In Thailand, five species of Acanthosaura have been recorded so far, including armata from the southern region, A. cardamomensis eastern crucigera western lepidogaster northern region and phuketensis Phuket Island south-western region. However, comprehensive studies diversity patterns distribution are still lacking in some areas need further information for designating special conservation importance nature protection planning Thailand. aurantiacrista is a new long-horned lizard genus It...
DNA barcodes of mitochondrial COI and Cytb genes were constructed from 54 specimens 16 species for identification. Intra- interspecific sequence divergence the gene (10 times) was greater than that (4 times), which suggests former may be a better marker latter delimitation in snakes. The barcode cut-off scores differed by more 3% between most species, minimum maximum intraspecific divergence. Clustering analysis indicated fell into monophyletic clades. These results suggest these could...
We describe a colorful and distinctively patterned, karst-dwelling pitviper, Trimeresurus kuiburi sp. nov., from the isolated, coastal massif of Khao Sam Roi Yot in Kui Buri District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, northern Peninsular Thailand. The new species, member ‘Cryptelytrops group’ sensu Malhotra & Thorpe (2004) morphologically genetically allied to kanburiensis T. venustus, differs all pitviper taxa by combination red/purple bands on green dorsum; white concave suborbital stripe...
Abstract Despite recent progress in our understanding of diversity within the genus Trimeresurus Lacépède, 1804, subgenus Popeia Malhotra & Thorpe, 2004, distributed across most parts East and Southeast Asia, remains taxonomically challenging. We applied an integrative taxonomic approach including analyses morphological data four mitochondrial genes (12S 16S rRNA, cytochrome b , NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4), along with examination available type material, to address longstanding...
Background — King cobras ( Ophiophagus hannah ) have been captive‐bred at Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute since 1996 to supply venom for antivenom production. Hematologic tests would be useful evaluating the health of snakes, however, basic hematologic data and morphology not described this species. Objective The purpose study was determine values evaluate light microscopic, cytochemical, electron microscopic characteristics king cobra blood cells. Methods Blood samples from 13 wild‐caught...
The monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia) is a medically important venomous snake in Southeast Asia. Its venom has been shown to vary geographically relation composition and neurotoxic activity, indicating vast diversity of the toxin genes within species. To investigate polygenic trait its locale-specific variation, we profiled compared gland transcriptomes N. kaouthia from Malaysia (NK-M) Thailand (NK-T) applying next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology.The were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq...
We describe a new species of karst-dwelling pitviper from Chumphon Province Peninsular Thailand, in the Isthmus Kra, based on morphological and molecular data (2427 bp cyt b, ND4 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes). Morphologically, Trimeresurus kraensis sp. nov. is distinguished other congeners by following combination characters: dark/bottle-green dorsum with reddish-brown or purple crossbands; pale green venter lacking dark dots; stripes present lateral sides ventrals; internasals generally...
Unlike the chromosome constitution of most snakes (2n=36), cobra karyotype shows a diploid number 38 with highly heterochromatic W and large morphologically different 2. To investigate process sex differentiation evolution between cobras, snakes, other amniotes, we constructed map Siamese (Naja kaouthia) 43 bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) derived from chicken zebra finch libraries using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique, compared it those chicken, finch, amniotes....
Abstract Surveillance for lyssaviruses was conducted among bat populations in 8 provinces Thailand. In 2002 and 2003, a total of 932 bats 11 species were captured released after serum collection. Lyssavirus infection determined by conducting virus neutralization assays on samples. Of collected samples, 538 either hemolysed or insufficient volume, which left 394 suitable analysis. These samples included the following: Pteropus lylei (n = 335), Eonycteris spelaea 45), Hipposideros armiger 13),...
Background: Envenoming by snakebite is an important public health problem in rural tropics. Venomous snake families such as Elapidae and Viperidae frequently produce severe poisoning. Anti-venoms are not available for all venomous snakes of Thailand there need more development this field. Objective: We characterized the snakes’ distribution Thailand. Method: species described details including their identification, range, extraterritorial distribution. Result: Eighteen family summarized...
Daboia siamensis (Eastern Russell's viper) is a medically important snake species found widely distributed across Southeast Asia. Envenomings by this can result in systemic coagulopathy, local tissue injury and/or renal failure. While administration of specific antivenom an effective treatment for viper envenomings, the availability of, and access to, geographically-appropriate remains problematic many rural areas. In study, we determined binding neutralizing capability antivenoms...
A new species of the gekkonid lizard genus Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827 is described on basis material collected in limestone caves at Khao Wong, Rayong Province, Thailand. It characterized by a slender body, elongate tail and digits, small number (12) rows dorsal tubercles, enlarged patch precloacal scales bearing only two pores.
