Definitions
- the present invention relates to a schistosoma repellent and a schistosoma repellent method.
- This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-143599 filed in Japan on September 9, 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein.
- Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that infects more than 200 million people worldwide, and is also included in neglected tropical diseases. This schistosomiasis is seen in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia, and in Africa, epidemics caused by Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma bilharzia are frequently observed. All schistosomes use intermediate hosts, snails, in which they produce cercariae that can infect humans. These cercariae infect humans or animals through the skin, develop into adult worms in the portal vein or veins near the bladder, lay eggs, and the eggs are released into the outside world through feces or urine. As a result, the miracidium that hatches from the insect egg infects the intermediate host, the snail, and develops into an infected larva, the cercariae, leading to a cycle of parasitic life.
- the eggs (1) expelled from the definitive host hatch when they come into contact with fresh water, and the miracidium swims out (2).
- Miracidium infects freshwater snails through the body surface (3) and metamorphoses into sac-like sporocysts within the tissues (4).
- Daughter sporocysts are formed within this mother sporocyst through larval reproduction.
- Daughter sporocysts migrate to the midgut gland and again form numerous cercariae through larval reproduction. These cercariae escape and swim in water according to the circadian rhythm of the host shellfish (5).
- the cercariae reach the mammalian skin, they secrete proteolytic enzymes and invade the skin (6), and only their heads transform into cystosomulae (7).
- Cystosomula stays in the skin for about two days and then travels through the bloodstream from the venules to the lungs (8). After passing through the lungs, it invades the vena cava and uses the systemic circulation to reach the portal vein about 8 to 10 days after infection, develops oral suckers, preys on red blood cells, and matures into an adult (9).
- Adult schistosomes are approximately 10 mm long, and they pair up so that the female is wedged in the female duct of the slightly shorter male, and move to the final parasitic site where they lay eggs (10). It takes 5 to 7 weeks for the cercariae to mature and start laying eggs after infection, and the parasite continues for several years.
- the eggs are excreted from the host body through the gastrointestinal tract or urinary tract. Cercariae infections occur when people come into contact with water, such as when swimming, bathing, or washing clothes. You can also become infected with cercariae when you come into contact with water while fishing or cultivating rice fields. Therefore, the anti-fluke drug praziquantel is used as a countermeasure against schistosomiasis. Praziquantel is safe, inexpensive, and easy to treat, but it only reaches 14% of patients who need treatment. On the other hand, the WHO currently recommends the use of the chemical pesticide niclosamide for shellfish killing purposes. However, there are now reports of niclosamide-resistant snails after 20 years of use. Furthermore, there are concerns about biocidal activity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and other effects on non-target organisms such as animals and plants in the environment, as well as high costs.

- the second aspect of the present invention is a method for exterminating schistosomes.
- the schistosome exterminating method includes spraying the schistosome repellent according to the first aspect into a water area inhabited by snails, which are intermediate hosts of schistosomes (hereinafter also referred to as "spraying step").
- schistosome control of schistosomes includes killing cercariae and reducing the number of cercariae. Killing of cercariae by a schistosomicidal agent may occur within the snail, which is an intermediate host, or may occur outside the body of the snail, in an aqueous environment.
- Snails which are intermediate hosts for schistosomes, are snails in which miracidium, the first stage larva of schistosomes, invades the body and grows into cercariae within the body.
- Snails that are intermediate hosts for schistosomes include the genus Bulinus for Schistosoma bilharzum and Schistosoma intercolorum, the genus Biomphalaria for Schistosoma mansoni, the genus Oncomelania for Schistosoma japonicum, and the genus Tricula aperta for Schistosoma japonica. .

- the schistosoma repellent sprayed in the habitat of snails which are intermediate hosts, will be ingested by the snails and taken into their bodies.
- the spirulina contained in the schistosoma repellent taken into the snail's body kills the cercariae that live inside the snail's body. This reduces the number of cercariae parasitic on the snail. As a result, the number of cercariae in the habitat of snails is reduced, and it is possible to suppress the infection of schistosomes to humans. Killing of cercariae by a schistosomicidal agent may occur not only within the body of the snail, but also in the aquatic environment where the snail inhabits.
- the method of this embodiment may include other steps in addition to the above-mentioned spraying step.
- Other steps include a step of determining the spraying area of the schistosoma repellent (spraying area determining step).
- Determining the area to be sprayed with the schistosomiasis agent may include, for example, investigating the habitat status of snails, which are intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis, and/or the habitat status of cercariae in the target water area.
- Target waters include freshwater bodies in areas where schistosomiasis occurs. Examples of freshwater areas include rivers, lakes, rice fields, and the like.
- the habitat status of snails can be investigated by visual observation.
- the habitat status of cercariae can be investigated by collecting water from the survey water area, killing the cercariae with an iodopotassium solution, etc., and then observing the sample using an inverted microscope or the like.
- snails which are intermediate hosts, were collected from the research area, placed in water in a container, exposed to light for about an hour, then removed, and an iodopotassium solution was added to the remaining water to kill the cercariae. Afterwards, it may be observed using an inverted microscope or the like. Through the above-mentioned investigation, it is possible to determine the areas where the schistosomiasis repellent should be sprayed, such as water areas where snails, which are intermediate hosts, inhabit or where cercariae have been confirmed to inhabit.
- the method of this embodiment may include the step of investigating the habitat status of cercariae in the sprayed water area after spraying the schistosoma repellent.
