At Incas Diagnostics, we believe every community holds answers to improving public health. Our latest project takes us to Nalerigu, where our research team examines stool samples from cattle rearers and their cattle in our facility to uncover the hidden links between human and animal health. By studying the intestinal parasites present in both, we […]
Abstract Introduction Yaws, caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue, is a neglected tropical disease targeted for eradication by 2030. Improved diagnostics will be essential to meet this goal. Diagnosis of yaws has relied heavily on clinical and serological tools. However, the presence of coendemic cutaneous skin ulcer diseases, such as lesions caused by […]
Abstract The eradication of yaws caused by Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue is constrained by the lack of rapid, accurate diagnosis. We sought to develop a molecular point-of-care test for the diagnosis of yaws. A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay with primers targeting the conserved gene, tp0967, with visual detection by lateral flow test strip was […]
Abstract While identifying acute HIV infection is critical to providing prompt treatment to HIV-positive individuals and preventing transmission, existing laboratory-based testing methods are too complex to perform at the point of care. Specifically, molecular techniques can detect HIV RNA within 8–10 days of transmission but require laboratory infrastructure for cold-chain reagent storage and extensive sample […]
