Wastewater-Based Epidemiology for Managing the COVID-19 Pandemic [PDF]

ACS ES&T Water, 2021
SARS-CoV-2 is shed by COVID-19 patients and can be detected in wastewater. Thus, testing wastewater for the virus provides a depiction of disease prevalence in a community. Virus concentration data can be utilized to monitor infection trends, identify hot spots, and inform decision makers regarding reopening efforts and directing resources.

Nanobiotechnology enabled approaches for wastewater based epidemiology

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2021
The impacts of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic highlight the importance of environmental monitoring to inform public health safety. Wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) has drawn interest as a tool for analysis of biomarkers in wastewater networks. Wide scale implementation of WBE requires a variety of field deployable analytical tools for real-time ...

Monitoring Genetic Population Biomarkers for Wastewater-Based Epidemiology [PDF]

Analytical Chemistry, 2017
We report a rapid "sample-to-answer" platform that can be used for the quantitative monitoring of genetic biomarkers within communities through the analysis of wastewater. The assay is based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of nucleic acid biomarkers and shows for the first time the ability to rapidly quantify human-specific ...

Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in extensive monitoring of municipal wastewater: key issues to yield reliable results

Water Science and Technology, 2021
Several studies have detected SARS-CoV-2 in the stool of infected people as in urban wastewater. The quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater appears today as a powerful tool that can help in wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE).
