How is this research conducted? And what do the results of the analyses reveal?
Dr. Leslie Ogorzaly, a virologist who manages the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) Coronastep+ project, spoke to Science.lu about the ongoing research into the Grand Duchy s sewage treatment plants. Her research focuses primarily on methods for the detection of virus particles in water, with a particular interest in characterising the infectious state of viruses.
