Tit le: Gnathostomiasis in Thailand.
Principal Investigator: Professor Svarti Daengsvang, Med.D., Dr. P.H.
Assistant Investigators: Boonsiri Sermswatsri Pichit Youngyi, B.Sc. Dhawee Guname, B.Sc.
Period o f Report: 1 Ap r i l 1968-31 March 1969
OBJECTIVES _I__
The primary obiectives o f this study are to determine the prevalence o f Gnathostoma spinigerum in man and animals, to carry out c l in ical and epidemiologic studies, and to investigate the pathology, diagnostic methodology, treatment and prophylaxis o f gnathostomiasis in Thailand. Addit ional obiectives a te to further delineate the l i f e cycle and mode o f transmission o f the parasite and to ident i fy intermediate hosts, as well as to compare G. spinigerum with G. hispidum, G. doloresi and other gnathostomes o f
animals which are also present in Thailand that might be transmitted to man.
DESCRIPTION
The gastro-intestinal tracts o f dogs ki l led at the Bangkok-Thonburi Municipality Rabies Control Unit were regularly examined fo r the seasonal prevalence o f the gnathostome during the report period. Periodi- cally, examinations were made o f stomachs f rom pigs obtained from the Bangkok Slaughter House and once from the slaughter houses in the provinces o f Chiengmai, Supanburi, and Raiburi fo r infection with p ig gnathostomes and G. spinigerum. As opportunity permitted, stool examinations fo r gnothostome ova and
examination o f gastro-intestinal tracts were carried out on various species of animals, including domestic cats brought to the SMRL animal house for experimental purposes as well as on many wild-caught carnivores a t the Bangkok Zoo.
Each month, about 2 kg. o f fresh snake-headed fish were purchased in the markets o f Ayuthaya and Phetburi, endemic areas for human gnathostomiasis. These fish wore examined fo r the presence o f advanced third-stage larvae o f G. spinigerum. The data was used fo r estimation o f monthly or seasonal
prevalence rates in these areas. Additionally, examinations of many young snake-headed fish collected in the Bangkok area from public fresh-water ponds and ditches during the breeding season were made fo r a determination o f the earliest age a t which natural infection by advanced third-stage larvae can occur. Poisonous snakes from the Thai National Red Cross Snake Farm which died spontaneously were regularly examined fo r G. spinigerum and other gnathostome larvae.
Occasionally some vertebrates obtained from the Bangkok area and a few provincial vil lages were examined for the larvae. Skin penetration in definitive hosts (cats and dogs) by G. splniaerum advanced third-stage larvae and their development in these hosts were investigated. Moreover, penetration of rodent skin b y fu l l y developed larvae o f G. spinigerum from cyclops was studied. Studies o f skin sensitivity,
peripheral blood cells changes, and biochemical changes in the blood after oral infection with G. spingerum
advanced third-stage larvae are continuing on monkey #19.
An investigatian on the chemotherapy o f G. -. --- spinigerum infection in cats by parenteral Ancylol
Disophenol (American Cyanamid) was initiated.
A comparative study on the size and morphological characters for the identif ication o f G. spinigerum, G. hispidum, and G. doloresi began i n the previous year was continued during this period on addit ional
numbers o f the adults and larvae.
