First Report of Microplastics in Wild Long-Tailed Macaque () Feces at Kosumpee Forest Park, Maha Sarakham, Thailand.

Microplastic pollution is a global concern arising from the extensive production and use of plastics. The prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment is escalating due in large part to the excessive use of plastics in various human-related activities. Consequently, animals are being exposed to MPs through dietary intake, which poses significant health risks to the wild populations.

Molecular Characterization of Complex Isolated from Free-Ranging Long-Tailed Macaques at Kosumpee Forest Park, Maha Sarakham, Thailand.

The (.) complex, including methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA), and are bacterial pathogens that are responsible for both human and animal infection. However, insights into the molecular characteristics of MRSA, MSSA, and carriages in wildlife, especially in long-tailed macaques, rarely have been reported in Thailand.

Seroprevalence in Free-Ranging Long-Tailed Macaques () at Kosumpee Forest Park, Maha Sarakham, Thailand.

Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that is ubiquitously distributed and is classified as a re-emerging infectious disease in humans and animals. Many serovars are carried by wildlife; all of them are capable of causing illness in humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Leptospirosis in wild long-tailed macaques () at Kosumpee Forest Park, Mahasarakham, Thailand.

Investigation of methicillin-resistant , methicillin-susceptible , and from wild long-tailed macaques () at Kosumpee Forest Park, Maha Sarakham, Thailand.

Background And Aim: In the past, the prevalence of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) infections in both humans and animals has increased across Thailand. has been associated with infections among humans, exotic pets, and livestock. Both species have been identified in non-human primate species from geographically diverse locations but not from non-human primates in Thailand.

Fecal microbiota dysbiosis in macaques and humans within a shared environment.

Traditional zoonotic disease research focuses on detection of recognized pathogens and may miss opportunities to understand broader microbial transmission dynamics between humans, animals, and the environment. We studied human-macaque microbiome overlap in Kosum Phisai District, Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand, where a growing population of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in Kosumpee Forest Park interact with humans from an adjacent village. We surveyed workers in or near the park with elevated exposure to macaques to characterize tasks resulting in exposure to macaque feces in addition to dietary and lifestyle factors that influence gut microbiome composition.

Long-Tailed Macaques () in Urban Landscapes: Gastrointestinal Parasitism and Barriers for Healthy Coexistence in Northeast Thailand.

Gastrointestinal parasites have diverse life cycles that can involve people, animals, and the environment (e.g., water and soil), demonstrating the utility of One Health frameworks in characterizing infection risk.

PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED POPULATION OF RHESUS MACAQUES IN CHIANG RAI PROVINCE, THAILAND: PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS.

Efforts to document the distribution of macaques in Thailand have been gradually improving over the past several years. Here we add to the growing database with a summary of a previously unreported population of Rhesus Macaque located at Wat Phrabuddhabat Pa Reau in Chiang Rai Province. This work is part of an on-going study addressing human-primate conflict and coexistence in Thailand.
