Abstract：
:Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel molecular method that accelerates and facilitates DNA amplification and detection under isothermal conditions. It represents a revolution in molecular biology by reducing the high cost, turnaround time and technicality of polymerase chain reaction and other amplification methods. It has been applied for the diagnosis of a variety of viral, bacterial, parasitic and other diseases in the biomedical field. LAMP has been involved in studies concerning the diagnosis of malaria which is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality in different parts of the world. For the success attained with this technology to diagnose human malaria, is it time to think that LAMP-based point-of-care diagnostics come to application to support the diagnosis of clinical malaria cases? The present review deals with the use of LAMP in the diagnosis of malaria and related investigations to make a view on what has been investigated and highlights the future perspectives regarding the possible applications of LAMP in diagnosis of the disease.
