SARS-CoV-2 wastewater surveillance data can predict hospitalizations and ICU admissions

Aikaterini Galani et al.

Summary: This study in Greece measured the SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in raw wastewater as an early indicator of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and ICU admissions, showing predictive leads of 5 to 9 days. Modeling techniques were used to establish relationships between RNA load in wastewater and pandemic health indicators, demonstrating the potential of combining clinical and environmental surveillance data to study and predict COVID-19 dynamics.

Tracking cryptic SARS-CoV-2 lineages detected in NYC wastewater

Davida S. Smyth et al.

Summary: Tracking the genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 is important to monitor the emergence of novel variants resistant to immunity. The researchers detected increasing frequencies of novel cryptic SARS-CoV-2 lineages in the New York City wastewater, containing mutations rarely observed in clinical samples. These lineages share mutations with the Omicron variant and have expanded tropism and resistance to neutralizing antibodies.

National Scale Real-Time Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 Variants Dynamics by Wastewater Monitoring in Israel

Itay Bar-Or et al.

Summary: This report describes a national-scale monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variant dynamics in Israel using wastewater sampling. The study found a complete shift in variant circulation, with B.1.1.7 replacing A19 between December 2020 and March 2021. The normalized viral load and new cases per week decreased in most test points in parallel with the national vaccination campaign.

Direct RT-qPCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (Alpha, B.1.1.7 and Beta, B.1.351) detection and quantification in wastewater

Karin Yaniv et al.

Summary: Less than a year after the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, variants of concern like Alpha (B.1.1.7, the British variant) and Beta (B.1.351, the South Africa variant) have emerged, prompting the development of improved primers-probe sets for rapid and cost-effective detection of these variants. These new primer-probe sets have been successfully utilized in wastewater samples to detect and quantify new variants before official medical testing reports, enabling better pandemic containment responses.

Aligning SARS-CoV-2 indicators via an epidemic model: application to hospital admissions and RNA detection in sewage sludge

Edward H. Kaplan et al.

Summary: Determining the state of coronavirus outbreaks is crucial for making public health decisions. Researchers have found that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in municipal sewage sludge, providing an earlier signal of infection than hospital admissions data. A model was developed to estimate the incidence of infection and the transmission dynamics translated into infection indicators, showing that 89% of the population may have been removed from the risk of infection with the remaining 11% exposed to an outbreak that infected 9.3% of the total population.
