A new rapid molecular malaria diagnostic test called Loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) has been recently validated in clinical trials showing exceptional sensitivity and specificity features. It could be a reliable d... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - PLASMODIUM-FALCIPARUM; DIAGNOSIS; PARASITES; POINT; VIVAX; ASSAY; LAMP; KIT; 3111 Biomedicine N1 - PP - ER -
