Surveillance of sars-cov-2 load and types in open sewage streams within slum districts of medellin-columbia, caracas-venezuela, kampala-uganda, and suva-fiji: a multidisciplinary approach to inform public health on pathogen spread in low resource settings
Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic has shifted from individual PCR testing to population-based surveillance using wastewater (WW). Our ongoing WW surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 load/types has been effective in Ontario, Canada and Otago, New Zealand, a catchment of ~13 million people. With mi...

| Summary: | Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic has shifted from individual PCR testing to population-based surveillance using wastewater (WW). Our ongoing WW surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 load/types has been effective in Ontario, Canada and Otago, New Zealand, a catchment of ~13 million people. With minimal sewage processing in low-income, densely populated regions (slums), WW collection should involve sampling open sewage streams for optimal pathogen surveillance and for future targeted public health initiatives. |
