Multiplex real-time PCR for the detection and quantification of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium infection in stool samples collected in northern Senegal.

Abstract：

:A multiplex real-time PCR assay for the detection and quantification of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium DNA in faecal samples was developed and evaluated as an alternative diagnostic method to study the epidemiology of schistosomiasis. Primers and probes targeting the cytochrome c oxidase gene were designed for species-specific amplification and were combined with an internal control. Using positive control DNA extracted from adult Schistosoma worms and negative control samples (n=150) with DNA from a wide range of intestinal microorganisms, the method proved to be sensitive and 100% specific. For further evaluation, duplicate stool specimens with varying S. mansoni egg loads were collected in northern Senegal from pre-selected individuals (n=88). The PCR cycle threshold values, reflecting parasite-specific DNA loads in faeces, showed significant correlation with microscopic egg counts both for S. mansoni in stool and S. haematobium in urine. The Schistosoma detection rate of PCR (84.1%) was similar to that of microscopy performed on duplicate stool samples (79.5%). The simple faecal sample collection procedure and the high throughput potential of the multiplex real-time PCR provide a powerful diagnostic tool for epidemiological studies on schistosomiasis in remote areas, with possibilities for extension to other helminths or protozoa using additional molecular targets.
