To date, the diagnosis of the severe infectious disease leishmaniosis is still highly unreliable in endemic areas of Eastern Africa, since the pathogen occurring in these regions differs from pathogens present in other endemic areas of South Africa and Asia. Moreover, leishmaniasis is also spreading in southern Europe because infected dogs represent a major source of risk for the transmission to humans.
A cost-effective and time-efficient diagnostics was developed which provides a more
reliable diagnosis of leishmaniasis in humans and animals as compared to currently
available diagnostics. This diagnostics is particularly suitable for a use as rapid test,
allowing an uncomplicated application outside of clinics and laboratories and
consequently a more efficient and improved diagnosis of leishmaniasis in hospitals
and in the field.
This is because warmer temperatures and other changes in the atmosphere related to a changing climate, including higher atmospheric levels of methane, spur…
