Newly Developed Cellphone-Read Assay Identifies Mosquitoes and Wolbachia

Caption

'Direct nucleic acid analysis of mosquitoes using LAMP-OSD. Analysis of blood-fed mosquito macerates using coi and wsp LAMP-OSD assays. The Ae. aegypti-specific coi assay produces a bright signal only in the presence of Ae. aegypti mosquito sample. Similarly, the Wolbachia-specific wsp assay generates a signal only in Wolbachia-infected Ae. albopictus samples.'
