In this study, we investigated the presence of Zika virus (ZIKV)-specific antibodies and the significance of their cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses, which could affect the serological specificity in both symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women. Among the results obtained from 217 serum samples tested for ZIKV-specific IgM and IgG, no specific predictions regarding seropositivity or exposure due to extensive cross-reactivity with dengue virus (DENV) serology could be made. Clear-cut positivity was observed in 1.8% (n = 4) and 1.0% (n = 2) for ZIKV IgM and IgG, respectively. The same samples assessed for DENV showed 1.3% (n = 3) seropositivity each for IgM and IgG levels. None of the samples were positive for ZIKV and DENV IgM or IgG. However, one sample (0.4%) tested positive for ZIKV and DENV IgM. No significant correlation was observed between DENV IgM and IgG when comparing the overlapped serotiters. On the other hand, the ZIKV IgG-positive sample showed higher serotiters for DENV IgG, indicating cross-reactivity with ZIKV but without statistical significance. Therefore, screening for the incidence of ZIKV becomes particularly challenging in a population where the presence or pre-exposure to DENV is observed. Our observations further suggest that unless flavivirus prevalence is properly addressed, determining the prevalence of ZIKV antibodies, which may be confounded with other uninvestigated flaviviruses, will be complicated.","PeriodicalId":101343,"journal":{"name":"Tropical biomedicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61567144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The acaricidal, larvicidal, and repellent activity of SNP against H. dromedarii was studied through the adult immersion test (AIT), the larval packet test (LPT), the vertical movement behavior of tick's larvae method, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and oxidative enzyme activity. The green synthesized SNP displayed a spherical form with a size ranging from 25-90 nm; whereas the most distribution of particles size was reported at 50-65 nm. SNP dose-dependently (p<0.001) increased the mortality rate of H. dromedarii adult; whereas at 16 and 32 µg/mL completely killed the adult females. Treatment of exposure of H. dromedarii adult to SNP markedly (p<0.001) declined the mean number, weight, and hatchability of eggs. Treatment of H. dromedarii larvae with SNP reduced the viability rate of larvae with the LC50 and LC90 values of 3.1 and 6.9 µg/mL, respectively. Exposure of H. dromedarii larvae to SNP, especially at ½ LC50 and LC50, markedly (p<0.001) increased the oxidative stress and declined the level of antioxidant enzymes in H. dromedarii larvae; whereas, markedly suppressed the AChE activity of the larvae stage of H. dromedarii in comparison to the control group. These results showed that SNP green synthesized by L. albus extract had promising acaricidal, larvicidal and repellent activity against H. dromedarii adults and larvae as a dose-dependent response.

However, such information is limited to only small sample-size DNA barcoding studies. Therefore, in this study, we used mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) to examine genetic structure and diversity of C. peregrinus from northeastern Thailand. In addition, we also inferred genetic relationships between C. peregrinus from Thailand and those reported from other countries across the geographic range of the species. Maximum intraspecific genetic divergence (3.83%) within Thai specimens was relatively high compared to other Culicoides species. Genetic structure analysis revealed that 71% (32 from 45) of population comparisons were highly significantly different. A high level of genetic structure among populations, even between those in close geographic proximity (22 km geographic distance) suggested that there has been little or no movement between local populations. This is possibly due to the ability to exploit diverse types of breeding site and a generalist feeding habit which enables C. peregrinus to complete its life cycle within cattle pens. Genetic relationships between Thai C. peregrinus and those reported from other countries revealed three genetically divergent lineages (A, B and C) associated with geographic origins. Specimens from Thailand + China formed lineage A, those from Australia formed lineage B and India + Bangladesh belonged to lineage C. These genetically divergent lineages also agree with morphological variation of the wing pale marking spots. Further investigation using independent genetic loci from nuclear genes will be very useful to resolve taxonomic status of these divergent lineages.","PeriodicalId":101343,"journal":{"name":"Tropical biomedicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61567133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study therefore aimed to investigate the usefulness of Pkmsp-1 block IV in assessing the MOI of P. knowlesi in clinical isolates from Malaysia. Two allele-specific PCR primer pairs targeting the two allelic families of block IV (T1 and T2) were designed, and used to genotype P. knowlesi in 200 blood samples (100 from Peninsular Malaysia and 100 from Malaysian Borneo). Results showed that the mean MOI in Malaysian Borneo was slightly higher as compared to Peninsular Malaysia (1.58 and 1.40, respectively). Almost half of the total blood samples from Malaysian Borneo (52%) had polyclonal infections (i.e., more than one allele of any family type) as compared to Peninsular Malaysia (33%) samples. The T1 allelic family was more prevalent in Peninsular Malaysia (n=75) than in Malaysian Borneo (n=60). The T2 allelic family, however, was more prevalent in the Malaysian Borneo (n=87 vs n=53 respectively). This study shows that the single locus Pkmsp-1 block IV can serve as a simple alternative genetic marker for estimating knowlesi malaria MOI in a population.

Detection of PCV4 have been reported in various production stages of pigs from piglets, finishers to sows; associated with a myriad of clinical manifestations including porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS), postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), respiratory, enteric and neurological diseases. While successful virus isolation and culture has yet to be reported, pathogenicity of PCV4 has been demonstrated through infectious clone studies. The objective of this study is to investigate the presence of PCV4 in Malaysian porcine population to update the epidemiology of porcine circoviruses in Malaysia. A total of 49 samples from commercial intensive pig farms, abattoir and wild boar population were subjected to conventional polymerase chain reaction assay to detect PCV4 capsid (cap) genome. Resulting cap nucleotide sequences were analyzed for maximum likelihood phylogeny relationship. Results revealed that PCV4 is present in Peninsular Malaysia at a molecular prevalence of 4.08% (2 / 49 samples). Both PCV4 positive samples originated from clinically healthy finishers. Malaysian PCV4 strains were classified as genotype PCV4b, and were found to be phylogenetically distinct from the China, South Korea and Thailand strains.

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 230 patients with periodontal disease, who visited the oral health center of Suranaree University of Technology Hospital, Thailand from 2021 to 2022. Dental plaque specimens were collected and examined to identify the presence of T. tenax using the PCR-based 18S rRNA gene. The occurrence of factors associated with T. tenax infection was analyzed by the chi-square test and binary logistic regression. The prevalence of T. tenax infection was 13.48% (31/230), in patients, including 96.77% (30/31) and 3.23% (1/31) in periodontitis and gingivitis patients, respectively.
