Title
Preliminary study on potential circulation of arenaviruses in the rodent population of Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand and their medical importance in an evoluting environment
Preliminary serological investigations were prefered to detect evidence of arenavirus infection in rodents.The study examined virus antibody in 367 rodents trapped in 6 different geographical areas of Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand from February-March, 1998. The overall seroprevalence among rodents was 13.3%, mostly in Bandicota savilei (35.7%) and Rattus norvegicus (31.5%). Between ecology, behavior and sex of the rodents, seroprevalence was not significantly different (p>0.05), however the seroprevalence found among different geographical areas of Nakhon Pathom Province were significantly different (p<0.0001).
