The present invention provides rapid diagnostic assays for the detection of Leishmania which can readily be used in the field, leading to more rapid treatment. In certain embodiments, the inventive assays, including ELISA and lateral flow assays, employ antibodies that may be effectively employed to detect the Leishmania major antigen TSA, which is present in both promastigotes grown in culture and in amastigotes. Such assays may be employed to detect the presence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a subject using scrapings, biopsies, and/or aspirates taken from cutaneous lesions.

La présente invention concerne des essais diagnostiques rapides, destinés à la détection de Leishmania. Les essais peuvent être facilement utilisés dans le domaine et conduisent à un traitement plus rapide. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les essais selon l'invention, y compris le test ELISA et des analyses en flux latéral, utilisent des anticorps qui peuvent être employés de manière efficace pour détecter l'antigène majeur de Leishmania, le TSA, présent tant dans des promastigotes développés dans une culture que dans des amastigotes. De tels essais peuvent être utilisés pour détecter la présence d'une leishmaniose cutanée chez un sujet à l'aide de prélèvements, de biopsies, et/ou d'aspirats réalisés sur des lésions cutanées.
