ZiP Diagnostics is developing a world-first point-of-care molecular diagnostic test for scabies and co-infections, and our work has been featured by ABC News!

We are pleased to be working with Menzies School of Health Research to trial this product, and our collaborative team had a great opportunity to talk about the significant impact our test could have in the fight to control scabies; a skin parasite which affects more than 200 million people each year.
