Detection of mutation by allele-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (AS-LAMP)
A. BADOLO
For effective control of pathogen-transmitting mosquitoes, precise surveillance data of mosquito distribution are essential. Recently, an increase of insecticide resistance due to the kdr mutation in Anopheles gambiae, a mosquito that transmits the malaria parasite, has been reported. With the aim of developing a simple and effective method fo(...)
