Wastewater-Based Epidemiological Surveillance in France: The SUM’EAU Network

Microorganisms
Wastewater surveillance is a powerful public health tool which gained global prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article describes the development and implementation of the national wastewater surveillance network in France: SUM’EAU. Preliminary work included defining a sampling strategy, evaluating/optimising analytical methods, launching a ...

A retrospective longitudinal study of adenovirus group F, norovirus GI and GII, rotavirus, and enterovirus nucleic acids in wastewater solids at two wastewater treatment plants: solid-liquid partitioning and relation to clinical testing data

mSphere
Enteric infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality, yet clinical surveillance is limited. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been used to study community circulation of individual enteric viruses and panels of respiratory diseases ...

Monitoring Community Use of Benzodiazepines Through Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology

Drug Testing and Analysis
ABSTRACT Benzodiazepines and related z‐drugs (BZDs) are widely used pharmaceuticals but require careful monitoring due to limited efficacy, tolerance development and the risk of dependence. Wastewater‐based epidemiology (WBE) is a valuable approach to gather population‐wide information on consumption patterns ...

Unveiling the global urban virome through wastewater metagenomics

Nature Communications
Understanding global viral dynamics is critical for public health. Traditional surveillance focuses on individual pathogens and symptomatic cases, which may miss asymptomatic infections or newly emerging viruses, delaying detection and response ...

Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater from a shared septic system and sub-sewershed sites to expand COVID-19 disease surveillance

Journal of Water and Health
Wastewater-based epidemiology has expanded as a tool for collecting COVID-19 surveillance data, but there is limited information on the feasibility of this form of surveillance within decentralized wastewater systems (e.g., septic systems).

Evaluation of culture conditions for sewage-based surveillance of antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Background: Recent studies have shown promise in predicting clinical antibiotic resistance rates from sewage data. Few have focused on Klebsiella pneumoniae, despite its virulence and importance as carrier of antibiotic resistance.
