摘要: Neospora caninum is a cyst-forming, coccidian parasite which known to cause neurological disorders in dogs and abortion neonatal mortality cows other livestock. This study reports the development of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay based on Nc-5 gene compares its efficacy for detecting DNA that semi-nested PCR test. Six primers were designed repeat region N. caninum. Specific LAMP led successful at 63 °C 30 min. The was highly specific (i.e. it did not reveal cross-reactivity with species) had low plasmid limit detection (1 fg), ten times higher than PCR. applicability evaluated using set naturally-infected samples (59 from canine faeces five bovine abortions). Thirty-nine percent (25/64) positive by 36% (23/64) However, much faster perform provides results optimized reaction conditions described this resulted sensitive, rapid technique DNA. Considering advantages DNA, further assays aimed testing usefulness wider range field are recommended.
