An overview of molecular parasitology in China.
Molecular cloning technology has been gradually used in the studies of parasitic diseases in China since 1986. The information briefly reviewed here deals mainly with: (1) the molecular cloning of immunogen genes related to Schistosome and Plasmodium; (2) a diagnostic DNA probe for malaria and toxoplasmosis; and (3) DNA probes for inter- and intra-specific differentiation of Leishmania, Schistosome, Entamoeba, etc.
