Water monitoring technologies are widely used for contaminants detection in wide variety of
water ecology applications such as water treatment plant and water distribution system. A …

Unicellular flagellates of the family Trypanosomatidae are obligatory parasites of
invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. Dixenous species are aetiological agents of a number …

Trypanosomes are important disease agents and excellent models for the study of
evolutionary cell biology. The trypanosome flagellar pocket is a small invagination of the …

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of DNA is a novel technique that rapidly
amplifies target DNA under isothermal conditions. In the present study, a LAMP test was …

Reduced susceptibility to infectious disease can increase the frequency of otherwise
deleterious alleles. In populations of African ancestry, two apolipoprotein-L1 (APOL1) …

Control of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is dependent on accurate diagnosis and
treatment of infected patients. However, sensitivities of tests in routine use are unsatisfactory …

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid and sensitive tool used for the
diagnosis of a variety of infectious diseases. One of the advantages of this method over the …

African trypanosomes (the prototype of which is Trypanosoma brucei brucei) are protozoan
parasites that infect a wide range of mammals. Human blood, unlike the blood of other …

Abstract Background Human African trypanosomiasis is a lethal disease caused by the
extracellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The proteins secreted by T. brucei inhibit the …

In this study, we developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the specific
detection of both animal and human trypanosomosis using primer sets that are designed …
