SITES AND AKEKAWAT VITHEEPRADIT Enns Entomology Museum, Division of Plant Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211, USA Abstract A new genus with six new species of Naucoridae inhabiting waterfalls of Indochina are described from a decade of aquatic insect collections in Thailand and Vietnam. Namtokocoris Sites NEW GENUS is diagnosed by a pair of promi- nent scutellar protuberances, the prosternal midline bears an expansive, thin, plate-like carina, the forelegs of both sexes have a one-segmented tarsus apparently fused with the tibia, and a single claw. Prominent linear series of stout hairs occur on the hemelytra, although this attribute is not unique within the subfamily. Despite the lack of sexual dimorphism in the forelegs, this new genus is a member of the subfamily Laccocorinae, an assignment based on other characters con- sistent with this subfamily. Character states of this genus are compared with those of other Asian genera of Laccocori- nae. The type species, Namtokocoris siamensis Sites NEW SPECIES, is widely distributed from northern through eastern Thailand in waterfalls of several mountain ranges. Namtokocoris khlonglan Sites NEW SPECIES was collected only at Namtok Khlong Lan at Khlong Lan National Park. Namtokocoris minor Sites NEW SPECIES was collected at two waterfalls near the border with Burma in Kanchanaburi Province and is the smallest species known.

  • Sedimentary Characteristics of Sand Dune from Bang Berd, Chumphon Province, Southern Thailand
    28 Sedimentary characteristics of sand dune from Bang Berd, Chumphon Province, Southern Thailand Nattawut Prachantasen1, Montri Choowong2*, Santi Pailoplee2 and Sumet Phantuwongraj2 1 International Logging Overseas Ltd., Bangkok, Thailand 2 Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The stratigraphy and sedimentary structures within Bang Berd dune field suggest a geological history that includes paleo-storm deposits. The goal of this project is to characterize the sand dunes in terms of their sedimentological features, including grain size distribution, internal sedimentary structures, wind direction indicators and documenting the evidence for paleo-storm deposits in this area. On aerial photographs, the dunes are aligned in N- W and S-E wind directions. Sand dunes here can be divided, on the basis of their geographic position and their morphological features into 3 units, outer dunes, middle dunes and inner dunes. Interestingly, sedimentary structures within the sand dune are very rare; only well developed inclined lamination can distinguish washover deposits from dune deposits. Both wind-blown and washover sands are very fine-grained, well to very well sorted and subrounded to rounded. The deposition of washover deposits that cover the outer dunes that is aligned in an almost east-west direction may indicate unusual paleo-storm pathways strike into the areas based on alternated washover deposits and dune sequence during 93+18 and 126+14 years ago. Key words: sand dune, washover, OSL, Bang Berd 1. INTRODUCTION Sand dunes occur in many environments, including along sea coasts, lake shores and desert. The direction and velocity of wind, in addition to the local supply of sand, result in a variety of dune shapes and sizes (Fritz and Moore., 1987).

  • Surveillance of Imported Bancroftian Filariasis After Two-Year Multiple-Dose Diethylcarbamazine Treatment
    SOUTHEAST ASIAN J TROP MED PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCE OF IMPORTED BANCROFTIAN FILARIASIS AFTER TWO-YEAR MULTIPLE-DOSE DIETHYLCARBAMAZINE TREATMENT Surachart Koyadun1 and Adisak Bhumiratana2 1Office of Disease Prevention and Control 11 (Nakhon Si Thammarat), Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, Nakhon Si Thammarat; 2Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Public Health, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract. Myanmar migrants are at increased risk for nocturnally periodic Wuchereria bancrofti causing imported bancroftian filariasis. They have a significant influence on the effectiveness of diethylcar- bamazine (DEC) mass treatment at the provincial level in the National Program to Eliminate Lym- phatic Filariasis (PELF) during the fiscal years (FY) 2002-2006, in Thailand. Two oral doses of DEC 6 mg/kg are given twice a year to the eligible Myanmar migrants (≥2 years old). A 300 mg DEC provo- cation test is given once a year to all Myanmar migrants with work permits. Effectiveness evaluation parameters, such as cumulative index (CI) and the effectiveness ratio (ER), were obtained after 2 years of the multiple-dose DEC treatment program in Ranong Province, Southern Thailand. By cross- sectional night blood surveys at the end of FY 2003 in two districts of Ranong Province, the microfi- larial positive rates (MPR) were 0.8% and 1.2% for Mueang Ranong and Kra Buri, respectively. The MPR in the agricultural (1.5%) and industrial (0.4%) occupations were not significantly different from each other. Our findings suggest that most untreated microfilaremics working in agriculture, with short-term residency in Thailand, may have delayed multiple-dose DEC treatment.
