[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] Probes were designed for 29 infectious parasites, including Hymenolepidium microtyphoid, Clonorchis sinensis, Balantidium coli, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, Schistosoma japonicum, Fasciola hepatica, Cryptosporidium microtyphoid, Giardia lamblia, Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, Taenia asiatica, Taenia saginata, Taenia solium, Entamoeba histolytica, Toxoplasma gondii, Blastocystis hominis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Strongyloides stercoralis, Wuchereria bancrofti, Trichinella spiralis, Ascaris lumbricoides, Spirometra mansoni, Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, Paragonimus, Leishmania donovani, Pinworm, Fasciola brasiliensis and Whipworm. The specific steps are as follows: Construction of a gene database for 29 infectious parasites: The reference genome sequences contained in the database are used to construct specific probes for the 29 infectious parasites. The NCBI NT database (ftp: / / ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / blast / db / FASTA / nt.gz), RefSeq and Ge n The genome sequences of 29 infectious parasites were obtained from multiple authoritative databases in this field, such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NTF-1) and the Parasite Reference Sequence Database (https: / / eupathdb.org / eupathdb). Redundant and less reliable genome sequences were further removed. The removal principle was as follows: an upper limit of 50 strains was set for each parasite. If the number of strains exceeded 50, 50 reference genomes were randomly retained to ensure the simplicity, completeness, accuracy and comprehensiveness of the microbial sequences, and to improve the coverage, sensitivity and quality of the probe sequences.
[0039] After the above steps, the final database contains comprehensive and complete genome sequences of 29 parasites. Specifically, the number of strains with complete reference genomes contained in each parasite species is: 3 strains of Hymenolepidium microtypingii, 5 strains of Clonorchis sinensis, 4 strains of Balantidium coli, 6 strains of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, 4 strains of Schistosoma japonicum, 8 strains of Fasciola hepatica, 4 strains of Cryptosporidium microtypingi, 2 strains of Giardia lamblia, 2 strains of Ancylostoma americanum, and 2 strains of Uncinaria duodenalis. 4 strains of Orthostoma stolonifer, 4 strains of Asian tapeworm, 5 strains of Taenia saginata, 6 strains of Taenia solium, 2 strains of Entamoeba histolytica, 3 strains of Toxoplasma gondii, 2 strains of Blastocystis hominis, 3 strains of Trichomonas vaginalis, 2 strains of Strongyloides stercoralis, 2 strains of Wuchereria bancrofti, 2 strains of Trichinella spiralis, 8 strains of Ascaris lumbricoides, 4 strains of Spirochete mansoni, 3 strains of Echinococcus granulosus, 2 strains of Echinococcus multilocularis, 2 strains of Paragonimus, 3 strains of Leishmania donovani, 5 strains of Pinworm, 3 strains of Fasciola busuli, and 4 strains of Whipworm.
[0040] Specific probe design: Input the reference genome sequences of 29 parasites and the human reference genome sequence (hg19) in the reference genome database constructed above. GSMer v1.0 software was used to predict species-specific initial probe sets: the reference genome sequence sets of 29 parasites were broken into 50nt k-mer sets using meryl (kmer software module), and then the k-mer sets were first aligned to hg19 using blastn v2.2.26, and k-mers with identities greater than or equal to 85 were filtered; then, each parasite was used as a unit, and the k-mer sets between units were paired using mapMers (kmer software module), and k-mers with consecutive aligned base numbers greater than 20nt were filtered. Finally, the initial specific probe sets (50ntkmer) of each parasite were screened out, and the abundance of probe sequences was counted; the reference genome sequence sets of 29 parasites were generated into 18nt k-mer sets with each parasite as a unit, and blastn was used to perform sequence alignment on the 18nt k-mer set and the initial specific probe sequence set obtained in the previous step. For example, in the sequence alignment results of different species, the identity was greater than or equal to 85. Then the probe sequence is removed, and finally the initial specific probe set for each parasite is obtained.
