Method and test kit for the detection of schistosomiasis by means of polymerase chain reaction

摘要

The present invention provides a method of detection of Schistosoma sp. in biological samples through PCR, as well as a method for the diagnosis of Schistosomiasis through the amplification by PCR of the DNA sequence of Schistosoma sp., followed by the separation of the products of the amplification by electrophoresis and the detection by appropriate technique. Moreover, the present invention provides a kit for the diagnosis to be used in the detection of Schistomsomiasis.
