 LAMP is widely being studied for detecting infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria,, sleeping sickness, and SARS-COV-2.In developing regions, it has yet to be extensively validated for other common pathogens.LAMP has been observed to be less sensitive (more resistant) than PCR to inhibitors in complex samples such as blood, likely due to use of a different DNA polymerase (typically "Bst" – "Bacillus stearothermophilus" – DNA polymerase rather than "Taq" polymerase as in PCR).
