Interspecies Phylogenetic Analysis of in High-incidence Areas of Hunan Province, China.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the infection of ( ) in high-incidence areas of Hunan Province, China. The phylogenetic analysis of the species in the highly infected areas was carried out.

Method: Infection of the definitive human host and intermediate fish host by was investigated, and the mitochondrial genes and were used as genetic markers for phylogenetic analysis.

Epidemiology and determinants of clonorchiasis in school children in southeastern China.

Clonorchiasis is an important food-borne parasitic disease in China because of the popularity in ingesting raw freshwater fish. To explore the epidemiology and determinants of clonorchiasis in children, a cross-sectional survey was implemented in two middle schools in Qiyang county, Hunan province, in southeastern China. Questionnaire survey and fecal examination were implemented.

Improving diagnostic performance of the Kato-Katz method for Clonorchis sinensis infection through multiple samples.

Background: Clonorchiasis is caused by eating of raw or undercooked freshwater fish containing the larvae of Clonorchis sinensis; the Kato-Katz method is widely applied in diagnosis. The improvement of repeated Kato-Katz smears from multiple stool samples has been well illuminated in many helminths other than C. sinensis.

[Malaria situation in Hunan Province during 2011-2013].

Malaria data in 2011-2013 were collected and statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2003 software. A total of 501 malaria cases were reported, and the annual incidence was 0.2510/100,000, 0.

Efficacy and safety of praziquantel, tribendimidine and mebendazole in patients with co-infection of Clonorchis sinensis and other helminths.

Background: Both tribendimidine and mebendazole are broad-spectrum drugs for anti-intestinal nematodes. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of tribendimidine and mebendazole in patients with co-infection of Clonorchis sinensis and other helminths.

Method: We performed a randomized open-label trial in Qiyang, People's Republic of China.
