A #Market-Based #Sentinel #Surveillance for an Early #Detection of Viral #Outbreaks

  Abstract Mexico has experienced recurrent viral epidemics of substantial intensity, including hyperendemic dengue, COVID-19, and recent reports of avian influenza A (H5N1) infections in birds , which pose an ongoing risk of zoonotic transmission . Mexico was also the location for the earliest detection of the pdmH1N1 virus during the 2009 influenza A pandemic. Under a One Health framework , markets represent a unique opportunity for low-cost virus monitoring at the human-animal interface . Under the hypothesis that these represent sentinel sites for an early virus detection , we implemented a pilot surveillance program at the central market of Merida city, Yucatan , Mexico, considered a regional hotspot for multiple and recent viral outbreaks . Longitudinal sampling was carried out over 11 months at 1-to-6-week intervals from April 2022 to February 2023 . We used multi-type surveillance in mosquitoes, live poultry, and wastewater . All samples were screened using RT-qPCR . Positi...

Citywide indoor #air #sampling mirrors #wastewater and clinical case #surveillance of respiratory viruses

  Abstract Wastewater surveillance of respiratory pathogens can provide timely estimates of viral activity and disease trends in a population . Indoor air surveillance could be used similarly with some advantages but remains largely unvalidated at the community-scale. Here, an indoor air surveillance program was employed as part of public health environmental surveillance in Chicago, Illinois , USA. Ten air samplers were placed in healthcare and congregate living settings across the city. Weekly air samples were evaluated for influenza A, influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus, and SARS-CoV- 2 over two respiratory virus seasons. Citywide, aggregated air sample positivity and viral load were closely correlated with local clinical case and wastewater surveillance data across all respiratory viruses. Virus trends in air data often preceded clinical and wastewater, although this varied across pathogens and respiratory virus seasons. Further, whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 show...

Developing and #Benchmarking #OneHealth #Genomic #Surveillance Tools for Influenza A Virus in #Wastewater

  Abstract Influenza A viruses (IAV) remain a persistent One Health threat, and whole-genome sequencing from wastewater offers a promising surveillance tool . However, IAV is at low abundance in wastewater , making it difficult to sequence. We benchmarked four targeted enrichment methods suited for whole-genome sequencing including custom and off-the-shelf amplicon and probe-based methods. Our custom HA tiled-amplicon panel was sensitive, fast, and cost-effective, making it suitable for monitoring low-abundance seasonal variants of known subtypes . However, its reliance on conserved and intact primer-binding sites limited primer design to fewer subtypes. A previously published universal amplicon method targeted all IAV subtypes , but it performed poorly in wastewater due to its reliance on intact genome segments. Probe-capture methods were resilient to RNA degradation and mismatches , potentially enabling broader surveillance and detection of emerging strains. However, probes were ...
