Item Metadata only Molecular surveillance of bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) and other ectoparasites in Ratchaburi, Thailand: Unraveling host associations and coronavirus transmission dynamics in the context of zoonotic spillover risk(2025-07-01) Phumee A.; Rattanatumhi K.; Putcharoen O.; Chitcharoen S.; Sutthanont N.; Suwanbamrung C.; Pataradool T.; Boonserm R.; Sunantaraporn S.; Savigamin C.; Schmidt-Chanasit J.; Siriyasatien P.; Phumee A.; Mahidol UniversityBackground: Bats act as hosts for various ectoparasites, including bat flies, bugs, fleas, ticks, and mites, which play crucial roles in the transmission of bat-borne pathogens. As obligate blood-feeding parasites, these ectoparasites can serve... as direct vectors or indirectly influence pathogen dynamics in bat populations. In Thailand, molecular studies on bat ectoparasites are limited, with scarce data on their diversity, distribution, and role in zoonotic pathogen transmission. This study aimsPublication Metadata only The pests of a pest: A systematic review of ectoparasitic fauna among synanthropic rodents in the 21st century with meta-analysis(2021-03-01) Jeffery Ho; Tanasak Changbunjong; Thekhawet Weluwanarak; Sabir Hussain; Olivier Sparagano; University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore; City University of Hong Kong; Mahidol UniversitySynanthropic rodents are important urban pests that frequently carry hematophagous ectoparasites. These blood-sucking pests are capable of transmitting epizootic and zoonotic pathogens by landing on one host after feeding on an infected animal.... This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of ectoparasites carried by synanthropic rodents and discuss the pathogens that are associated with these external parasites. We searched relevant literatures using predefined criteria in the following databasesPublication Metadata only Occurrence of ectoparasites on rodents in Sukhothai province, Northern Thailand(2010-11-01) Tanasak Changbunjong; Thekhawet Weluwanarak; Tatiyanuch Chamsai; Poonyapat Sedwisai; Seni Ngamloephochit; Sarin Suwanpakdee; Plern Yongyuttawichai; Anuwat Wiratsudakul; Kridsada Chaichoun; Parntep Ratanakorn; Mahidol UniversityA survey of ectoparasites on rodents was carried out bimonthly from April 2008 to March 2009 in 3 districts of Sukhothai Province, northern Thailand. A total of 130 rodents comprising 8 species of hosts were captured and examined for ectoparasites.... The hosts examined were Bandicota indica, Bandicota savilei, Rattus losea, Rattus rattus, Rattus exulans, Rattus norvegicus, Menetes berdmorei and Tamiops mcclellandii. Ninety-seven ectoparasites were collected: 1 species of tick (Hemaphysalis bandicota), 2Publication Metadata only Ectoparasitic fauna of birds, and volant and non-volant small mammals captured at Srinakarin Dam, Kanchanaburi, Thailand(2010-05-01) Tanasak Changbunjong; Charoonluk Jirapattharasate; Ruangrat Buddhirongawatr; Kacha Chewajon; Pavinee Charoenyongyoo; Sarin Suwanapakdee; Surachit Waengsothorn; Kanokporn Triwitayakorn; Kridsada Chaichoun; Parntep Ratanakorn; Mahidol University; Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR)The investigation of ectoparasitic fauna on birds and volant and nonvolant small mammals at srinakarin dam Kanchanaburi province Thailand was carried out under a national biodiversity and disease surveillance program for four consecutive months...: January February May and june 2009. a total of 122 animals Comprised of 15 species of birds, 9 species of volant small mammals and 8 species of non-volant small mammals were examined for ectoparasite infestation. of these animals 1 genus of hard ticksItem Metadata only Identification and pathogen screening of ectoparasites from companion animals in urban Vientiane, Lao PDR(2025-10-01) Phommadeechack V.; Sungvornyothin S.; Pan-Ngum W.; Theppangna W.; Phommasone K.; Ashley E.A.; Chantratita N.; Robinson M.T.; Potiwat R.; Phommadeechack V.; Mahidol Universityand vector diversity in urban areas. This study collected ectoparasites from companion animals to assess pathogen prevalence and exposure risk. In five veterinary clinics across Vientiane capital, ectoparasites were collected from dogs and cats and identified... to the species level using both morphological and molecular methods. Ectoparasite DNA samples were screened for bacteria (17-kDa and 16S rRNA gene). Ticks were submitted to evaluate the potential of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for species identification.

Watanaboonchai; W. Somrith; C. Yinharnmingmongkol; M. Tunhikorn; Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University; Mahidol University© WRSA, UPV, 2003. The objective of this study was to determine changes in haematological values of topical administration of selamectin in rabbits with at least one species of naturally acquired ectoparasite infestation (Sarcoptes scabiei var.... cuniculi, Psoroptes cuniculi, or Cheyletiella spp). Thirty-five rabbits were enrolled. They underwent physical examination and assessment of ectoparasite infestations on days 0, 14, 28, 56 and 86. Blood for haematology and serum biochemistry was collectedPublication Metadata only A survey of ectoparasitic arthropods on domestic animals In Tak Province, Thailand(2009-05-01) Tanasak Changbunjong; Ruangrat Buddhirongawatr; Sarin Suwanpakdee; Jarunee Siengsanan; Plern Yongyuttawichai; Kecha Cheewajorn; Juthathip Jangjaras; Charoonluk Sangloung; Parntep Ratanakorn; Mahidol UniversityIn July 2008 a survey of ectoparasites on domestic animals was conducted in the Royal Thai Army areas of operation along the Thai-Myanmar Border, Tak Province, Thailand. Eleven different ectoparasites were collected: two species of hard ticksPublication Metadata only Amplicon-based next generation sequencing for rapid identification of rickettsia and ectoparasite species from entomological surveillance in thailand(2021-02-01) Suwanna Chaorattanakawee; Achareeya Korkusol; Bousaraporn Tippayachai; Sommai Promsathaporn; Betty K. Poole-Smith; Ratree Takhampunya; Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Thailand; Mahidol Universitysurveillance.
