Immunomics protein microarrays provide an excellent application of this new schistosome sequence information, having been utilised successfully for vaccine antigen discovery with a range of bacterial and viral pathogens, and malaria. Accordingly, we have designed and manufactured a Schistosoma immunomics protein microarray as a vaccine discovery tool. The microarray protein selection combined previously published data and in silico screening of available sequences for potential immunogens based on protein location, homology to known protective antigens, and high specificity to schistosome species. Following cloning, selected sequences were expressed cell-free and contact-printed onto nitrocellulose microarrays. The reactivity of microarray proteins with antisera from schistosomiasis-exposed/resistant animals or human patients can be measured with labelled secondary antibodies and a laser microarray scanner; highly reactive proteins can be further assessed as putative vaccines. This highly innovative technology has the potential to transform vaccine research for schistosomiasis and other parasitic diseases of humans and animals.

  ‘One Health’ - the Rosetta stone for 21st century health and health providers     http://www.izs.it/vet_italiana/2009/45_3/377.htm:     “…no single person, no single health profession, no single organization, and no single nation or people invented    or owns One Health.  It is an all inclusive, co-equal endeavor that belongs to all of humanity.  A caveat: while    honest debate over efficacious process should be welcome, factionalism should not.”     Note: Co-author Dr. Mary Echols is the Editor, ‘One Health Newsletter’, a quarterly online publication from the Florida Department of Health’s Division of Environmental Health (USA).   http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Environment/medicine/One_Health/OneHealth.html
