Three new species of Thinophilus Wahlberg, 1844 are described from marine sites on the Andaman Sea coasts in peninsular Thailand: T. inaequalis Samoh & Grootaert sp. nov. belonging to ‘Thinophilus simplex-group’ sensu Grootaert, 2018, plektron nov., an unplaced characterised by a long flattened apical spur hind tibia, and subapicalis spinatus-group’ 2018. New records given for following occurring apicatus chaetulosus clavatus Zhu, Yang Masunaga, 2006, evenhuisi lenachanae longicilia...
Eight new species of marine dolichopodid flies from southern Thailand belonging to the genus Thinophilus Wahlberg, 1844 are described and illustrated: boonrotpongi sp. nov., T. langkawensis minutus parmatoides parvulus spinatus spinatoides nov. variabilis A key is provided Thai-Malay Peninsula.
Bats are a significant reservoir for numerous pathogens, including
The genus Ngirhaphium Evenhuis & Grootaert, 2002 is reported for the first time from Thailand in particular mangroves on coast of Andaman Sea southern Thailand. Three species were found: N. murphyi 2002, sivasothii Grootaert Puniamoorthy, 2014 and chutamasae sp. nov. latter described illustrated a key to all four known provided. COI barcode data showed that new most closely related with genetic distance 7%. other 11 12%.
The Spillover Interface Project aims at assessing the encounter of wildlife, domestic animals, and humans along a landscape gradient from protected area to residential community, through areas reforestation agricultural land. Here, we present protocols project that combine virus screening in humans, bats, rodents dogs with camera trapping, land-use characterization, network analyses. is taking place sub-district Saen Thong (Nan Province, Thailand) collaboration local communities, District...
The long-legged fly genus Hercostomus Loew, 1857 is reported for the first time from mangrove habitats in Thailand. Two new species, H. obtusus sp. nov. and squamatus are described based on external morphology supported by NGS barcoding. Four namely, brevicornis Zhang, Yang & Grootaert, 2008, brevidigitalis lanceolatus plumatus previously known only Singapore mangroves, recorded Thailand mangroves. In addition, species distributions mapped taxonomic notes provided.
The Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are known as two families of obligate blood sucking ectoparasites bats. Recent data on nycteribiid streblid bat flies collected from 15 provinces in Thailand during 2018–2020 hereby presented with previous studies. This study recorded 26 species belonging to nine genera be associated 44 host bats species. Thirteen which, 11 nycteribiids streblids, herein for the first time. Altogether previously reported records, this paper lists a total 59 flies, 43 16 their 63
Bats are a significant reservoir for numerous pathogens, including Bartonella spp. It is one of the emerging zoonotic bacterial diseases that can be transmitted to humans and may cause various unspecific clinical manifestations. Thus, bartonellosis rarely diagnosed regarded as neglected vector-borne disease (VBD). Bat flies have been hypothesised vector in transmission pathogens among bats. They host-specific, which reduces likelihood pathogen across bat species; however, they likely...
