is a zoonotic nematode which is able to affect animals and humans. Diagnosis in the definitive host and environmental detection are key to prevent its dissemination and achieve control. Herein, a new coprological LAMP method for the detection of (Copro-LAMPAc) DNA was developed. DNA extraction was performed using a low-cost method and a fragment of the -1 gene was used for primer design. The analytical sensitivity, evaluated with serial dilutions of genomic DNA from adult worms, was 100 fg. A specificity of 100% was obtained using genomic DNA from the host and other pathogens. The Copro-LAMPAc was evaluated using environmental canine fecal samples. When compared with gold standard optical microscopy in epidemiological studies, it proved to be more sensitive. This new LAMP assay can provide an alternative protocol for screening and identification of for epidemiological studies in endemic areas.
是一种人畜共患的线虫,能够感染动物和人类。在终末宿主中进行诊断和环境检测是预防其传播并实现控制的关键。在此,开发了一种用于检测(粪便LAMP检测蛔虫)DNA的新粪便学环介导等温扩增方法。使用低成本方法进行DNA提取,并使用-1基因的片段进行引物设计。用来自成年蠕虫的基因组DNA系列稀释液评估的分析灵敏度为100 fg。使用来自宿主和其他病原体的基因组DNA获得了100%的特异性。使用环境犬粪便样本对粪便LAMP检测蛔虫进行了评估。在流行病学研究中与金标准光学显微镜相比,它被证明更敏感。这种新的环介导等温扩增检测方法可以为流行地区流行病学研究中蛔虫的筛查和鉴定提供一种替代方案。
