Recombinase-Aided Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification on Human Plasmodium knowlesi.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a nucleic acid amplification technique that can amplify specific nucleic acids at a constant temperature (63-65°C) within a short period (<1 hour). In this study, we report the utilization of recombinase-aided LAMP to specifically amplify the 18S sRNA of Plasmodium knowlesi. The method was built on a conventional LAMP assay by inclusion of an extra enzyme, namely recombinase, into the master mixture.

Evaluation of A Simple DNA Extraction Method and Its Combination with Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assays for Rapid Diagnosis.

The initial and vital stage in the diagnosis of malaria involves extracting DNA. The efficiency of malaria testing is restricted by the multiple steps involved in commercial DNA extraction kits. We attempted to improve an existing loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the detection of by using a simple DNA extraction approach, making it a feasible option for mass screening.

Point-of-Care Diagnosis of Malaria Using a Simple, Purification-Free DNA Extraction Method Coupled with Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Lateral Flow.

We propose a protocol suitable for point-of-care diagnosis of malaria utilizing a simple and purification-free DNA extraction method with the combination of loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay and lateral flow (LAMP-LF). The multiplex LAMP-LF platform developed here can simultaneously detect and genus (for and ). Through the capillary effect, the results can be observed by the red band signal on the test and control lines within 5 min.
