Wastewater Surveillance in Europe for Non-Polio Enteroviruses and Beyond
Microorganisms, 2023 Wastewater surveillance (WWS) was developed in the early 1960s for the detection of poliovirus (PV) circulation in the population. It has been used to monitor several pathogens, including non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs), which are increasingly recognised

Environmental DNA for improved detection and environmental surveillance of schistosomiasis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance Accurate detection and delineation of schistosomiasis transmission sites will be vital in ongoing efforts to control and ultimately eliminate one of the most neglected tropical parasitic diseases affecting >250 million people worldwide. Conventional methods to detect parasites in the environment are cumbersome and have

Haiti Poliovirus Environmental Surveillance
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019 Poliovirus (PV) environmental surveillance was established in Haiti in three sites each in Port-au-Prince and Gonaïves, where sewage and fecal-influenced environmental open water channel samples were collected monthly from March 2016 to February 2017. The primary objective was to monitor for the emergence of vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) and the
