A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was evaluated for the detection of
Theileria annulata infection in cattle. The results were compared with a real-time PCR used
for the quantification of T. annulata parasitaemia. One hundred bovine blood samples from
16 cattle farms were tested with LAMP and real-time PCR, with T. annulata DNA being
detected in 66% and 67% of the samples, respectively. The results showed that the LAMP
assay detects a parasitaemia as low as 0.00025%, indicating a high analytical sensitivity of …
