Areas of dense population congregation are prone to experience respiratory virus outbreaks. We monitored wastewater and clinic patients for the presence viruses on a large, public university campus. Campus sewer systems were in 16 locations using next generation sequencing over 22 weeks 2023. During this period, we detected surge human adenovirus (HAdV) levels wastewater. Hence, initiated clinical surveillance at an on-campus from presenting with acute infection. From whole genome 123 throat and/or nasal swabs collected, identified outbreak HAdV, specifically HAdV-E4 HAdV-B7 genotypes overlapping time. The temporal dynamics proportions HAdV found corroborated infections. tracked specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) sequences showed that they arose signals concordant time presentation, linking community transmission outbreak. This study demonstrates how wastewater-based epidemiology can be integrated ambulatory healthcare settings monitor areas outbreaks provide health guidance.

Abstract Wastewater-based epidemiology has been used in pathogen surveillance for microorganisms at the community level. This study was conducted to determine occurrence and trends of infectious pathogens sewage from Yongin city relationships between these incidence diseases community. From December 2022 November 2023, we collected inflow water six wastewater treatment plants twice a month. The analyzed included 15 respiratory viruses, 7 pneumonia-causing bacteria, 19 acute diarrhea-causing pathogens, SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, hepatitis A poliovirus, Mpox, measles. They were detected through real-time PCR conventional PCR. concentrations 9 among them additionally using quantitative real time correlation confirmed statistical analysis with rate detection reported by Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency. Influenza human adenovirus, rhinovirus moderately correlated (rho values 0.45 0.58). Campylobacter spp. sapovirus strong 0.62, 0.63). Enteropathogenic E. coli , coronavirus, norovirus GII very 0.86 0.92). We able identify prevalence viral infections, pneumonia, wastewater-based data. will be helpful establishing system future present sewage.

ABSTRACT The emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 significantly enhanced the application wastewater monitoring for detecting SARS-CoV-2 circulation within communities. From October 2021 to 2022, we collected 406 samples weekly from Córdoba Central Pipeline Network (BG-WWTP) and six specific sewer manholes sanitary zones (SZs). Following WHO guidelines, processed detected RNA variants using real-time PCR. Monitoring at SZ level allowed development a viral activity flow map, pinpointing key areas tracking its temporal spread variant evolution. Our findings demonstrate that wastewater-based surveillance acts as sensitive indicator activity, imminent increases cases before they become evident clinical data. This study highlights effectiveness targeted both municipal levels identifying hotspots assessing community-wide circulation. Importantly, data shows environmental studies provide valuable insights into virus presence, independent case records, offer robust tool adapting future public health challenges.
