Correlation between SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentration in wastewater and COVID-19 cases in community: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Xuan Li et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a promising approach for monitoring COVID-19, but the correlation between CRNA and clinically confirmed cases varies and the impacts of environmental and other factors are unclear. This study analyzed the correlation between CRNA and different types of clinically confirmed case numbers. It found a stronger correlation between CRNA and new cases, influenced by environmental and epidemiological conditions as well as sampling design.

Future implications of COVID-19 through Mathematical modeling

Muhammad Zamir et al.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is a global respiratory illness. A mathematical model is used to discuss the disease's disease-free state and endemic equilibrium, and control strategies are designed. However, the disease cannot be eradicated, and numerical simulations validate the research conclusion.

Early warning of a COVID-19 surge on a university campus based on wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 at residence halls

Yuke Wang et al.

Summary: As COVID-19 continues to spread globally, wastewater-based surveillance can provide early warning of outbreaks at institutions. However, weekly wastewater monitoring may not be sensitive enough to detect sporadic cases in residence buildings, although there is a correlation between the Ct values of wastewater samples and the number of COVID-19 patients.

Coupling freedom from disease principles and early warning from wastewater surveillance to improve health security

David A. Larsen et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance is a rapid method to estimate population-level disease transmission and predict the probability of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a community. A study in upstate New York found that the intensity of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater correlated with COVID-19 incidence and test positivity, and when SARS-CoV-2 was not detected in wastewater, there were fewer reported COVID-19 cases.

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.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater in Japan during a COVID-19 outbreak

Akihiko Hata et al.

Summary: The study in Japan found that SARS-CoV-2 RNA could be detected in wastewater samples, even at low numbers of confirmed cases, indicating the potential for early detection of impending outbreaks. This suggests that wastewater-based epidemiology may serve as an early warning system for COVID-19 outbreaks.

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.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a promising approach for monitoring the spread of COVID-19, with the concentration of virus in faeces and its temporal variations being crucial information. Results show that temporal variations in virus concentration in faeces affect monitoring systems like WBE, emphasizing the need for adjusting estimates of virus concentration.

Wastewater monitoring outperforms case numbers as a tool to track COVID-19 incidence dynamics when test positivity rates are high

Xavier Fernandez-Cassi et al.

Summary: The study found that wastewater monitoring can more accurately track the timing and shape of COVID-19 infection peaks, while confirmed cases provide a better estimate of the subsequent decline in infections. Under conditions of high test positivity rates, wastewater-based epidemiology provides critical information that complements clinical data in monitoring the pandemic trajectory.

Making waves: Plausible lead time for wastewater based epidemiology as an early warning system for COVID-19

Kyle Bibby et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a valuable tool for tracking and containing COVID-19 spread, with potential for early warning, but delays in analysis and reporting should be considered for a full assessment of its potential. Analysis suggests a potential lead time of four days for WBE in community-level wastewater surveillance, increasing in settings with limited clinical testing capacity.

Early-pandemic wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Southern Nevada: Methodology, occurrence, and incidence/prevalence considerations

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.
