Isothermal diagnostic assays for the detection of soil-transmitted helminths based on the SmartAmp2 method

Abstract Background Diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) has traditionally relied on stool microscopy, which has a number of critical deficiencies. Molecular diagnostics are powerful tools to identify closely related species, but the requirement for costly equipment makes their implementat...
