Comparison of a new visual isothermal nucleic acid amplification test with PCR and skin snip analysis for diagnosis of onchocerciasis in humans

27 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

Accurate, simple and affordable diagnostics are needed to detect Onchocerca volvulus infection in humans. A newly developed colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was compared to PCR and skin snip analysis for diagnosis of onchocerciasis. The robustness and simplicity of the assay indicates that it may be a useful field tool for surveillance in endemic countries.
