Genetic diversity and population structure of Oncomelania hupensis in Sichuan Province, China:implications for schistosomiasis control.

Schistosomiasis, caused by the infection with Schistosoma japonicum, remains a significant public health concern in China. As the sole intermediate host of S. japonicum, the breeding and spread of Oncomelania hupensis contribute significantly to the potential risk of disease occurrence and transmission.

Low genetic variation in Echinococcus multilocularis from the Western Sichuan Plateau of China revealed by microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers.

The prevalence of E. multilocularis is a major public health problem in China. To better understand the molecular epidemiology and evolutionary patterns of E.

New insights on the tapeworm using molecular tools: age-based human definitive host prevalence and deliberation on parasite life span.

Information on age-based taeniasis prevalence is crucial for control of cysticercosis. taeniasis prevalence was determined for a village in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China that was co-endemic for , and . Individuals who were egg-positive by stool microscopy and/or expelled tapeworms or proglottids post-treatment were diagnosed as having taeniasis.

A multiplex PCR for differential detection of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto, Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus canadensis in China.

Background: Echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus is one of the most major infectious diseases in north-west highland of China. E. granulosus sensu strict, E.

[Laboratory detection of imported in Sichuan Province].

Objective: To identify 10 imported cases of infection in Sichuan Province from January to April in 2018, and to analyze the infection status of 1 079 malaria cases reported in this area from 2013 to 2017.

Methods: The 10 cases collected in 2018 were examined by microscopy, RDT, nested PCR and sequencing. Meanwhile, the retrospective detections of of the 1 079 blood samples from past 5 years were conducted by nested PCR using -specific primers.

Molecular characterization of human echinococcosis in Sichuan, Western China.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are highly co-endemic in Sichuan, a part of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where is a typical Tibetan nomadic community living area. In order to better understand the Echinococcus spp. of human being infected origins in this area, 140 lesions were collected from echinococcosis patients who were received operations during the period of 2014-2016 in different geographic districts in this region.

Seasonal pattern of Echinococcus re-infection in owned dogs in Tibetan communities of Sichuan, China and its implications for control.

Background: Human cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are highly endemic in Tibetan communities of Sichuan Province. Previous research in the region indicated that domestic dog was the major source of human infection, and observations indicated that domestic dog could have more access to intermediate hosts of Echinococcus spp.: both domestic livestock (CE) viscera and small mammals (AE), in early winter and again in spring.

[Intervention effect of probiotic bifidobacterium on type 2 diabetes mellitus rats].

Objective: To observe the influences of bifidobacterium on glucose and lipid metabolism and intestinal flora in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats.

Methods: Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, the blank control group was fed with basic forage, the other 3 groups were fed with high fat diet. Meanwhile the high-dose and low-dose groups were gavage administrated with 12 and 4 ml/(kg x d) probiotic bifidobacterium for 6 weeks, then, injected with low dose of streptozotocin (20 mg/kg).
