Abstract

곤충병원성선충, <TEX>$Steinernema$</TEX> <TEX>$arenarium$</TEX> 유충의 체장은 724 to 1408 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>로 변이가 크다. 따라서 <TEX>$S.$</TEX> <TEX>$arenarium$</TEX>의 수확시기와 침입태 유충의 체장이 병원성과 발육 및 증식에 미치는 영향을 꿀벌부채명나방(<TEX>$Galleria$</TEX> <TEX>$mellonella$</TEX>) 노숙유충을 대상으로 조사하였다. <TEX>$S.$</TEX> <TEX>$arenarium$</TEX> 침입태 유충의 수확시기는 병원성에 영향을 미쳐 10일째에 수확한 것이 3일째 수확한 것에 비하여 병원성이 높았다. 10일째에 수확한 선충은 선충의 체장에 관계없이 처리 48시간 후에 꿀벌부채명나방 유충을 100% 치사시켰으나 3일째 수확한 체장이 작은 집단 접종 시에는 40%의 치사율을 보였으며 체장이 큰 집단은 18%의 치사율을 보였다. 기주 체내에 정착한 선충의 수도 침입태 유충의 체장에 따라 차이가 있었다. 3일째 수확한 선충들 중 체장이 작은 집단과 큰 집단, 혼합 집단 접종 시 기주에 정착한 선충 수는 각각 1.8, 3.3, 3.2마리였으며 10일째 수확한 선충들은 각각 5.3, 7.4, 7.6마리가 정착하였다. 3일째 수확한 유충의 체장이 작은 집단과 큰 집단을 구분하여 처리하였을 때 기주 체내의 암컷 체장은 각각 7,070.5 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>와 7,893.9 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>였고, 수컷 체장은 각각 1,460.5 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>와 1,688.2 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>였다. 10일째 수확한 체장이 작은 집단과 큰 집단 접종 시에는 기주 체내에서 성숙한 암컷의 체장은 각각 7,573.6 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>와 8,305.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>였고, 수컷의 체장은 1,733.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>와 1,794.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>였다. 수확시기와 접종 선충의 체장은 침입태 유충의 체장과 증식수에 영향을 미치지 않았다. The size of infective <TEX>$Steinernema$</TEX> <TEX>$arenarium$</TEX> juveniles is variable and ranges from 724 to 1408 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX>. Effects of harvest time and infective juvenile size on pathogenicity, development, and reproduction were examined in the last instar of the great wax moth, <TEX>$Galleria$</TEX> <TEX>$mellonella$</TEX>. Harvest time of infective juveniles (IJs) of <TEX>$S.$</TEX> <TEX>$arenarium$</TEX> affected pathogenicity. IJs harvested at the 10th day from trapping were more pathogenic than those harvested the 3rd day from trapping. Mortality of <TEX>$G$</TEX>. mellonella also depending on harvest time, <TEX>$i.e$</TEX>, 100% died within 48h when IJs were harvested at the 10th day, without relation to size. However, mortality was 40% in the small size group (SSG) compared with 18% in the large size group (LSG) within 48h when IJs were harvested at the 3rd day. Establishment of <TEX>$S.$</TEX> <TEX>$arenarium$</TEX> within the host was different depending on IJ size. The number of established IJs was 1.8 in the SSG, 3.3 in the LSG, and 3.2 in the mixed size group (MSG) when IJs were harvested at the 3rd day, and 5.3 in the SSG, 7.4 in the LSG, and 7.6 in the MSG when IJs were harvested at the 10th day. The length of the female adult was 7,070.5 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the SSG and 7,893.9 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the LSG and that of the male was 1,460.5 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the SSG and 1,688.2 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the LSG when IJs were harvested at the 3rd day. The length of the female adult was 7,573.6 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the SSG and 8,305.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the LSG and that of the male adult was 1,733.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the SSG and 1,794.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> in the LSG when IJs were harvested at the 10th day. Harvest time and size of IJs did not influence numbers of progeny or size of IJS.
