Abstract A pandemic of acute respiratory disease referred to as COVID-19 has been caused by the highly infectious and transmissible Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which threatened human health. Although SARS-CoV-2 RNA found in wastewater from numerous regions different countries due fecal shedding infected individuals, there is still little information available regarding how prevalent it other water matrices especially groundwater, where some areas rely on supply drinking water, irrigation farmlands, purposes. This study attempted assess presence this virus genome groundwater samples Tehran, Iran. These were collected seasonally 12 sites over years period (2021–2023). At first, a adsorption-elution (VIRADEL) concentration procedure was tested utilizing an avian coronavirus (infectious bronchitis virus, IBV) process control followed extraction. Subsequently, quantified using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) detect E S genes. As result, detected 1 out 96 with 2/53 × 103 3/16 copies/l for genes, respectively. Furthermore, positive sample subjected semi-nested PCR targeting partial gene, direct sequencing, phylogenetic mutation analysis. BA.1 Omicron only identified variant during study. findings show important water-based epidemiology monitor at community-level subsequent exposure, even when prevalence low.

Background: Waterborne diseases pose a significant global public health threat, compelling enhanced comprehensive surveillance. This study investigates the current infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance systems, including wastewater environmental (WES), in three sub-Saharan African countries: Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The countries have their specificities regarding networks logistic systems. So, emphasizing need to strengthen existing surveillance, paper advocates for incorporating WES systems specifically designed countries' context monitor waterborne re-emerging pathogens, as well AMR.Methods: National workshops were conducted assess clinical identify priority pathogens new monitoring. Data collected through surveys from experts academia, research, policy, healthcare. Results: Prioritized include (poliovirus, Salmonella Typhi, Vibrio cholerae), respiratory (influenza A&B, SARS-CoV-2), other (Measles Rubella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Recommended AMR drug-resistant tuberculosis, spp., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase carbapenemase-producing E. coli. DRC employ DHSI2-based centralized electronic data collection, complemented by Excel paper-based registries. approach is commonly employed monitoring poliovirus rarely pathogens. Discussion conclusions: valuable tool early detection locally circulating human-derived aiding outbreak detection, data-driven epidemic response, prevention. availability results underscores importance effective sanitation safeguarding human, animal, health. pivotal integrated risk management, preventing outbreaks, protecting drinking water sources, ultimately gaining various UN Sustainable Development Goals. highlights customized line with each country's context, localized approaches AMR.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted an overwhelming surge in research investigating different aspects of the disease and its causative agent. In this study, we aim to discern themes trends field wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) SARS-CoV-2 other respiratory viruses over past decade. We examined 904 papers authored by researchers from 87 countries. Despite low reported incidence 2023, are still interested application WBE SARS-CoV-2. Based on network visualization mapping 189 keyword co-occurrences, method optimization, source, transmission, survival, surveillance or early-warning detection systems, variants concern wastewater were found be topics greatest interest among researchers. A trend toward evaluations utility new technologies such as digital PCR for viruses, particularly influenza, was observed. USA emerged leading country terms publications, citations, international collaborations. Additionally, Science Total Environment stood out journal with highest number publications citations. study highlighted areas further research, including data normalization biosensor-based collection, emphasized need collaboration standardized methodology future directions.
