The LAMP reaction enables easy identification of positive tests due to the accumulation of high amounts of amplification products in the reaction tubes. Further improvement in visual identification can be realized through the addition of intercalating dyes such as SYBR green or hydroxynapthtol blue to reaction tubes [31] . This therefore precludes the need for post amplification analysis and hence reduces cost and labour. LAMP has also been shown to be less affected by a number of inhibitors of conventional PCR [32] . Additionally the closed tube format of this assay reduces problem of carry over contamination which is likely in less controlled environments [33] . With all of these characteristics LAMP of DNA has emerged as a powerful tool to facilitate point of care diagnostic test [31] .
