Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Differentiation and Rapid Detection of <i>Taenia</i> Species

Abstract excerpt

Rapid detection and differentiation of Taenia species are required for the control and prevention of taeniasis and cysticercosis in areas where these diseases are endemic. Because of the lower sensitivity and specificity of the conventional diagnosis based on microscopical examination, molecular tools are more reliable for differential diagnosis of these diseases. In this study, we developed and evaluated a...
