Study reveals survival time of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater: Implications for public health

Study investigated the survival of SARS-CoV-2 in three wastewater matrices - filtered and unfiltered raw wastewater, and secondary effluent. The time required for inactivation of 90% of SARS-CoV-2 was observed to be 10.4, 10.8, and 18.3 hours for unfiltered raw, filtered raw, and secondary effluent, respectively.

A rapid and affordable in vitro model to test SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility in animal species

Research investigates the susceptibility of seven bat species to SARS-CoV-2 by expressing their ACE2 receptor in a non-permissive avian cell line. The study found that all seven bat species were susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, but the level of virus replication differed between bat species and virus variants.
