First environmental surveillance for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater and river water in Japan.

TL;DR: Comparison with the reported COVID-19 cases in Yamanashi Prefecture showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in the secondary-treated wastewater sample when the cases peaked in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal Detection and Phylogenetic Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 in Municipal Wastewater.

TL;DR: It is shown that changes in SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations follow symptom onset gathered by retrospective interview of patients but precedes clinical test results, and how genome sequencing can be used for genotyping viral strains circulating in a community.
Journal ArticleDOI

First detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater in North America: A study in Louisiana, USA.

TL;DR: To the knowledge, this is the first study reporting the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater in North America, including the USA, however, concentration methods and RT-qPCR assays need to be refined and validated to increase the sensitivity of Sars- CoV- 2 RNA detection in wastewater.

Inactivation of an Enveloped Surrogate Virus in Human Sewage

TL;DR: It is suggested that enveloped viruses can undergo 6–7 log inactivation in sewage in 3–7 days, depending on temperature, and longer holding times may be desirable out of an abundance of caution at lower temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison and evaluation of conventional RT-PCR, SYBR green I and TaqMan real-time RT-PCR assays for the detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

TL;DR: With the features of high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility, the TaqMan real-time RT-PCR established in this study could be a useful tool for clinical diagnosis, epidemiological surveys and outbreak investigations of PED.

ddPCR: a more sensitive and accurate tool for SARS-CoV-2 detection in low viral load specimens

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimized droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was used for detection of SARS-CoV-2, which showed that the limit of detection of ddPCR is significantly lower than that of RT-PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Hepatitis E Virus in Sewage After an Outbreak on a French Island.

TL;DR: Investigating the routes of transmission of HEV, including the potential for sewage effluent to contain infectious HeV, may help to better understand the epidemiology of this pathogen, which is considered to be an emerging concern in Europe.
