“…The collected sand flies were dissected and then identified at the species level mainly based on the morphology of their spermathecae (Young and Duncan, 1994). These flies were examined for Leishmania infection by microscopy.…”

Entomological monitoring of Leishmania infection in leishmaniasis endemic areas offers epidemiologic advantages for predicting the risk and expansion of the disease, as well as evaluation of the effectiveness of control programs. In this study, we developed a highly sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the mass screening of sand flies for Leishmania infection based on the 18S rRNA gene. The LAMP technique could detect 0.01 parasites, which was more sensitive than classical PCR. The method was robust and could amplify the target DNA within 1 hr from a crude sand fly template without DNA purification. Amplicon
