An opinion on Wastewater-Based Epidemiological Monitoring (WBEM) with Clinical Diagnostic Test (CDT) for detecting high-prevalence areas of community COVID-19 infections

Md. Aminul Islam et al.

Summary: Wastewater-Based Epidemiological Monitoring (WBEM) is a highly efficient surveillance tool during the COVID-19 pandemic. It can be used to track the disease's prevalence, genetic diversity, and emerging variants. However, it is complemented by Clinical Diagnostic Tests (CDTs) which are considered the global gold standard for disease monitoring but have limitations in tracking asymptomatic patients. This study proposes a combined approach using both wastewater and clinical samples for detecting COVID-19 infection in communities, which can be a feasible and effective long-term nationwide surveillance system.

Bacillus spp. Contamination: A Novel Risk Originated From Animal Feed to Human Food Chains in South-Eastern Bangladesh

Md Atiqul Haque et al.

Summary: This study provides information on the contamination of Bacillus spp. in commercially available poultry and animal feeds, as well as animal-derived products in Bangladesh. The research findings indicate a high prevalence of Bacillus spp. contamination in these samples, with a significant number of isolates carrying virulence genes that pose a threat to human health. The study highlights the urgent need for establishing maximum tolerance limits and addressing the potential risks of Bacillus spp. in the animal industry.

Detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater influent in relation to reported COVID-19 incidence in Finland

Ananda Tiwari et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based surveillance is a cost-effective method for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic at a population level. This study in Finland monitored SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater samples from multiple treatment plants over a 10-month period. The detection rate of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater was 79%, and the surveillance proved to be a reliable indicator for COVID-19 incidence, independent of clinical testing strategies or individual testing willingness.

Impacts of different operational temperatures and organic loads in anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludge on the fate of SARS-CoV-2

Mohammad Javad Bardi et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of different operational temperatures and organic loads on the fate of SARS-CoV-2 during the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludge. Results showed that higher organic loads led to system instability, while increasing operational temperature promoted more biogas production due to enhanced metabolic activity of bacteria.

Computational screening of 645 antiviral peptides against the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2

Md Minhas Hossain Sakib et al.

Summary: The study found that peptides may be effective drugs against SARS-CoV-2, with AVP1795 identified as the most promising candidate that could inhibit the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 by hACE2 as predicted by molecular dynamics simulation. Peptide-protein interactions were substantially influenced by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.
