Southeast Asian lung flukes, the causative agents of human and animal paragonimiasis, comprise at least 14 species. Of these, seven species; Paragonimus bangkokensis, P. harinasutai, P.

Allozyme analysis of the temporal populations of Echinostoma revolutum collected from domestic ducks in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand.

Four temporal populations of Echinostoma revolutum (ER1, ER2, ER3, ER4) were collected from domestic ducks in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand during February-October 2008. The ER1, ER2, ER3 and ER4 were collected in February, April, June and October, respectively. The 12 enzymes encoding 15 loci were examined.

Prognostic significance of microsatellite alterations at 1p36 in cholangiocarcinoma.

Aim: To investigate loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) on the chromosomal region 1p36-pter in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients and determine the association between microsatellite alterations and clinicopathological parameters.

Methods: Ten polymorphic microsatellite markers were determined for LOH and MSI using GS-3000 gel scan fragment autoanalyzer.

Results: Sixty-eight out of 90 cases (75.
