Challenges in Measuring the Recovery of SARS-CoV-2 from Wastewater

Rose S. Kantor et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology is a useful tool for tracking SARS-CoV-2 spread, but recovery and quantification are influenced by various factors, complicating data interpretation. Despite the importance of measuring recovery of a proxy virus, it does not fully account for losses during the RNA extraction process. Reporting directly measured concentration data alongside recovery efficiency is recommended for a more reliable public health response.

Evaluation of viral concentration methods for SARS-CoV-2 recovery from wastewaters

Patricia Angelica Barril et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology is a valuable tool for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in communities and early detection of COVID-19 outbreaks. This study evaluated 11 different virus concentration techniques in wastewater and found that methods involving PEG precipitation and PAC flocculation showed high efficiency for virus recovery. Further testing showed that PAC flocculation had a lower limit of detection for SARS-CoV-2 compared to PEG precipitation.

Application of Capsid Integrity (RT-)qPCR to Assessing Occurrence of Intact Viruses in Surface Water and Tap Water in Japan

Vu Duc Canh et al.

Summary: The study applied a new method (SD-CDDP-(RT-)qPCR) to detect viruses in surface water and tap water in the Kanto region of Japan. The results showed that PMMoV was more frequently detected in surface water, while most target viruses were not detected in tap water. SD-CDDP-(RT-)qPCR revealed a higher proportion of intact PMMoV and a lower proportion of intact human pathogenic viruses.

Maxwell L. Wilder et al.

Summary: This study presents an ultracentrifugation-based method for concentrating SARS-CoV-2 wastewater RNA and uses crAssphage to help account for RNA loss. Using this method, SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected within as little as 4.5 hours, with stronger signals potentially indicative of greater COVID-19 incidence. Additionally, lower DNA concentrations of crAssphage were observed during periods of high flow.

Daniel Gerrity et al.

Summary: The study aimed to compare virus recovery and detection methods, detect and quantify SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in two sewersheds in Southern Nevada, and understand the link between COVID-19 incidence/prevalence and wastewater concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Different methods and target water matrices led to varying virus recovery rates and sample volumes, impacting sensitivity and reported concentrations. Composite sampling showed a significant increase in concentration compared to grab samples, indicating diurnal variability in SARS-CoV-2 signal. Detection and quantification of genetic markers in sewage showed comparability with public health data in early pandemic stages.
