FAQs
How are viruses detected in water?
Advanced PCR, RT-qPCR and genetic sequencing techniques are used to identify viruses in water, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and poliovirus, ensuring reliable epidemiological surveillance.
Can antimicrobial resistance be detected in environmental samples?
Yes, the analyses identify antimicrobial resistance genes and antimicrobial agents in water and clinical samples, providing critical information for public health and biosecurity.
What are bioindicators in environmental DNA analysis?
Bioindicators are organisms or molecules reflecting the presence of pathogens or contaminants in water. Their analysis allows environmental risk assessment, detection of waterborne diseases and support for epidemiological surveillance.
