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

Eiji Haramoto, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2020 - 
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.

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

Artem Nemudryi, +8 more
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.

Sara Giordana Rimoldi, +15 more
- 20 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: Risks for public health should be limited, although a precautionary approach to risk assessment is here advocated, giving the preliminary nature of the presented data.

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

Samendra P. Sherchan, +7 more
- 15 Nov 2020 - 
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.

Comparison of virus concentration methods for the RT-qPCR-based recovery of murine hepatitis virus, a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2 from untreated wastewater.

Warish Ahmed, +16 more
- 15 Oct 2020 - 
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.

Large scale survey of enteric viruses in river and waste water underlines the health status of the local population

Benoit Prevost, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: The results implied the existence of a close relationship between the health status of inhabitants and the viral contamination of WWTP effluents and consequently surface water contamination and the regular analysis of wastewater could serve as a proxy for the monitoring of the human viruses circulating in both a population and surface water.

Comparative Analysis of Primer-Probe Sets for RT-qPCR of COVID-19 Causative Virus (SARS-CoV-2).

Yu-Jin Jung, +17 more
- 29 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: The results revealed that “NIID_2019-nCOV_N’ from the Japan NIID and “ORF1ab” from the China CDC represent a recommendable performance of RT-qPCR analysis for SARS- coV-2 molecular diagnostics without nonspecific amplification and cross-reactivity for hCoV-229E, hCov-OC43, and MERS-CoV RNA.
