In this preliminary study, we evaluated the performance of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) against microscopy to detect CAT in six exotic dog breeds naturally infected with trypanosomes from Zambia's South Luangwa National Park and Chiawa Game Management Area. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CAT in Zambia. The patients exhibited a variety of aspecific clinical signs. The LAMP did not only confirm all six parasitologically positive CAT cases detected passively between April 2010 and January 2012, but was also critical in trypanosome speciation. According to LAMP, the majority of the dogs had monolytic infections with either <jats:italic>Trypanosoma congolense<\/jats:italic> or <jats:italic>Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense<\/jats:italic>. The LAMP is thus a potential simple and cost-effective tool for trypanosome diagnosis in endemic regions. The rare report of zoonotic trypanosomes in dogs in Zambia has public health implications and justifies further investigations of CAT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,29]],"date-time":"2013-05-29T06:38:16Z","timestamp":1369809496000},"page":"116-118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Preliminary
