PCR detection of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae: a potential tool for the field
Despite decades of prevention and control efforts, the water-borne parasitic disease schistosomiasis remains endemic in 74 of the world’s developing nations. Five species of the Schistosoma trematode are pathogenic to humans; S. japonicum is the infective agent of schistosomiasis in China and the Philippines. The purpose of this research is to develop a sensitive and specific technique for the ...
متن کاملFormation and Controlled Drug Release Using a Three-Component Supramolecular Hydrogel for Anti-Schistosoma Japonicum Cercariae
A novel three-component supramolecular hydrogel based on riboflavin, melamine and amino acid derivatives were constructed for controlled release of pesticides, Niclosamide derivatives. The formation of hydrogel may be attributed to self-assemble via hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction, which have been researched via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spec...
متن کاملA novel coagulation inhibitor from Schistosoma japonicum.
Little is known about the molecular mechanisms whereby the human blood fluke Schistosoma japonicum is able to survive in the host venous blood system. Protease inhibitors are likely released by the parasite enabling it to avoid attack by host proteolytic enzymes and coagulation factors. Interrogation of the S. japonicum genomic sequence identified a gene, SjKI-1, homologous to that encoding a s...
متن کاملField detection of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae in environmental water samples by quantitative PCR.
A species-specific quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was combined with two novel water-sampling methods and compared with the mouse bioassay for the quantitative detection of S. japonicum in surface waters. The novel methods were capable of capturing cercariae and, with subsequent analysis through qPCR, detecting the presence of a minimum of 1 cercaria.
متن کاملQuantitative Detection of Schistosoma japonicum Cercariae in Water by Real-Time PCR
In China alone, an estimated 30 million people are at risk of schistosomiasis, caused by the Schistosoma japonicum parasite. Disease has re-emerged in several regions that had previously attained transmission control, reinforcing the need for active surveillance. The environmental stage of the parasite is known to exhibit high spatial and temporal variability, and current detection techniques r...
