Comparative study on rapid dot-immunogold staining and two immunogold silver staining assays for diagnosing schistosomiasis japonica.

A fast, specific, sensitive, convenient, and economical rapid-dot-immunogold staining (R-Dot-IGS) assay was used to detect serum antibodies in patients infected with Schistosoma japonicum. The soluble egg antigen of Schistosoma japonicum was added onto microspore membrane. After pre-reacting and blocking, the serum to be detected and sheep anti-human IgG labeled with chloroauric acid were added sequentially. The assay took 15 minutes. For comparison, the dot-immunogold silver staining (Dot-IGSS) and rapid micro-volume Dot-IGSS (RM-Dot-IGSS) assay were also performed. The positive rate to detect the serum of schistosomiasis japonica by the R-Dot-IGS, Dot-IGSS and RM-Dot-IGSS assay was 98%, 98% and 100%, respectively. Samples from 50 healthy controls, 10 cases of clonorchiasis, and 10 cases of paragonimiasis showed negative reactions except for one case of clonorchiasis with RM-Dot-IGSS assay. Compared with Dot-IGSS and RM-Dot-IGSS, R-Dot-IGS assay has similar sensitivity and specificity, but the latter is quicker, simpler, and cheaper. Therefore, R-Dot-IGS is strongly recommended for rapid diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica both in epidemiological study and in the clinic.

Isolation and Identification of an Isolate of Cow-origin Cryptosporidium sp / 中国寄生虫学与寄生虫病杂志

Objective To isolate and identify Cryptosporidium oocysts from feces of naturally infected cow. Methods Fecal samples were collected from Cryptosporidium infected cows confirmed by modified acid-fast staining method. Oocysts were isolated and purified with Sheather sucrose density gradient centrifugation technique. Genomic DNA was isolated with Chelex-100. Both primers were designed to amplify Cryptosporidium small subunit ribosome RNA gene (SSU rRNA) and Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein gene (COWP), respectively. The PCR products were cloned into pGEM-T and pGEM-T Easy vector and sequenced subsequently. Homology and phylogeny were analyzed with BLASTn and MEGA software. Results The results suggested that the size of oocysts was (7.4?0.32)?m by(5.4?0.21)?m and the ratio of length and width was 1.37?0.07 (n=20). BLASTn revealed that the identity of SSU rRNA and COWP gene of Cryptosporidium isolated from cow to the counterparts of C.andersoni was 100% and 99% respectively. Phylogenetic reconstruction placed the isolated Cryptosporidium within the C.andersoni clade based on the sequence of SSU rRNA and COWP gene. Conclusion What isolated from naturally infected cow feces has been identified as C. andersoni.
