“…LAMP has been applied to diagnose several pathogens, including bacteria [ 13 , 14 ], viruses [ 15 , 16 ], and different parasites, e.g., Babesia [ 17 ], Plasmodium [ 18 ], Cryptosporidium [ 19 ], Trypanosoma [ 20 ], Giardia [ 21 ], Schistosoma japonicum [ 22 ], and Toxoplasma gondii [ 23 ]. Moreover, several studies have successfully employed LAMP assay in the diagnosis of leishmaniosis in dogs, humans, and vectors [ 24 , 25 , 26 ], using different DNA targets, e.g., kinetoplast minicircle genes (kDNA), 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), K26 antigen-coding gene [ 27 ], and cysteine protease B ( cpb ) multicopy gene [ 28 ]. These authors showed that LAMP is easy-to-use, highly sensitive (90–98%) and specific (80–100%) and allows to perform in-situ analysis, but no standardized protocols are available in the veterinary field.…”
