From wastewater analysis to public health action · J. Lessler and A. Christensen
原文开头
Measuring the genetic diversity of viruses in wastewater could improve disease control Justin Lessler1,2,3 and Ariel Christensen1,4 S urveilling pathogens in wastewater has become an important tool for tracking infectious diseases across populations since the COVID-19 pandemic. This approach promises to be cheaper, more timely, and less biased than traditional strategies that rely on clinical reporting or surveys. However, standard methods for estimating pathogen prevalence from wastewater, which are based on normalized measurements of the amount of a pathogen’s genetic material in a sample, have limitations (1). Some measures are not comparable across pathogens or settings, whereas others are sensitive to environmental conditions such as rainfall. On page 735 of this issue, Hill et al. …
