Icofab2020 International Conference on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology ICoFAB2020 International Conference on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Preface The Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University (MSU), Thailand initiated the 1st International Postgraduate Symposium on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology in 2014 (IPSFAB 2014) with the main aims to provide a stage for Thai and international postgraduates to present their research at the international stage. In 2018, the symposium had been renamed as ‘International Conference on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology (ICoFAB)’ to include postgraduates, researchers and lecturers as primary participants and this has continued so till this day. Our conferences in the past six years (2014 – 2019) have been successful and continued to grow in terms of turn outs and partnerships with international institutes. We have been honored by distinguished scientific committees who kindly have contributed to our Proceedings continually, audiences and renowed keynote/invited speakers from the fields of Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology from around the world. Every year, the potential academic networks or research collaborations amongst Thai and international researchers have been developed. Due to the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic around the globe in 2020, our conference has been transformed to the virtual online format to encourage continuous sharing of research knowledge and close academic networking in spite of social physical distancing. We hope that the 7th ICoFAB2020 virtual conference would bring you fruitful discussions and future research collaborative networks amongst national and international researchers while you can stay safe at home or at workplace during this difficult time.

Schelp4 Introduction Infections and nutritional deficiencies are well known high risk factors especially in pregnant and lactating women: "Pregnancy alters susceptibility to infection and risk of disease which can lead to deterioration in maternal health" and "infections during pregnancy frequently influence the outcome of pregnancy" (1). This is true primarily of viral, bacterial and protozoal infections. With regard to human helminthiases, knowledge is less common as interactions between helminthiases and pregnancy have mainly been studied only in experimentally in- fected animals. Such experiments have shown that pregnant animals and their offspring are more susceptible to infections with certain helminth species if compared with control groups.

Data was collected by document research, observation, interview and focus group discussion. Results show that temples suffer from a lack of maintenance, poor service, inadequate tourist facilities, minimal community participation and inefficient public relations. A management model to combat these problems was designed by parties from each temple at a workshop. The model provides an eight-part strategy to increase the tourism potential of temples in Bangkok: temple site, safety, conveniences, attractions, services, public relations, cultural tourism and management. Keywords: management, cultural tourism, temples, Thailand, development 1. Introduction When Chao Phraya Chakri deposed King Taksin of the Thonburi Kingdom in 1982, he relocated the Siamese capital city to Bangkok and revived society under the name of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom (Prathepweti, 1995). Although royal monasteries had been commissioned much earlier in Thai history, there was a particular interest in their restoration during the reign of the Rattanakosin monarchs.

On the basis of a review of available literature, original field observations and examination of museum collections, a preliminary list of 81 species (12 chelonians, 2 crocodiles, 23 lizards, and 44 snakes) is established, of which 52 (64 %) are reported from the province for the first time. The possible presence of additional species is discussed. Some biological data on the new specimens are provided including some range extensions and new size records. The herpetofauna of Phetchaburi shows strong Sundaic affinities, with about 88 % of the recorded species being also found south of the Isthmus of Kra. A biogeographic affinity analysis suggests that the Isthmus of Kra plays the role of a biogeographic filter, due both to the repeated changes in climate during the Quaternary and to the current increase of the dry season duration along the peninsula from south to north.
