Overview

This article reports the establishment of a viral extracts repository during COVID-19 in Misiones, highlighting its One Health approach and challenges.

Key Points

  • The COVID-19 pandemic spurred the adaptation of a biodiversity biobank for diagnostic testing, enhancing its functionality.
  • IMiBio's new repository of viral extracts facilitates detection of SARS-CoV-2 across wildlife, improving epidemiological surveillance.
  • Challenges in standardization and management were addressed as the biobank expanded its scope and capabilities during the pandemic.
  • Post-pandemic perspectives suggest further integration of human, animal, and environmental health in biodiversity conservation efforts.
