Evaluation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method Using Fecal Specimens for Differential Detection of <i>Taenia</i> Species from Humans
15 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
We compared the performance of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with that of a multiplex PCR method for differential detection of human Taenia parasites in fecal specimens from taeniasis patients. The LAMP method, with no false positives, showed a higher sensitivity (88.4%) than the multiplex PCR (37.2%). Thus, it is expected that the LAMP method has a high value for molecular diagnosis of taeniasis.
