Previous molecular genetic analyses indicate that Opisthorchis viverrini is a complex of at least 2 cryptic species in Thailand and the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR). Opisthorchis viverrini sensu lato (s.l.) populations can be divided into 6 genetic groups, which correlate with 5 different river wetlands systems. The present study examines the infectivity, growth, fecundity, and body size of O. viverrini s.l. isolates from these systems. Worm recovery was lowest in the Songkhram River, which differed significantly from all other wetland systems. In addition, the Chi River and Nam Ngum River populations also differed significantly. A similar pattern was found for fecundity. These results support the genetic/molecular data indicating a subdivision of O. viverrini populations on the basis of watershed and that propose the existence of cryptic species in Thailand and the Lao PDR.
About Me
Weerachai Saijuntha is Associate Professor of Genetic at the Faculty of Medicine, Mahasarakham University. His research interests include the molecular systematic and population genetic of terrestrial animals, parasites, and vectors in Southeast Asia, main focused on pathogenic parasites and their snail intermediate hosts. He has been active in genetic variation research of medially important trematodes and the bithyniid snails for 15 years and has published over 90 peer reviewed original research articles, reviewer articles, and book chapters. Resulting from this research, he has receiving a number of national and international awards for his work.
