Study Of Morphological Characteristic And Prevalence Of Haemoproteus Blood Parasite In Passerines In Bung Boraphet, Phirom Prompiram, Smarn Kaewviyudth, Yaowalark Sukthana, Parntep Rattanakorn
Study Of Morphological Characteristic And Prevalence Of Haemoproteus Blood Parasite In Passerines In Bung Boraphet, Phirom Prompiram, Smarn Kaewviyudth, Yaowalark Sukthana, Parntep Rattanakorn

Haemoproteus is one of the world’s widespread avian blood parasite. However, it is rarely reported in Thailand; even at Bung Boraphet, which is an important wetland bird area located in the central part of Thailand, it still has never been reported. Therefore, information on species of haemoproteid and their epidemiology is important for the health of wildlife in Thailand. Samples of blood smear were collected from 633 passerines consisting of 6 orders, 15 families, 25 genera, and 35 species in total from Bung Boraphet. This is the first study to report 8 haemoproteid blood parasite species including Haemoproteus herdiadis, H. …
Prevalence And Distributions Of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus And Feline Leukemia Virus Infections In Bangkok And Its Vicinity, Thailand During 2013-2014, Teerawut Nedumpun, Patharapol Piamsomboon, Pattrarat Chanchaithong, Piyanan Taweethavonsawat, Sudchit Chungpivat, Sanipa Suradhat
Prevalence And Distributions Of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus And Feline Leukemia Virus Infections In Bangkok And Its Vicinity, Thailand During 2013-2014, Teerawut Nedumpun, Patharapol Piamsomboon, Pattrarat Chanchaithong, Piyanan Taweethavonsawat, Sudchit Chungpivat, Sanipa Suradhat

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are known as pathogens associated with chronic diseases in cat. This present study determined the prevalence of FIV and FeLV infections in Bangkok and its vicinity, including Nonthaburi and Pathumthani, during April 2013-March 2014 in owned cats. A total of 777 serum or plasma samples were submitted to a private veterinary laboratory in Bangkok. The prevalence of FIV infection, FeLV infection and co-infection was 5.4% (42/777), 16.5% (128/777) and 3.5% (27/777), respectively. The infections were detected all year round, with higher prevalence of FeLV infection. In addition, geographical analyses revealed that …
Prevalence Of Porcine Sapovirus In Suckling Piglets In Hunan Province, China, Sheng-Guo Tan, Na Liu, Ping-Yuan Xu
Prevalence Of Porcine Sapovirus In Suckling Piglets In Hunan Province, China, Sheng-Guo Tan, Na Liu, Ping-Yuan Xu

Sapoviruses (SaVs) are emerging enteric pathogens that cause diarrhea in humans and animals. In the current study, genetic identification of sapovirus (SaV) in suckling piglets was investigated in Hunan province, China between May 2013 and May 2014. Diarrheic fecal (n=300) samples collected from suckling piglets in Hunan province, China were evaluated using RT-PCR and then sequenced. Overall, 45 of the 300 (15%) samples were found to contain porcine SaV. In addition, phylogenetic analysis showed that all the porcine SaV isolates belonged to the porcine SaV genogroup III (GIII). The results of the present investigation have implications for the control of …
