Journal ArticleDOI
Direct characterization of Blastocystis from faeces by PCR and evidence of zoonotic potential.
Unaiza Parkar,Rebecca J. Traub,S. Kumar,Mathirut Mungthin,Simone Vitali,Saovanee Leelayoova,Keith Morris,R.C.A. Thompson +7 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to provide molecular-based evidence supporting the zoonotic potential of Blastocystis in dogs, possums and primates in a natural setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential detection of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii by a single-round PCR assay.
Zulhainan Hamzah,Songsak Petmitr,Mathirut Mungthin,Saovanee Leelayoova,Porntip Chavalitshewinkoon-Petmitr +4 more
TL;DR: This PCR assay is proposed for use as an accurate, rapid, and effective diagnostic method for the detection and discrimination of these three morphologically indistinguishable Entamoeba species in both routine diagnosis of amoebiasis and epidemiological surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking water: a possible source of Blastocystis spp. subtype 1 infection in schoolchildren of a rural community in central Thailand.
Saovanee Leelayoova,Suradej Siripattanapipong,Umaporn Thathaisong,Tawee Naaglor,Paanjit Taamasri,Phunlerd Piyaraj,Mathirut Mungthin +6 more
TL;DR: The information supports the evidence of water-borne transmission in this population of schoolchildren and identifies one water sample as subtype 1, which had a nucleotide sequence of small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene that was 100% identical to that of Blastocystis infected in schoolchildren.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oh my aching gut: irritable bowel syndrome, Blastocystis, and asymptomatic infection
Kenneth Boorom,Huw V. Smith,Laila F. Nimri,Laila F. Nimri,Eric Viscogliosi,Gregory Spanakos,Unaiza Parkar,Lan-Hua Li,Xiao-Nong Zhou,Ülgen Z. Ok,Saovanee Leelayoova,Morris S. Jones +11 more
TL;DR: Findings are discussed concerning the role of protease-activated receptor-2 in enteric disease which may account for the presence of abdominal pain and diffuse symptoms in Blastocystis infection, even in the absence of fever and endoscopic findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new PCR-based approach indicates the range of Clonorchis sinensis now extends to Central Thailand.
Rebecca J. Traub,Julie Macaranas,Mathirut Mungthin,Saovanee Leelayoova,Thomas H. Cribb,K. Darwin Murrell,R.C. Andrew Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: An immediate finding of this study is the identification and first report of a C. sinensis–endemic community in central Thailand, extending the known range of this liver fluke in Southeast Asia.
