Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Maria Sandino"
Ana Maria Sandino's recent research primarily focuses on the epidemiology and molecular diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting issues such as the persistence of viral infection and reinfection rates.
Additionally, she investigates antiviral compounds like lambda carrageenan for their efficacy against infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in aquaculture, demonstrating significant antiviral properties.
Her studies critically evaluate the sensitivity of various RT-qPCR kits for SARS-CoV-2 detection, identifying potential issues such as false negatives and emphasizing the need for ongoing genomic surveillance in the face of evolving viral variants.
