| molecular detection and treatment of tick-borne pathogens in domestic dogs in khon kaen, northeastern thailand. | we determined the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in domestic dogs using microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) techniques. a total of 303 edta blood samples were collected from domestic dogs in khon kaen province, thailand, in may 2013. microscopic observation of giemsa-stained smears and molecular diagnosis using conventional pcr were performed. infected dogs were treated with imidocarb dipropionate, a combination of imidocarb dipropionate and doxycycline, or doxycycline alone. seve ... | 2014 | 25417519 |
| high prevalence of opisthorchis viverrini infection in reservoir hosts in four districts of khon kaen province, an opisthorchiasis endemic area of thailand. | khon kaen, a northeastern province of thailand, has been considered as one of the human opisthorchiasis endemic areas with continuing high prevalence. unsuccessful eradication of the disease is probably from the culture of eating raw and undercooked fish of local residence and the parasitic persistency in animal reservoir hosts, such as cats and dogs. in cooperation with the other human opisthorchiasis control programs in an endemic area of 29 villages in ban haet, ban phai, chonnabot and muncha ... | 2011 | 21843654 |
| prevalence of opisthorchis viverrini infection in the canine and feline hosts in three villages, khon kaen province, northeastern thailand. | to determine the current reservoir status and prevalence of opisthorchis viverrini infection in endemic areas, 78 dogs and 22 cats were sampled for fecal examination in 3 villages along the chi river in khon kaen province, northeastern thailand. sex, age, color, identifiable markings, subjective body condition scores (bcs) and diet were recorded and analyzed. fecal samples were evaluated using direct smear and modified formalin-ethyl acetate fecal assays. all parasites found were identified. in ... | 2010 | 20578480 |
| enrichment culture and molecular identification of diverse bartonella species in stray dogs. | using pre-enrichment culture in bartonella alpha-proteobacteria growth medium (bapgm) followed by pcr amplification and dna sequence identification that targeted a fragment of the citrate synthase gene (glta), we provide evidence of common bartonella infections and diverse bartonella species in the blood of stray dogs from bangkok and khon kaen, thailand. the overall prevalence of all bartonella species was 31.3% (60/192), with 27.9% (31/111) and 35.8% (29/81) in the stray dogs from bangkok and ... | 2010 | 20570065 |
| a longitudinal study of seroprevalence and seroconversion of neospora caninum infection in dairy cattle in northeast thailand. | a long-term study was carried out in 11 dairy herds in the khon kaen province of northeast thailand between august 2001 and november 2004. the objective was to investigate seroprevalence dynamics of neospora caninum infection in the herds and to demonstrate patterns of seroconversion in individual cattle. each herd was visited once a year, in total four times, and sera from cattle > 3 months of age and farm dogs as well as a sample from the bulk milk were collected. all samples were analysed for ... | 2007 | 17416467 |
| a study of ectoparasites of canis lupus familiaris in mueang district, khon kaen, thailand. | we studied ectoparasites found on canis lupus familiaris sampled in five areas in mueang district, khon kaen province, thailand. the prevalence of fleas and ticks as well as their density were determined in 100 dogs that did not receive treatments. a total number of 458 ectoparasites was found corresponding to two species: 25.8% ctenocephalides canis and 74.2% rhipicephalus sanguineus. r. sanguineus was the most abundant species, and ct. canis was the only flea species found. the stages of r. sa ... | 2005 | 16438201 |
