Topic: 
Wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor covid-19 outbreak: present and future diagnostic methods to be in your radar
The occurrence and spread of the novel corona virus SARS-CoV-2 at the end of 2019, has led WHO to announce the outbreak of a pandemic. Restriction measures were taken from authorities globally, in order to impede its spread. In Cyprus, a strict lockdown period was implemented on the 24th March of...Read more

Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology

Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more

SARS-Cov-2 in wastewater: a seven-month period of monitoring infection dynamic in Athens

Kontou A., Galani A., Kostakis M., Markou A., Lianidou E., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic: 
Wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor covid-19 outbreak: present and future diagnostic methods to be in your radar
Since December 2019, COVID-19 has spread rapidly all over the world with considerable morbidity and mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infections are accompanied by the shedding of virus in feces of both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, indicating that Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE) is an...Read more
