The therapeutic effects of praziquantel (PZQ) against a Schistosoma mansoni isolate derived from Nectomys squamipes (isolate R) and a susceptible isolate (BH) were analyzed in Swiss mice by fecal egg counting, adult worm reduction and oogram pattern. Infected mice were orally administrated with 62.5mg/kg (group 1), 125mg/kg (group 2), 250mg/kg (group 3) and 500mg/kg (group 4), each dose divided over 3 days (49, 50 and 51 days after infection). The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). In regard to isolate R, no fecal eggs were observed with 250 mg/Kg and 500 mg/kg (p<0.05), whereas BH excretion reached zero with all doses. Mean worm burden reduction was significantly (p<0.05) higher at the two highest concentrations, regardless of isolate. At 62.5mg/kg, the percentage of immature eggs varied from 17% (isolate R) to 38% (isolate BH). At 125 mg/kg, the percentage of immature eggs varied from 20% (isolate R) to 16% (isolate BH). At 250 mg/kg, immature eggs dropped significantly to 1% (isolate R) and 4% (isolate BH). At 500 mg/kg, no immature eggs were found in isolate R, whereas in BH was 8%. No dosage significantly (p>0.05) affected the percentage of mature eggs, regardless of isolate. There was a large increase (p<0.001) in the percentages of dead eggs in all treated groups of 62% and 64% in groups 3 and 4, respectively (isolate R). The percentage of dead eggs rose from 34% (group 1) to 58% (group 3) in isolate BH. Although group 4 showed lowest increase in the percentage of dead eggs (46%), it was higher (p<0.001) compared to the 8% in the control. Our findings indicate that the wild isolate from N. squamipes is susceptible to PZQ.
用粪便虫卵计数、成虫减少和卵图模式分析吡喹酮(PZQ)对从 Nectomys squamipes 中分离出的曼氏血吸虫分离株(分离株 R)和敏感分离株(BH)的治疗效果。感染的小鼠经口给予 62.5mg/kg(第 1 组)、125mg/kg(第 2 组)、250mg/kg(第 3 组)和 500mg/kg(第 4 组),每种剂量分 3 天服用(感染后 49、50 和 51 天)。使用单向方差分析(ANOVA)对数据进行分析。对于分离株 R,250mg/kg 和 500mg/kg 时未观察到粪便虫卵(p<0.05),而 BH 则所有剂量均达到零排泄。无论分离株如何,两个最高浓度的成虫负荷减少率均显著(p<0.05)较高。在 62.5mg/kg 时,未成熟卵的百分比从 17%(分离株 R)变化到 38%(分离株 BH)。在 125mg/kg 时,未成熟卵的百分比从 20%(分离株 R)变化到 16%(分离株 BH)。在 250mg/kg 时,未成熟卵显著减少至 1%(分离株 R)和 4%(分离株 BH)。在 500mg/kg 时,在分离株 R 中未发现未成熟卵,而在 BH 中为 8%。无论分离株如何,没有剂量显著(p>0.05)影响成熟卵的百分比。所有治疗组的死亡卵百分比均大幅增加(p<0.001),分别为 62%和 64%,在第 3 组和第 4 组(分离株 R)。在分离株 BH 中,死亡卵的百分比从 34%(第 1 组)上升至 58%(第 3 组)。尽管第 4 组显示出最低的死亡卵百分比增加(46%),但与对照组的 8%相比更高(p<0.001)。我们的研究结果表明,来自 Nectomys squamipes 的野生分离株对 PZQ 敏感。
