| prevalence and intensity of third stage gnathostoma spinigerum larvae in swamp eels sold in three large markets in bangkok, thailand. | gnathostoma spinigerum is a common human tissue parasite in thailand. the swamp eel is the major intermediate or paratenic host for this parasite. the high prevalence of the infective third stage larvae (l3) of this parasite in the rainy season has been noted in previous studies. during june 1999 (rainy season), we performed a cross-sectional survey of the prevalence and the intensity of g. spinigerum l3s in the livers of swamp eels that were obtained from three large bangkok markets (klong toey ... | 2002 | 12971476 |
| prevalence of parasitic infections among thai patients at the king chulalongkorn memorial hospital, bangkok, thailand. | parasitic diseases are still considered to be a major public health problem. most patients with parasitic infections are asymptomatic and therefore remain undetected. asymptomatic parasitic infections are usually discovered by routine parasite examination. to determine the result of parasite examination at the parasitology unit, out patient department, king chulalongkorn memorial hospital, bangkok, thailand, the authors collected the data of individuals examined for parasite infections from june ... | 2002 | 12188445 |
| a survey of the infective larvae of gnathostoma spinigerum in swamp eels bought in a local market in bangkok, thailand. | the livers were separated from the viscera of 2738 swamp eels (monopterus alba) purchased from klong toey market, the largest market in bangkok, between june 1999 and may 2000. when these livers were digested in artificial gastric juice, 524 (19.1%) were found to be infected with the human-infective, third-stage larvae (l3) of gnathostoma spp. all the identified larvae were confirmed morphologically to be g. spinigerum. prevalence of the infection varied with season, from a high of 38.3% in sept ... | 2002 | 12080980 |
| toxocara and gnathostoma among stray canines in bangkok. | stomachs and intestines of 88 adult and 112 young stray dogs were obtained from the rabies control subdivision, bangkok, and examined especially for the presence of gnathostoma spinigerum and toxocara canis. forty-five dogs were found positive for t. canis (overall prevalence 22.5%) but none were found infected with g. spinigerum. the prevalence of t. canis in young dogs was 37.5% (42 of 112) whereas in adult dogs was only 3.4% (3 of 88). the total number of t. canis recovered from the 45 positi ... | 1998 | 10772557 |
| genetic diversity of infective larvae of gnathostoma spinigerum (nematoda: gnathostomatidae) in freshwater swamp eels from thailand. | human gnathostomiasis is a food-borne zoonosis caused by a tissue nematode of the genus gnathostoma. the disease is highly endemic in asia, including thailand. the freshwater swamp eel (monopterus albus), the second intermediate host of the gnathostome nematode, has an important role in transmitting the infection in thailand. surveys on the infective larvae of gnathostoma spinigerum based on morphological features in freshwater swamp eels have been performed continuously and reported in thailand ... | 2016 | 27890039 |
| positivity and intensity of gnathostoma spinigerum infective larvae in farmed and wild-caught swamp eels in thailand. | from july 2008 to june 2009, livers of the swamp eels (monopterus alba) were investigated for advanced third-stage larvae (al3) of gnathostoma spinigerum. results revealed that 10.2% (106/1,037) and 20.4% (78/383) of farmed eels from aranyaprathet district, sa kaeo province and those of wild-caught eels obtained from a market in min buri district of bangkok, thailand were infected, respectively. the prevalence was high during the rainy and winter seasons. the infection rate abruptly decreased in ... | 2012 | 22711921 |
