| plaque reduction neutralization antibody test does not accurately predict protection against dengue infection in ratchaburi cohort, thailand. | the plaque reduction neutralization test (prnt) is currently the best and most widely accepted approach to measuring virus-neutralizing and protective antibodies to dengue virus, and in assessing the immunogenicity of a dengue vaccine. however, the correlation between presence of dengue-neutralizing antibody and protection from infection is not absolute. | 2014 | 24620925 |
| evidence to support karyotypic variation of the mosquito, anopheles peditaeniatus in thailand. | eight isoline colonies of anopheles peditaeniatus leicester (diptera: culicidae) were established from wild-caught females collected from buffalo-baited traps at 8 localities in thailand. they showed 2 types of x (x(2), x(3)) and 4 types of y (y(2), y(3), y(4), y(5)) chromosomes based on the number and amount of major block(s) of heterochromatin present in the heterochromatic arm, and were tentatively designated as forms b (x(2), x(3), y(2)), c (x(3), y(3)), d (x(3), y(4)) and e (x(2), x(3), y(5 ... | 0 | 21521137 |
| healthcare workers' knowledge and practices regarding expanded program on immunization in kalasin, thailand. | primary vaccine failures can occur after high immunization coverage has been achieved. healthcare workers' knowledge and practices are influential factors in preventing vaccine failures. adequate knowledge and practices in the cold chain system are important to keep potency of vaccines and effectiveness of immunization. this cross-sectional study was performed to assess healthcare workers' knowledge and practices regarding an expanded program on immunization and the cold chain system in kalasin, ... | 0 | 21928699 |
| recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid diagnostics of dengue infection. | over 2.5 billion people are exposed to the risk of contracting dengue fever (df). early diagnosis of df helps to diminish its burden on public health. real-time reverse transcription polymerase amplification assays (rt-pcr) are the standard method for molecular detection of the dengue virus (denv). real-time rt-pcr analysis is not suitable for on-site screening since mobile devices are large, expensive, and complex. in this study, two rt-recombinase polymerase amplification (rt-rpa) assays were ... | 2015 | 26075598 |
| improving dengue virus capture rates in humans and vectors in kamphaeng phet province, thailand, using an enhanced spatiotemporal surveillance strategy. | dengue is of public health importance in tropical and sub-tropical regions. dengue virus (denv) transmission dynamics was studied in kamphaeng phet province, thailand, using an enhanced spatiotemporal surveillance of 93 hospitalized subjects with confirmed dengue (initiates) and associated cluster individuals (associates) with entomologic sampling. a total of 438 associates were enrolled from 208 houses with household members with a history of fever, located within a 200-m radius of an initiate ... | 2015 | 25986580 |
| geographical structure of dengue transmission and its determinants in thailand. | expansion of dengue has been attributed to urbanization. to test this concept, we examined dengue transmission intensities in thailand. we used the inverse of mean age of dengue haemorrhagic fever (dhf) cases as a surrogate of dengue transmission intensity (or force of infection). the transmission intensity in bangkok decreased rapidly since the mid-1990s, to levels that are currently lower than in other regions. regression analysis revealed that transmission intensity is highest in the northeas ... | 2007 | 17624231 |
| identification of clinical factors associated with severe dengue among thai adults: a prospective study. | dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease in humans. recently, there has been an epidemic shift of dengue from mainly affecting children to affecting more adults with increased severity. however, clinical factors associated with severe dengue in adults have varied widely between studies. we aimed to identify the clinical factors associated with the development of severe dengue according to the world health organization (who)'s 2009 definition. | 2015 | 26468084 |
| dengue virus neutralizing antibody levels associated with protection from infection in thai cluster studies. | long-term homologous and temporary heterologous protection from dengue virus (denv) infection may be mediated by neutralizing antibodies. however, neutralizing antibody titers (nts) have not been clearly associated with protection from infection. | 2014 | 25329173 |
| maintaining vaccine delivery following the introduction of the rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines in thailand. | although the substantial burdens of rotavirus and pneumococcal disease have motivated many countries to consider introducing the rotavirus vaccine (rv) and heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (pcv-7) to their national immunization programs (epis), these new vaccines could affect the countries' vaccine supply chains (i.e., the series of steps required to get a vaccine from their manufacturers to patients). we developed detailed computational models of the trang province, thailand, vaccine ... | 2011 | 21931805 |
| serological response to the 2009 pandemic influenza a (h1n1) virus for disease diagnosis and estimating the infection rate in thai population. | individuals infected with the 2009 pandemic virus a(h1n1) developed serological response which can be measured by hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) and microneutralization (micront) assays. | 2011 | 21283570 |
