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 collected from hospital settings can lead to targeted interventions. To investigate surveillance in further, we tracked the presence and concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA across multi-scale sample sites within large, public tertiary care Bangkok, Thailand. From July 2022 May 2023, weekly samples (n=392) were various including non-clinical facilities, as well hospital’s plant. Influent at center yielded consistent detection all sites, with 26 samples. Despite varied building usage patterns, significant moderate negative correlations found 90% (9/10) between RT-PCR cycle threshold values case data national reports. Targeting specific buildings distinct trends, indicating their potential offer complementary insights into viral shedding transmission among sub-populations campus. Our findings suggest that wastewater-based reflects broader community disease which may be especially useful regions limited coverage. Large hospitals could serve effective cost-efficient sentinel future monitoring, guiding health actions.

Management of sewage sludge is ongoing concern because this waste product generated continuously and contains high levels harmful constituents. Among these constituents, fungal pathogens are increasing concern. Vermicomposting can reduce the amounts bacterial in sludge; however, information about effects earthworms on limited or non-existent. We therefore aimed to determine whether vermicomposting control present sludge. Using next-generation sequencing techniques, we characterized communities from eight wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) casts (feces) feeding Fungal earthworm primarily included taxa that were absent sludges, indicating a significant change composition. Changes diversity depended source (WWTP). All sludges contained low pathogens, most which significantly reduced eliminated by earthworms, such as Armillaria, Cystobasidium, Exophiala Ophiosthoma. Moreover, gut transit enhanced beneficial (saprotrophic) fungi like Arthrobotrys, Aseroe, Crepidotus Trichurus. Overall, digestion alone mainly pathogen-free community with proportion saprotrophic taxa, would enhance nutrient cycling rates.

Detecting and monitoring the spread of airborne viruses is critical for mitigating infectious diseases safeguarding public health. Indoor air sampling has emerged as a promising but underexplored approach to surveillance viral pathogens, complementing more established methods such clinical diagnostics wastewater-based epidemiology. This review examines current state knowledge on indoor nucleic acid detection, focusing sources composition bioaerosols, technologies, strategies effective implementation. contains particles originating from human occupants through exhaled respiratory droplets, skin shedding, resuspension contaminated dust, making it valuable target biosurveillance. Although typically account less than 1% total sequences in metagenomic studies air, wide range human-infecting viruses, including skin-associated have been successfully detected samples using various capture mechanisms, filtration, impaction, impingement, cyclonic separation, electrostatic precipitation, condensation. However, challenges remain optimizing efficiency, particularly submicrometer particles, recovering sufficient acids analysis. Potential pathogen biosurveillance include active high-traffic settings airports, transit systems, healthcare facilities, well passive collection settled dust surfaces. The use heating, ventilation, conditioning (HVAC) systems bioaerosol also promising, further research needed establish its effectiveness. Future should focus addressing gaps, methodologies, developing best practices integrating into health while considering privacy implications.
