Abstract:
The compositions and contents of amino acids of parasites in different areas of China have been determined by precolumn derivatization, reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation and ultra-violet absorption quantitation in order to prevent diseases caused from parasites. The results show that there were some differences in contents of amino acids in B. malayi from seven different areas in China. The contents of amino acids gradually increased from the southern to the northern areas in China. The method is simple and accurate, and the results have important values to investigate the life activities of parasites.
