Grant Activity:
Diagnosing infections with carcinogenic liver flukes
Purpose:
Liver flukes inhabit the bile ducts of people who eat raw fish in Asia and Siberia. Fluke infection over numerous decades increases the risk of a patient developing bile duct cancer. The current method for diagnosing liver fluke infection is crude and insensitive. We will develop novel and sensitive point-of-care tests that can rapidly diagnose infection from a urine or faecal sample. This will greatly facilitate control programs aimed at eliminating liver fluke infections and bile duct cancer.
