Abstract

The EPI-COV project coordinated by Marine Combe (UMR I-SEM 5554 - Research Institute for Development) aims to carry out environmental monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in urban and peri-urban wastewater in French Guyana; to identify the presence and the diversity of the virus in the environment close to the infected persons, susceptible or having recovered from the disease; and to identify the environmental and socio-economic factors potentially involved in the emergence and transmission of Covid-19.
