| pcr based method for identification of zoonostic brugia malayi microfilariae in domestic cats. | the survey of 326 human blood samples in the endemic area of surat thani and narathiwat, the provinces in the south of thailand, revealed that 5 of them were infected with brugia malayi. similarly, 53 feline blood samples were also investigated and found that 15 of the domestic cats were also infected with b. malayi. upon the examination of human and feline blood specimens, a pair of human and domestic cat stayed in the same house and region. the periodicities of human b. malayi and feline b. ma ... | 2002 | 12030763 |
| bionomics studies of mansonia mosquitoes inhabiting the peat swamp forest. | the present study was conducted in the years 2000-2002 to determine the bionomics of mansonia mosquitoes, vectors of nocturnally subperiodic brugia malayi, inhabiting the peat swamp forest, "phru toh daeng", narathiwat province, thailand. fifty-four species of mosquitoes belonging to 12 genera were added, for the first time, to the list of animal fauna in the peat swamp forest. mansonia mosquitoes were the most abundant (60-70%) by all collection methods and occurred throughout the year with a h ... | 2006 | 17124985 |
| a high resolution melting real time pcr for mapping of filaria infection in domestic cats living in brugian filariosis-endemic areas. | we present here a real time pcr with high resolution melting (hrm) analysis for determining the prevalence and distribution of filarial species in domestic cats residing in brugian filariosis endemic areas of narathiwat province, thailand. filarial species can be clearly distinguished in a single well using a single pair of primers. blood samples were taken from a total of 2039 domestic cats living in endemic areas. microfilariae were detected in 5.7% of the sample, while the overall prevalence ... | 2014 | 24462253 |
