A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Opisthorchis viverrini
Opisthorchis viverrini, also known as the Southeast Asian liver fluke, is a parasitic flatworm that infects the liver and bile ducts of humans and animals. Infection with this pathogen can lead to symptoms such as chronic inflammation, bile duct enlargement, and even bile duct cancer. This target is important to detect in both the human and veterinary sectors to prevent the development of serious liver diseases.
YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Opisthorchis viverrini allows for sensitive and specific detection of this parasitic infection. Early detection of this target is crucial in preventing the progression to more severe liver diseases, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the economic burden associated with advanced liver fluke infections.
