摘要:

为评估环境DNA(eDNA)技术检测日本血吸虫尾蚴的可行性及灵敏度,采用阳性钉螺逸蚴获得尾蚴,设不同密度尾蚴组,1、5、10、15、20、> 30条尾蚴为实验组,0条尾蚴为对照组,静置24 h后过滤尾蚴,收集水体,采用0.22 μm滤膜富集eDNA,使用水体基因组DNA试剂盒提取各组eDNA。以日本血吸虫线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基1(cytochrome coxidase subunit 1,cox1)基因和16S rRNA基因为特异性引物,采用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)检测各组eDNA,记录循环阈值(Ct值),并对Ct值与尾蚴密度、eDNA浓度的相关性进行Spearman相关性分析。qPCR结果显示,引物cox1和16S rRNA均能检出不同密度尾蚴实验组的尾蚴DNA,DNA浓度分别为2.4、1.0、0.4、1.5、1.3、9.4 μg/ml。Spearman相关性分析结果显示,尾蚴密度与cox1引物Ct值呈负相关(r = -0.886,P < 0.05),与16S rRNA引物Ct值有负相关性趋势但无统计学意义(r = -0.771,P > 0.05);eDNA浓度与cox1引物、16S rRNA引物Ct值均有负相关性趋势但无统计学意义(r = -0.314、-0.200,均P > 0.05)。结果提示环境DNA技术可以用于血吸虫尾蚴检测且时效性高,具有早期预警血吸虫感染高危环境的价值。

Abstract:

To investigate the feasibility and sensitivity of environmental DNA (eDNA) assay for detection of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae, cercariae shed from S. japonicum-infected Oncomelania hupensis snail were collected,with 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and > 30 cercariae as experimental groups and 0 cercaria as the control group. After standing for 24 hours, cercariae were filtered and water samples were collected. Then, eDNA was enriched using membrane filter with 0.22 μm in pore size, and extracted using the Water DNA Isolation Kit. The Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was performed with S. japonicum mitochondrial cytochrome c coxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and 16S rRNA genes as specific primers to detect eDNA in each group. The cycle threshold (Ct value) was recorded, and the associations of Ct value with cercariae density and eDNA concentration were examined using Spearman correlation analysis. qPCR assay detected S. japonicum cercariae DNA in all experimental groups of different densities of cercariae with the primers cox1 and 16S rRNA. The DNA concentrations were 2.4, 1.0, 0.4, 1.5, 1.3, and 9.4 μg/ml, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the cercariae density significantly negatively correlated with the Ct value with the primer cox1 gene (r = -0.886, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with the Ct value with the primer 16S rRNA gene (r = -0.771, P > 0.05). The eDNA concentration negatively correlated with the Ct value with the primer cox1 gene (r = -0.314, P > 0.05) and the primer 16S rRNA gene (r = -0.200, P > 0.05). These findings suggest that eDNA assay is feasible for detection of S. japonicum cercariae with high timeliness, which has the value for early warning of environments at a high risk of S. japonicum infections.
