Surveys on spider fauna have been carried out to know the seasonal change, breeding season, habitats and role as predators of pest insects in a cattle barn and surroundings in Saga Prefecture during a period from April to October in 1968. In total, spiders observed were 53 species belonging to 46 genera of 22 families among which seven species were dominant, namely Oecobius annulipes, Theridion tepidariorum, Neoscona nautica, Nephilia clavata, Agelena limbata, Pardosa T-insignata and Oxyopes sertatus. The maximum number of spider species was recorded in June; 47 species. The preys by web-spiders were shown to be mainly the species of Diptera. The total number of preys recorded were 283 Nematoceras, 411 Bracyceras and 306 of other insects. Especially, the preys of spiders were the species of Suborder Tipulidae, Chironomidae and Muscidae (Diptera). The species of the order Nematocera were trapped by the viscid lines of the webspider, Argiopidae, especially the genus Aranea, and the species of the order Brachycera were killed mostly by web-spiders and some by hunting spiders.

A study was made on the predatory responses of spiders to te house fly, Musca domestica vicina, which is an important household pest. In this experiment, 123 spider species belonging to 28 families were used in total. The prey flies were captured by 91 species belonging to 20 families. Among them, 41 species (14 families, 26 genera) were recognized as the useful natural enemies because of their efficiency in capturing flies and abundance in nature. The main families capturing the flies were found to be the following three; Argiopidae, Salticidae and Agelenidae. A series of experiments was conducted to observe the feeding behaviour of the following four species; Heteropoda venatoria, Tegenaria domestica, Plexippus paykulli and Theridion tepidariorum. P. paykulli captured all 20 flies put in a cage for a seven day period. However, H. venatoria captured 15 flies out of 20 for only three day period and showed no feeding behavior after. The mean number of daily capture was 4 or 5 flies for both T. tepidariorum and P. paykulli regardless of the prey density. Whereas, the others showed the increased number of capture according to the increase of prey density. H. venatoria prefered to catch cockroaches rather than flies but P. paykulli captured only flies.

The main endemic areas of schistosomiasis japonica in Japan were three sites in Yamanashi Prefecture, Hiroshima Prefecture and Fukuoka/Saga Prefectures, and ubiquity of distribution is governed by the intermediate host Oncomelania nosophora. The presenter has to date, undertaken to clarify these factors that govern distribution through the implementation of local surveys and breeding experiments. In Japan, numerous direct and indirect eradication measures were implemented immediately after the discovery of O. nosophora. These measures resulted in the declaration of safety being made in relation to the Kofu Basin in 1996, and in Japan, schistosomiasis was thought to have ended. However, since O. nosophora still inhabit the Kofu Basin, etc. the monitoring of habitation status is important. Consequently, with regards to the Kofu Basin, working with habitation density distribution maps from the end of the 1960s and around 2000, GIS was used to clarify the range of distribution and changes in habitation density. From Japan's satellite images, paddy fields were isolated, and by combining the range of risk areas with various maps, the areas that should be monitored for O. nosophora were isolated. We are currently establishing more effective monitoring systems by implementing local surveys using GPS remote sensing using satellite images.

The house dust mite has been incriminated as a major allergen of house dust in respiratory allergic diseases. Surveys were undertaken to study the mite fauna in house dusts collected from the residence of asthmatic as well as of non-asthmatic children living in and around Tokyo. House dusts were collected by electric sweeper for a week and stored in a deepfreezer until the observation. Mites were isolated from the fine dust caught on a 200 mesh sieve by flotation and centrifugation method with Darling's solution (equal volume of glycerin and saturated sodium chloride solution). Of 24 samples collected in summer, number of mites varied greatly and the average number was 499 in 0.5g of fine dust or 133 per square meter of floor. As to the mite fauna, Pyroglyphidae constituted 85%, Tyroglyphinae 3.1%, Glycyphaginae 1.3%, Cheyletidae 2.8%, Tarsonemidae 0.7%, Mesostigmata 1.3%, and Oribatei 4.4%. Among Pyroglyphid mites, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus constituted 36% and D. farinae 39% but no significant difference was noted statistically as to the dominancy between the two. Of 9 cases, seasonal change of mite fauna was studied. The number of mites decreased in winter but no statistical difference was found among seasons. Neither the changes in dominant species were noted. Eleven control dust samples were collected from houses without asthmatic patients but no significant difference was noted in number of mites or density per square meter from those observed in the residences of asthmatic children. Mite fauna was also similar to that in the asthmatic houses.

