ABSTRACT A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) procedure for the detection of Cryptosporidium in environmental and fecal samples was developed evaluated. This is first demonstration LAMP applied to . Due its specificity simplicity, method could become a useful diagnostic tool epidemiologic studies presence.
