Development of fast assays for the identification of SARS-CoV-2-infected/immune humans/animals and potential human-animal-human transmissions

SARS-CoV-2 is causing a pandemic in humans. Transmission towards animals is experimentally demonstrated but in the field animal infections are rare. With the proposed project, assays will be developed to diagnose Covid-19 in humans/animals and to assess their immune status. In addition, reverse zoonotic and zoonotic aspects will be examined in vitro.
