Over 60 countries have integrated wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) in their COVID-19 surveillance programs, focusing on wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In this paper, we piloted the assessment of SARS-CoV-2 WBE as a complementary public health method susceptible communities highly urbanized city without WWTP Philippines by exploring extraction and detection methods, evaluating contribution physico-chemical-anthropogenic factors, attempting whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Weekly samples...
ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS Background Over 50 countries have used Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) and Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) of SARS-CoV-2 for monitoring COVID-19 cases. surveillance in the Philippines relies on clinical contact tracing, with both having limited use early detection or prediction community outbreaks. Thus, complementary public health methods that can provide community-level infection data faster using lesser resources must be explored. Objectives This study piloted...
The technical limitations of capillary sequencing in providing insights on phylogeny have been greatly aided recent years by the implementation next generation platforms which can generate whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences. In this study, enriched DNA Cynopterusbrachyotis from Mindanao, Philippines was sequenced using Illumina MiSeq platform. A total 653,967 clean paired-end reads assembled a MIRA-MITObim pipeline, resulting consensus mitogenome sequence length 17,382 bases...
