Background: Cervical cancer (CXCA) is the second most common cancer among women in Thailand and worldwide. Immune evasion caused by down-regulation of host immune responsive genes, such as MHC class I and loss of antigen processing machinery (APM), presents a capability leading to cancer development. Immunohistochemical staining (HC) is regarded as a common technique for protein marker detection in clinical laboratories.

Background: The blowfly, Chrysomya megacephala, is distributed worldwide. Previous studies found maggot excretions-secretions from other blowfly species inhibited pro-inflammatory response and antimicrobial activity.

Objective: This study aimed to test the bactericidal activity of excretions-secretions from C.

Background: Burkholderia pseudomallei are the causative agents of melioidosis, a disease that has a high relapse rate in endemic areas. The mechanism of relapse is unclear

Objective: This study aimed to establish relapsed melioidosis in C57BL/6 mice by induction with B. pseudomallei.

Background: Cervical cancer (CXCA) caused by persistent infections by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) can lead to multi-step carcinogenesis. The best management strategy and significant prognosis for cervical cancer patients remain unclear.

Objective: To investigate the associations of the two most common HR-HPVs with clinical outcomes of progression and recurrence status as well as prognosis outcomes of patients.

Background: The housefly Musca domestica and the blowfly Chrysomya megacephala are found worldwide and are medically significant as mechanical vectors of various pathogens from unsanitary locations to food, resulting in diseases in humans.

Objectives: This study aimed to test the antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus spp. isolated from M.

Background: Listeria monocytogenes (LM) has been used as a vaccine vector based upon its ability to induce a strong cell-mediated immune response. LM inactivated with γ-irradiation retains immunogenic properties and is an attractive platform for clinical use since it would have improved safety concerns compared to live vectors. Activated charcoal has been shown to enhance expression of LM proteins such as PrfA.

Burkholderia pseudomallei are the causative agents of melioidosis, a disease found mostly in people with underlying risk factors. Fifty percent of cases are community-acquired septicemias and manifestation can vary from acute septicemia (with or without shock), to chronic, to subclinical infections. There is no vaccine to prevent the condition.

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is an important intracellular pathogen in tropical regions. TANK-binding kinase (TBK1), part of the pathway that induces transcription of Type I interferon genes, has been demonstrated to play an important role in controlling intracellular bacterial infections. To investigate the role of tbk1 in protecting against B.
