Article Abstract
Originating in Thailand, the Thai Ridgeback dog is known for its unique fur ridge that grows in the opposite direction along its back. Selective breeding and a limited populations in Thailand have led to significant close inbreeding among related individuals. The current Thai Ridgeback population is assumed to have experienced a loss of genetic diversity and bottleneck events. Furthermore, studies on the genetic diversity and structure of Thai Ridgeback dogs are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the genetic diversity in Thai Ridgeback dogs. Microsatellite genotyping and mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences were used to assess genetic diversity in 105 Thai Ridgeback dogs from various farms throughout Thailand. Significant genetic diversity and minimal inbreeding were observed in the current Thai Ridgeback population. Signs of bottlenecks were not observed because the exchange of genetic material among Thai Ridgeback owners effectively preserved the genetic diversity. Moreover, the genetic parameters in this study supported owner-to-owner exchanges animals for mating programs. To sustain the genetic diversity of Thai Ridgeback dogs, the use of genetic parameters to manage genetic closeness while preserving breed characteristics is essential. These data are crucial for ensuring demographic stability, which is pivotal for long-term conservation and effective population management.

Favipiravir pharmacokinetics in Thai adults with mild COVID-19: A sub-study of interpatient variability and ethnic differences in exposure.

This sub-study sought to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of favipiravir (FPV) within Thai adults and quantitatively assess differences in exposure to those previously reported in other populations as a basis to understand putative differences in efficacy between studies conducted in different regions. It was nested within a prospective trial of adults with symptomatic COVID-19 infection without pneumonia receiving 1800 mg FPV twice-daily on day 1 and 800 mg twice-daily thereafter. Individual PK profiles were fitted with a one-compartment disposition model (first-order absorption).

Background And Aim: Trapped neutrophil syndrome (TNS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder found in Border Collies and is characterized by peripheral neutropenia and myeloid hyperplasia of bone marrow. The underlying cause of TNS is associated with a 4-base pair deletion mutation in the () gene. In this study, we proposed and validated a novel multiplex allele specific-polymerase chain reaction (MAS-PCR) technique to assess the prevalence of TNS using genotypes of Border Collies and Thai Ridgebacks in Thailand.

Obstructive or nonobstructive hypertensive hydrocephalus is reported in choroid plexus tumors. Choroid plexus tumors typically present as T2-weighted hyperintense intraventricular masses with occasional cerebrospinal fluid-drop metastasis. Acquired neoplastic nonobstructive hydrocephalus without visible mass lesion in magnetic resonance imaging is not reported in dogs.

Background And Aim: Obesity in dogs leads to several health problems, such as premature death, and contributes to other diseases. Recently, body fat percentage has been considered to represent the body condition of dogs, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is the most effective method for accurately measuring body fat in dogs. In Thailand, information on the body condition of dogs is limited, and there is no standard body fat level for Thai or mongrel dogs.