[0041] Further filtering of the species-specific initial probe set: Use blastn to align the above probes with the RefSeq nucleic acid database of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other parasites. If the alignment length is greater than 20nt, the nucleic acid free energy (free energy, unit kcal / mol) between the probe sequence and the target sequence is calculated. If the nucleic acid free energy is less than -30, the probe sequence is removed; if the probe has 5 consecutive identical bases, the probe sequence is removed to obtain a probe sequence set with good specificity. Finally, the probe sequence with the highest abundance is retained from the remaining probe sequences as the probe sequence for each parasite to obtain a probe sequence set with good conservation. The specific nucleotide sequence (30-50nt) is shown in Table 1.
[0042] Table 1 Probe information table
[0043]
[0044] Furthermore, the above probe combinations can be used to prepare a kit for detecting one or more of the 29 infectious parasites.
[0045] Example 2
[0046] Gene chip and its preparation
[0047] The probe gene chip designed in Example 1 includes, in addition to the above-mentioned probes for the 29 infectious parasites, control probes IC and HC. The designs of the control probes HC and IC are as follows:
[0048] Design of control probe IC: The control probe IC is an amplification quality control probe. Computer simulation was used to generate 10,000 artificial sequences of 50 nt. The sequence set was aligned to the NCBI NT library (ftp: / / ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / blast / db / FASTA / nt.gz) using blastn. The sequence set with a continuous alignment base number of less than 18 nt and an identity of less than 85 was retained, and a total of 424 sequences were obtained. One sequence was randomly selected as the control probe IC. In this embodiment, the selected control probe IC sequence is as follows: Probe (SEQ ID No. 88): GCCGAGGACTTTGATTGCACATTGTTGTTT; Design of control probe HC: The control probe HC is a hybridization quality control probe. The method is the same as the design of the control probe IC. The control probe HC sequence is as follows: Probe (SEQ ID No. 89): AGATGCGTTGTTACAGGA. Preparation of gene chips: A CGH (whole genome hybridization) chip from the Agilent (https: / / www.agilent.com / ) platform is used. The chip includes a solid phase carrier, on which the probes are fixed during preparation. Usually, the probes are fixed on the solid phase carrier in the form of a microarray according to certain spatial distribution characteristics. A 6-row × 12-column microarray is designed, and each microarray can detect one sample. The distribution characteristics of various probes are shown in Figure 1 .
[0049] Spotting position control probe (provided with Agilent CGH chip): 34 sites in total, 4 of which are distributed at the four corners of the microarray, and the remaining 31 sites are distributed according to Figure 1 Distributed in the microarray. Control probe IC: a total of 1 probe sequence, repeated 1 time, forming 1 monitoring site, according to Figure 1 Distributed in the microarray. According to the above design rules, positive quality control and pathogen samples detected by IC should show positive results. Control probe HC: A total of 1 probe sequence, repeated 4 times to form 4 monitoring sites, located at the four corners of the microarray. In order to standardize the fluorescent signal of the infectious parasite probe, this probe was commissioned to Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology for oligonucleotide synthesis, and Cyanine 3 fluorescent dye was used for fluorescent labeling to obtain a customized reagent (as a control sample). Infectious parasite probe: Each probe is repeated once to form a detection site, according to Figure 1 Distributed in a microarray. For example, for two infectious parasites, one probe for each, repeated once, two detection sites can be obtained. Another example: for five infectious parasites, one probe for each, repeated once, five detection sites can be obtained. Further, the above gene chip is prepared into a kit for the detection of one or more of the 29 infectious parasites.
[0050] Example 3
[0051] Using gene chips to detect samples
[0052] In this example, the gene chip containing 34 probes for 29 infectious parasites prepared in Example 2 was used to detect the sample to be tested. In this example, one specimen (samples 1-4) was collected from each of the female urogenital system, male urogenital system, human digestive system, and human serum / whole blood. The sample information is shown in Table 2.

