AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to understand how the calcium cyanamide synthetic drug affects the morphology of Schistosoma japonicum eggs, with the goal of exploring the drug's mechanism against schistosome eggs.
  • Researchers mixed the drug with cattle feces containing the eggs and monitored changes over a week, comparing treated samples with blank controls.
  • Results showed that the treatment caused significant damage to the eggs, including color changes, atrophy of miracidia, and thickening of egg shells, with the effects worsening over time.

Article Abstract

Objective: To study the morphological change of Schistosoma japonicum eggs processed by calcium cyanamide synthetic drug, so as to provide the basis for further study of the mechanism that calcium cyanamide synthetic drug to schistosome eggs.

Methods: The calcium cyanamide synthetic drug was added to the cattle feces containing schistosome eggs and mixed up, and then the cattle feces was stacked as original shape on the marshland. Blank controls were set at the same time. The cattle feces samples were collected and.the schistosome eggs were observed under a microscope on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th day after the experiment.

Results: By the effect of calcium cyanamide synthetic drug, the color of eggs was deepening gradually, the miracidia were atrophied, and the shells of eggs were thickened. The embryonic membrane of miracidia was no longer completed 3 days later, and the miracidia were deformed severely 7 days later. The atrophy of miracidia was not obvious in the blank controls.

Conclusion: The schistosome miracidia and embryonic membrane can be damaged by the calcium cyanamide synthetic drug, and worse damaged with time extending.
