Antimicrobial resistance profiles in bacterial species isolated from fecal samples of free-ranging long-tailed macaques () living in Lopburi Old Town, Thailand.

Background And Aim: At present, increasing in long-tailed macaques () population in Lopburi old town caused several problems in its community, in particular with sanitation problem. The present study aimed to explore species distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns in bacteria isolated from feces of the free-ranging long-tailed macaques () in Lopburi Old Town, Thailand.

Materials And Methods: Fresh fecal samples were collected from October 2018 to July 2019 from seven troops of macaques.

Gonadosomatic Index, Oocyte Development and Fecundity of the Snakehead Fish () in Natural River of Mae La, Singburi Province, Thailand.

Background And Objective: Reproductive cycle of snakehead fish (Channa striata) is necessary to inform management plans of the natural fish. This work aimed to study the gonadosomatic index (GSI), oocyte development and fecundity of C. striata in the Mae La River, Singburi province, Thailand from November, 2017-October, 2018.

Borrelia sp. phylogenetically different from Lyme disease- and relapsing fever-related Borrelia spp. in Amblyomma varanense from Python reticulatus.

Background: Species of the genus Borrelia are causative agents of Lyme disease and relapsing fever. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. However, in some parts of the world Lyme borreliosis and relapsing fever may be caused by novel Borrelia genotypes.

Phenotypic comparison of four thalassemia model mice reconstructed from cryo-banked embryos.

A major clinical feature of patients with thalassemia is growth retardation due to anemia, therefore, the hematological parameters, weanling weight and post-weanling weight of pups obtained from vitrified warmed embryo transfers were studied for the first time in this report. Two-cell embryos of four transgenic (TG) thalassemic mouse lines (BKO, 654, E2, and E4) were produced by breeding four lines of TG thalassemic males to wild-type (WT) females (C57BL/6J) and were cryopreserved by vitrification in straws using 35% ethylene glycol. After transfer of vitrified-warmed embryos, hematological parameters, spleen index, weanling and post-weanling weight were determined in TG and WT viable pups.

Effect of human beta-globin bacterial artificial chromosome transgenesis on embryo cryopreservation in mouse models.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficiency of embryo cryopreservation for four transgenic (TG) thalassaemic mouse strains, which is a key element of the ongoing gene banking efforts for these high-value animals. Heterozygous TG embryos were produced by breeding four lines of TG males to wild-type (WT) females (C57BL/6J). Intact two-cell embryos were cryopreserved by vitrification in straws using 35% ethylene glycol.
