Development of a LAMP assay for detection of Leishmania infantum infection in dogs using conjunctival swab samples
14 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Leishmania infantum infections in dogs play a crucial role in the transmission of pathogens causing visceral leishmaniasis to humans in the Gansu province, northwest China. To be able to control zoonotic transmission of the parasite to humans, a non-invasive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay to specifically detect L. infantum infections in dogs was developed. METHODS: The primers...
