Quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from wastewater solids in communities with low COVID-19 incidence and prevalence

Patrick M. D'Aoust et al.

Summary: In the absence of an effective COVID-19 vaccine, wastewater surveillance has emerged as a potential tool to track community infections. The study found that primary clarified sludge (PCS) samples are more suitable for quantifying SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA, while pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is considered a potentially useful biomarker for normalizing SARS-CoV-2 signal.

Early warning of COVID-19 via wastewater-based epidemiology: potential and bottlenecks

Yifan Zhu et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an important tool in the early warning system for COVID-19 pandemic, with the shedding dynamics of infected individuals and back-calculation of observed viral load being major bottlenecks. Optimal sampling strategy is crucial for the success of WBE projects.

Age groups that sustain resurging COVID-19 epidemics in the United States

Melodie Monod et al.

Summary: Research shows that in the United States, individuals aged 20 to 49 are the main source of COVID-19 transmission, playing a crucial role in the spread of the virus. Therefore, targeting interventions towards this age group is crucial in halting the resurgence of the epidemic and preventing COVID-19 deaths.

Surveillance of wastewater revealed peaks of SARS-CoV-2 preceding those of hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Fredy Saguti et al.

Summary: The study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in wastewater, and its levels reflect the extent of transmission in society. Viral peaks occurred approximately every four weeks, preceding fluctuations in newly hospitalized patients by 19-21 days. Local differences in viral spread were observed, with varying amounts of virus found in wastewater from different areas of the same city, possibly reflecting the transmission patterns of infected individuals.

Efficient detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the solid fraction of wastewater

Kouichi Kitamura et al.

Summary: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, efficient detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the solid fraction of wastewater was investigated using two quantitative PCR assays. Results showed higher concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the solid fractions compared to the supernatant fractions, demonstrating an effective method for surveillance in an aqueous environment.

A modeling study to inform screening and testing interventions for the control of SARS-CoV-2 on university campuses

Ben Lopman et al.

Summary: University administrators are facing challenges on how to safely bring students, staff, and faculty back to campus in the 2020-21 school year. A study conducted at Emory University developed a transmission model for SARS-CoV-2 among university members, showing that regular screening and testing can effectively reduce cumulative incidence and control virus introduction onto campus. This research provides valuable insights for planning and resource allocation in similar academic institutions.

Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage and wastewater treatment plants in Mexico

Julian Carrillo-Reyes et al.

Summary: This study monitored the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in sewage in Mexico and found that the adsorption method yielded RNA levels two orders of magnitude higher than ultrafiltration. The results suggest that viral RNA becomes concentrated in activated sludge and support the removal of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater treatment plants.

Summary: Passive samplers have shown the potential to detect SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater and demonstrate the ability for early detection of infections at various scales. Compared to traditional sampling methods, passive samplers showed higher sensitivity, with positive results when the SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater exceeded 1.8 gene copies per mL.

Higher Viral Load Drives Infrequent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Transmission Between Asymptomatic Residence Hall Roommates

Kristen K. Bjorkman et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from 6408 students and identified 116 likely transmission events in residence halls. It found that interroommate transmission occurred infrequently, with only about 20% of cases leading to transmission. Individuals who likely transmitted had higher viral loads compared to those who did not, indicating a correlation between viral load and transmission probability.

Within- and between-Day Variability of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Municipal Wastewater during Periods of Varying COVID-19 Prevalence and Positivity

Aaron Bivins et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance using grab samples every 2 hours over 24-hour periods revealed diurnal loading patterns of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, suggesting monitoring efforts should focus on daytime periods with high fecal loading. Manual compositing may introduce bias, and concentrations in wastewater demonstrated a correlation with clinical COVID-19 positivity rather than case numbers. Large variation within and between days may limit robust quantitative analyses.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the viral load dynamics, duration of viral shedding, and viable virus shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in various body fluids. The findings suggest that while SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding can be prolonged in respiratory and stool samples, the duration of viable virus shedding is relatively short-lived.
