Rapid Detection of Salmonella on Commercial Carcasses by Using Isothermal and Chimeric Primer- Initiated Amplification of Nucleic Acids (ICAN)-Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) in Zambia

KEY WORDS: S a l m o n e l l a, isothermal and chimeric primer, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Zambia ABSTRACT S a l m o n e l l a infections in human population belong to the most important foodborne zoonoses in the world. Therefore, studies on rapid methods for detection of S a l m o n e l l a in animal-derived foods and ready-to-eatfoods are needed. We describe a 2-step method using isothermal and chimeric Inter
