    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).

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).

The greatest mean number of larvae/eel (75.1) was found in August 2000, whereas the fewest (2.3) was in July 2001. It is suggested that the prevalence and intensity of infection decreased within two months after the end of the rainy season and started to rise again about two months after the next rainy season began. A total of 5,532 Gnathostoma larvae were recovered from 555 infected eels, with a maximum number of 698 larvae/eel. The highest rates of Gnathostoma infection according to eel body length and weight were 87.5% in the group 91-100 cm, and 100% in groups of 901-1,100 g, respectively. There were significant correlations between eel body lengths and infection rates, body lengths and infection intensities; eel body weights were also significantly correlated with infection rates and infection intensities.
