A protoype lateral flow device for the diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis.

The photograph shows a scientist holding three prototype lateral flow tests developed with sera from two patients infected with Trypanosma brucei gambiense (left and right) and from one uninfected patient (middle). Robust, cheap, and simple methods are needed for the diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis in the field. This device, developed by The University of Dundee and BB International, represents a step towards that goal. See Sullivan et al.
