Abstract
CRISPR/Cas system, an adaptive immune system with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, may interfere with exogenous nucleic acids and protect prokaryotes from external damages, is an effective gene editing and nucleic acid detection tools. The CRISPR/Cas system has been widely applied in virology and bacteriology; however, there is relatively less knowledge about the application of the CRISPR/Cas system in parasitic diseases. The review summarizes the mechanisms of action of the CRISPR/Cas system and provides a comprehensive overview of their application in gene editing and nucleic acid detection of parasitic diseases, so as to provide insights into future studies on parasitic diseases.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control (ISSN: 1005-6661, CN: 32-1374/R), founded in 1989, is a technical and scientific journal under the supervision of Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission and organised by Jiangsu Institute of Schistosomiasis Control. It is a scientific and technical journal under the supervision of Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission and sponsored by Jiangsu Institute of Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control. The journal carries out the policy of prevention-oriented, control-oriented, nationwide and grassroots, adheres to the tenet of scientific research service for the prevention and treatment of schistosomiasis and other parasitic diseases, and mainly publishes academic papers reflecting the latest achievements and dynamics of prevention and treatment of schistosomiasis and other parasitic diseases, scientific research and management, etc. The main columns are Guest Contributions, Experts‘ Commentary, Experts’ Perspectives, Experts' Forums, Theses, Prevention and Treatment Research, Experimental Research, The main columns include Guest Contributions, Expert Commentaries, Expert Perspectives, Expert Forums, Treatises, Prevention and Control Studies, Experimental Studies, Clinical Studies, Prevention and Control Experiences, Prevention and Control Management, Reviews, Case Reports, and Information, etc. The journal is a useful reference material for the professional and technical personnel of schistosomiasis and parasitic disease prevention and control research, management workers, and teachers and students of medical schools.
The journal is now included in important domestic databases, such as Chinese Core List (8th edition), China Science Citation Database (Core Edition), China Science and Technology Core Journals (Statistical Source Journals), and is also included in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO, Chemical Abstract, Embase, Zoological Record, JSTChina, Ulrichsweb, Western Pacific Region Index Medicus, CABI and other international authoritative databases.
