Hantavirus is considered as a new emerging rodent borne infectious disease that can result in hemorrhagic fever with severe lung and renal complications[1]. The control of disease relies on several methods including the control of the rodents. In Southeast Asia, the problem is also common. The data on the local epidemiology of prevalence of hantavirus contamination in local rodents is very useful for public health strategies planning. In Thailand, a tropical country in Southeast Asia, hantavirus is also considered as an important emerging disease to be focused. To archive the complete data on the prevalence of hantavirus contamination in local rodents in Thailand, the authors hereby present a meta-analysis to identify the prevalence rate of hantavirus contamination in local rodents. The publications from international and local databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Thai Index Medicus) were searched and there are at least four reports[2-5] on this topic. The pool estimation for the pooled prevalence is done. The resulted pooled prevalence is 6.798% (95% CI = 5.449%–8.384%). There is no difference of studied prevalence according to time and place of the studies. The result can indicate that there is a high rate of contamination of the virus in rodents in Thailand and there should be an urgent attention for disease surveillance in Thailand. Conflict of interest statement
汉坦病毒被认为是一种新出现的啮齿动物传播的传染病，可导致出血热并伴有严重的肺部和肾脏并发症[1]。疾病的控制依赖于几种方法，包括控制啮齿动物。在东南亚，这个问题也很普遍。汉坦病毒污染在当地啮齿动物中流行的当地流行病学数据对公共卫生战略规划非常有用。在东南亚热带国家泰国，汉坦病毒也被认为是一种需要关注的重要新兴疾病。为了存档泰国当地啮齿动物中汉坦病毒污染流行率的完整数据，作者在此提出一项荟萃分析，以确定汉坦病毒感染在当地啮齿动物中的流行率。检索了国际和当地数据库（PubMed、Science Direct、Scopus和Thai Index Medicus）的出版物，至少有四份关于该主题的报告[2-5]。对合并流行率进行了合并估计。合并患病率为6.798%（95%CI=5.449%-8.384%）。研究的患病率根据研究的时间和地点没有差异。这一结果表明，该病毒在泰国啮齿动物中的污染率很高，应立即关注泰国的疾病监测。利益冲突声明

Objective: The objectives of this study were to detect the occurrence of Cryptosporidium oocysts and to assess the physico-chemical and heavy metal parameters in two main rivers in Kuantan. Methods: Water samples were collected at three sampling points per river (upstream, midstream, downstream) from Kuantan River and Balok River. Samples were filtered using the Continuous Flow Centrifugation (CFC) machine followed by immunomagnetic separation technique to isolate Cryptosporidium oocysts and stained using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) –staining. Cryptosporidium oocysts were examined using fluorescence microscope. Physical parameters were assessed in-situ using Cyber Scan PCD 650 multi-parameter instrument. Both chemical and heavy metal assessment were done in the laboratory following the American Public Health Association (APHA) Standard Method with slight modification. The parameters attained were compared with the Interim National Water Quality Standards (INWQS) which is the standard vital parameters used to evaluate the safety level of surface water in Malaysia. Results: All samples were positive with Cryptosporidium oocysts. Results for physical parameters were within the range of Interim National Water Quality Standards (INWQS) in Malaysia. For chemical assessment, results for chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand exceeded the INWQS range in most of the sampling points. Of 23 metal elements assessed, only 9 elements were found. Both Kuantan River and Balok River can be classified under Class III river following INWQS which requires extensive treatment. Conclusions: This study hoped to provide new and updated information on the occurrence of Cryptosporidium and its physico-chemical assessment in two main rivers in Kuantan. Future study on molecular identification of Cryptosporidium in rivers needs to be done in order to identify the source of transmission of this waterborne parasite.
