Here, a novel rapid and visual detection method based on the combination of recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral flow dipstick (LFD) was developed to detect S. japonicum DNA in fecal samples %K Schistosoma japonicum %K Recombinase polymerase amplification %K Lateral flow dipstick %K Visual detection %K Field application %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5006264/
