Development of a novel real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for the sensitive detection of Schistosoma japonicum in human stool.
<h4>Background</h4>Elimination and control of Schistosoma japonicum, the most virulent of the schistosomiasis-causing blood flukes, requires the development of sensitive and specific diagnostic tools capable of providing an accurate measurement of the infection prevalence in endemic area...
