Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of PCR and microscopy for the detection of asymptomatic malaria in a Plasmodium falciparum/vivax endemic area in Thailand
Russell E. Coleman,Jetsumon Sattabongkot,Sommai Promstaporm,Nongnuj Maneechai,Bousaraporn Tippayachai,Ampornpan Kengluecha,Nattawan Rachapaew,Gabriela Zollner,Robert S Miller,Jefferson A. Vaughan,Krongtong Thimasarn,Benjawan Khuntirat +11 more
TL;DR: PCR appears to be a useful method for detecting Plasmodium parasites during active malaria surveillance in Thailand, and data indicated that the discrepancy between the two methods resulted from poor performance of microscopy at low parasite densities rather thanpoor performance of PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus genotype V in the Republic of Korea
Ratree Takhampunya,Heung Chul Kim,Bousaraporn Tippayachai,Ampornpan Kengluecha,Terry A. Klein,Won-Ja Lee,John P. Grieco,Brian P. Evans +7 more
TL;DR: This study represents the first report of JEV genotype V in the ROK, and its discovery in Cx.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scrub typhus: vector competence of Leptotrombidium chiangraiensis chiggers and transmission efficacy and isolation of Orientia tsutsugamushi
Kriangkrai Lerdthusnee,Benjawan Khuntirat,Warisa Leepitakrat,P. Tanskul,Taweesak Monkanna,Nittaya Khlaimanee,I Inlao,Ampornpan Kengluecha,S. Mungviriya,K. Chandranoi,P Krairojananan,D Bodhidatta,W Rodkwamthook,D. Phulsuksombati,N Sangjun,P. Watcharapichat,James W. Jones,Russell E. Coleman +17 more
TL;DR: The two isolates of O. tsutsugamushi obtained fromindividual adult L. chiangraiensis mites represent the first successful isolation of this bacterium from individual adult mites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field detection of Tembusu virus in western Thailand by rt-PCR and vector competence determination of select culex mosquitoes for transmission of the virus.
Monica L. O'Guinn,Michael J. Turell,Ampornpan Kengluecha,Boonsong Jaichapor,Prasan Kankaew,R. Scott Miller,Timothy P. Endy,James W. Jones,Russell E. Coleman,John S. Lee +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the involvement of Culex mosquitoes in the transmission of TMUV in the environment by feeding on young chickens that had been infected with this virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia in Dermacentor variabilis (Acari: Ixodidae) Infesting Raccoons (Carnivora: Procyonidae) and Opossums (Marsupialia: Didelphimorphidae) in Tennessee
TL;DR: Spotted fever group Rickettsia were detected by amplification of a 617-bp segment of the citrate synthase gene by polymerase chain reaction in raccoons and opossums in western Tennessee.
