Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Diseases has a first-class research platform for parasitic diseases and vectors, established the "National Health Commission Key Laboratory of Parasitic Disease Control and Prevention" and "Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory on Parasite and Vector Control Technology". Currently, the laboratory covers a building area of more than 3,500 square meters, with molecular biology unit, immunology unit, pathogen biology unit, vector biology unit, cell biology unit, flow cytometry analysis unit, etc. It is equipped with more than 200 large-scale instruments such as protein purification analyzer, microinjector, flow cytometer, laser confocal microscope, fluorescence microscope, ultrafast freezing centrifuge, high-performance liquid chromatography, quantitative real-time PCR and digital PCR, supporting the groundbreaking discovery and advancement in parasitic research. The 600-square-meter Laboratory Animal Center is also available to provide SPF-class and conventional animals’ breeding service and animal experimental support.
Based on the public health and "the Belt and Road" initiative, considering the practical needs of the key parasitic diseases control such as schistosomiasis and malaria and cross-border infectious diseases, the key laboratory focuses on "consolidating the achievements of parasitic disease control in China" and "controlling imported infectious diseases", explores new strategies, new technologies and new methods for the elimination of schistosomiasis, malaria, other parasitic diseases and post-elimination surveillance, strives to provide technical support for key parasitic diseases control in the province and even in the country, so as to promote the sustainable development of national public health.
