Abstract
Oncomelania hupensis is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum, and S. japonicum-infected Oncomelania snail is one of the major risk factor of schistosomiasis transmission. Therefore, the detection of S. japonicum-infected Oncomelania snails plays a vital role in the national schistosomiasis control programmes of China. Recently, a florescent recombinaseaided amplification (RAA) assay, developed by Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Diseases, has shown rapid, sensitive and simple to detect S. japonicum-infected Oncomelania snails, which deserves expanded experiments.
