Abstract

Highlights: [•] Improved lateral flow strip assay to diagnose active Schistosoma infection. [•] Assay materials can be stored and shipped worldwide, both at ambient temperature. [•] Assay materials shipped from the Netherlands, evaluated in Africa by local staff. [•] The lateral flow strip assay performed as least as good as the ELISA. [•] Validation of lightweight reader for analysis of the test strips. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
