Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular parasite which infects a variety of warm-blooded animals and causes toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis seriously endangers human health and animal husbandry production. As one of the effective gene editing tools, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system has been widely used for knockout of genes in T. gondii. This review summarizes the applications of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology in vaccines against single- and double-gene deletion strains of T. gondii, so as to provide insights into development of toxoplasmosis vaccines.
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.
