• Diagnosing schistosomiasi s by detection of cell-free parasite DNA in human plasma. Hamburg, Germany. Apr. 21, 2009: Schistosoma diagnosis is difficult, requiring detection of parasite eggs in stool, urine, or gut/bladder biopsies. Cell-free parasite DNA (CFPD) detected in the blood by PCR could assist in diagnosing schistosomiasi s in all phases of clinical disease and therapy monitoring. Patients after treatment had significantly lower parasite DNA concentrations and turned negative 1?2 years after treatment.
