持续性疾病流行和血吸虫病在多个脊椎动物宿主中的瞬时振动

血吸虫是一种寄生在脊椎动物上有助于消化的地方或血管中的寄生虫．它们共有复杂的生活史,其中包括中间阶段的软体动物和一个脊椎动物宿主．根据MacDonald和May的工作,我们研究了一个基于血吸虫生活史的多个时滞的动力学模型,并且包含了一个由May和Wo11house提出的交配函数,当我们改变交配函数中的一个参数,血吸虫病的动力学行为从一个持久的疾病传播变成了疾病消失．如果增加雌性血吸虫的成熬周期,或交配周期和产卵周期,我们能够观察到长时间疾病传播的瞬时振动,这说明了对疾病的预测不依赖在一个特定时间的疾病水平,而是依赖一个充分长时间的疾病水平。     

On the Role of Schistosome Mating Structure in the Maintenance of Drug-resistant Strains

The effects of drug treatment of human hosts on a population of schistosome parasites depends on a variety of factors. Previous models have shown that multiple strains of drug-resistant parasites are likely to be favored as the treatment rate increases. However, such models have neglected to account for the complex nature of schistosome mating biology. To more accurately account for the biology of these parasites, a simple mating structure is included in a multi-strain schistosome model, with parasites under the influence of drug treatment of their human hosts. Parasites are assumed to pay a cost for drug resistance in terms of reduced reproduction and transmission. The dynamics of the parasite population are described by a system of homogeneous differential equations, and the existence and stability of the exponential solutions for this system are used to infer the impact of drug treatment on the maintenance of schistosome genetic diversity.

Development of an Immunochromatographic Test for Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis Based on Detection of a Circulating Antigen

BackgroundVisceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a life-threatening disease caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania donovani complex. Early case detection followed by adequate treatment is essential to the control of VL. However, the available diagnostic tests are either invasive and require considerable expertise (parasitological demonstration of the parasite in tissue smears) or unable to distinguish between past and active infection (serological methods). Therefore, we aimed to develop a lateral flow assay in the form of an immunochromatographic test (ICT) device based on the detection of a circulating Leishmania antigen using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).Conclusion/SignificanceThe newly developed ICT is an easy to use and more accurate diagnostic tool which fulfils the performance and operational characteristics required for VL case detection under field and laboratory conditions. As our ICT detects a circulating antigen, it will also be useful in monitoring treatment success and diagnosing VL in immunocompromised patients.

Detection of Clonorchis sinensis Circulating Antigen in Sera from Chinese Patients by Immunomagnetic Bead ELISA Based on IgY

Background

Clonorchiasis, caused by Clonorchis sinensis, is widely distributed in Southeast Asia including China. Clonorchiasis is included in control programs of neglected tropical diseases by World Health Organization (WHO) because it is one of the major health problems in most endemic areas. Diagnosis of clonorchiasis plays a key role in the control programs. However, so far, there is no satisfactory method for clonorchiasis because of low sensitivity, poor practicality and high false positivity of available diagnostic tools.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We developed an immunomagnetic bead enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on IgY (egg yolk immunoglobulin) against cysteine proteinase of C. sinensis for detection of circulating antigen in serum samples of patients infected with C. sinensis. The polyclonal IgY, coated with magnetic beads, was used as a capture antibody and a monoclonal IgG labeled with horseradish peroxidase as a detection antibody in the IgY-based immunomagnetic bead ELISA system (IgY-IMB-ELISA). The results showed that the sensitivity of IgY-IMB-ELISA was 93.3% (14 of 15) in cases of heavy infection (5000 to 9999 eggs per gram feces, i.e, EPG 5000–9999), 86.7% (13 of 15) in cases of moderate infection (EPG 1000–4999) and 75.0% (9 of 12) in cases of light infection (EPG <1000) of clonorchiasis. Together 36 of total 42 (85.7%) serum samples of human clonorchiasis gave a positive reaction. There was a significant correlation between ELISA optical density and egg counts (EPG) with a correlation coefficient of 0.83 in total 42 patients. There were no positive results in patients with trichinosis (n = 10) or cysticercosis (n = 10). Cross-reactivity was 6.7% (2 of 30) with schistosomiasis japonica and 10.0% (3 of 30) with paragonimiasis, respectively. No positive reaction was found in 20 healthy persons.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that IgY-IMB-ELISA appears to be a sensitive and specific assay for detection of circulating antigen in human clonorchiasis.     

Detection of allergen specific immunoglobulins by microarrays coupled to microfluidics

Allergen microarrays are under development for a component‐resolved diagnosis of Type I (IgE‐mediated) allergies. Here we report an improved microarray coupled to microfluidics for the detection of allergen specific immunoglobulin E (IgE). The signal intensity for IgE detection in serum has been improved by using glass slides coated with a novel poly[DMA‐co‐NAS] brush copolymer which is able to immobilize allergens in their native conformation and by carrying out the incubation step in dynamic conditions. The assay, fully automated, was performed in a microcell, using a software‐controlled fluidic processor, to bring assay reagents on the surface of the array. Microfluidics turns the binding between serum immunoglobulins and immobilized allergens from a diffusion‐limited to a kinetic‐limited process by ensuring an efficient mixing of serum samples on the surface of the microarray. As a result of this, the binding of high affinity IgE antibodies is enhanced whereas that of low affinity IgG antibodies, which are present at higher concentration, is impaired paving the way to more accurate and sensitive results.
