Schistosoma mansoni cercariae attenuated with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation (254 nm) at a dose of 18 mJ/cm2 induced partial resistance against a homologous challenge in male ICR mice and male Hartley guinea pigs. The reduction in the adult worm burden was 51% and 37% +/- 13%, respectively. On the other hand, male and female Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) vaccinated with UV-attenuated cercariae exhibited marginal resistance (13% +/- 9% and 22% +/- 10%, respectively). This raises the possibility that gerbils might have an unknown immune-characteristic nature. The usefulness of UV-attenuated cercariae is discussed with respect to the control of the disease.
用紫外线(UV)以18 mJ/cm2的剂量进行照射(254 nm)减毒的曼氏血吸虫尾蚴,可诱导雄性ICR小鼠和雄性哈特利豚鼠对同源攻击产生部分抗性。成虫虫负荷的降低分别为51%和37%±13%。另一方面,用紫外线减毒尾蚴接种的雄性和雌性蒙古沙鼠(长爪沙鼠)表现出微弱的抗性(分别为13%±9%和22%±10%)。这增加了沙鼠可能具有未知免疫特性的可能性。本文讨论了紫外线减毒尾蚴在疾病控制方面的实用性。
