ClearWastewater-Based Epidemiology as an Early Warning System for the Spreading of SARS-CoV-2 and Its Mutations in the Population
Researchers demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in wastewater before clinical case counts rise, establishing wastewater-based epidemiology as an early warning system, and showed that sequencing wastewater samples can track the emergence and spread of new viral variants.
Wastewater-based epidemiology for early detection of viral outbreaks: Global evidence and insights from the Philippines
Researchers synthesized global and Philippines-specific evidence on wastewater-based epidemiology, finding that while pilots demonstrate feasibility for SARS-CoV-2 and antimicrobial resistance surveillance, scale-up in low-income settings is constrained by fragmented sanitation networks, detection sensitivity limitations, and governance gaps requiring multi-pathogen platforms and regional laboratory investment.
Viral Eco-Genomic Tools: Development and Implementation for Aquatic Biomonitoring
This review provides a comprehensive overview of eco-genomic tools for detecting enteric viruses in aquatic environments, covering conventional and next-generation sequencing approaches. The authors recommend integrating multiple detection platforms and conducting year-round sampling to accurately assess waterborne virus burdens.
Viral Metagenomics as a Tool to Track Sources of Fecal Contamination: A One Health Approach
This review evaluates viral metagenomics as a tool for tracking sources of fecal contamination across water, food, soil, and air within a One Health framework. Researchers found that viral metagenomics can complement traditional culture and PCR-based methods by identifying a broader range of viral indicators with narrow host ranges. The study discusses both the promise and current limitations of this approach, including challenges in sample processing and bioinformatics analysis.
Аналіз досвіду застосування біологічних систем для раннього запобігання забрудненню вод
This review analyzed international experience with biological early-warning systems for water pollution monitoring, evaluating how aquatic organisms are used as sentinel species to detect contamination from industrial, agricultural, and domestic sources before it reaches critical levels.
Fate of COVID-19 Occurrences in Wastewater Systems: Emerging Detection and Treatment Technologies—A Review
This review examined the fate of COVID-19 virus in wastewater systems and evaluated emerging detection and treatment approaches. It identified wastewater surveillance as a valuable tool for monitoring community infection levels and assessed treatment technologies for inactivating coronaviruses, including the potential for co-treatment with microplastic particles that can harbor and transport pathogens.
Have genetic targets for faecal pollution diagnostics and source tracking revolutionized water quality analysis yet?
This analysis of over 1,100 publications establishes genetic faecal pollution diagnostics as a distinct scientific discipline that has transformed water quality analysis over the past 30 years. PCR and sequencing methods have enabled precise identification of faecal contamination sources in water, a major advance over traditional culture-based methods.
Identification of biomarkers in wastewater-based epidemiology: Main approaches and analytical methods
This review covers biomarker identification in wastewater-based epidemiology, examining how emerging contaminants including microplastics and pharmaceuticals in wastewater can serve as population-level indicators of disease, health behaviors, and chemical exposures in cities.
Review of Methods for Studying Viruses in the Environment and Organisms
This review systematically summarizes methods for extracting and detecting viruses from environmental samples including soil, water, faeces, and air, as well as biological samples from plants and animals, comparing the applicability, advantages, and limitations of each approach for virus ecology research.
Scientific Trends in Animal Waste and Environmental Sustainability: A Bibliometric Study
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 33,887 academic studies on the environmental effects of animal waste to reveal trends in publication distribution, research collaborations, and emerging topics. The study mapped the global landscape of animal waste and environmental sustainability research, identifying leading countries, journals, and keyword clusters that reflect the field's evolution toward circular economy and pollution mitigation approaches.
Investigating and combatting the key drivers of viral zoonoses in Africa: an analysis of eight epidemics
This analysis examined the ecological, social, and governance factors driving viral zoonotic disease outbreaks in sub-Saharan Africa, finding that poverty, ecosystem disruption, and inadequate surveillance infrastructure are key amplifiers of spillover risk.
Urine biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease: A new opportunity for wastewater-based epidemiology?
Researchers explored whether Alzheimer's disease biomarkers found in urine could be detected in wastewater to track disease trends across entire communities — a method called wastewater-based epidemiology. While promising biomarkers exist in urine, key questions about their stability and concentration in sewage must be resolved before this surveillance approach can be implemented.
Harnessing environmental DNA: revolutionizing holistic monitoring of aquatic biodiversity for fishery management under the One Health framework
This review paper examines a new monitoring technique called environmental DNA (eDNA) that can detect fish and other water creatures by testing water samples for genetic material they leave behind. Scientists believe this tool could help better manage fish populations and protect both ocean health and human food security, since healthy fisheries provide food for billions of people worldwide. However, the technology still needs improvements before it can be widely used to make decisions about fishing limits and water safety.
Diving boldly into COVID‐19 contaminated wastewater: Eyes at nanotechnology‐assisted solutions
This review examined nanotechnology-assisted solutions for detecting, monitoring, and treating COVID-19 contaminated wastewater, highlighting scalable and cost-effective strategies for managing viral spread through sewage systems.
Household Wastewater as a Sentinel for Community-Level Antimicrobial Resistance: A Cross-Sectional Study in Gombe, Nigeria
Researchers investigated household wastewater as a sentinel for community-level antimicrobial resistance (AMR), finding that wastewater analysis could capture population-wide resistance profiles in a cost-effective way. The study identified environmental transmission via wastewater as a significant but understudied route for AMR dissemination.
Pendekatan One Health Manajemen Air Limbah Rumah Pemotongan Hewan Kota Tana Paser
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it applies a One Health framework to assess wastewater management at an animal slaughterhouse in Indonesia, focusing on biological and chemical wastewater quality indicators rather than microplastic contamination.
A nanotechnology roadmap for circular wastewater management
This review paper summarizes research on using tiny particles called nanoparticles to make wastewater treatment more efficient and environmentally friendly. The technology could help clean water while also recovering valuable materials like nutrients and energy, but scientists still need to solve problems like how to use it safely on a large scale. Better wastewater treatment matters for human health because it helps ensure our water supply stays clean and reduces pollution in the environment.
Are Putative Beta-Lactamases Posing a Potential Future Threat?
Researchers propose a reproducible early warning framework for identifying putative beta-lactamase enzymes that could contribute to future antibiotic resistance. The framework uses motif analysis and mobility context to prioritize candidates and complements existing antimicrobial resistance surveillance systems. The study aligns with a One Health approach that integrates monitoring across human, animal, and environmental reservoirs.
