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).

  • Gnathostoma Infection in Fish Caught for Local Consumption in Nakhon Nayok Province, Thailand
    SOUTHEAST ASIAN J TROP MED PUBLIC HEALTH GNATHOSTOMA INFECTION IN FISH CAUGHT FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION IN NAKHON NAYOK PROVINCE, THAILAND. II. SEASONAL VARIATION IN SWAMP EELS Wichit Rojekittikhun1, Tossapon Chaiyasith1 and Piyarat Butraporn2 1 Department of Helminthology, 2 Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract. From August 2000 to August 2001, 1,844 swamp eels (Monopterus albus) were purchased from several local markets in Nakhon Nayok Province, Thailand, and examined for the presence of Gnathostoma advanced third-stage larvae. The overall prevalence was 30.1% and the mean number of larvae/eel (infection intensity) was 10.0. The highest infection rate (44.1%) was found in August 2000 and the lowest (10.7%) in March 2001. The greatest mean number of larvae/eel (75.1) was found in August 2000, whereas the fewest (2.3) was in July 2001.
