AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for detecting echinococcosis suffer from false positives and false negatives, and primers are prone to cross-reaction during multiplex PCR, resulting in low detection efficiency and high costs, making it difficult to achieve efficient and convenient simultaneous detection of the three echinococcosis pathogens.
A primer combination with high specificity and sensitivity was designed for multiplex PCR detection of Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, and Echinococcus shiquensis. The primer combination includes Em-F1, Em-R1, Eg-F2, Eg-R2, Es-F3, and Es-R3. The kit contains Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2, etc. The PCR reaction conditions are 94℃ pre-denaturation for 3 min, 94℃ denaturation for 30 s, 56℃ annealing for 40 s, and 72℃ extension for 40 s, for a total of 35 cycles.
It enables efficient, simple, and rapid detection of three echinococcosis pathogens in feces and tissues, with high specificity and sensitivity, significantly improving detection efficiency and accuracy, and reducing detection costs and time. It is suitable for etiological identification in clinical and laboratory settings.
