Article Synopsis
- Wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) is an effective and efficient method to monitor population health regarding COVID-19, allowing for early detection and management of the virus through wastewater surveillance.
- A study tracked SARS-CoV-2 genetic markers in wastewater from a household with COVID-19 patients over 30 days, utilizing RT-qPCR techniques, revealing a direct correlation between viral shedding in wastewater and the number of clinical cases.
- The research concluded that wastewater samples provided advanced signaling of increased viral loads compared to clinical samples, confirming the presence of Delta variants in both wastewater and clinical specimens.
