Improvements in diagnostics for schistosomiasis both humans and snail hosts are priorities to be able reach the World Health Organization (WHO) goal of eliminating disease as a public health problem by 2030. In this context, molecular isothermal amplification tests, such Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA), promising use endemic areas at point-of-need their accuracy, robustness, simplicity, time-effectiveness. The developed recombinase polymerase assay targeting Schistosoma mansoni...
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by infection with parasitic trematodes of the genus Schistosoma that can lead to debilitating morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization recommend molecular xenomonitoring Biomphalaria spp. freshwater snail intermediate hosts mansoni identify highly focal intestinal schistosomiasis transmission sites monitor transmission, particularly in low-endemicity areas. A standardised protocol do this, however, needed. Here, two...