Blood-sucking insects have bio-active substances in the salivary glands. These substances have activities on host blood coagulation system, hemostasis and blood vessel. Recently many of those molecules were isolated and characterized, and some of their genes have been cloned. We extracted and purified multiple hemoproteins from the salivary glands of reduviid bug, Rhodnius prolixus, and the cDNA of these proteins were cloned. We clarified that one of these proteins with a molecular weight of approximately 20,000 (designated as Prolixin-S) is not only an anticoagulant that inhibits an intrinsic coagulation factor (IX/IXa), but also a relaxant of vascular smooth muscle. We found that Prolixin-S binds with the smooth muscle relaxant nitric oxide NO that is synthesized in the salivary glands, and is injected into host during blood sucking, then release NO and relaxes the host blood vessel. That is, Prolixin-S reversibly binds with NO and function as a NO carrier.

The distribution of larvae of Hirosia iyoensis was surveyed at the forest floor along a small branch of the Oyabe River of Toyama Prefecture. A total of 129H. iyoensis larvae was collected from leaf litter and soil at six different stations within 200m of the blood-sucking sites (a wide space opened at the main course of the Oyabe River) for H. iyoensis. Most of the larvae were collected within an 80m area of the blood-sucking sites. A total of 102 larvae was also collected at four stations with different altitudes (5,25,50 and 75m above the surface of the stream). The number of larvae collected tend to decrease in accordance with the elevation. This survey suggested that the breeding-places of larvae of H. iyoensis were the forest floor near the bloodsucking site of adults.

The blackflies fauna was surveyed at 68 stream sites in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, in April-May 1983. A total of 2,794 larvae and 993 pupae belonging to 20 species were collected from 61 sites in Tochigi. The predominant species were Simulium uchidai (21% of the total), S. japonicum (21%) and Prosimulium yezoense (11%). The widely distributed species were S. japonicum (56%), S. uchidai (49%), S. subcostatum (45%) and S. suzukii (30%). Six species (S. iwatense, P. yezoense, S. japonicum, S. subcostatum, S. uchidai and P. kiotoense) were collected from the low land (lower than 500m above the sea level) to the high land (higher than 1,000m).

八丈島のある地域において人が近づくと岩の突端などに無数のタテツツガムシ幼虫が現われてくるという現象が上野により見出されたが, その機構について一連の実験を行つた結果, 刺戟されない状態においてはこの虫が頂点に近い日陰で集落を作つて待機しており, 人, 鼡, 鳥などの宿主が近づくとこれを空気中の炭酸ガスの増加で感知して興奮し, 頂点にむらがつて寄生の機会を握むということが明らかになつた.本研究によつて, 当初想像された音, 光, 輻射熱, 湿度などの物理的な要因は刺戟とならず, 主として宿主の呼気にふくまれる物質が興奮を起すことが分り, 更に炭酸ガスがその主要因であることが解明された.

The final (8th) instar larvae of smoky brown cockroach (Periplaneta fuliginosa S.) were used to determine the changes in hemolymph volume, blood sugar titer, fat body and content of glycogen in the fat body during the fast with or without water supply. The results are summarized as follows. 1. The cockroaches decreased in body weight during the fast, especially when the water supply was concurrently cut off. The cockroaches died of hunger in 25 to 60 days, and water supply would not help to prolong their life. 2. In the fast which was supplied with water, the hemolymph volume increased, and the percentage of hemolymph volume based on body weight rose to 30%. If the water supply was concurrently cut off, however, the hemolymph volume gradually decreased and the percentage-based body weight declined to below 8%. However, in the early days of the fast, the blood sugar titer was kept in a normal state whether there was any water supply or not. But when the fast had continued over 8 days, the blood sugar titer gradually declined in the treatment which was supplied with water and rose in that with the water supply cut off. 3. Fat body and content of glycogen in the fat body decreased during the fast whether there was any water supply or not. The content of glycogen in normal larvae was about 11-13mg/g, but after 28 days of the fast, it declined to 1mg/g. 4. Development of the cockroaches remained stagnant during the fast. But when supplied with food and water again, even the larvae of cockroach which had fasted for 32 days revived and grew to adult.
