Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has been applied for the detection of various parasites, and its application in lateral flow dipstick (LFD) can improve the convenience of point-of-care diagnosis. A novel PAR-LAMP probe and primers were designed by manual selection from a region of low variation in the ITS-2 DNA sequence. Up to six species of rumen fluke were detected by LAMP and LAMP-LFD in this study. Target specificity and sensitivity were tested, revealing a high target specificity (accuracy) and a low limit of detection (sensitivity). Different target sensitivities of paramphistome were presented, including 5 pg for Gastrothylax crumenifer and Carmyerius sp.; 1 pg for Fischoederius elongatus, Orthocoelium parvipapillatum, and O. dicranocoelium; and 0.1 pg for Paramphistomum epiclitum. LAMP-LFD can detect a paramphistome egg even in contaminated in feces that was spiked with the egg under laboratory conditions. In addition, natural paramphistome infection in cattle from Surat Thani and Khon Kaen provinces, Thailand, was evaluated by detection of egg contamination in fecal specimens using PAR-LAMP primers. The PAR-LAMP detection result was also statistically evaluated by microscopic examination of feces. This study presents the application of novel manually designed primers in a LAMP-LFD system for improving performance in detection and diagnosis assays for paramphistomosis. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
