Epidemiological Surveillance of Intestinal Parasites and Serological Analysis of in Captive Felids From Thailand Zoos.

Wild felids have been in decline, which has been linked to health issues. Parasitic infections, including zoonotic ones, can contribute to the challenges faced regarding wildlife conservation efforts and may pose a risk to human health, particularly for people working at or visiting zoological parks. This study investigated the occurrence of parasitic infections in the Felidae within Thai zoo parks.

Atrazine promotes cholangiocarcinoma cell proliferation and migration via GPER-mediated PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway.

Atrazine (ATZ), an herbicide widely distributed on a global scale, possess a potential risk for the development of various cancers upon environmental exposure. However, the effect and molecular mechanism of ATZ in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ATZ on the proliferation and migration of CCA cell in vitro.

Chronic Strongyloides stercoralis infection increases presence of the Ruminococcus torques group in the gut and alters the microbial proteome.

We explored the impact of chronic Strongyloides stercoralis infection on the gut microbiome and microbial activity in a longitudinal study. At baseline (time-point T0), 42 fecal samples from matched individuals (21 positive for strongyloidiasis and 21 negative) were subjected to microbiome 16S-rRNA sequencing. Those positive at T0 (untreated then because of COVID19 lockdowns) were retested one year later (T1).

Genetic variation, DNA barcoding and blood meal identification of Culicoides Latreille biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Thailand.

Biting midges of the genus Culicoides Latreille are blood sucking insects of medical and veterinary importance. Many species are vectors of disease agents transmitted to humans and other animals. Therefore, rapid and accurate species identification is essential for appreciation of all aspects of these insects.
