Abstract Background Genetic markers like the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, internal transcribed spacer regions, mitochondrial protein-coding and genomes have been utilized for molecular identification of parasitic trematodes. However, challenges such as design broadly applicable primers vast number species within Digenea genetic markers’ ability to provide sufficient species-level resolution limited their utility. This study presented novel using 12S 16S rRNA genes aimed show...
Abstract Background Parasitic helminths exhibit significant diversity, complicating both morphological and molecular species identification. Moreover, no helminth-specific tool is currently available to aid in identification of using data. To address this, we developed validated a straightforward, user-friendly application named Applying Taxonomic Boundaries for Species Identification Helminths (ABIapp) R the Shiny framework. Serving as preliminary step identification, ABIapp designed assist...
Molecular advances have accelerated our understanding of nematode systematics and taxonomy. However, comparative analyzes between various genetic markers led to discrepancies in phylogenies. This study aimed evaluate the suitability using mitochondrial 12S 16S ribosomal RNA genes for molecular systematics.To as systematics, we compared them with other commonly used markers, nuclear internal transcribed spacer 1 2 regions, 18S 28S genes, cytochrome c oxidase subunit gene. After that,...
Abstract Background The closely related Angiostrongylus cantonensis and malaysiensis have been reported to coexist in Thailand share similar hosts life cycles. Recently, an angiostrongyliasis outbreak Thailand, both A. were found the cerebrospinal fluid of affected patients. Morphological similarities, overlapping distribution, shared habitats, close genetics two species can complicate accurate identification. Addressing these challenges, this study aims evaluate whether a correlation...
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the main causative agent of human neuroangiostrongyliasis, is a food-borne parasitic zoonosis, particularly in Southeast Asia and Mainland China. malaysiensis, cryptic species, has not been unequivocally identified as for angiostrongyliasis. Here, we investigated local incidence angiostrongyliasis Kalasin Province, northeastern part Thailand. Field laboratory investigations, clinical symptoms, treatment disease are also discussed. Five sera three cerebrospinal...
Next-generation sequencing technologies have accelerated the pace of helminth DNA metabarcoding research, enabling species detection in bulk community samples. However, finding suitable genetic markers with robust species-level resolution and primers targeting a broad range among parasitic helminths are some challenges faced. This study aimed to demonstrate potential use mitochondrial 12S 16S rRNA genes for (nematodes, trematodes, cestodes) metabarcoding. To robustness metabarcoding, we...
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a well-known pathogen causing eosinophilic meningitis associated with angiostrongyliasis. Humans, as accidental hosts, are infected by consuming undercooked snails containing third-stage larvae. A. malaysiensis closely related to and has been described potential human pathogen. The two species distribution was recently reported overlap in the same endemic area, particularly Indochina Peninsula. Similar morphological characteristics of larva snail-intermediate...

Human gnathostomiasis is a food-borne zoonotic helminthic infection widely reported in Latin America, Asia, and Southeast Asia. Consuming raw, or under-cooked fresh-water fish the leading cause of this infection, which clinically characterized by signs inflammation, itching sensation, irritation with migratory swelling. Neurological symptoms resulting from neurognathostomiasis vary, there scant information due to rareness patient brain samples. This study aimed demonstrate first evidence...
Abstract During a 1-year study, Trichuris adults were obtained after necropsy of Arabian camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) from slaughterhouse in Kuwait. Morphological and molecular identification was performed to confirm the identity specimens C. dromedarius. Fifteen male selected, using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, 12S ribosomal RNA, 16S RNA genes nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region. Through phylogenetic analysis, distinct groups genes, where group 1 showed...

Abstract Background The mosquito Aedes aegypti (L.) is a major vector of viral diseases like dengue fever, Zika and chikungunya. exhibits high morphological behavioral variation, some which thought to be epidemiological significance. Globally distributed domestic Ae. have been traditionally grouped into (i) the very pale variety queenslandensis (ii) type form. Because two color forms co-occur across most their range, there interest in understanding how freely they interbreed. This knowledge...
