Article Synopsis
- Noroviruses (NoVs) are a major cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis, costing society over $60 billion annually.
- A new nanopore-based method was developed to improve existing norovirus typing by analyzing specific RNA regions from a single RNA fragment, which aids in wastewater studies and outbreak tracking.
- The method showed high accuracy and sensitivity, detecting a wide range of norovirus genotypes in wastewater, including several not previously reported in clinical samples, enhancing our understanding of norovirus diversity.

Article Synopsis
- Seasonal influenza poses a public health challenge with socioeconomic impacts, and wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a promising method for monitoring its spread and enhancing public health strategies.
- In a study conducted in Italy, wastewater samples were analyzed to detect influenza virus RNA, revealing a strong correlation between viral RNA loads and influenza-like illness cases reported in the community.
- The findings suggest that while WBE is not a substitute for traditional methods, it can significantly enhance the understanding of influenza dynamics and incidence trends.

Objective: The worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic has been driven by international travel. This has led to the desire to develop surveillance approaches which can estimate the rate of import of pathogenic organisms across international borders. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of wastewater-based approaches for the surveillance of viral pathogens on commercial short-haul (3.
