About
Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for the provision of helminth screening testing services for approximately 400 Gurkha recruits annually at the Infantry Training Centre (ITC) Catterick Medical Centre.
The contract, valued at £216,032, covers stool concentration culture, stool culture, stool PCR, and Strongyloides ELISA antibody testing with frozen serum storage for each recruit, along with the supply of stool specimen pots and serology tubes.
This screening addresses the risk of false negative IGRA tests associated with helminth infections, which can lead to undetected latent tuberculosis.
