Home-Made Lateral Flow Test Strip Versus POC-CCA Assay for Detection of Active Schistosomiasis in Egypt
These results confirm the reliability and effectiveness of the LFTS compared to commercially available kits for rapid, sensitive, and early diagnosis of schistosomiasis. However, it is recommended to conduct further assessments of the developed strip on a larger scale with a broader range of cases before considering its introduction to local or international markets.
