TL;DR: The results suggest that absorption-extraction methods with minimal pretreatment or without manipulation can provide suitably rapid, cost-effective and relatively straightforward recovery of enveloped viruses in wastewater.

Journal ArticleDOI
Shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in feces and urine and its potential role in person-to-person transmission and the environment-based spread of COVID-19.
David L. Jones,David L. Jones,Marcos Quintela Baluja,David W. Graham,Alexander Corbishley,James E. McDonald,Shelagh K. Malham,Luke S. Hillary,Thomas R. Connor,William H. Gaze,Ines B Moura,Mark H. Wilcox,Kata Farkas +12 more
TL;DR: The likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 being transmitted via feces or urine appears much lower due to the lower relative amounts of virus present in feces/urine, and the biggest risk of transmission will occur in clinical and care home settings where secondary handling of people and urine/fecal matter occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ancient Evolutionary History of Polyomaviruses.
Christopher B. Buck,Koenraad Van Doorslaer,Alberto Peretti,Eileen M. Geoghegan,Michael J. Tisza,Ping An,Joshua P. Katz,James M. Pipas,Alison A. McBride,Alvin C. Camus,Alexa J. McDermott,Jennifer A.

TL;DR: Analyses drawing upon the divergent new sequences indicate that polyomaviruses have been gradually co-evolving with their animal hosts for at least half a billion years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wastewater and public health: the potential of wastewater surveillance for monitoring COVID-19
Kata Farkas,Luke S. Hillary,Shelagh K. Malham,James E. McDonald,David L. Jones,David L. Jones +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how monitoring wastewater from urban areas can be used to detect the arrival and subsequent decline of pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2.
