Jhannelle will conduct virome analysis of aquatic ecosystems receiving discharges from wastewater treatment facilities and stabilization lagoons from urban and rural areas of Manitoba. Her research will involve metagenomic analysis and culture-independent approaches to study the distribution of viral DNA and RNA in water and sediment samples receiving discharges from wastewater treatment facilities and stabilization lagoons. She will also use quantitative PCR to assess enteric viruses as human-derived fecal markers and SARS-CoV-2 in these aquatic environments of Manitoba.
