Detecting Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica microRNAs using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)

Fascioliasis is a parasitic infection typically caused by two common parasites of class Trematodo, genus Fasciola, named Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. The widespread appearance of these species in water and food makes fascioliasis become a global zoonotic disease that affects 2.4 million people in more than 75 countries worldwide.
