Cloning, Expression and Immunolocalization of Aspartyl Protease Inhibitor Gene of Angiostrongylus cantonensis [PDF]
广州管圆线虫(Angiostrongyluscantonensis)是一种人畜共患自然疫源性寄生虫,能引起人的嗜酸性粒细胞增多性脑膜炎,也被称为广州管圆线虫病。其中间宿主是软体动物,例如福寿螺、玛瑙螺等,并以啮齿类动物等作为其终宿主。人类是广州管圆线虫的偶然宿主,因误食寄生有广州管圆线虫的第三期幼虫(L3)的福寿螺等而引起广州管圆线虫病。 寄生虫的天冬氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂(aspartylproteaseinhibitor,API)在寄生虫的寄生生活中起着重要的作用,包括寄生虫的营养摄取,组织入侵,免疫逃避,
