Southern blot analysis providedfurther evidence that the distribution of restriction enzyme sites (with 3enzymes) on repeated DNA of both was similar. But with Pst Ⅰ、Dde Ⅰ、Hae Ⅲand Hpa Ⅱ. They revealed polymorphism which also occured individually ineach form tested separatedly with hybridization technique. Mutation of recog-nize sites by enzymes, which is resulted from the alternation of gene sequance,has occured during evolution. Additionally, it is probably possible, based on PstⅠand Dde Ⅰdigest pattern to distinguish between diploid and triploid Parag-onimus westermani and group the Paragonimus simply and rapidly.展开更多

Methods Six dogs were experimentally infected, each with 100 metacercariae of Paragonimus westermani intraperitoneally and divided into untreated and treated groups, 3 dogs were treated orally with triclabendazole 100 mg/kg·d 1 for 2 consecutive days on day 170 after infection. Stool egg count was done by Stoll method. All dogs were killed on day 38 after treatment and the number of worm cysts and worms in the lungs were examined by naked eye and microscopically. Results Stool eggs became negative from day 7 to day 14 after starting chemotherapy in treated dogs. The numbers of worm cysts in the lungs of untreated dogs were 18, 24 and 24 on necropsy,while those in the treated dogs were 10, 7 and 4, respectively. The numbers of adult worms in the untreated dogs were 38, 51 and 42, while in the treated dogs only 2 small adult worms were found in one dog and no worm was found in the other two dogs. The mean worm reduction rate was 98.5%. Conclusion Triclabendazole is highly effective against Paragonimus westermani in experimentally infected dogs.展开更多
