The genome sequence of the liver fluke (Poirier, 1886) Stiles & Hassall, 1896.

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of (liver fluke; Platyhelminthes; Trematoda; Opisthorchiida; Opisthorchiidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 627.20 megabases.

Partially purified antigen improved the diagnostic performance of strongyloidiasis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunochromatographic test (ICT).

infection is a neglected tropical disease with a global distribution. Serodiagnosis is a sensitive method, but improving its performance and simplifying into a point-of-care test (POCT) are needed. This study aimed to improve the diagnostic performance of serological tests using partially purified antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and an immunochromatographic test (ICT).

Epidemiology of Strongyloides stercoralis and Opisthorchis viverrini infections in northern and northeastern Thailand: Insights from urine-ELISA surveys.

Strongyloides stercoralis and Opisthorchis viverrini are helminth parasites responsible for significantly neglected tropical diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of these parasites and the risk factors for S. stercoralis and O.

Diagnostic value of urinary and serum IgG antibodies in evaluating drug treatment response in strongyloidiasis assessed by fecal examination and digital droplet PCR.

Detection of Strogyloides-specific IgG antibodies in urine and serum has been used in diagnostic and epidemiological studies on strongyloidiasis. However, the usefulness of these assays in assessing responses to anthelmintic treatment is unclear. Thus, we evaluated the diagnostic performance and temporal profiles of Strongyloides-specific IgG antibodies in a cohort of participants at baseline and post-treatment.

Liver Flukes: Clonorchis and Opisthorchis.

Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis viverrini and O. felineus are liver flukes of human and animal pathogens occurring across much of Europe and Asia. Nevertheless, they are often underestimated compared to other, better known neglected diseases in spite of the fact that many millions of people are infected and hundreds of millions are at risk.
