A wastewater-based epidemiology tool for COVID-19 surveillance in Portugal
Monteiro, Sílvia; Rente, Daniela; Cunha, Mónica V.; Gomes, Manuel Carmo; Marques, Tiago A.; Lourenço, Artur B.; Cardoso, Eugénia; Álvaro, PedroThe presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in wastewater produced interest in its use for sentinel surveillance at a community level and as a complementary approach to syndromic surveillance. With this work, we set the foundations for wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) in Portugal by monitoring the trends of SARS-CoV-2 RNA circulation in the community, on a nationwide perspect...

Monteiro, Silvia; Rente, Daniela; Cunha, Mónica V.; Marques, Tiago A.; Cardoso, Eugénia; Vilaça, João; Coelho, Norberta; Brôco, Nuno; Carvalho, MartaSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA has been extensively detected in raw wastewater in studies exploring wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) for early warning purposes. Nonetheless, only a few limited studies investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in treated wastewaters to determine the potential health risks across the water cycle. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 has been done mostly ...
