Near-source wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, norovirus, influenza virus and RSV across five different sites in the UK. by Jay C Bullen, Mina Mohaghegh, Fatima Tahir, Charlotte Hammer, Jacob Sims, Frederico Myers, Lucas Eisinger, Ali Reza Kasmati, Claire F Trant

“…The key findings are (1) near-source wastewater detections were linked to local events (staff sickness, enhanced cleaning, changing populations); (2) wastewater detections decreased in the order norovirus GII > norovirus GI > SARS-CoV-2 ≈ influenza A ≈ RSV A > influenza B ≈ RSV B; (3) correlation between near-source wastewater data and national surveillance data increases as a function of catchment size and viral prevalence (examples include the SARS-CoV-2 BA.4/BA.5 variant peak at a museum and wastewater tracking the winter norovirus season); (4) strong weekday periodicity in near-source wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detections, with the correlation against COVID-19 case numbers increasing when modelling variable lag times between faecal shedding onset and clinical diagnosis (R2 = 0.45 increases to 0.84-0.86); (5) a log-linear relationship between the frequency of wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detection and log(catchment size⋅viral prevalence) (R2 = 0.6914-0.9066). …”
