Abstract:

AIM: To clone apartial paramyosin gene from Schistosoma japonicum of Chinese mainland origin. METHODS: The gene was amplified by PCR according to the published partial paramyosin sequence of S. japonicum of Philippine origin. RESULTS: A gene of about 720bp was cloned from S. japonicum of Chinese mainland origin. CONCLUSION: The analysis of the sequence of this gene revealed 99.03% identity with that of S. japonicum of Philippine origin.

Key words: Schistosoma japonicum, paramyosin, gene cloning, PCR, vaccine, sequence
