Abstract

Abstract:

In recent years, the infection rate of parasitic diseases in our country has been declining. However, parasitic diseases remain a significant threat to human life and health worldwide, bringing severe challenges to the prevention and control of imported parasitic diseases in our country. Timely and accurate detection of parasitic infection is the key to the prevention and control of parasitic diseases, and it is also of great significance to clinical treatment. The key to improving the ability to detect parasite infections is the continuous innovation and application of detection technologies. Therefore, here we summarize the commonly used and novel detection technologies in the detection of parasitic infections from a multidisciplinary perspective and prospect for the new technologies that may be applied to the detection of parasite infections in the future. We hope to provide a reference to improve the detection of parasitic infection in our country.

Key words: Parasite infection, Etiological detection, Immunological detection, Molecular detection, Parasite detection technology
