Sensitive and rapid detection of Babesia species in dogs by recombinase polymerase amplification with lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD)

Abstract excerpt

Canine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia spp., which infects and destroys healthy erythrocytes, leading to mortality and morbidity in dogs. The diagnosis of babesiosis is tedious and time-consuming, especially in latent and chronic infections. Here, a recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) assay was developed for rapid and accurate detection of...
