This study attempts to create the first health informatics model of helminthiasis in Thailand. The authors investigate how a health informatics model could be used to predict the control and eradication in a national control campaign. Fish-borne helminthiasis caused by <jats:italic>Opisthorchis viverrini<\/jats:italic> remains a major public health problem in many parts of South-East Asia, including Thailand, Lao PDR, Vietnam and Cambodia. The epicentre of this disease is located in north-east Thailand, where high prevalence coexists with a high incidence of cholangiocarcinoma (CHCA). The current report was conducted to determine a mathematical model of surveillance for helminthiasis while also using a geographic information system. The fish-borne helminthiasis model or the predicted equation was Y1 = 3.028 + 0.020 (elevation) \u2013 2.098 (clay). For soil-transmitted helminthiasis, the mathematical model or the predicted equation was Y2 = \u22121.559 + 0.005 (rainfall) + 0.004 (elevation) \u2212 2.198 (clay). The Ministry of Public Health has concluded that mass treatment for helminthiasis in the Thai population, targeting high-risk individuals, may be a cost-effective way to allocate limited funds. This type of approach, as well as further study on the correlation of clinical symptoms with environmental and geographic information, may offer a novel strategy to the helminth crisis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x16000614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,26]],"date-time":"2016-09-26T06:53:43Z","timestamp":1474872823000},"page":"528-533","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Health informatics model for helminthiasis in Thailand"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Nithikathkul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Trevanich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Wongsaroj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Wongsawad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Reungsang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref13","first-page":"687","article-title":"Geographic information system of Opisthorchis riverine in northeast Thailand","volume":"5","author":"Wattanayingcharoenchai","year":"2011","journal-title":"Asian Biomedicine"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0001427"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref9","first-page":"283","article-title":"Enterobiasis infection among Thai school children: spatial analysis using a geographic information system","volume":"2","author":"Nithikathkul","year":"2008","journal-title":"Asian Biomedicine"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5372\/1905-7415.0806.357"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref8","first-page":"274","article-title":"Liver flukes","volume":"26","author":"Nithikathkul","year":"2000","journal-title":"Communicable Diseases Journal"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra064142"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/bs.apar.2015.01.001"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pt.2015.03.007"},{"key":"S0022149X16000614_ref15","unstructured":"WHO (World Health Organization).
