| dengue vector mosquitos at a tourist attraction, ko samui, in 1995. | on ko samui, thailand there were two epidemics of dengue hemorrhagic fever (dhf) in 1966 and 1967, followed by endemics up to 1994. aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus were the vectors. from january to july 1995, 51 cases of dhf were reported, out of these were many foreigners who still suffer from dengue fever and return home with negative impression. we carried out an entomological survey around the island and collected the mosquitos to detect dengue virus by digoxigenin-cdna probe. the data re ... | 1996 | 9031420 |
| genetic differentiation of aedes aegypti mainland and island populations from southern thailand. | isozymes of 5 wild-caught collections of aedes aegypti were compared by using starch gel electrophoresis. all collections were collected from surat-thanee province, southern thailand, an area considered to be a hyperendemic zone for dengue virus. one collection was from donsak harbor, whereas the other 4 collections were from 4 districts of samui island. the percent polymorphic loci (24.2-33%) in the 4 island collections was lower than in the mainland collection (36.4%). this study revealed a la ... | 2002 | 12322938 |
| double infection of heteroserotypes of dengue viruses in field populations of aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) and serological features of dengue viruses found in patients in southern thailand. | in order to understand more about the epidemiology of dhf, a study of the type of dengue viruses and vectors under natural conditions was carried out. mosquito vectors in the field and the serum of dhf patients in southern thailand were examined. the two mosquito species are abundant and dhf incidence remains high in this region. dengue viruses were examined in field-caught mosquitoes by rt-pcr technique. the mosquitoes were caught in 4 provinces: krabi, phuket, phang-nga and surat thani during ... | 2006 | 17120966 |
