Field Evaluation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Platform for the Detection of <i>Schistosoma japonicum</i> Infection in <i>Oncomelania hupensis</i> Snails

<i>Schistosoma</i> infection in snails can be monitored by microscopy or indirectly by sentinel mice. As both these approaches can miss infections, more sensitive tests are needed, particularly in low-level transmission settings. In this study, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAM...
