Validation study of Boil & Spin Malachite Green Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (B&S MG-LAMP) versus microscopy for malaria detection in the Peruvian Amazon.

Malaria elimination efforts in Peru have dramatically reduced the incidence of cases in the Amazon Basin. To achieve the elimination, the detection of asymptomatic and submicroscopic carriers becomes a priority. Therefore, efforts should focus on tests sensitive enough to detect low-density parasite...

Compared to expert microscopy, the genus B&S MG-LAMP had a sensitivity of 99.4% (95%CI: 96.9%- 100%) and specificity of 97.1% (95%CI: 91.9%- 99.4%). The P. vivax specific B&S MG-LAMP had a sensitivity of 99.4% (96.6%- 100%) and specificity of 99.2% (95.5%- 100%) and the P. falciparum assay had a sensitivity of 100% (95%CI: 78.2%- 100%) and specificity of 99.3% (95%CI: 97.3%- 99.8%). The modified genus B&S MG-LAMP assay detected eight submicroscopic malaria cases (1.6%) which the species-specific assays did not identify. The turnaround time of B&S MG-LAMP was faster than expert microscopy with as many as 60 samples being processed per day by field technicians with limited training and utilizing a simple heat-block.

To achieve the elimination, the detection of asymptomatic and submicroscopic carriers becomes a priority.
