Aim: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is increasingly used to monitor pandemics. In this manuscript, we review methods and limitations of WBE, as well their online dashboards. Materials & methods: Online dashboards were retrieved using PubMed search engines, annotated for timeliness, availability English version, details on SARS-CoV-2 sublineages, normalization by population PPMoV load, case/hospitalization count charts raw data export. Results: We 51 web portals, half them from Europe. Africa represented South only, only seven portals are available Asia. Conclusion: WBS provides near-real-time cost-effective monitoring analytes across space time in populations. However, tremendous heterogeneity still persists the WBE literature.

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the strategic value of wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) SARS-CoV-2. This multisite 28-month-long study focused on WBS for older residents in 12 long-term care facilities (LTCFs) Edmonton (AB, Canada) by assessing relationships between COVID-19, WBS, and serostatus during pandemic.

Abstract Persons living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) were disproportionately affected by COVID-19. We used wastewater surveillance to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection this setting collecting and testing 24-hour composite samples 2–4 times weekly at 6 LTCFs Kentucky, USA, during March 2021–February 2022. The routinely tested staff symptomatic exposed residents for using rapid antigen tests. Of 780 analyzed, 22% (n = 173) had detectable RNA. reported 161 positive (of 16,905) clinical signal showed variable correlation with test data; we observed the strongest correlations most tests 45 n 58). Wastewater was 48% sensitive 80% specific identifying infections found on testing, which limited frequency, coverage, performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations, including residents of assisted living facilities (ALFs). This study investigates the impact non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and mass vaccination campaigns on SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics within four ALFs in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States from January to April 2021. Initial observations reveal a significant prevalence with 7452 new cases reported 4 Wastewater surveillance indicates elevated viral loads peak concentrations reaching 1.35 × 10
