Therefore, early and accurate diagnosis of leptospirosis is indeed critical for proper and prompt treatment. Herein, we report the development of single-walled carbon nanotubes based immunofluorescence probe (Carbo-Lip) for the detection of leptospirosis at an early phase by utilising major outer membrane protein, LipL32 of Leptospira...