- the invention provides the use of spirulina to combat schistosomes. In one embodiment, the invention provides the use of spirulina to produce a schistosomicidal agent. In one embodiment, the invention provides spirulina for combating schistosomes.
- Spirulina may be a wet algal body, a dried body, a dry powder, or a tablet.
- Spirulina dry powder is added to Kyorin's base feed (fish meal, wheat germ, soybean meal, wheat flour) so that the dry weight of Spirulina is 10% by mass, 20% by mass, 40% by mass, or 80% by mass.
- Kyorin's base feed fish meal, wheat germ, soybean meal, wheat flour
- Spirulina combination tablets were prepared.
- spirulina-containing tablets containing 100% by mass of spirulina on a dry basis were prepared.
- breeding conditions The animals were bred in a 95 mm x 155 mm x 95 mm plastic aquarium (water volume: 1.4 L), an artificial weather machine (closed type) (Nippon Medical Instruments Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) with a temperature setting of 28°C and no humidity setting. The amount of water in the tank was added periodically whenever it became insufficient.
- Feed administration schedule 60 mg of each type of feed (200 mg for Spirulina tablets only) was administered three times a week
- Measurement method After 6 weeks of rearing, the snails were taken out of the aquarium and placed one by one in a 24-well plate. After 1 hour of light exposure, the snails were removed and two drops of potassium iodo solution were added to the remaining solution to kill and fix the cercariae. All cercariae were counted using an inverted microscope.
- Figure 2A shows the experimental schedule.
- Company A product Tetra corydoras
- Company B product #1 Kyorin Hikari Corydoras
- Company B product (separate lot): #2 Kyorin Hikari Corydoras
- Company B product Separate feed for carp: Kyorin carp bait
- base Feed Kyorin base feed (fish meal, wheat germ, soybean meal, wheat flour), Spirulina tablets: 100% Spirulina tablets.
- FIG. 2B shows the results of counting the number of cercariae that emerged from each of the 24 snails.
- a boxplot was created from the number of cercariae in each well.
- X indicates the average value.
- the top side of the box is 75%, the bottom side is 25%, the center line is the median value, and the maximum and minimum values are represented by whiskers. From this graph, it was confirmed that Spirulina 100% tablets showed a cercariae killing rate of 88%, and that the cercariae killing rate was higher than that of other feeds.
- Example 1 Confirmation of significant growth inhibition of cercariae by Spirulina 1.
- Experimental conditions The experiment was conducted in the same manner as the pre-experiment, except that Spirulina tablets and base food were used as the food, and the amount of base food fed was 200 mg.
- the experimental schedule for Experiment 1 is shown in Figure 3A.
- Example 2 Verification that Spirulina inhibits the growth of cercariae regardless of the size of the aquarium 1.
- Experimental conditions The experiment was conducted in the same manner as in Experiment 1 except that the amount of water was changed from 1.4 liters to 3 liters.
- the experimental schedule for Experiment 2 is shown in Figure 4A.
- FIGS. 4B and 4C The results are shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C. It was confirmed that the number of cercariae decreased (Figure 4B) and the survival rate of shellfish decreased (Figure 4C). Larger aquariums may have been more susceptible to environmental deterioration, lowering the survival rate of shellfish, and it is possible that poor growth of shellfish may have affected the number of cercariae. However, spirulina tablets significantly reduced cercariae compared to the base diet. Additionally, shellfish survival rates were higher with Spirulina tablets compared to the base feed.
- Example 3 Verification that Spirulina inhibits the growth of cercariae in a concentration-dependent manner 1.
- Experimental conditions Experiment 2 was conducted in the same manner as in Experiment 2, except that feed containing different amounts of Spirulina was used.
- the experimental schedule for Experiment 3 is shown in Figure 5A.
- Example 4 Verification that spirulina directly kills cercariae in vitro 1.
- Experimental conditions Snails infected with Schistosoma mansoni miracidium were reared for 8 weeks. The snails were then collected in one 100 ml beaker, water was added, and the cercariae were extracted by exposing to light for 1 hour. Dissolve spirulina powder in water and dilute from 4mg/ml to a concentration of 2mg/ml, lmg/ml, 0.5mg/ml, 0.25mg/ml, 0.125mg/ml, or 0.0625mg/ml. A spirulina powder suspension was prepared. 100 ⁇ L of these Spirulina powder suspensions were placed in each well of a 96-well plate.
- the results are shown in Figure 6B.
- the vertical axis shows survival rate, and the horizontal axis shows spirulina concentration.
- a Spirulina concentration of 0.09 mg/ml or higher is considered to be a preferred effective concentration.
- an inexpensive and low-toxicity schistosoma repellent and a method for exterminating schistosoma using the schistosoma repellent are provided.
- the schistosoma repellent uses a bait made of spirulina or a bait containing spirulina, which is effective as a bait for snails, so that it is preyed on by the snails, does not affect the snails themselves, and is contained within the snails, which are intermediate hosts. Schistosoma can be specifically reduced. Existing schistosomicidal agents are toxic to snails, but spirulina is not toxic to snails.
- a composition comprising 10% or more of spirulina by dry weight in fish feed, or spirulina itself as a schistosoma repellent, is sprayed in the water area where miracidium-infected snails live, for example, 0.03 mg.
- the population of infected cercariae larvae can be reduced by spraying at a concentration of 2 mg/ml or more and 2 mg/ml or more twice a week.
