Favipiravir Inhibits Mayaro Virus Infection in Mice.

Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an emergent alphavirus that causes MAYV fever. It is often associated with debilitating symptoms, particularly arthralgia and myalgia. MAYV infection is becoming a considerable health issue that, unfortunately, lacks a specific antiviral treatment.

Insecticidal and Histopathological Effects of Weed Extracts against Dengue Vector, .

Crude extracts and essential oils of were tested with larva and adult stages of mosquitoes to determine their insecticidal properties. The crude extracts and essential oils came from three varieties of (with white flowers, purple flowers, or white-purple flowers) and from two places on each plant (leaves and flowers), giving six types overall: leaf-white (LW); leaf-purple (LP); leaf white-purple (LW-P); flower-white (FW); flower-purple (FP); and flower white-purple (FW-P). Chemical constituents and components of the essential oils were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Efficacy of Ageratum conyzoides extracts against Giardia duodenalis trophozoites: an experimental study.

Background: Giardia duodenalis causes giardiasis in humans, particularly in developing countries. Despite the availability of treatments, resistance to some of the commercial anti-Giardia drugs has been reported in addition to their harmful side effects. Therefore, novel treatments for giardiasis are required.

Blastocystis subtype 5: Predominant subtype on pig farms, Thailand.

Blastocystis is a unicellular protist most commonly detected in humans and a variety of animals. The predominant mode of its transmission is the fecal-oral route, but its zoonotic potential is not completely understood. The objective of this study was to determine the presence and genetic diversity of Blastocystis on pig farms in Nakhon Pathom Province, Central Thailand.

Blastocystis infection and subtype distribution in humans, cattle, goats, and pigs in central and western Thailand.

Blastocystis is a common intestinal pathogen of humans and a variety of animals, with various host-specific subtypes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and subtype distribution of Blastocystis in humans and domestic animals, Thailand. 113 stool samples were collected from pigs, goats, and cattle in Ayutthaya Province (AP; central Thailand) and 218 stool samples were collected from pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, and humans in Kanchanaburi Province (KP; western Thailand).

Zoonotic potential of Enterocytozoon genotypes in humans and pigs in Thailand.

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an opportunistic intestinal pathogen infecting humans and a variety of animals. Its mode of transmission and zoonotic potential are not completely understood. E.
