CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the utility of wastewater surveillance as an early warning tool in low COVID-19 transmission settings.

Wastewater surveillance has been used to assist public health authorities in tracking local transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The usefulness of wastewater surveillance to track community spread of other respiratory pathogens, including influenza virus and

Wastewater surveillance was a useful tool to elucidate the burden and spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic. Public health officials and researchers are interested in expanding these surveillance programs to include bacterial targets, but many

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately affected seniors living in congregate living settings. The evolving surveillance context has led to novel use of wastewater surveillance to monitor levels of severe acute

CONCLUSIONS: The LTCF wastewater surveillance system demonstrated mixed performance per CDC criteria. Stakeholders found surveillance feasible and expressed optimism regarding its potential while also recognizing challenges in interpreting and acting

AbstractWastewater-based surveillance is a valuable approach for monitoring COVID-19 at community-level. Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) in wastewater has become increasingly relevant when clinical testing capacity and case-based

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the value of wastewater surveillance in providing unbiased assessments of incidence/prevalence for infectious disease targets, ultimately leading to the development of local, state, and national programs across the

This study tracked five pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in Mexico City's sewage, namely, famotidine, indomethacin, dexamethasone, azithromycin, and ivermectin, which were used to treat COVID-19. The monitoring campaign was carried out over

SARS-CoV-2 surveillance of viral populations in wastewater samples is recognized as a useful tool for monitoring epidemic waves and boosting health preparedness. Next generation sequencing of viral RNA isolated from wastewater is a convenient and

CONCLUSION: Wastewater testing is an effective tool for measuring the presence and patterns of SARS-CoV-2 infections among military populations. Success with wastewater testing for SARS-CoV-2 infections suggests that other diseases may be assessed
