Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Detection of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in Urine and Saliva Samples in Nonhuman Primate Model

Figure 5

Comparison of LAMP, PCR, and parasitological methods in trypanosome mean detection rate in serum, saliva, and urine samples obtained from monkeys infected with T. b. gambiense IL3253 from 3 to 180 days after infection. There was no amplification in any CSF sample with either LAMP or PCR. There was also no amplification noted in urine using PCR.
