Article Synopsis
- The current method for diagnosing Trypanosoma cruzi infections relies on less sensitive microscopy, compelling the need for serological testing for infants born to infected mothers.
- The new loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) test is an efficient and easy-to-use alternative, showing improved accuracy when combined with a rapid DNA extraction method on dried blood spots.
- In a study across several South American countries, LAMP demonstrated higher sensitivity for detecting infections in newborns compared to traditional microscopy, aligning well with real-time PCR results.
The problem of skill acquisition is ubiquitous and fundamental to life. Most tasks in modern society involve the cooperation with other subjects. Notwithstanding its fundamental importance, teammate selection is commonly overlooked when studying learning.
