Recombinase-based amplification coupled with lateral flow chromatography for the specific and sensitive detection and identification of Leishmania major in cutaneous leishmaniasis... by Insaf Bel Hadj Ali, Yusr Saadi-Ben Aoun, Imen Khammeri, Hejer Souguir, Emna Harigua-Souiai, Hamed Chouaieb, Ahmed S. Chakroun, Meryem Lemrani, Aicha Kallel, Kalthoum Kallel, Nabil Haddad, Oussaima El Dbouni, Rhea N. Coler, Rhea N. Coler, Rhea N. Coler, Steven G. Reed, Akila Fathallah-Mili, Akila Fathallah-Mili, Ikram Guizani

“…This complicates disease management and treatment, particularly as distribution and epidemiology of leishmaniases remain poorly understood. Here, we aimed for a simple and rapid molecular diagnostic test to detect and identify L. major, a predominant CL causal species, which could be prone to become a control tool at the point of care, in endemic areas, using isothermal recombinase DNA amplification (recombinase polymerase amplification, RPA, or recombinase aided amplification, RAA) coupled to detection by the lateral flow (LF) chromatography on a PCRD cassette.MethodsTo develop an L. major species-specific RPA-LF assay, computational analysis of 70 Leishmania DNA targets, identified through bibliography and database searches, selected five targets. …”
