Immunochromatographic strip for detecting viscerotropic leishmania infection and diagnosing kala-azar

The invention discloses an immunochromatographic strip for detecting viscerotropic leishmania infection and diagnosing kala-azar, which comprises a sample pad, a conjugate pad which is closely connected to the sample pad and contains a colloidal gold-labeled probe, a cellulose membrane closely connected with the conjugate pad and a water absorption pad closely connected to the cellulose membrane. The water absorption pad is far away from the conjugate pad, a quality control line is arranged at one end of the cellulose membrane, which is close to the water absorption pad, a detection line is positioned on the cellulose membrane between the quality control line and the conjugate pad, the detection line contains soluble antigen of the viscerotropic leishmania, and the quality control line contains antibodies specifically binding to the colloidal gold-labeled probe. The invention further provides a kit containing the immunochromatographic strip and a preparation method for the immunochromatographic strip. The immunochromatographic strip has the advantages of being simple and convenient to use, high in sensitivity and specificity, fast in detection, and simultaneously applicable to clinical and field use for human, livestock and wild animals.
