Over the last decade, research interest in defining how extracellular vesicles (EVs) shape cross-species communication has grown rapidly. Parasitic helminths, worm species found phyla Nematoda and Platyhelminthes, are well-recognised manipulators of host immune function physiology. Emerging evidence supports a role for helminth-derived EVs these processes highlights as an important participant cross-phylum communication. While mammalian EV field is guided by community-agreed framework...
Canine filariasis is caused by several nematode species, such as Dirofilaria immitis, repens, Brugia pahangi, malayi, and Acanthocheilonema reconditum. Zoonotic one of the world's neglected tropical diseases. Since 2000, World Health Organization (WHO) has promoted a global filarial eradication program to eliminate 2020. Apart from vector control strategies, infection reservoir hosts necessary for more effective control. In addition, many studies have reported that Wolbachia development,...
Abstract Background This study provides crucial insights into the prevalence and drug resistance patterns of strongylid gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) in goats Thailand, highlighting to albendazole levamisole. Strongylids, particularly Haemonchus sp. Trichostrongylus sp., pose a significant threat goat health. With global rise anthelmintic resistance, detection multidrug Thailand’s population is concerning, given frequent import export goats. challenges effective parasite control...
The efficacy of Piper nigrum L. fruit essential oil (EO) against Stomoxys calcitrans (stable fly), a blood-feeding fly distributed worldwide, was investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal activity EO based on contact and fumigant toxicity tests. Chemical analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that sabinene (24.41%), limonene (23.80%), β-caryophyllene (18.52%), α-pinene (10.59%) were major components. results demonstrated mortality increased with...
Background and Aim: Canine babesiosis, a tick-borne parasitic disease, is caused by the hemoprotozoa, Babesia vogeli, gibsoni. Infection with these parasites, which endemic globally, leads to life-threatening immunosuppression in dogs. The merozoites invade red blood cells (RBCs) of infected Ehrlichia canis, an intracellular bacterium that infects monocytes, transmitted same tick species (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) during consumption coinfection B. vogeli E. canis has been reported. Although...
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), is a cosmopolitan hematophagous fly of medical and veterinary importance. It widely considered major livestock pest that can cause significant economic losses. This study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal activity Citrus aurantium (L.) essential oil against S. based on contact fumigant toxicity tests. Chemical analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed dominance (93.79%) limonene in total composition. Furthermore, test results mortality...
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae), and the horse Tabanus megalops Tabanidae), are important ectoparasites of livestock in Thailand. These species affect animal health cause economic losses. This study investigated insecticidal activity Plectranthus amboinicus essential oil against S. T. through contact fumigant toxicity tests evaluated effects on these flies histopathological scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies. results test indicated that median lethal dose was...
Blood protozoan species of the genera Theileria and Babesia are known to infect both domestic wild animals. This study was carried out detect DNA in Stomoxyini flies collected Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. A total 110 including 6 species, Stomoxys calcitrans, indicus, pullus, uruma, Haematobosca sanguinolenta Haematostoma austeni, were examined by amplification against 18S rRNA gene Theileria/Babesia then PCR products sequenced for identification comparison with published sequences from...
Ixodid ticks transmit many pathogens to both animals and humans. This study was carried out detect tick-borne protozoa (Theileria Babesia) in collected from cattle the buffer zone of Sai Yok National Park, Thailand. A total 30 were examined for tick infestation. Of these, 10 (33.3%) infested with ticks. 85 identified as Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. The separated into 50 pools by sex life stage. These Theileria Babesia species polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification a fragment...
Microsporum canis is an important zoonotic fungus that causes dermatophytosis in domestic animals and their owners. Domestic cats are the primary reservoir for M. canis. Antifungal drugs frequently produce adverse effects on host animal, increasing demand novel alternative treatments derived from nature. We evaluated antifungal activity of Coleus amboinicus essential oil (CEO) ethanolic extracts (CEE) against planktonic biofilm growth. Twelve clinical isolates were identified feline...
To investigate the distribution of mosquito species in zoos and important sites migratory resident birds evaluate West Nile virus (WNV) infection species. Mosquitoes investigation was carried out bimonthly from January 2009 to December 2010 five areas birds, Thailand by using Centers for Disease Control, light traps, gravid traps. were identified, pooled into groups up 50 mosquitoes species, places time collection tested WNV viral isolation reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. A...
Emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) isolated from dogs with cutaneous and wound infections has significantly impacted veterinary medicine. This study aimed to isolate S. canine pyoderma investigate the effects ethanolic extracts Piper betle (PB), P. sarmentosum (PS), nigrum (PN) on bacterial growth biofilm formation MRSP. Of 152 isolates, 53 were identified as using polymerase chain reaction, 10 isolates (6.58%) MRSP based presence mecA. Based phenotype,...
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium cause infections primarily through foodborne transmission and remains a significant public health concern. The biofilm formation of this bacteria also contributes to their multidrug-resistant nature. Essential oils from medicinal plants are considered potential alternatives conventional antibiotics. Therefore, study assessed the antimicrobial antibiofilm activities Coleus amboinicus essential oil (EO-CA) against S. ATCC 14028. Seventeen chemical...
The mosquito-borne filarial nematode parasites Brugia pahangi and B. malayi have been proposed as potential zoonotic pathogens, with dogs cats being the main reservoir hosts. monasteries where both stray semi-domesticated animals live often serve areas humans are exposed to these reservoirs. In Thailand, prevalence of pahangi, particularly in infected monastery cats, is underreported. this study, we investigated at 24 temples Samphran district, Nakhon Pathom province, central Thailand....
