Detection of Trypanosoma rangeli and Trypanosoma cruzi infections from triatomine bugs

Insect stage	Total no. of samples	T. rangeli		T. cruzi
		PCR	LAMP	PCR	LAMP
		+ve*	+ve	+ve	+ve
Nymph	37	0 (0%)	3 (8%)	7† (19%)	10† (27%)
Adult	15	4‡ (27%)	4‡ (27%)	7‡ (47%)	7‡ (47%)
Total	52	4 (8%)	7 (13%)	14 (27%)	17 (33%)

^*Positive detection.

^†Both loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positively detected T. cruzi from same seven samples, whereas 3 samples were positive by LAMP only.

^‡Four samples were detected as T. cruzi and T. rangeli mixed infections by both LAMP and PCR.
