Development of a Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for Schistosomiasis Japonica Diagnosis in the Experimental Mice and Domestic Goats

Qinghong Guo et al.

Summary: The LFD-RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity in detecting S. japonicum infections in mice and goats. Compared to real-time PCR, LFD-RPA assay had slightly lower sensitivity, but it offers a quicker and more cost-effective alternative for diagnosis in low-resource settings.

A Real-Time PCR Assay for the Diagnosis of Intestinal Schistosomiasis and Cure Assessment After the Treatment of Individuals With Low Parasite Burden

Liliane Maria Vidal Siqueira et al.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a real-time PCR assay for the diagnosis of intestinal schistosomiasis, as the Kato-Katz technique has low sensitivity for individuals with low parasite burden. The qPCR results showed different performance in two Brazilian districts, emphasizing the need to combine techniques to improve diagnosis accuracy and detect individuals with low parasite burden for disease control.
