The 10 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of the Caribbean in this study have unsustainable water-energy-food Nexus conditions, with stress becoming more acute via climate change, population demographics and increasing tourist demands. Water resources are limited, wastewater treatment is inadequate or missing. Nature-based solutions (NBS), especially constructed wetlands, effective options for all SIDS added value recreation, conservation product development. On islands abundant rainfall, NBS treated water adds little to total resources, but can be important small scale agriculture. Rainwater harvesting an alternative source individual households communities, reuse from infrastructure has greatest potential reach sustainability, while protecting coastal waters sewage pollution. Tourism a two-edged sword. It swells populations associated demand significantly degrade if wastes not effectively. However, partnership among industry, local communities national government must given top priority ensure sustainability Water-Energy-Food (WEF) face progressively numbers pressures. Effective governance needed at island regional level develop sound adaptative management approaches sustainability.

Monkeypox disease (MPXD), a viral caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), is an emerging zoonotic endemic in some countries of Central and Western Africa but seldom reported outside affected region. Since May 2022, MPXD has been at least 74 globally, prompting World Health Organization to declare outbreak Public Emergency International Concern. As July 24, 2022; 92 % (68/74) with cases had no historical case reports. From One perspective, spread MPXV environment poses risk not only humans also small mammals may, ultimately, potent novel host populations. Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) extensively utilized monitor communicable diseases, particularly during ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It helped monitoring infectious caseloads as well specific variants circulating communities. The detection DNA lesion materials (e.g. skin, vesicle fluid, crusts), skin rashes, various body fluids, including respiratory nasal secretions, saliva, urine, feces, semen infected individuals, supports possibility using WBS early proxy for infections. can be used activity/trends sewerage network areas even before detecting laboratory-confirmed clinical within community. However, several factors affect wastewater including, limited to, routes duration time shedding infection rates relevant population, environmental persistence, processes analytical sensitivity methods. Further research needed identify key that impact biomarkers improve utility warning tool safeguarding human health. In this review, we shortly summarize aspects discuss challenges associated WBS.

Wastewater surveillance (WS), when coupled with advanced molecular techniques, offers near real-time monitoring of community-wide transmission SARS-CoV-2 and allows assessing mitigating COVID-19 outbreaks, by evaluating the total microbial assemblage in a community. Composite wastewater samples (24 h) were collected weekly from manhole between December 2020 November 2021 Maryland, USA. RT-qPCR results showed concentrations RNA recovered reflected incidence cases. When drastic increase was detected February 2021, selected for microbiome analysis (DNA metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, targeted sequencing). Targeted sequencing allowed detection important genetic mutations, such as spike: K417N, D614G, P681H, T716I, S982A, D1118H, commonly associated increased cell entry reinfection. Microbiome RNA) provided insight respect to human health-related factors, including pathogens their virulence/antibiotic resistance genes. Specific species comprising correlated RNA, suggesting potential association infection. Climatic conditions, namely, temperature, related wastewater, having been monitored part an environmental risk score assessment carried out this study. In summary, provides useful public health information, hence, valuable tool proactively detect characterize pathogenic agents circulating effect, metagenomics can serve early warning system communicable diseases, providing larger source information departments officials.

The emergence of new variants SARS-CoV-2 associated with varying infectivity, pathogenicity, diagnosis, and effectiveness against treatments challenged the overall management COVID-19 pandemic. Wastewater surveillance (WWS), i.e., monitoring infections in communities through detecting viruses wastewater, was applied to track spread globally. However, there is a lack comprehensive understanding use WWS for variants. Here we systematically reviewed published articles reporting different wastewater by following PRISMA guidelines provided current state art this study area. A total 80 studies were found that reported until November 2022. Most these (66 out 80, 82.5%) conducted Europe North America, resource-rich countries. There high variation sampling strategy around world, composite (50/66 studies, 76%) as primary method In contrast, grab more common (8/14 57%) resource-limited Among detection methods, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based sequencing quantitative RT-PCR commonly used wastewater. variants, B1.1.7 (Alpha) variant appeared earlier pandemic most (48/80 studies), followed B.1.617.2 (Delta), B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma), others All same pattern clinical within timeline, demonstrating tracked all timely way when emerged.

Tracking infectious diseases at the community level is challenging due to asymptomatic infections and logistical complexities of mass surveillance. Wastewater surveillance has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring disease agents including SARS-CoV-2 Mpox virus. However, detecting virus in wastewater particularly its relatively low prevalence community. In this study, we aim characterize three molecular assays tracking from El Paso, Texas, during February March 2023.

A focus on water quality has intensified globally, considering its critical role in sustaining life and ecosystems. Wastewater, reflecting societal development, profoundly impacts public health. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) emerged as a surveillance tool for detecting outbreaks early, monitoring infectious disease trends, providing real-time insights, particularly vulnerable communities. WBE aids tracking pathogens, including viruses, sewage, offering comprehensive understanding of community health lifestyle habits. With the rise global COVID-19 cases, gained prominence, aiding SARS-CoV-2 levels worldwide. Despite advancements treatment, poorly treated wastewater discharge remains threat, amplifying spread water-, sanitation-, hygiene (WaSH)-related diseases. WBE, serving complementary surveillance, is pivotal community-level viral infections. However, there untapped potential to expand surveillance. This review emphasizes importance link between health, highlighting need further integration into management.
