Passive sampling to scale wastewater surveillance of infectious disease: Lessons learned from COVID-19

Aaron Bivins et al.

Summary: Passive sampling is a promising technique for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been found to produce qualitative results superior to grab samples and useful for sub-sewershed surveillance of COVID-19. However, there is heterogeneity in the correlation between passive samplers and composite samples for SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations. Electronegative membranes show great promise as passive sampler materials. Further development of passive sampling methods should focus on optimizing sampler materials, kit-free extraction, and resource-efficient testing methods.

Development and Validation of a Simplified Method for Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in University Dormitories

William Strike et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool for describing SARS-CoV-2 prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, traditional wastewater analysis methods are limited by specialized equipment, expensive consumables, and complex workflows. A new method called exclusion-based sample preparation (ESP) has been developed, which simplifies the workflow and reduces time and consumable usage. A pilot study in university residence halls showed that ESP method is effective and useful for wastewater analysis.

Intraday variability of indicator and pathogenic viruses in 1-h and 24-h composite wastewater samples: Implications for wastewater-based epidemiology

Warish Ahmed et al.

Summary: The study found that 24-hour composite samples offer increased analytical sensitivity and decreased variability compared to 1-hour composite samples when monitoring wastewater, especially for pathogenic viruses with low infection rates within a community. This suggests that 24-hour composite samples are less likely to produce false negative results and erroneous public health information in wastewater-based epidemiology applications.

Evaluation of two rapid ultrafiltration-based methods for SARS-CoV-2 concentration from wastewater

E. Fores et al.

Summary: Quantitative measurements of SARS-CoV-2 in raw wastewater have been widely conducted since the pandemic, with efforts to evaluate different viral concentration methods to address supplier shortages. The study found significant differences in efficiency between two ultrafiltration-based methods for seeded viruses, while naturally occurring viruses showed no significant differences, suggesting the importance of testing both to evaluate concentration methods. The CP-Select (TM) method provided the highest concentration factor and proved to be fast, automatic, and suitable for working under BSL-2 measures.
