Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is prevalent worldwide and can cause persistent infection with severe morbidity. Antiviral treatment approaches lead to the emergence of viral variants encoding escape mutations that may impede clearance. The frequency these remains unknown in human population as well environment due limited comprehensive data on HEV diversity. In this study, we investigated prevalence diversity circulating environmental samples, is, wastewater rivers from North‐Rhine Westphalia, Germany. could be determined 73% samples tested positive for RNA via qRT‐PCR. Using high‐throughput sequencing, were able assess overall genetic identified presence clinically relevant associated drug resistance. summary, monitoring provide valuable insights into estimating identifying impact outcome.

Although wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) is an efficient community-wide tool, its implementation for pathogen remains limited by ineffective sample treatment procedures, as the complex composition of wastewater often interferes with biomarker recovery. Moreover, current sampling protocols based on grab samples are susceptible to fluctuant concentrations and may increase operative costs, rendering such systems inaccessible communities in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). As a response, passive samplers have emerged way make more obtain reliable, consistent data. Therefore, this study aims review recent developments technologies provide researchers tools develop novel strategies. promising advances development nanostructured been reported, optimization significant area opportunity area, methods flexible, robust adsorption recovery viral genetic materials would greatly improve efficacy WBS while making them accessible worldwide.

Fecal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 leads to a renaissance wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) as additional tool follow epidemiological trends in the catchment treatment plants. As alternative most commonly used composite samples surveillance programs, passive sampling is increasingly studied. However, many sorbent materials different reports hamper comparison results and standardization approach necessary.

During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based epidemiological (WBE) surveillance played a crucial role in evaluating infection rates, analyzing variants, and identifying hot spots community. This expanded possibilities for using wastewater to monitor prevalence of infectious diseases. The full potential WBE remains hindered by several factors, such as lack information on survival pathogens sewage, heterogenicity matrices, inconsistent sampling practices, standard test methods, variable sensitivity analytical techniques.

The 4S were well met. could be successfully applied to implement program including large number medium small treatment plants (<100,000 p.e) high spatial density. Correlations between 7-day incidence or 7-day-hospitalization strong independent method. For test positivity rate, PMMoV-normalized showed better correlation than normalized with chemical markers. low testing frequency 7-day-incidence might become less reliable. Alternative metrics like hospital admissions increasingly evaluating methods. Furthermore, future studies need address variance biological replicates wastewater.
