Despite a significant decrease in the prevalence and intensity of Schistosoma japonicum infection in China, this disease remains a serious public health concern in certain endemic areas in the Philippines and Indonesia. Therefore, more accurate and sensitive diagnostic methods are crucial for further control of this disease. This review explores the research progress in techniques for diagnosing S. japonicum infection.
Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic parasitic disease caused by blood flukes (trematode worms) of the genus Schistosoma. Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) infection has decreased significantly in prevalence and intensity of infection in China. However, this disease still remains a serious public health problem in some endemic areas of the Philippines and Indonesia. Thus, more accurate and sensitive methods are much needed for further control of this disease. Here, we review the research progress in techniques for the diagnosis of S. japonicum infection.
