Objective: To establish an animal model of (plerocercoid larva of ) infection in mice and observe the changes of blood routine examinations and serum anti-sparganum antibody levels after the infection.

Methods: The spargana tapeworms were collected from frogs, and 25 Kunming mice were orally infected with the tapeworms (3 tapeworms/mouse). Two days before the infection and 2, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days and 49 days after the infection, the peripheral blood samples of mice were collected for the blood routine examinations and the detections of anti- IgG antibody with ELISA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the prevalence of Toxoplasma (TOX) infection among pregnant women in Lhasa City, Tibet, and identify related risk factors.
  • Researchers tested blood samples from 600 pregnant women in Lhasa and compared the results with 450 women from Jiangsu Province, finding a significantly higher infection rate in Lhasa (16.50% vs. 5.11%).
  • The study concluded that due to the high TOX infection rates in Lhasa, there is a need for proactive measures like health education and early medical interventions to reduce infection risks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Wondfo Rapid Diagnostic Kit (Pf-LDH/Pan-pLDH) for detecting malaria and understand how factors like parasitaemia, pLDH concentration, and gene polymorphism affect its performance.
  • A total of 100 blood samples confirmed by PCR were tested, revealing varying positive detection rates based on levels of parasitaemia and pLDH concentration, with a general success rate of 70% overall.
  • The results showed that while high parasitaemia and pLDH concentration improved detection rates, the polymorphism of the pLDH gene did not significantly impact the kit's performance.

Objective: To study the detection effects of ELISA for the infections of Cysticercus, Echinococcosus, Paragonimus westermani and Sparganum mansoni in order to improve diagnosis.

Methods: The patients who admitted to Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Diseases from 2008 to 2001 were selected as the subjects and their sera were detected for IgG against Cysticercus, Echinococcosus, and Paragonimus westermani from January 2008 to March 2011, and IgG against Sparganum mansoni since June, 2011 by ELISA.

Results: A total of 282 cases were detected, and 88 of them were found one or two positive results, and the total positive rate was 31.
