Filipino researchers have created rapid on-site test kits to detect waterborne diseases leptospirosis and schistosomiasis. 🧪💧
A collaboration between Central Luzon State University and DOST-PCHRD, these kits can quickly check if floodwaters contain leptospira bacteria (leptospirosis) or schistosoma parasite (schistosomiasis) — helping keep communities safe during the rainy season. 🌧️🇵🇭
