Investigations of parasites and pathogens in murine rodents have helped to describe the implication of the main species and understand the different ways of transmission. From wild to anthropized habitats, rodents can be reservoirs, hosts or vectors of infectious organisms. Related species can react very differently to the same pathogens, with pivotal implications for the understanding of their natural circulation. Scrub typhus is transmitted to humans through the bites of trombiculid mites that have previously fed on infected rodents, generally occurring in wild habitats. Leptospirosis can affect people without any direct contact with infected rodents, but by indirect spread in agricultural areas. Parasitic diseases, such as toxoplasmosis and trypanosomiasis benefit from the proximity of rodents to domesticated animals to jump from one vector to another before reaching humans. By occupying almost all biotopes and by rapidly adapting to environmental changes, rodents are fundamental in the maintenance and transmission of an impressive number of infectious organisms to humans. |
หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Streptococcus suis Isolated from Slaughter Pigs in Northern Thailand) ผู้เขียน:ดร.ณัฐกานต์ มีขนอน, รองศาสตราจารย์ , ดร.ศราวรรณ แก้วมงคล(ธนศิลป์), รองศาสตราจารย์ , ดร.พรพิมล เมธีนุกูล, ผู้ช่วยศาสตราจารย์ , Anamika Karnchanabanthoeng, Khomsan Satchasataporn, นายณรงค์ อาบกิ่ง , ดร.วรวุฒิ ฤกษ์อำนวยโชค, รองศาสตราจารย์ สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractStreptococcus suis is an important zoonotic agent globally, including Thailand, especially in the northern part, where periodic outbreaks have occurred recently. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. suis isolated from slaughter pigs in northern Thailand. A total of 125 salivary glands and 116 tonsillar swabs were collected from 190 slaughter pigs in six slaughter houses during the summer of 2008. In the winter of 2009, 117 salivary glands and 115 tonsillar swabs were collected from 193 slaughter pigs at the same processing plants. Samples were cultured out on Columbia blood agar and the suspected colonies were confirmed by conventional biochemical tests. The prevalence of S. suis isolated from healthy slaughter pigs in northern Thailand sampled in summer and winter was 20% (38/190) and 7.3% (14/193), respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing indicated that the most effective antimicrobial drugs against S. suis were ceftiofur (96%), ampicillin (73%) and amoxicillin (69%), respectively. |
