| neospora caninum seroprevalence in dairy cattle in central thailand. | the seroprevalence, in dairy cattle, of antibodies to neospora caninum, the relationship between seropositivity and age (heifer versus cow), the relationship of herd infection with herd size and the relationship of herd infection with the presence of dogs on the farm were studied. the study involved 549 cows and 82 dogs in 59 dairy herds in nakhon pathom, thailand. a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (celisa) with nc-specific monoclonal antibody was used to detect the nc antibodies i ... | 2004 | 15135865 |
| Risk factors of Neospora caninum infection in dogs and cats in dairy farms in Western Thailand. | The objectives of this study were to investigate the risk factors of Neospora caninum infection in dogs and cats found in dairy herds in western Thailand. A case-control study was conducted in dairy herds in three western provinces including Nakhon Pathom, Ratchaburi and Kanchanaburi. Blood samples of pets from 14 positive dairy herds and 26 herds from negative neighbouring farms which were randomly selected, in total blood samples from dogs and cats from 40 herds were collected and examined for ... | 2011 | 22193939 |
| molecular evidence for novel tick-associated spotted fever group rickettsiae from thailand. | ticks are of considerable medical and veterinary importance because they directly harm the host through their feeding action and indirectly through vectoring many bacterial pathogens. despite many ticks being known from thailand, very little is known about the bacteria they may harbor. we report here the results of a survey of tick-associated bacteria in thailand. a total of 334 individuals representing 14 species of ticks in five genera were collected from 10 locations in thailand and were exam ... | 2003 | 12693853 |
| gnathostoma infection in nakhon nayok and prachin buri, central thailand. | gnathostoma infection in nakhon nayok and prachin buri provinces, central thailand, was investigated. the prevalence and intensity of infection of swamp eels were determined; dog fecal samples and fresh-water copepods were examined for evidence of infection. the overall prevalence of eel infection was 38.1% (117/307) in nakhon nayok and 24.0% (74/308) in prachin buri--the former rate being significantly higher than the latter. most of the positive nalkhon nayok eels (53.8%) harbored only 1-9 lar ... | 2002 | 12693579 |
| blood feeding patterns of aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus in thailand. | aedes aegypti (l.) and aedes albopictus (skuse) were collected with aspirators from mae sot, nakhon sawan, nakhon ratchasima, surat thani, and phatthalung study sites in thailand from july 2003 though april 2004. the sandwich-b enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to analyze 1,021 blood-fed specimens. ae. aegypti almost exclusively fed on humans (99%, 658/664) in single host species, and 97% (86/88) of multiple-host bloodmeals included at least one human host. a low frequency of other host ... | 2005 | 16363170 |
