Project description:The gogal of this study is to use RNA-Seq to systematically investigate the dynamics of the liver transcriptome over Schistosoma japonicum infection.

Project description:We have used a Schistosoma japonicum infected murine model with in vivo sub-lethal dosages of praziquantel against adult parasites. Differential gene expression of parasites was followed between 30 minutes and 24 hours post- drug administration, using a whole transcriptome microarray platform. Differential gene expression was considered separately between parasite gender. Total RNA was isolated from adult (7 week post cercarial challenge) Schistosoma japonicum male and females. Gene expression was determined through hybridisation on an Agilent custom designed oligo microarray.
