Detection of a SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern in South Africa

Houriiyah Tegally et al.

Summary: The article describes a newly emerged lineage of SARS-CoV-2, 501Y.V2, characterized by eight mutations in the spike protein, which may result in increased transmissibility or immune escape. This lineage originated in South Africa and quickly became dominant in Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and KwaZuluNatal provinces within weeks.

Potential intestinal infection and faecal-oral transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Meng Guo et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2, in addition to respiratory transmission, can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms, with detectable RNA in fecal samples of some patients. Infection alters intestinal microbiota, correlated with inflammatory factors. Multiple studies provide evidence of intestinal infection and potential for fecal-oral transmission.

SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding characteristics and potential evidence for the priority for faecal specimen testing in diagnosis

Chen Yuan et al.

Summary: This study found that fecal samples have higher positivity and more stable detection capability in COVID-19 testing, especially for identifying asymptomatic carriers. Testing of fecal specimens in diagnosis is recommended, and testing respiratory tract specimens at the early-to-mid stage is better than testing at the mid-to-late stage of the disease course.

Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater as an epidemiological surveillance tool in Mendoza, Argentina

Maximiliano Giraud-Billoud et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an emerging tool that provides temporal and spatial information on a population's health status. By combining WBE with epidemiological surveillance, researchers were able to track the dynamics of COVID-19 infections, showing a positive correlation between viral load in wastewater and diagnosed cases. WBE proves to be a useful epidemiological indicator for anticipating COVID-19 case increases and monitoring the pandemic's progress and different waves of infections.

Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2: Lessons learnt from recent studies to define future applications

Mohamed Hamouda et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology has been successful in detecting the spread of SARS-CoV-2, especially in situations where clinical testing is limited and infected individuals may not show symptoms for a long period. The use of wastewater surveillance has shown the impact of lockdown measures on virus spread, leading to the development of a specialized framework for monitoring SARS-CoV-2. Despite challenges, future research should consider various factors such as safety, efficacy, and standardized protocols for large-scale international studies.

A novel wastewater-based epidemiology indexing method predicts SARS-CoV-2 disease prevalence across treatment facilities in metropolitan and regional populations

Richard G. Melvin et al.

Summary: The study developed a new wastewater based epidemiological method, Melvin's Index, which can be applied in various sizes of wastewater treatment facilities and large regions. The results indicated that increases in wastewater SARS-CoV-2 levels can be detected several days before new clinical cases emerge.

The total number and mass of SARS-CoV-2 virions

Ron Sender et al.

Summary: Each infected person carries 10^9 to 10^11 SARS-CoV-2 virions during peak infection, with a total mass in the range of 1-100 micrograms. The study shows that antibodies in infected hosts significantly outnumber spike proteins, and the genetic diversity of virions covers all possible single nucleotide substitutions.

COVID-19-associated diarrhea

Klara Megyeri et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 can cause diarrhea by damaging intestinal epithelial cells, altering the gut microbiota, and triggering a cytokine storm. These effects increase intestinal permeability in infected individuals, exacerbating symptoms and worsening prognosis. Therapeutic options for COVID-19 patients include the use of biologics and biotherapeutic agents.

Rapid Increase of SARS-CoV-2 Variant B.1.1.7 Detected in Sewage Samples from England between October 2020 and January 2021

Thomas Wilton et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of environmental surveillance in early detection of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and provides insights into the potential impact of these variants on human immune response and vaccine efficacy. The detection and rapid spread of variant B.1.1.7 in sewage samples from London serves as an early warning system for monitoring variant prevalence in the population. Additionally, this method can also detect other variants of concern carrying critical spike mutations, such as B.1.351 and P.1.
