You may note that the first leptospirosis lateral flow test for canines detecting IgM has been developed. It uses whole blood or serum and is an ideal field test giving results in 10 to 15 minutes. We have a publication which I can forward you should you be interested. An IgM test for humans has also been developed and is now being used in many countires. These products are the result of a collaboration between Lifeassay Diagnostics in Cape Town, South Africa and KIT Biomedical Research in the Netherlands
