Development of lateral flow assay for point-of-care diagnosis of trypanosomosis in equines

Trypanosomosis, commonly known as ‘Surra’ in Indian subcontinent caused by Trypanosoma evansi is a worldwide parasitic disease of wild and domestic animals. The disease is transmitted mechanically by biting and interrupted feeding of infected animals by haematophagous flies. The diagnostic methods available for this disease requ ire high-end instruments, skilled manpower and are time-consuming. In the present investigation, we attempted an immunoassay based on gold nanoparticles for diagnosis of T.
