JOURNAL OPEN ACCESS"Mosquito allergy" is a unique disease characterized by intense local skin symptoms and high fever following mosquito bites, which was reported in Japan in 1969 for the first time. At first, the unique symptoms of this disease were at-tractive to many physicians and immunologists. Thereafter, since many cases had been accumulated, the fact that most of the patients with "mosquito allergy" had died of hematological malignancies, such as malignant histiocytosis, malignant lymphoma and leukemia, with the years appeared in 1980s. We were interested in this disease from the virological and hematological point of view. Through the collaborative studies of 5 cases, we proved that "mosquito allergy" was the primary manifestation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated natural killer (NK) cell leukemia /lymphoma in the end of 1990s. As "mosquito allergy" is not an allergic disease, it have been called hypersensitivity to mosquito bites (HMB). Then we proposed HMB-EBV-NK (HEN) disease as one of EBV-associated lymphoproliferative diseases in order to find the patients who would suffer from hematological malignancies in the early stage of their disease.View full abstractDownload PDF (3989K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSMimomyia (Ingramia) mogii is described as a new species from Flores Island, Indonesia. The larvae breed in water held by plants such as banana leaf sheaths, cut bamboos, taro leaf axils, and occasionally drum containers. The adults, male genitalia, pupa and larva are described in detail, photographed and illustrated, and keys to the Oriental species of the subgenus Ingramia are provided.View full abstractDownload PDF (3708K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSIn the present study, we attempted to detect Rlckettsia japonica DNA from ixodid ticks by the PCR technique. The seasonal occurrence of ixodid ticks was also examined in the endemic area of Japanese spotted fever. Ixodid ticks were collected at 14 sites, Futagawa (two sites), Uto, Arahira, Kamitakakuma (two sites), Onohara, Yadorihara (four sites) and Kamikawa (three sites), on the Osumi Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture in May and June 2001, and also collected additionally at Onohara and Kamikawa in May 2002. A total of 767 ixodid ticks was collected. They were identified as three genera and eight species as follows: Haemaphysalis flava, H. formosensis, H. longicornis, H. hystricis, Ixodes ovatus, I. nipponensis, I. turdus, and Amblyomma testudinarium. H. flava and H. longicornis seemed to be the dominant species in the survey areas. With a primer pair Rl, R2, which amplifies the genomic DNA from the spotted fever group rickettsiae, an approximately 540 bp fragment was amplified from 15 samples of six sites; H. flava (seven samples), H. longicornis (three samples), H. hystricis (four samples) and A. testudinarium (one sample). With a primer pair Rj5, RjlO, which amplifies the genomic DNA only from R. japonica, a 357 bp fragment was amplified from four samples of three sites; H. flava (three samples) and H. hystricis (one sample). H. flava seems to be the most important vector tick for Japanese spotted fever in Kagoshima Prefecture. Seasonal occurrence of the ixodid population was surveyed at three sites, Takatoge, Onohara and Komagahara from May 2002 to April 2003. H. flava nymphs were collected throughout the year, and a large number of nymphs was collected in spring. Adults showed a similar fluctuation pattern to the nymphal pattern. A large number of adults was collected from February to April but not in August and September.View full abstractDownload PDF (3136K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSIn order to establish measures to control houseflies (Musca domestica L.) which break out from organic fertilizers applied in horticulture, a series of basic studies on their physiology and/or ecology was carried out. From these studies, it was found that their reactions to chemicals were different depending on the developmental stage. One finding was that, while eggs were deposited preferably, the growths of the larvae were inhibited in each media containing sucrose. Furthermore, sucrose caused repellent reaction to the larvae at early to middle stage and exhibited a tendency of lethal action to the larvae at the middle to prepupal stage. Based on these results, the effects of sucrose on the larvae of houseflies were further investigated. The results indicated that the larvae at the middle stage which were contact-treated with 2 M sucrose for 2 hours suffered 96.0±5.2% mortality before pupation. While 93.8% of the tested population died between 24 and 60 hours after treatment, the timing was almost coincident with that of normal pupation for the untreated population. On the other hand, when the applied sucrose was washed off from the body surface immediately after the contact treatment, the larvae grew normally as untreated larvae did. The observed growth-inhibitory effects of sucrose were considered to be due to its contact with the body surface of the larvae. It was also considered that sucrose might influence the physiological activities of pupation induced by internal materials such as molting hormone at their prepupal stage.View full abstractDownload PDF (90052K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSPrecise description of life cycles based on the checking of ovaries of wild-caught flies revealed that Thricops diaphanus spends a uni-voltine life cycle at highlands in central Japan, though this species has been known to spend multi-voltine life cycles in Europe. In the collections of the flies at different altitude, seasonal migrations between highlands and lowlands of T. diaphanus were not observed. These facts suggest that T. diaphanus is a glacial relict species. Seasonal modification of the vertical microdistribution pattern of this species in subalpine coniferous forests seems to be related with the distribution of fungi in such forests.View full abstractDownload PDF (2526K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSA semi-practical test was conducted in order to evaluate the suppression effect of a total release aerosol (TRA) containing a newly developed acaricide, amidoflumet, on the house dust mite, Dermatophagoides farinae Hughes. Three pieces of carpet sized 80 × 80 cm with harbored mites were maintained by distinct procedures: (1) TRA treatment with weekly vacuuming (Chemical treatment), (2) weekly vacuuming only without TRA (Control A) and (3) 5 vacuumings a week without TRA (Control B). The number of live mites and the mite allergen levels (Der f I and Der f II) obtained from 25 cm^2 area of the carpets were compared with up to 57 days posttreatment. The number of live mites in the chemical treatment carpet was reduced to 1% of the pretreatment level at day 8 and was maintained at the low level (< 5 living mites/25 cm^2) until day 43. The quantities of Der f I and Der f II in the chemical treatment carpet decreased to 45% and 55% of the pretreatment level, respectively. For the control A carpet, the number of live mites and the allergen levels kept increasing for 57 days, and the number of live mites, Der f I and Der f II at day 57 reached 36, 14 and 25 times more than the day 0 levels, respectively. In the contol B carpet, the numbers of live mite between day8 and day 22 were greater than that of day 0. The mite allergen levels of the control B fluctuated until day 22 and then decreased to 6% (Der f I) or 4% (Der f II)of the day 0 levels. This was due to less absolute weight of the collected dust in the control B. Consequently, a treatment of the amidoflumet TRA combined with weekly vacuum cleaning was considered to be a more effective strategy than frequent cleaning (5 times/week) alone for the house dust mite and mite allergen. It was also suggested that more frequent cleanings with a TRA treatment would enhance the allergen avoidance effect.View full abstractDownload PDF (2714K) -
