Loop-mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) allows the rapid detection of pathogens by polymerase-mediated amplification of target nucleic acid sequences at a single incubation temperature. LAMP can be combined with very simple sample preparation/crude DNA extraction protocols, allowing the method to be used away from the laboratory for in-field detection. Equally, these benefits can also be leveraged to provide a rapid method suited to high-throughput diagnostic laboratories. In this chapter we described a crude DNA extraction protocol suitable for use in the field and provide a protocol for real-time detection using LAMP.
