- Abstract:
- ... Blastocystis is the most common protist in the gut of humans and other animals having global distribution. Occasionally, this organism has also been reported in the environment. Transmission to humans occurs via the fecal-oral route, while water also comprises a transmission route. Blastocystis has been commonly found in rivers, lakes, and wells. Nonetheless, there is limited data about the preval ...

- Abstract:
- ... Extra-lymphatic manifestation of filariasis is uncommon and may usually be clinically misdiagnosed. The extra lymphatic presentation of Brugia malayi may due to the site of entry of the infective larvae, and only a few cases have been proven for the causative species. We report here a 59-year-old woman presented with swollen right conjunctiva and complaint of migratory swelling at her eyelid, whic ...

- Abstract:
- ... Liver fluke infection through the consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish is a major public health problem in the Mekong Region. Despite the extensive efforts of liver fluke health campaigns, Northeast Thailand still reports high human infection prevalence as consumption of raw fish dishes has diminished but not ceased. This study examines the roles of social-cultural factors, particular ...

- Abstract:
- ... Both Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are enteric protozoan parasites that infect a wide variety of domestic animals as well as humans worldwide, causing diarrheal diseases. Giardia duodenalis assemblages C and D are specific to canine hosts and zoonotic assemblages A and B are also found in dogs as a reservoir host. In dogs, Cryptosporidium canis is the host-specific species while huma ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cases of gnathostomiasis, an infection caused by consuming infected seafood, have been reported in Australia. However, doubt exists over the validity of these diagnoses as there are no reports of Gnathostoma spp. in Australian teleost fish. Also, the diagnoses in human cases were based on a serological test developed in Thailand. The specificity and sensitivity of this test in non-endemic areas ar ...

Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) infection is endemic to the Northeast Thailand where the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is higher whilst the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is lower than the rest of Thailand. Helminth infection has both nutritional and immunological impact on their definitive hosts. Thus, a cross-sectional study was performed to see the effects of OV infecti ...

MSP3 has long been evaluated for its vaccine candidacy, however, the candidacy of other members of MSP3 family is insufficiently characterized. Here, we investigated Plasmodium falciparum MSP11 (PF3D7_1036000), a member of the MSP3 family, for its potential as a blood-stage vaccine candidate. The ...

The rhoptry neck protein 12 of Plasmodium falciparum (PfRON12) was recently reported as a protein specifically expressed in schizonts and localized to the rhoptry neck of merozoites. Here, we assessed its potential as a vaccine candidate. We ...

Even though campaigns discouraging the consumption of raw fish have been launched to public, the disease still remains highly endemic. The unsuccessful eradication of the disease is probably because of the persistence of the parasite in animal reservoir hosts, particularly felids. Praziqua ...

- ... Neglected tropical diseases cause substantial morbidity and mortality in animals and people globally. Opisthorchiasis is one such disease, caused by the carcinogenic, Asian liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini. This hepatobiliary disease is known to be associated with malignant cancer (cholangiocarcinoma, CCA) and affects millions of people in Asia, including Thailand, Lao People's Democratic Repub ...

- Abstract:
- ... L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is highly expressed in various human cancers, including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), the most common cancer in Northeast Thailand. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress induced by liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini, infection has been recognized as the major cause of CCA in this area. We show here that an increased expression of LAT1 and its co-functional p ...
