Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater during New York City's second wave of COVID-19: sewershed-level trends and relationships to publicly available clinical testing data

Catherine Hoar et al.

Summary: New York City's wastewater monitoring program tracked the viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 in sewershed-level and found a significant positive correlation between viral loads in wastewater and new COVID-19 cases. This study provides insights for future wastewater-based epidemiology efforts.

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.

COVID-19 testing, case, and death rates and spatial socio-demographics in New York City: An ecological analysis as of June 2020

Byoungjun Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that different neighborhood characteristics were independently associated with COVID-19 testing, case, and death rates in New York City. For example, the proportions of Blacks and Hispanics were positively associated with case rates, while neighborhoods with low-density housing experienced higher case rates. Population changes during the pandemic may bias estimates of COVID-19 rates.

Exposure density and neighborhood disparities in COVID-19 infection risk

Boyeong Hong et al.

Summary: This study quantified neighborhood activity behaviors and found that variations in exposure density have a direct and measurable impact on infection risk. The research revealed distinct behavioral patterns across neighborhoods in New York City after the implementation of stay-at-home orders, with a 10% reduction in exposure density potentially saving lives, particularly in lower-income and minority communities.

Spatiotemporal Patterns of Human Mobility and Its Association with Land Use Types during COVID-19 in New York City

Yuqin Jiang et al.

Summary: This study utilized geotagged tweets data and open data from New York City to analyze human mobility patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that open-access social media data can generate similar results to private data. This has important implications for further human mobility analysis and the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Uncertainties in estimating SARS-CoV-2 prevalence by wastewater-based epidemiology

Xuan Li et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a promising approach for estimating COVID-19 prevalence by detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater, but methodological challenges could impact accuracy. Dividing WBE into five steps, this study quantified uncertainties at each step and found that using high-frequency flow-proportional sampling and actual water usage data reduced overall uncertainties to 20-40%, with analytical uncertainty being the dominant factor. Using surrogate viruses and improving analytical approaches could enhance reliability of WBE for monitoring COVID-19 prevalence.

Targeted wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 on a university campus for COVID-19 outbreak detection and mitigation

Laura C. Scott et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of targeted wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in a university campus during Fall 2020 semester, and found that the temporal trends of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples mirrored trends in detected COVID-19 cases on campus. Normalizing SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations using a human fecal indicator, PMMV, enhanced the correlation between N1 and N2 gene abundances in wastewater with COVID-19 cases.

Dynamic coupling between the COVID-19 epidemic timeline and the behavioral response to PAUSE in New York State counties

Anca Radulescu et al.

Summary: Behavioral epidemiology studies the relationship between epidemic outbreaks and social responses. A study on COVID-19 in New York found that social responses may affect epidemic timelines at the county level and that PAUSE measures were crucial in controlling the first wave of the epidemic in the state.

SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance for Public Health Action

Jill S. McClary-Gutierrez et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 has shown potential in complementing existing disease surveillance systems by correlating viral RNA concentrations in untreated sewage with reported case trends. Bridging the communication and knowledge gaps between researchers and public health responders is crucial for translating these measurements into useful public health tools. Addressing these barriers may pave the way for making this emerging public health tool a sustainable nationwide surveillance system.

Tools for interpretation of wastewater SARS-CoV-2 temporal and spatial trends demonstrated with data collected in the San Francisco Bay Area

Hannah D. Greenwald et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance can be used to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA, with reliable detection when daily new COVID-19 cases exceed 2.4 per 100,000 people. Evaluation of normalization biomarkers found crAssphage to have the least spatial and temporal variability. Trends in wastewater surveillance data reflect trends in COVID-19 disease occurrence.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 can help assess infection burden, but measurement variability and its relationship to case data need to be considered. Research showed that a minimum of two samples collected per week were needed to maintain accuracy in trend analysis.

Co-quantification of crAssphage increases confidence in wastewater-based epidemiology for SARS-CoV-2 in low prevalence areas

Maxwell L. Wilder et al.

Summary: This study presents an ultracentrifugation-based method for concentrating SARS-CoV-2 wastewater RNA and uses crAssphage to help account for RNA loss. Using this method, SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected within as little as 4.5 hours, with stronger signals potentially indicative of greater COVID-19 incidence. Additionally, lower DNA concentrations of crAssphage were observed during periods of high flow.

Brian M. Pecson et al.

Summary: In response to COVID-19, the international water community developed methods to quantify the SARS-CoV-2 genetic signal in untreated wastewater. An interlaboratory assessment evaluated the reproducibility and sensitivity of 36 standard operating procedures (SOPs), showing that a variety of methods are capable of producing reproducible results and emphasizing the importance of selecting the same SOP or laboratory to track SARS-CoV-2 trends.
