| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has examined remains and sedimentary DNA derived from plankton and its parasite reserved in the sediment core at Lake Biwa, which is one of the ancient lakes in the world, to clarify interactions between a host plankton and its parasite in the past century under changing environmental conditions. As a result, big changes were detected in host plankton community at the 1970s and at around after 2010 connecting to the present. The changes were attributed to nutrient and meteorological conditions in addition to the trophic coupling such as top down-control. Also, reconstructed viral community based on sedimentary DNA temporally changed. The results indicate that biological shifts in Lake Biwa has been processing due to changes in environmental condition and related to food web dynamics probably partly due to anthropogenic control.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
感染症の動向を予測する上で、長期にわたる宿主・寄生者の動態把握が不可欠であるが、実際に野外での長期観測例は殆どない。本研究により復元された琵琶湖での宿主と寄生者の長期動態の復元は、自然環境下で気候条件や人間活動の活発化により、両者がどのように推移してきたのかを示したものである。今後さらに研究を進展させ両者の動態がより明らかになれば、感染症の動向を予測する際の手がかりとして稀有な知見となるであろう。
