Field Evaluation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Platform for the Detection of <em>Schistosoma japonicum </em>Infection in<em> Oncomelania hupemsis </em>Snails
2018-10-22
Abstract excerpt
Schistosoma infection in snails can be monitored by microscopy or indirectly by sentinel mice. As both these approaches sometimes miss infections, more sensitive tests are needed, particularly in low-level transmission settings. In this study, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique, designed to detect a specific 28S ribosomal S. japonicum gene with high sensitivity, was compared to microscopy...
