Urban political ecologies of sewage surveillance: Creating vital and valuable public health data from wastewater

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract With the outbreak of COVID‐19, wastewater surveillance for public health rapidly emerged and expanded globally. In this article we chart the variegated ecosystem of private firms that work closely with public and non‐profit entities to transform metabolic flows of sewage into vital and valuable bioinformation, thereby creating new multi ...

Anticipating the species jump: surveillance for emerging viral threats. [PDF]

, 2012
Zoonotic disease surveillance is typically triggered after animal pathogens have already infected humans. Are there ways to identify high-risk viruses before they emerge in humans? If so, then how and where can identifications be made and by what methods?

Invasive Species Monitoring Is Improved by Combining eDNA qPCR and Traditional Microscopy Methods

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study evaluated two methods for detecting invasive dreissenid mussels–environmental DNA (eDNA) testing and cross‐polarized light microscopy–across samples from infested water bodies. Results indicated that eDNA testing could improve early detection sensitivity, as it identified dreissenid DNA in samples where microscopy did not detect larvae.

Method selection and adaptation for distributed monitoring of infectious diseases for syndromic surveillance [PDF]

, 2011
BackgroundAutomated surveillance systems require statistical methods to recognize increases in visit counts that might indicate an outbreak. In prior work we presented methods to enhance the sensitivity of C2, a commonly used time series method.

Newcomers and Old Friends: Long‐Distance and Bridgehead Introductions Both Contribute to the Recent Invasion of the Little Fire Ant in Southern Europe

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biological invasions result from the combination of (i) population dispersal opportunities and (ii) adaptations to the recipient environment. Identifying complex migration histories, made of long‐distance dispersal from the native range and secondary introductions, or genetic patterns indicative of adaptation is crucial to build coherent ...

Pandemic Prevention Paradigms: Understanding Global Health Governance

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
One Health is an emerging area of integrative studies and interventions aimed at preventing zoonotic diseases by addressing human, animal, and environmental interactions. A fundamental aspect of the concept is understanding how these interactions influence health outcomes among humans, animals, and ecosystems. Developed initially to respond to the need
