BackgroundAsymptomaticLeishmaniainfections outnumber clinical infections on the Indian sub-continent (ISC) where disease reservoirs are anthroponotic. Diagnostics which detect active asymptomatic infection, which are suitable for monitoring and surveillance, may be of benefit to the visceral leishmaniasis (VL) elimination campaign on the ISC.Methodology/Principal FindingsQuantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), the direct agglutination test (DAT), and theLeishmaniaantigen ELISA were carried out on blood and urine samples collected from 720 household and neighbouring contacts of 276 VL and post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) index cases, with no symptoms or history of VL and PKDL, in endemic regions of Bangladesh between September 2016 and March 2018. Of the 720 contacts of index cases, asymptomatic infection was detected in 69 (9.6%) participants by a combination of qPCR (1.0%), LAMP (2.1%), DAT (3.9%), andLeishmaniaantigen ELISA (3.3%). Only 1 (0.1%) participant was detected positive by all 4 diagnostic tests. Poor agreement between tests was calculated using Cohen’s kappa (k) statistics, however theLeishmaniaantigen ELISA and DAT in combination capture all participants positive by more than one test. We find strong evidence for association between the index case being a PKDL case (OR 1.94, p = 0.009), specifically macular PKDL (OR 2.12, p = 0.004) and being positive for at least one of the four tests.Conclusions/SignificanceLeishmaniaantigen ELISA detects active asymptomatic infection, requires a non-invasive sample, and therefore may be of benefit for monitoring transmission and surveillance in an elimination setting in combination with serology. Development of an antigen detection test in RDT format would be of benefit to the elimination campaign.Author summaryInfection with the parasiteLeishmania donovanican lead to an asymptomatic infection with only around 5% of asymptomatics converting to visceral leishmaniasis the clinical manifestation of the infection. Serological assays detect anti-Leishmaniaantibodies and therefore cannot distinguish between past and active infection. Molecular assays and those which detectLeishmaniaantigens detect active infection. Since the signing of a memorandum of understanding in 2005, visceral leishmaniasis has been targeted for elimination in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. In an elimination setting such as Bangladesh, where disease reservoirs are anthroponotic, a relatively simple test such as theLeishmaniaantigen ELISA which requires a non-invasive urine sample, may be of benefit in combination with serology for surveillance and monitoring ofLeishmaniatransmission. Development of an antigen test into a field compatible rapid diagnostic test would be of further benefit to the elimination campaign.
