Development and Validation of In‐House Conventional and Multiplex <scp>PCR</scp> Methods for the Detection and Identification of <i>Lophomonas</i> spp.: An Innovative Approach
This study demonstrates that the in-house multiplex-PCR is a robust and accurate diagnostic test for the detection and identification of Lophomonas species. Therefore, our findings suggest that this method may be a powerful tool to overcome some diagnostic pitfalls for lophomoniasis.
