Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: funding was received from Exploit Technologies' Commercialization of Technology (COT) funding program, and by Veredus Laboratories, CI Group, Molecular Diagnostics Business Unit. The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS NTDs policies on sharing data and materials.
