Journal ArticleDOI
Liver fluke induces cholangiocarcinoma.
Banchob Sripa,Sasithorn Kaewkes,Paiboon Sithithaworn,Eimorn Mairiang,Thewarach Laha,Michael J. Smout,Chawalit Pairojkul,Vajaraphongsa Bhudhisawasdi,Smarn Tesana,Bandit Thinkamrop,Jeffrey M. Bethony,Alex Loukas,Paul J. Brindley +12 more
TL;DR: The authors discuss the molecular pathogenesis of opisthorchiasis and associated cholangiocarcinogenesis, particularly nitrative and oxidative DNA damage and the clinical manifestations of cholANGiOCarcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of human intestinal helminthiasis in Lao PDR.
Somphou Sayasone,Youthanavane Vonghajack,Monely Vanmany,Oroth Rasphone,Smarn Tesana,Jürg Utzinger,Kongsap Akkhavong,Peter Odermatt +7 more
TL;DR: Polytrematode infection is highly prevalent in Lao PDR and hence requires urgent attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between faecal egg count and worm burden of Opisthorchis viverrini in human autopsy cases.
Paiboon Sithithaworn,Smarn Tesana,V. Pipitgool,Sasithorn Kaewkes,Chawalit Pairojkul,Banchob Sripa,Anucha Paupairoj,K. Thaiklar +7 more
TL;DR: The relationship between faecal examination for egg output and worm burden of Opisthorchis viverrini in man of 181 autopsy cases from Northeast Thailand is described and the accuracy of egg counts for estimating worm burden and its relevance to parasite epidemiological research are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonography assessment of hepatobiliary abnormalities in 3359 subjects with Opisthorchis viverrini infection in endemic areas of Thailand.
Eimorn Mairiang,Thewarach Laha,Jeffrey M. Bethony,Bandit Thinkhamrop,Sasithorn Kaewkes,Paiboon Sithithaworn,Smarn Tesana,Alex Loukas,Paul J. Brindley,Banchob Sripa +9 more
TL;DR: This study found a significantly higher frequency of advanced periductal fibrosis in persons with chronic opisthorchiasis (23.6%), particularly in males, and emphasized the current status of high O. viverrini infection rate and the existence of hepatobiliary abnormalities including suspected CCA in opistHorchiasis endemic areas of Thailand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of a species complex within the food-borne trematode Opisthorchis viverrini and possible co-evolution with their first intermediate hosts.
Weerachai Saijuntha,Paiboon Sithithaworn,Sopit Wongkham,Thewarach Laha,V. Pipitgool,Smarn Tesana,Neil B. Chilton,Trevor N. Petney,Trevor N. Petney,Ross H. Andrews +9 more
TL;DR: The results of the genetic analyses are sufficient to reject the null hypothesis that O. viverrini represents a single species and suggest that there may be a history of co-evolution in this host–parasite lineage.
