Applications of Wastewater-Based Surveillance Within Rural and Unsewered Communities
Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) presents the opportunity to describe disease and health trends within human populations both more broadly and at a lower cost than clinical reporting. However, rural communities and 'unsewered' households, the latter of which typically treat household wastewater …

Wastewater-based Surveillance for Hepatitis A and C in an Inflow- and Infiltration-Impacted Rural System
Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) refers to the systematic sampling and testing of wastewater to analyze different targets, such as pathogens, for the benefit of public health. The use of WBS can be complementary to clinical data to analyze and track pathogens within a community, and it also has …

Wastewater-Based Genomic Epidemiology
… waves of infection and reinfection. Genomic surveillance has become a cornerstone of pathogen monitoring, but clinical sequencing remains expensive, logistically demanding and biased by non-random testing. Wastewater–based epidemiology (WBE), whose origins trace back almost a century, has …

Studies on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type -2 in Northern South Africa
… COVID-19 pandemic progressed across the globe, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) was proposed as an alternative tool for assessing and monitoring the occurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at the community level. Additionally, through wastewater-based …

Bioinformatic Analysis of Wastewater Metagenomes Reveals Microbial Ecological and Evolutionary Phenomena Underlying Associations of Antibiotic Resistance with Antibiotic Use
… usage is addressed from the perspective of wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and microbial ecology. Antibiotic usage and contamination was found to influence the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and resistant bacteria in both …

Shotgun metagenomic analysis of antimicrobial resistance in wastewater
… where deadly infections are no longer treatable. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are vital components in water sanitation infrastructure and are now also being recognized as valuable monitoring points for antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) …

Evaluation of the use of Wastewater Based Epidemiology as a Surveillance Tool and the Potential effects of Vaccines and Students Beliefs and Practices in Mitigating the Spread of COVID-19 Among Students at East Carolina University
… underscored the need for disease monitoring and surveillance to mitigate spread. SARS-CoV-2 causes fever, dry cough, shortness of breath and in some instances loss of taste and smell. However, some persons, particularly those with pre-existing conditions, may experience severe symptoms of high …

Advancing Rural Public Health: From Drinking Water Quality and Health Outcome Meta-analyses to Wastewater-based Pathogen Monitoring
… is important to note that such disparities vary based on specific rural regions and individual circumstances. Rural areas may face elevated risk factors for infectious diseases such as increased proximity to wildlife and livestock and disproportionately high reliance on private, non-federally …
