Long-Term Sewage Survey of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and Correlation to Human Cases in a City with One Million Inhabitants

Microorganisms
Wastewater-based epidemiology is a robust, scalable, cost-effective, and high-performing tool to monitor and predict SARS-CoV-2 trends. We aimed to investigate whether this approach could be applied to influenza A/B viruses and respiratory syncytial ...

Early Prediction of Type‐Specific Influenza Incidence Using Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that influenza incidence can be accurately predicted using viral RNA concentrations in wastewater. We also developed a method to separately estimate the incidence of influenza A and influenza B. Wastewater‐based estimates can theoretically detect epidemic trends approximately one week earlier than conventional case reporting, suggesting

Assessment of sewer connectivity in the United States and its implications for equity in wastewater-based epidemiology.

PLOS Global Public Health
Wastewater-based epidemiology is a promising public health tool that can yield a more representative view of the population than case reporting. However, only about 80% of the U.S.

Whole Genome Characterization of Klebsiella Strains in European Hedgehogs and Human Nosocomial Settings Identified Shared Sequence Types, Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Plasmids

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae is a pathogen associated with healthcare‐acquired infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to beta‐lactams and carbapenems. Although wild animals are not typically exposed to antibiotics, they can harbour resistant strains. The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is increasingly found in urban areas,

Multi-scale wastewater surveillance at a Bangkok tertiary care hospital: A potential sentinel site for real-time COVID-19 surveillance at hospital and national levels.

PLOS Global Public Health
Wastewater-based epidemiology is a valuable tool for population-level pathogen surveillance, complementing clinical methods. While most sampling focuses on municipal wastewater treatment plants, emerging evidence suggests wastewater collected from ...

Mechanistic Insights and Performance Advancements in Flow Capacitive Deionisation for Sustainable Energy Conversion

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flow capacitive deionisation is an advanced electrochemical technology for water purification and energy‐related applications. It represents a viable alternative to conventional desalination methods due to its low operating voltage, continuous electrode regeneration, and stable performance under moderate‐to‐high salinity conditions. The use of

First molecular detection of five gastroenteritis viruses in untreated wastewater and impact of seasonal change on their distribution in Cameroon

One Health
Background: Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a valuable tool for surveilling food- and waterborne disease outbreaks. However, wastewater-based epidemiology remains poorly understood in sub-Saharan Africa.
