    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Thailand – 2010 Asoke Chapel During 2009 the chapel at Asoke was remodeled. The outside was not modified much at all, but the inside was re-furbished throughout, new lighting in the chapel, new tile in the cultural hall, new doors and door trim. The main entry was extended outward to almost then end of the roof overhang. The most used entry is now the side entry at the front of the building. The International ward was the first to move back into the building last November, followed more recently by the Asoke ward. The stake offices can still be found at the rear of the building. Attendance at the International ward was about 150, with several nationalities represented. It was the last Sunday Robert Griffiths and his family were in Bangkok. They moved to Washington D.C. in preparation for his new assignment next year in Shanghai, China. More Photo 1- Asoke Building Exterior recently Duane Hurst has also returned back to the United States from the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. At the Asoke ward the attendance was about 90 people. Since Bishop Sarawut has been called as stake president the Asoke ward has a new bishop. Sherry and I had the opportunity to share our testimonies at the sacrament service. Elder McConkie translated for Sherry. Pakkret Chapel Under Construction Wisit Khanakham took us to the site of the new stake center size building being built in Nonthaburi province not far from the current church offices there.

Cause of last year’s floods in Thailand and measures to be taken in the future (1) 2011: the year that the world suffered large-scale natural disasters Last year was a year in which the world suffered a number of large-scale natural disasters, including the Great East Japan Earthquake and floods in Thailand (Figure 2-3-1-1). According to Munich Reinsurance Company (Munich RE) (2012), natural disasters in 2011 exerted the costliest toll in history, resulting in $380 billion worth of economic losses (Table 2-3-1-2).41 Although the number of natural catastrophes that occurred globally in 2011 was 820, nearly the same as the last 10 years’ average (790), the year was characterized by a significant loss from geophysical events, such as the Great East Japan Earthquake (total loss of $210 billion: the largest on the list) and the earthquake in New Zealand (total loss of $16 billion: third on the list), with nearly 60% of 2011’s losses attributable to these earthquakes. What distinguishes 2011 from other previous years is that normally, weather-related natural catastrophes cause most of the economic losses, with geophysical events accounting for less than 10% of insured losses over the past 30 years).

    Factors Associated with Seropositive Antibodies to Brucella Melitensis in the Nakhon Nayok, Thailand

    Factors Associated with Seropositive Antibodies to Brucella melitensis in the Nakhon Nayok, Thailand Chatchai Ekpanyaskul MD, MSc*, Somchai Santiwattanakul PhD**, Worapot Tantisiriwat MD, MPH*, Wanchai Buppanharun MD, MPH* * Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Srinakharinwirot University, Nakhon Nayok, Thailand ** Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Srinakharinwirot University, Nakhon Nayok, Thailand Backgroud: Human brucellosis is a re-emerging disease in Thailand. In 2006, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Nakorn Nayok province had diagnosed three cases of brucellosis which have never been reported in this area. Objective: To conduct an epidemiologic study with the aim of evaluating the sero-prevalence and factors associated with seropositive antibodies to Brucella melitensis among residents who live in the same sub-district of the first index case. Material and Method: In 2007, a study was conducted in Chumpon sub-district, Ongkharak district, Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand where the outbreak took place in the previous year. The 86 subjects were selected from three villages in the present study area. Blood specimens were collected and tested for antibodies for Brucella melitensis using a serum agglutination test. A structural interview questionnaire was used to detect any possible risk factors. A binary logistic regression was utilized for analyzing the statistical data. Results: Of all participants in the present study, 45.35% (95% CI; 34.61-56.08%) had seropositive antibodies to Brucella melitensis. Multivariate analysis indicated that factors associated with seropositive titers were highly related to contact with labored or aborted goats, adjusted odds ratio = 27.16 (95% CI = 1.02-721.53) and the consumption of raw goat products, adjusted odds ratio = 6.27 (95% CI = 1.25-31.36).

    GNATHOSTOMA IN FISH IN NAKHON NAYOK PROVINCE GNATHOSTOMA INFECTION IN FISH CAUGHT FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION IN NAKHON NAYOK PROVINCE, THAILAND I. PREVALENCE AND FISH SPECIES Wichit Rojekittikhun, Tossapon Chaiyasith, Supaporn Nuamtanong and Chalit Komalamisra Department of Helminthology, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Ratchawithi Road, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract. Between August 2000 and August 2001, 12,216 fish of 73 species were purchased from several local markets in Nakhon Nayok Province, Thailand, and examined for the presence of Gna- thostoma larvae. Almost all species were fresh-water fish that had grown naturally, rather than raised commercially. Eight species were found to be infected with gnathostome larvae. The overall preva- lence was 5.1% (626/12,216) and a total of 5,969 larvae was recovered. The highest rate of infection (30.1%) was found in Monopterus albus (swamp eel). The rates in the remaining infected fish were as follows: Anabas testudineus (climbing perch) 7.7%, Channa striata (striped snake-head fish) 7.4%, Clarius macrocephalus (Gunther’s walking catfish) 6.7%, Channa micropeltes (giant snake-head fish) 5.1%, Channa lucius (blotched snake-head fish) 4.0%, Clarius batrachus (Batrachian walking catfish) 1.4%, and Ompok krattensis (butter sheatfish) 0.6%. The mean number of larvae/fish was highest in swamp eels (10.0 larvae/eel), and the maximum number of 698 larvae was recovered from one eel. The body sizes of the recovered G. spinigerum advanced third-stage larvae were 2.70-5.10 mm in length (average, 3.97 ± 0.50 mm) and 0.29-0.60 mm in width (average, 0.40 ± 0.04 mm).
