Urinary schistosomiasis is caused by the blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium, which predominantly found in Africa. The freshwater snail Bulinus globosus its main intermediate host. species that make up B. group are genetically complex, and their taxonomic status remains controversial. Genetic variation, heterozygosity, DNA recombination were examined using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) intron 3 region of arginine kinase gene (AkInt3). A total 81 snails collected from...
Paragonimiasis, caused by infection with lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus, remains a significant public health concern in Southeast Asia. In Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), information on distribution and genetic diversity Paragonimus species is limited. This study investigated metacercariae freshwater (mountain) crabs analyzed their phylogenetic relationships. Thirty-six (Indochinamon sp.) were received from Xiang Ngeun Pak Ou Luang Prabang Province, northern PDR. Partial...
Epigenetic modulation plays a crucial role in neuroprotection by regulating cellular responses to stress, inflammation, and oxidative damage, particularly neurodegenerative diseases. Recognizing the therapeutic potential of epigenetic regulators, this study investigated synergistic neuroprotective effects curcumin-enriched turmeric extract combined with L-ascorbic acid, focusing on its pathways stress-induced neuronal damage. SH-SY5Y cells were treated combination at 20 40 µg/mL,...
This study investigates the prevalence of parasitic helminths in free-ranging domestic cats and dogs near Chi River natural reservoirs Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand. Fecal samples from 39 148 were analyzed using a modified formalin-ether concentration technique (FECT). The overall helminth infections was 64.1% 51.4% dogs. Common parasites detected including soil-transmitted species like Ancylostoma sp. (hookworm), Toxocara spp., Strongyloides sp., as well foodborne such Taenia Hymenolepis...
Background Amebic liver abscess (ALA), caused by an extraintestinal invasion of the virulent protozoan Entamoeba histolytica , is important among parasitic causes morbidity and mortality, especially in tropics. Clinical symptoms, medical-imaging abnormalities serological tests are normally made for supportive diagnosis. Serum-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been conventionally used diagnosing ALA but time-consuming sophisticated equipment required. Therefore, we sought to...
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a zoonotic nematode parasite causing human eosinophilic meningitis (or meningoencephalitis) worldwide. A closely related species, malaysiensis, might also be pathogen. Larvae were obtained from land snails in Lao PDR, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand. We sequenced two nuclear gene regions (nuclear ribosomal ITS2 SSU rRNA) portion of one mitochondrial (COI) these larvae. A. malaysiensis identified. This the first report molecular identification species Cambodia...
Two important helminths, Strongyloides stercoralis (an intestinal roundworm) and Opisthorchis viverrini (a liver fluke), are endemic in northeast Thailand. There have been national campaigns place aimed at the control eradication of soil-transmitted helminthiasis opisthorchiasis Thailand for several decades. However, these helminths still exist raise concerns regarding public health. This study to evaluate current prevalence S. O. infections rural communities The data from this will be...
DNA-sequencing was performed on the V3-V4 regions of 16S rRNA genes to investigate microbial diversity five samples fermented freshwater fish (pla-ra) from three provinces in northeastern Thailand. The had salt concentrations ranging 7 10%, pH values 4.83 7.15, and D-/L-lactic acid 90 450 mg/l. A total 598 operational taxonomic units were annotated at various ranks based SILVA Database. lactic-acid halophilic genera Tetragenococcus, Halanaerobium Lactobacillus among dominant taxa bacteria....
Human trichostrongylosis has been reported in Thailand. Recent reports Lao People's Democratic Republic concerning species identification urged us to investigate distribution We report eight human cases Thailand and that were found be infected by Trichostrongylus colubriformis T. axei identified confirmed molecular techniques. This evidence is the first of infection Infection these two was apparently epidemic areas. It necessary proceed with more comprehensive veterinary epidemiologic...
Background Human opisthorchiasis is a dangerous infectious chronic disease distributed in many Asian areas the water-basins of large rivers, Siberia, and Europe. The gold standard for human laboratory diagnosis routine examination Opisthorchis spp. eggs under microscope. Manual detection laborious, time-consuming, dependent on microscopist’s abilities expertise. Automatic screening with deep learning techniques useful diagnostic aid. Methods Herein, we propose convolutional neural network...
The 2 principal species of hookworms infecting humans are Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale. Case studies on zoonotic hookworm infections with ceylanicum and/or caninum known mainly from Asian countries. Of these species, only A. can develop to adulthood in humans. In the present study, we report a molecular-based survey human southern northeastern Thailand. Thirty larval samples were obtained fecal agar plate cultures 10 patients northeastren Thailand 20 Partial ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2...
Human gnathostomiasis is a serious tropical disease, which often overlooked. There an urgent need to improve tools aid the potential diagnosis of disease in endemic regions. To overcome this, we produced immunochromatographic test (ICT) kit for rapid and simple human gnathostomiasis. The recombinant protein (named rGslic18) was applied ICT as antigen. diagnostic value evaluated using serum samples from parasitologically proven clinically suspected patients, healthy volunteers patients with...
Abstract Human strongyloidiasis is a deleterious gastrointestinal disease mainly caused by Strongyloides stercoralis infection. We aimed to study the possible transmission of S. between humans and pet animals. isolated from domestic dogs in same rural community north-east Thailand compared nucleotide sequences derived worms using portions mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 ( cox 1) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) genes. Twenty-eight rRNA gene were obtained n = 23) 5), identical with...
Chronic human liver fluke infections caused by Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis can last for decades cause biliary diseases, including life-threatening pathology prior to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). CCA generally has a poor prognosis. Serological diagnosis support parasitological examination in diagnosing disease screening the risk of CCA. Here, we present an improved innovative lateral flow immunochromatographic test (ICT) kit that uses whole-blood samples (WBS) rather than...
Bacterial content in mosquito larvae and adults is altered by dynamic interactions during life varies substantially variety composition depending on biology ecology. This study aimed to identify the microbiota Aedes aegypti albopictus water from their breeding sites northeastern Thailand, a dengue-endemic area. diversity field-collected aquatic subsequently emerged of both species several locations were examined. The was characterized based analysis DNA sequences V3-V4 region 16S rRNA gene...
