MANILA, Philippines — A researcher from the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) together with the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Science and Technology Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST – PCHRD) has developed a tool that can detect disease – causing organisms in bodies of water.
According to CLSU faculty member Rubigilda Paraguison-Alili, the said tool can check the presence of parasites and bacteria that can cause schistosomiasis and leptospirosis.
“Ang biosensor ay parang test kit, siya na nagdedetect ng itong mga pathogens na ito, mga bacteria na ito, mga parasites na ito dito sa tubig,” Paraguison-Alili said in an interview with Inquirer.net.
