Article Synopsis
- The increase in vector habitats and human movement is leading to the introduction of new Leishmania species, which complicates current diagnostic methods for identifying infections.
- Researchers tested isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays targeting key Leishmania genetic markers, finding effective detection capabilities for seven pathogenic species.
- Results showed high sensitivity rates when using these assays on real samples, with a combined sensitivity of 98.57%, suggesting the need for their use in future diagnostics.
