Comparative sensitivity of DOT - enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DOTELISA) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the detection of trypanosome infection in tsetse flies (Glossina spp.)

Dot-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA), developed for the detection and identification of trypanosome species in tsetse flies, was validated in the laboratory by comparing its sensitivity to that of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tsetse flies were experimentally infected with differ...
