Journal ArticleDOI
First confirmed detection of SARS-CoV-2 in untreated wastewater in Australia: A proof of concept for the wastewater surveillance of COVID-19 in the community.
Warish Ahmed,Nicola Angel,Janette Edson,Kyle Bibby,Aaron Bivins,Jake W. O'Brien,Phil M. Choi,Masaaki Kitajima,Stuart L. Simpson,Jiaying Li,Benjamin J. Tscharke,Rory Verhagen,Wendy Smith,Julian Zaugg,Leanne Dierens,Philip Hugenholtz,Kevin V. Thomas,Jochen F. Mueller +17 more
TL;DR: The quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater affords the ability to monitor the prevalence of infections among the population via wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) and highlights the viability of WBE for monitoring infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, in communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wastewater-based epidemiology biomarkers: Past, present and future
Phil M. Choi,Benjamin J. Tscharke,Erica Donner,Jake W. O'Brien,Sharon Grant,Sarit Kaserzon,Rachel Mackie,Elissa O'Malley,Nicholas D. Crosbie,Kevin V. Thomas,Jochen F. Mueller +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarises the established wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) biomarkers, and presents a critical review of the current capabilities of WBE, and discuss possible future strategies and challenges anticipated in analysing wastewater to measure chemical markers of population health as well as biological markers of microbial exposure and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the largest catalogue to date of optical counterparts for H I radio-selected galaxies, HOPCAT, for the Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The current knowledge related to the most relevant biomarkers used so far in urban wastewater and information, when available, on stability in urine and wastewater and pharmacokinetic data has been reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS-CoV-2 RNA monitoring in wastewater as a potential early warning system for COVID-19 transmission in the community: A temporal case study.
Warish Ahmed,Benjamin J. Tscharke,Paul M. Bertsch,Kyle Bibby,Aaron Bivins,Phil M. Choi,Leah Clarke,Jason Dwyer,Janette Edson,Thi Minh Hong Nguyen,Jake W. O'Brien,Stuart L. Simpson,Paul J. Sherman,Kevin V. Thomas,Rory Verhagen,Julian Zaugg,Jochen F. Mueller +16 more
TL;DR: The positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in wastewater while there were limited clinical reported cases demonstrates the potential of WBE as an early warning system.
