This study aims to develop a new urine test for schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection. Researchers will test a nanobody-based strip on 2500 participants, comparing it to the standard microscope method. If accurate, it could offer a quick, non-invasive diagnostic tool.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, accurate urine test for schistosomiasis, making diagnosis faster and easier in affected areas.
