Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of Dengue Virus in Naturally Infected Human Tissues, by Immunohistochemistry and In Situ Hybridization
TL;DR: Tissue specimens from patients with serologically or virologically confirmed dengue infections are studied by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH), to localize viral antigen and RNA, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings from this study highlight the widespread distribution of P. knowlesi infection in many Peninsular Malaysia states, including Sabah and Sarawak, which have been known for high prevalence of the parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and molecular identification of mosquito species in the Anopheles maculatus group using the ITS2 region of rDNA.

TL;DR: The species diversity and genetic structure of mosquitoes belonging to the Anopheles maculatus group in Southeast Asia were investigated using the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), indicating the presence of at least one hitherto unrecognised species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxoplasmosis: prevalence and risk factors
Veeranoot Nissapatorn,M. A. Noor Azmi,S M Cho,Mun Yik Fong,I Init,M Rohela,A. Khairul Anuar,K F Quek,H M Latt +8 more
TL;DR: The differences in Toxoplasma seroprevalence rates among the races were significant: the highest rate was in the Malays, followed by the Indian, the Chinese and the Chinese populations (P < 0.05) populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific, sensitive and rapid detection of human plasmodium knowlesi infection by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in blood samples
Yee Ling Lau,Mun Yik Fong,Rohela Mahmud,Phooi Yee Chang,Vanitha Palaeya,Fei Wen Cheong,Lit Chien Chin,C. Anthony,Abdulsalam M. Al-Mekhlafi,Yeng Chen +9 more
TL;DR: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), a novel nucleic acid amplification method was developed for the clinical detection of P. knowlesi malaria parasites and demonstrated higher sensitivity compared to nested PCR by successfully detecting a sample with very low parasitaemia (< 0.01%).
