Sensitive, Specific, and Rapid Detection of Leishmania donovani DNA by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
1 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
We have applied a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique to detect Leishmania donovani DNA. The LAMP technique detected 1 fg of L. donovani DNA, which was 10-fold more sensitive than a conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All nested PCR-positive blood samples from visceral leishmaniasis patients were positive with the LAMP technique, and DNA samples from L. infantum, L. major, L....
