- W2890375249 abstract "ABSTRACT Malaria is a debilitating parasitic disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Microscopic detection of parasites is currently the “gold standard” diagnostic. This technique is limited in its ability to detect low-density infections, is time consuming, and requires a highly trained microscopist. Malaria epidemiological surveillance studies especially aimed at the detection of low-density infection and asymptomatic cases will require more sensitive and user-friendly tools. We have shown previously that the molecular-based, colorimetric malachite green loop-mediated isothermal amplification (MG-LAMP) assay is a valuable tool for diagnosing malaria infection in a laboratory setting. In this study, we field evaluated this assay in a malaria diagnostic post in Roraima, Brazil. We prospectively collected 91 patient samples and performed microscopy, MG-LAMP, and real-time PCR (PET-PCR) to detect Plasmodium infection. Two independent readers were used to score the MG-LAMP tests to assess whether the sample was positive (blue/green) or negative (clear). There was 100% agreement between the two readers (Kappa=1). All tests detected 33 positive samples, but both the MG-LAMP and PET-PCR detected 6 and 7 more positive samples, respectively. The PET-PCR assay detected 6 mixed infections (defined as infection with both P. falciparum and P. vivax ) while microscopy detected one and MG-LAMP detected two of these mixed infections. Microscopy did not detect any Plasmodium infection in 26 of the enrolled asymptomatic cases while MG-LAMP detected five and PET-PCR assay three positive cases. Overall, MG-LAMP provided a simpler and user-friendly molecular method for malaria diagnosis that is more sensitive than microscopy. Additionally, MG- LAMP has the capacity to test 38 samples per run (one hour), allowing for the screening of large number of samples which is appealing when large-scale studies are necessary e.g. in community surveillance studies. The current MG-LAMP assay was limited in its ability to detect mixed infection when compared to the PET-PCR, but otherwise proved to be a powerful tool for malaria parasite detection in the field and opens new perspectives in the implementation of surveillance studies in malaria elimination campaigns." @default.
