Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is one of the most serious parasitic diseases. Schistosome genes research provides the basis for study of schistosomiasis diagnosis, vaccine and drug targets. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in schistosome focuses on researches of location of functional genes on chromosomes, genome physical mapping and chromosome identification. This article reviews the application of FISH in schistosome biology and its potential development.
