From The first report on internal transcribed spacer region-based characterization of Microfilaria in Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus) in Thailand
Location: Elephant Kingdom Project, Zoological Park Organization of Thailand, Tha Tum, Surin, Thailand

Filarial infections can significantly impact the health of both humans and animals. In elephants, filariasis has been associated with cutaneous dermatitis and skin nodules. However, molecular evidence for such infections is limited in Thailand. This study aimed to identify the morphological and molecular characteristics of Microfilaria in captive Asian elephants in Thailand. Conventional PCR revealed that approximately 17% (22/129) of the sampled elephants were positive for Microfilaria. Microscopy revealed that microfilariae are large, unsheathed, with extended nuclei, a short headspace, and a curved tail tapering at the end. Microfilaria infection was not associated with age; however, microfilariae were more likely to be detected in male elephants due to differences in management systems.
