Japanese researchers led by Yasuhiro Tsukamoto at Kyoto Prefectural University have developed masks that use ostrich antibodies to detect traces of the coronavirus by glowing under ultraviolet light. The team created a mask filter coated with ostrich antibodies targeting the coronavirus, based on previous research showing the birds have strong disease resistance. The discovery could provide for low-cost testing of the virus at home, they said in a press release.
