The snail Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos acts as the first intermediate host for the human liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini, the major cause of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in Northeast Thailand. This data article contains the results obtained from the analysis of the proteins differentially expressed in the snail B. siamensis goniomphalos upon infection with O. viverrini. It contains the data g...

Metacercariae of Paragonimus spp. were obtained from field-collected freshwater crabs in Sri Lanka. Genomic DNA was extracted from single metacercariae. Two gene regions (partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and the second internal transcribed spacer of the nuclear ribosomal gene repeat (ITS2)) were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction. Two differing sequences wer...

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an emerging infectious agent causing eosinophilic meningitis or meningoencephalitis in humans with clinical manifestation of severe headache. Molecular genetic studies on classification and phylogeny of A. cantonensis in Thailand are limited. This study surveyed A. cantonensis larvae prevalence in natural intermediate hosts across Thailand and analyzed their phylo...

A parasitological investigation on trematode metacercariae was made on 62 freshwater fishes of 13 species in northern Thailand; Cyclocheilichthys apogon, Puntioplites proctozysron, Labiobarbus siamensis, Barbodes gonionotus, Barbodes altus, Henicorhynchus siamensis, Osteochilus hasselti, Notopterus notopterus, Mystacoleucus marginatus, Anabas testudineus, Systomus orphoides, Morulius chrysophyk...

Dachtylembia gen. nov. (Embioptera: Teratembiidae), is described and illustrated based on specimens of a new species (D. siamensis) collected from Thailand. The geographical distribution of this species in Thailand is mapped.

The species diversity of ostracods in the floodplain of the Chi River basin, Mahasarakham Province, Northeast Thailand was examined in this study. Twenty-two samples were collected in the cool season (February 2010). Twenty-six species belonging to 18 genera were recorded, three of which are new to the Oriental region (Fabaeformiscandona subacuta (Yang, 1982), Ilyocypris monstrifica (Norman, 18...

Two closely related yeast strains, ST-382 and ST-392, isolated in Thailand showed intermediate relatedness in the DNA-DNA hybridization experiment suggesting that the two strains represent closely related distinct species. In the tree based on the D1/D2 domain sequences of the large subunit rRNA gene, the two strains are located in a subclade in the Wickerhamomyces clade with high bootstrap sup...

Chromosomal characteristics and karyological analysis of three Dixonius, including D. hangseesom, siamensis melanostictus, from Thailand were studied. Chromosome preparations conducted by squash technique bone marrow testis. Conventional Giemsa’s staining Ag-NOR banding techniques applied to stain the chromosome. The results showed that diploid chromosomes are 2n=40, for hangseesom siamensis; 2...

To date, only the type species Lissonotocoris membranaceus Usinger & Matsuda 1959 is known and recorded from Vietnam and China, Hainan Island. Four new species of the previously monotypic genus Lissonotocoris are described and figured: loebli n.sp. (Thailand), glabronotus n.sp. (N.Vietnam), pachycerus n.sp. (Malaysia) and siamensis n.sp. (Thailand). A key for the identification of all 5 species...
