Identification of Trypanosomatids by detecting Single Nucleotide Fingerprints using DNA analysis by dynamic chemistry with MALDI-ToF

Citation: Talanta, 2018, 299-307 Protozoan parasites of the Trypanosomatidae family can cause devastating diseases in humans and animals, such as Human African Trypanosomiasis or Sleeping Sickness, Chagas disease and Leishmaniasis. Currently, there are molecular assays for detecting parasitic infections and their post-treatment monitoring based on nucleic acid amplification, but there are still certain limitations which limit the…

Novel molecular assay based on ‘Single Nucleotide Fingerprints’ (SNF) for the diagnosis and monitoring of Trypanosomatids.

Novel molecular assay based on ‘Single Nucleotide Fingerprints’ (SNF) for the diagnosis and monitoring of Trypanosomatids. EDINBURGH, UK and GRANADA, Spain—July 21, 2017— Researchers at the Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO) located in Granada, Spain, in collaboration with DestiNA have developed a novel assay for the diagnosis and monitoring of Trypanosomatids. The method…
