Kangwon-do, Korea in December 1990. A total of 912 children in four primary schools was examined. The positive rate for adults and/or nits of Pediculus humanus capitis was 37.2%. One school was followed-up without specific intervention. There was no significant change of the prevalence rate 6 months after the first examination from 66.0% to 57.3%. We could see the persistent infestation rate if there was no intervention. We are emphasizing the significance of worm positive rate because it represents the potentiality of active transmission.

A 43-year-old Korean woman with biliary ascariasis accompanied by cholelithiasis is reported. Her chief complaints were abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. She had the past history of several attacks of abdominal pain in her childhood. Biliary stones were recovered from the left hepatic duct after cholecystectomy, which contained degenerated cuticle or body wall, and numerous eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides. It is strongly suggested that the biliary stones were formed from the dead Ascaris worm(s).
This is a rare case of biliary ascariasis during the recent 5 years in Korea.
