Journal ArticleDOI
A new species of blood fluke (Digenea: Spirorchiidae) from the Malayan box turtle, Cuora amboinensis (Cryptodira: Geomydidae) in Thailand.
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis using molecular characters places the new species in the basal clade of tetrapod blood flukes, more derived than Spirhapalum polesianum, but lessderived than Spirorchis spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation Models Examining the Effect of Brugian Filariasis on Dengue Epidemics
TL;DR: Results indicated that, over the 14-year simulation period, mf-induced acceleration of the EIP would generate more frequent (but not necessarily more severe) epidemics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium falciparum: Genetic diversity and complexity of infections in an isolated village in western Thailand
Kazuyuki Tanabe,Gabriela Zollner,Jefferson A. Vaughan,Jetsumon Sattabongkot,Benjawan Khuntirat,Hajime Honma,Toshihiro Mita,Takafumi Tsuboi,Russell E. Coleman +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of full-length sequences of two housekeeping genes, the P-type Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase gene plus adenylosuccinate lyase gene, and three vaccine candidate antigen genes revealed that within-population SNP diversity was at similar levels between Kong Mong Tha and Mae Sod, suggesting that the extent of MOI and clinical manifestations of malaria are not strongly associated with genetic diversity.
Journal Article
An immunological factor that affects Anopheles gambiae survival
TL;DR: In this paper, high titers of antibodies against Anopheles gambiae midguts were produced in New Zealand rabbits to identify midgut targets for an antimosquito vaccine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical potential of passerine filariasis to enhance the enzootic transmission of West Nile virus.
Jefferson A. Vaughan,Joseph O. Mehus,Christina M. Brewer,Danielle Kay Kvasager,Sarina Bauer,Jessica L. Vaughan,Hassan K. Hassan,Thomas R. Unnasch,Jeffrey A. Bell +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the establishment and rapid spread of West Nile virus (WNV) across the mid-western United States found that mosquitoes, WNV, and passerine MF do interact in nature, and closer attention should be paid to the potential of MF to enhance mosquito transmission of arboviruses.