[0077]
[0078] 5. Chip hybridization

[0082] 6. Chip elution
[0083] The chip was eluted using the elution solution, elution instrument and elution program produced by Kunming Huanji Biochip Industry Co., Ltd., including the following steps: after hybridization, open the elution instrument; remove the adhesive strip on the hybridization module, turn the hybridization module over and use a little force to shake off the liquid in the reaction pool, open the hybridization module, take out the chip and immediately put it into the elution instrument with the front side facing outwards; elution: use the set elution process to elute and spin dry before scanning.
[0084] 7. Scanning and result determination
[0085] The chip was scanned using a chip laser scanner (Axon GenePix 4000A / B, Jingxin LuxScan 10K), including the following steps: placing the dried chip in the laser scanner, setting the scanning parameter matrix to 6 rows and 12 columns, and the chip microarray area position as shown in Figure 2 , use 532nm wavelength laser scanning to obtain scanning spectra and data; analyze the test data according to the requirements of the instructions and generate a test report (to simplify the operation, data interpretation can be performed using data-assisted analysis software).
[0086] 8. Result interpretation steps
[0087] Judging the control probe HC: if both the two repeated sites meet the "positive" condition, the reading will continue, otherwise the reading result will be "failed"; judging the control probe IC: if both the two repeated sites meet the "positive" condition, the control probe IC will be judged as "positive", otherwise the control probe IC will be judged as "negative"; judging the parasite detection probe: for example, the pinworm detection probe Enterobius vermicμlari: if both the two repeated sites of the Enterobius vermicμlari probe meet the "positive" condition, the pinworm detection result will be judged as "positive"; otherwise the detection probe will be judged as "negative"; repeat the operation of judging the parasite detection probe, and judge the scanning data of other parasite probes; organize the judgment results and generate a test report.
[0088] 9. Interpretation of test results
[0089] The judgment of "failure" caused by the hybridization control point HC not meeting the requirements is due to problems in the hybridization system; the control probe IC is judged as "positive", and the specimen contains parasite genomic DNA; the probe is judged as "negative", indicating that insufficient parasites may have been collected when the specimen was collected or problems occurred in the nucleic acid extraction and PCR amplification systems, and it is recommended to re-sample and test; in the negative reference test reaction, the control probe HC should be judged as positive, and the remaining parasite probes should be negative, otherwise it indicates that the amplification system is contaminated; using the above method, the test results of the samples to be tested are shown in Table 9.

[0094] Example 4
[0095] Timeliness of gene chip detection of parasites
[0096] In order to test the operation time of the method for detecting parasites using gene chips in Example 3 of the present invention, the digestive tract specimens of 5 suspected infectious parasites collected were first divided into two, one of which was detected using the present invention (according to the treatment method of Example 3), and the other was subjected to metagenomic sequencing, measuring 20Mb reads, and 12 CPUs were used for metagenomic computational analysis. Finally, the difference in the detection cycle between gene chip detection and metagenomic sequencing gene detection was compared. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0098]
[0099]
[0100] As shown in Table 10, the whole process of metagenomic sequencing gene detection method takes 26 hours, while the detection using gene chip only takes 5 hours, which shortens the cycle. In addition, the data analysis and report interpretation based on gene chip are simpler than the metagenomic sequencing gene detection method, so the application threshold is lower, and it can more quickly detect the effect of potential pathogenic parasites in the sample to be tested.

[0102] Accuracy of gene chip detection of parasites
[0103] In order to verify the accuracy of the method for detecting parasites using gene chips in Example 3 of the present invention, 5 human specimens (samples 1-5) with clinical diagnosis and PCR test results indicating parasitic infection were collected, and a healthy person's oral exfoliated cell sample (sample 6) was collected as a negative control. All specimens were divided into two, one of which was detected using the gene chip detection method of Example 3; the other was detected by the metagenomic sequencing gene detection and analysis method. The difference in the detection results of the gene chip detection method and the metagenomic sequencing gene detection method was compared. The gene chip detection method described in Example 3 was used for detection, and its nucleic acid extraction, total nucleic acid amount, fluorescent labeling, and signal data quality inspection all passed the standards, so subsequent data analysis and result determination were performed. The results are shown in Table 11.

[0106] Note: + indicates detection (positive); - indicates no detection / discovery (negative)
[0107] It can be seen from Table 11 that the detection sensitivity and specificity of the gene chip are both 100%, while the specificity of metagenomic sequencing is 100%, but the sensitivity is only 80% (4 / 5).
[0108] The above results show that the specific probe designed by the present invention is more sensitive in detecting 29 food-infecting parasites, and is particularly suitable for low pathogenic microorganism loads. In addition, the gene chip of the present invention can accurately detect 29 parasites that cause infectious diseases, with excellent sensitivity and specificity, and can be used for rapid screening of food-borne pathogenic parasites.
