Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is used as an adjunctive therapy for wound healing, pain relief and rehabilitation. The penetration of light to the target tissue is the crucial factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential penetration of simultaneous superpulsed and multiple wavelength (SPMW) PBMT on living tissue in dogs. Twenty client-owned dogs were anesthetized and underwent abdominal surgery. The PMBT device was set at 50 Hz and delivered light for 60 sec at different distances; at 0 cm (contact) and 1 cm tissue-device distance (non-contact). The power meter was placed and measured the mean output power (MOP) …
Effects Of Chikungunya Virus Titers In Blood Meals On Virus Infection, Dissemination, And Transmission In Asian Tiger Mosquito: Aedes Albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae), Ranida Tuanudom, Nichapat Yurayart, Sonthaya Tiawsirisup

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an important mosquito-borne virus and transmission cycle of this virus involves mosquito vectors and infected vertebrate hosts. However, the study about vector competence for CHIKV in Thailand is limited. This study was conducted to examine the effects of CHIKV titers in blood meals on vector competence of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae). Five groups of Ae. albopictus were allowed to feed on different levels of CHIKV in the blood meals which were 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 CID50/ml of CHIKV. Body, legs and wings, and saliva samples from blood-fed mosquitoes were assayed for the presence of …

Pathogenicity and transmission of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza subtype H5N1 viruses (HPAI-H5N1) depend on the strains and infection doses of the viruses. In this study, experimental infection was performed to determine pathogenicity and transmission of the Thai HPAI-H5N1 in Japanese quails. One hundred and seven quails were divided into 4 groups, experimental groups 1-3 (n = 32 per group) and negative control group (n = 11). At the age of 9 weeks, 16 quails each from groups 1-3 were inoculated with 107, 105 and 103 EID50 of Thai HPAI-H5N1, A/chicken/Thailand/CUK2/04(CU-K2) virus. Twenty-four hours later, 16 quails were added as contact …

At least, 4 mosquito species, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Culex gelidus, Anopheles vagus and Mansonia uniformis were identified on a pig farm in Nakorn Pathom, Thailand between March 2004 to February 2005. C. tritaeniorhynchus was found to be the predominant species (88.387.63%). To determine whether C. tritaeniorhynchus could serve as a mechanical vector for PRRSV transmission, 2 experiments were conducted on: the duration of PRRSV within the mosquitoes and PRRSV transmission from the PRRSV-infected pigs to naive pigs by the infected mosquitoes. PRRSV nucleic acid could be detected in the whole pooled mosquito samples for up to 48 hours post feeding in …
