The phyline plant bug genus Hypseloecus Reuter is reported from Thailand as well as the Indochina region for the first time, diagnosed, and discussed on its phylogenetic position. Eight new species, Hypseloecus castaneus, H. katrinae, H. nigrobrevis, H. phuvasae, H. sakaerat, H. schuhianus, H. sericosagus and H. siamensis, are described, all with color photographic images of live individuals. F...

The last-instar larva and pupa of Prionispa champaka Maulik, 1919 are described and figured in detail. The chaetotaxy of the head, mouthparts, legs, and dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body are given. The larva of P. champaka mine in the leaves of Pollia japonica Thunb. (Commelinaceae) and pupate in the base of the mid-ribs. The adults were also observed feeding on the leaves of Pollia siame...

Three new heligmonellid nematodes from the small intestine of the Pere DAVID'S vole Eothenomys meianogaster (MILNE-EDWARDS), captured at Doi Inthanon, Thailand, are described. They were Yatinema siamensis n. sp., which belongs to the subfamily Heligmonellinae DURETTE-DESSET, 1983, and is easily differentiated from Y. japonicum by a symmetrical bursa and barely developed ridges of synlophe. Caro...

Under natural conditions, the emergence of Opisthorchis viverrini cercariae from naturally infected Bithynia (Digoniostoma) siamensis goniomphalos showed diurnal periodicity, peaking between 8:00-10:00 AM. The cercariae did not emerge during darkness, but low-intensity light could induce a release. Cercariae shedded from each field infected B.(D.) s. goniomphalos was recorded daily. The maximum...

Although long considered to be a foreign animal disease, cutaneous leishmaniasis has recently been identified in two horses in Florida with no history of international travel. Both horses were diagnosed with Leishmania siamensis, an organism with zoonotic potential. Practitioners in the United States should have this disease on their differential list for horses with ulcers and nodules on the e...

The aims of this work was to characterise indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in the naturally fermented juice of grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo used in the São Francisco River Valley, northeastern Brazil. In this study, 155 S. cerevisiae and 60 non-Saccharomyces yeasts were isolated and identified using physiological tests and seq...

Broadleaf deciduous forests (BDFs) or dry dipterocarp play an important role in biodiversity conservation tropical regions. Observations and classification of forest phenology provide valuable inputs for ecosystem models regarding its responses to climate change assist management. Remotely sensed observations are often used derive the parameters corresponding seasonal vegetation dynamics. Data ...
