Abstract

This study investigated the seasonal distribution of ticks in Boeun, Chungbuk, South Korea, from 2016 to 2020. Over the five-year period, ticks were collected annually from four different sites. A total of 17,704 ticks belonging to three tick species (Haemaphysalis longicornis, Haemaphysalis flava, and Ixodes nipponensis) were collected. H. longicornis was the dominant species across all four sites with the highest density of 68.40% of the total collected specimens, followed by H. flava (3.53%) and I. nipponensis (0.06%). The larvae of unidentified species were also collected: 11.81 T.I. (28.01%). The H. longicornis population peaked during the spring season (May-June), whereas the larval population peaked during August and September. H. longicornis was collected the most from four sites (coniferous forest, broad-leaf forest, mountain path, and copse), with the exception of the larvae, which was collected the most in grassland and grave. H. flava was collected from all sites, but in a small proportion. The SFTS virus was not found in any of the 828 pools of ticks during 2016-2020. Based on the results of this study, the continuous surveillance of the tick population is recommended to mitigate the spread of diseases by these vectors.

본 연구는 2016년부터 2020년까지 충북 보은지역의 참진드기류의 시기별 분포를 조사하였다. 참진드기류는 다양한 환경(매년 4지점)에서 채집하였고, 5년 동안 충북 보은지역에서 채집된 참진드기류는 2속 3종으로 작은소피참진드기(Haemaphysalis longicornis), 개피참진드기(Haemaphysalis flava), 일본참진드기(Ixodes nipponensis)로 총 17,704개체의 참진드기가 채집되었다. 작은소피참진드기는 가장 많은 28.83 T.I. (68.40%) 값을 보였고, 개피참진드기 1.49 T.I. (3.53%), 일본참진드기 0.02 T.I. (0.06%)순으로 채집되었고 종 동정이 되지 않는 유충은 11.81 T.I. (28.01%)로 조사되었다. 우점을 차지하는 작은소피참진드기는 봄철 (5-6월)에, 유충은 8월과 9월에 가장 많은 수가 채집되었다. 대부분의 채집지에서 작은소피참진드기가 가장 많이 채집되었고 무덤과 초지에서만 유충이 많이 채집되었다. 개피참진드기는 충북 보은지역에서 채집된 개체수는 적지만 모든 채집지에서 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 5년간 채집된 3종의 참진드기류에 대하여 총 828 pools의 SFTS 감염률을 조사한 결과 모두 음성으로 병원체 감염이 확인되지 않았다.
