New paper today:
A novel RFLP-PCR method for the rapid diagnosis of Echinococcus multilocularis and different Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato species from tissue samples
https://t.co/z0oge4bl4A
Abstract: Both alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis are zoonotic diseases affecting thousands of humans in Europe annually. Five Echinococcus species are known to be endemic in Europe, but with varying relative importance in humans and animals. In order to identify these Echinococcus species from tissue samples, an RFLP-PCR method was developed and validated in accordance with the French quality standards for molecular diagnostics (NF U47-600-2). Amplification by PCR of about 846 bp from the 12S ribosomal RNA gene was followed by a single digestion step with three restriction enzymes (AccI, DdeI and HinfI). The RFLP-PCR method distinguishes Echinococcus multilocularis, E. granulosus sensu stricto, E. equinus, E. ortleppi and E. canadensis in six specific profiles composed of two or three bands. Each profile is specific for the species, except an additional specific profile from genotype G8 of E. canadensis. Species from other genera of the Taeniidae family correspond to two other types of profiles. Additionally, in silico analyses predicted three specific additional profiles for the other four Echinococcus species. The limit of detection of the method including DNA extraction is estimated to be a minimum of 1,000 copies. Total specificity and sensitivity were obtained by testing a panel of 73 and 79 DNA samples previously identified by sequencing. This RFLP-PCR technique is cost-effective, simple and rapid to implement, making it suitable for use in large epidemiological studies, as well as for single diagnostic purposes targeting tissue samples, such as cysts or worms, without requiring sequencing.

1 month left for late-breaking abstract submissions for #ICOPA2026!

New results, updated analyses, or ongoing work deserve a platform. Submitting means sparking discussions with an audience that cares about the same questions you do.

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive guide for the processing and mounting of phlebotomine sand fly specimens, which is crucial for species identification and pathogen detection and isolation. It discusses a range of techniques suitable for both field and laboratory settings. The guide includes detailed instructions on sand fly collection, handling, covering, and euthanasia (recommending dry freezing or CO2 over chemicals) as well as conservation strategies, such as cold storage and preservation in ethanol. The quality of preparation of certain anatomical structures (genital organs, head and wings) is essential for their proper microscopic observation and is described in this work. The article also presents detailed sample processing, including the clearing process with agents such as potassium hydroxide then Marc-André solution. The mounting process compares different media, emphasizing their optical properties and preservation potential. Hoyer fluid (also known as chloral gum) is recommended for quick observation, particularly for spermathecae, due to its clarity, although it is not suitable for long-term storage. Other media discussed include polyvinyl alcohol, Euparal®(for limited water tolerance), and Canada balsam (a hydrocarbon-soluble medium), with the latter two offering long-term preservation capabilities. Innovative molecular biology approaches such as DNA sequencing and MALDI-ToF, which require particular attention to sample processing, are also addressed. Furthermore, short video clips illustrating various mounting techniques as well as translations in 33 different languages are provided, allowing the guideline to reach the diverse needs and expectations of the global scientific community.
