Illicit drug use in Reykjavik by wastewater-based epidemiology

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Estimation of illicit drug use on a community level by wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is both an objective and reliable way to establish near real-time results. Wastewater samples were collected at eleven timepoints in Reykjavik from 2017 to 2020.

A framework for integrating wastewater-based epidemiology and public health. [PDF]

Front Public Health
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an environmental approach to monitor community health through the analysis of sewage. The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed scientists and public health professionals to revisit WBE as a tool to optimize resource allocation to mitigate disease spread and prevent outbreaks.

Biosensors for the detection of disease outbreaks through wastewater-based epidemiology

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2022
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) is a novel community-wide monitoring tool that provides comprehensive real-time data of the public and environmental health status and can contribute to public health interventions, including those related to infectious disease outbreaks (e.g., the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic).

Data Hidden in Sewage: Advanced Methods for Identification and Quantification of Synthetic Cannabinoids in Urban Wastewater

Molecules
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) represent one of the rapidly growing groups of new psychoactive substances (NPS) on the illicit drug market. SCs mimic the effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, but they have a greater affinity to the receptors, resulting in ...

Presence of dengue virus RNA in urine and oral fluid of laboratory-confirmed dengue patients: Implications for wastewater surveillance

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: Dengue cases in the Americas in 2024 have reached record highs, especially in Brazil. However, surveillance remains suboptimal and new methods are needed to monitor Dengue Virus (DENV) spread. To assess whether wastewater-based epidemiology

Investigating the Heat Stability and Inactivation Conditions of Decapod Iridescent Virus 1 (DIV1)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat treatment effectively inactivates decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) under milder conditions than current WOAH recommendations. DIV1 infectivity was eliminated at 56°C for 30 min, 60°C for 15 min, or 70°C for 1 min, providing optimized heat treatment strategies for aquaculture biosecurity and seafood safety.
