title: An overview of molecular parasitology in China.
abstract: 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.
