The University of Valencia researches the potential for environmental transmission of the coronavirus
The Ministry of Science and Innovation, through the Covid-19 Fund of the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII), funds a study aimed at determining the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental samples, as well as its potential for indirect transmission. The project is coordinated from the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology, in the Science Park of the University of Valencia, and the results will provide valuable information for the management of the epidemic.

A research detects genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in wastewater in the Valencia area previous to February 24
A study by the University of Valencia, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Public Entity of Sanitation of Waters of the Valencian Community has detected genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in untreated wastewater from the Valencia metropolitan area previous to February 24, the date on which the first Valencian case of COVID-19 was known. The remnants of the virus disappeared after the water treatment, as the analysis confirm. To monitor and detect genetic material of the virus in this type of water, the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, Climatic Emergency and Ecological Transition of the Valencian Government has proposed an agreement with the University of Valencia, the Jaume I University of Castellón and the Miguel Hernández University.

Researchers from the University of Valencia analyse how the fungus of verticillium wilt attacks olive trees
Researchers from the Universities of Valencia and Cordoba, as well as from the CSIC Institute for Sustainable Agriculture have studied the fungus of verticilosis, a disease that kills millions of olive trees. Through the observation of the olive root microbiome, they conclude that verticillium wilt is driven by a wide community of microorganisms that unite to attack plants, a fact that rethinks how to cope with it. The results have been published in the prestigious journal BMC Plant Biology.

Scientists from the University of Valencia and the CSIC explain the evolutionary origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and deny the hoax of its creation
Juli Peretó, professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Valencia, and Carlos Briones, chief scientist of the CSIC, have explained the evolutionary origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and have denied one of the current hoaxes on the pathogen, such as its creation in a laboratory. In an article published on the dissemination platform The Conversation, the two researchers point to the origin of SARS-CoV-2 by natural selection from others of the Betacoronavirus genus.
