#Wastewater #Surveillance for #SARS-CoV-2 in Rural #Kentucky, 2021–2023

  Abstract Wastewater testing for SARS-CoV-2 provided useful public health information during the COVID-19 pandemic yet was underutilized in rural communities . We addressed this gap by implementing wastewater surveillance and assessing its performance in 10 communities in Eastern Kentucky . We collected wastewater samples 1–2 times weekly at 10 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) from May 2021 until April 2023 and measured SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations using polymerase chain reaction testing . We calculated time-lagged correlations between wastewater concentrations and county-level reported COVID-19 cases by site. We developed a generalized linear model to estimate COVID-19 incidence from wastewater SARS-CoV-2 concentrations. The 10 participating WWTPs served 2430 to 35,575 customers , and 90% were in rural counties. We cumulatively analyzed 818 wastewater samples . Correlations between wastewater SARS-CoV-2 concentrations and COVID-19 cases were significant at seven of the WWTPs ...

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...
