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

Microfiltration (MF) and Ultrafiltration (UF) for Sewage and Surface Water Concentration for SARS‐CoV‐2 and Other Enveloped Viruses' Detection in Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology (WBE)

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study objective was to evaluate hollow fiber membranes for concentration of enveloped enteric viruses in sewage and surface water samples. Microfiltration (MF, 0.2 µm nominal pore size) and ultrafiltration (UF, 100 kDa molecular weight cut‐off) hollow fiber membranes were compared for the concentration of the bovine respiratory syncytial ...

Estimating Illicit Stimulant Drug Consumption in Luxembourg Using Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Wastewater‐based epidemiology provided nationwide estimates of illicit stimulant consumption in Luxembourg, revealing higher urban use, weekend increases in cocaine and MDMA, and cocaine as the dominant stimulant. The approach offers an objective complement to conventional drug surveillance for informing public health and policy.
