Retrospective Analysis of Wastewater-Based Epidemiology of SARS- CoV-2 in Residences on a Large College Campus: Relationships between Wastewater Outcomes and COVID-19 Cases across Two Semesters with Different COVID-19 Mitigation Policies

Andrew L. Rainey et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively assessed the relationship between wastewater outcomes and COVID-19 cases in a university campus. The odds of obtaining a positive wastewater sample increased with COVID-19 clinical cases, and there was a linear association between SARS-CoV-2 wastewater concentrations and COVID-19 clinical cases. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of wastewater-based epidemiology in the university setting, but its utility may be limited under different COVID-19 mitigation policies.

Structural and functional characterizations of infectivity and immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Zhen Cui et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly worldwide due to its increased fitness, with spike structures that maintain stability for receptor recognition but compromise viral fusion efficiency. By altering amino acids and structures, it evades recognition by most antibodies, facilitating immune escape. The research sheds light on conserved regions for the development of broad-spectrum vaccines.

Viral infection and transmission in a large, well-traced outbreak caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant

Baisheng Li et al.

Summary: This article reports the first local transmission of the Delta variant in mainland China. Compared to A/B lineage infections during the first wave in China in early 2020, Delta infections had viral loads that were on average about 1000 times greater when they first tested positive, suggesting potentially faster viral replication and greater infectiousness during early infection. The transmission bottleneck size of the Delta variant was generally narrow, with 1-3 virions in most donor-recipient transmission pairs. However, transmission of minor intra-host variants resulted in at least 3 of the 34 substitutions identified in the outbreak, highlighting the contribution of intra-host variants to population-level viral diversity during rapid spread.

SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Saudi Arabia implicate nucleocapsid mutations in host response and increased viral load

Tobias Mourier et al.

Summary: Monitoring the spread and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 through genome sequencing is crucial in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, the authors sequenced 892 SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected from patients in Saudi Arabia and identified two consecutive mutations in the nucleocapsid protein that were associated with higher viral loads in COVID-19 patients. Through biochemical analysis, they found that the mutant protein displayed enhanced viral RNA binding and differential interaction with key host proteins. The study also revealed dysregulated interferon response genes in host cells expressing the mutant protein. These findings provide important insights into the modulation of host-virus interactions and highlight the potential of the nucleocapsid protein as a target for drug development during infection.

Omicron: What Makes the Latest SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern So Concerning?

Christoph Jung et al.

Summary: The recently identified Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is the fifth variant of concern and is characterized by significant changes in the viral Spike protein, possibly leading to increased transmission efficiency and evasion of neutralizing antibodies. Despite quickly outcompeting the Delta variant, Omicron appears to be overall less pathogenic than other variants.

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.

Determinants of Spike infectivity, processing, and neutralization in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants BA.1 and BA.2

Chiara Pastorio et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has rapidly become the dominant strain in the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly due to its enhanced transmission and immune evasion capabilities resulting from multiple mutations in the Spike protein. Certain mutations impair infectivity, while others moderately enhance it. Moreover, most mutations in the Spike protein reduce its susceptibility to neutralization by sera from vaccinated individuals and therapeutic antibodies.

Long-term passive wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 for seven university dormitories in comparison to municipal surveillance

N. Jain et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based surveillance has proven to be an effective tool for monitoring the transmission of SARSCoV-2 in both small and large-scale communities. A study conducted at the University of Saskatchewan demonstrated the usefulness of this method in tracking the virus in university residences and the campus as a whole. The findings showed similarities in detection frequencies and viral loads between the wastewater samples collected from the residences and the samples taken from the wastewater treatment plant. Additionally, the self-reported rates of infection on campus aligned with the increases in viral load detected in the wastewater samples. These results highlight the cost-effectiveness and utility of wastewater-based surveillance in monitoring COVID-19 spread.

Building-Level Wastewater Surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 in Occupied University Dormitories as an Outbreak Forecasting Tool: One Year Case Study

Shireen M. Kotay et al.

Summary: This article demonstrates the value of building-level wastewater surveillance as an early warning system for informing the need for prevalence testing in congregated living settings like university dormitories. Daily coordination of wastewater and clinical testing helped identify unrecognized infected occupants. The trends in wastewater detection aligned with clinical positivity and epidemiology, but convalescent shedding hampered the predictive ability to detect new positive cases. Building-level wastewater monitoring paired with regular testing of individuals is an effective approach for mitigating outbreaks in congregate living settings.
