Molecular detection and dense granule antigen 6 genotyping of feline in Phayao, Thailand.

Background And Aim: Globally, toxoplasmosis is an important zoonotic parasite infection of many warm-blooded animals (including humans). oocysts are widespread, and their contamination can be primarily attributed to the members of the Felidae family. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and determine the dense granule antigen 6 (GRA6) genotype of among domestic cats in the Phayao Province, Thailand.

Identification and expression of a transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) homologue in the tropical liver fluke Fasciola gigantica.

Liver flukes, Fasciola spp., are veterinary and medically important parasites infecting numerous species of economically important animals in addition to humans on a global scale. The components of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling are widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom and are considerably conserved.

Occurrence of fluke infection in beef cattle around Phayao Lake, Phayao, Thailand.

Prevalence of vertically transmitted Neospora caninum amongst beef cattle in Phayao, Thailand.

Neospora caninum, the causative agent of neosporosis, is recognised as a significant trigger of abortion and productivity losses in cattle worldwide. Current information regarding to the prevalence of N. caninum in Thailand is limited due to the limitations of detection methods and the difficulty of recovering of viable parasite.
