Bovine And Ovine Schistosomiasis: Prevalence And Associated Host Factors In Selected Sites Of South Achefer District, Northwest Ethiopia, Yirsaw Kerie, Zewdu Seyoum
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Schistosomiasis is a snail-borne trematode infection in man and animals in tropical and subtropical countries. It is an economically important disease caused by several Schistosoma species and results in economic losses through mortality and morbidity from severe infection and from long-term effect of moderate- and long-standing chronic infection. This study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 to determine the prevalence and potential host-related risk factors of bovine and ovine schistosomiasis in selected sites of South Achefer district, northwest Ethiopia. About 532 faecal samples were collected from randomly selected cattle and sheep from three purposively selected peasant associations. The …

Background : Since 2009, cigarette smoking among Thai population aged between 15 and 24 has been increasing. These people may have more chances of some disease complications caused by cigarette smoking thannon-smokers. Noticeably, these young smoking population are currently studying in high school, vocational, and technical levels. The previous surveys indicated no current data available regarding the prevalence of smoking among these vocational and technical students in the area.Objective : The study aims to evaluate the prevalence and factors influencing smoking behavior of students in these two institutes.Research : Design A cross sectional, descriptive study.Setting : Technical and Vocational Ubon …

Canine influenza viruses (CIVs) have been reported in dogs worldwide. Due to the relatively high risk of influenza A virus (IAV) infections in dogs and humans through dog-human interface, the seroprevalence of IAVs in dogs in Thailand was surveyed. A serological survey of IAV infections in dogs in Thailand was conducted from December 2012 to November 2013 using ELISA assays for detecting anti-nucleoprotein (NP) antibodies (NP-ELISA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests for detecting HA-specific antibodies using canine H3N2 (CIV-H3N2), human pandemic H1N1 2009 (Human-pH1N1) and human seasonal H3N2 (Human-H3N2) as viral antigens. A total of 9,891 serum samples were obtained …

The amelogenin and zinc-finger regions were used for sex determination in six species of felids: Felis catus (Persian cat), Felis chaus (jungle cat), Prionailurus bengalensis (leopard cat), Pardofelis temminckii (Asiatic golden cat), Panthera tigris (tiger) and Prionailurus viverrinus (fishing cat). The amelogenin region in all six felids could be successfully amplified and gave a heterozygous genotype in males and a homozygous genotype in females, except for leopard cats which showed a heterozygous genotype in both sexes. The PCR products from the zinc-finger region could be amplified in Persian cats, Asiatic golden cats, tigers and fishing cats. In the Persian cat, …
