Monitoring an Emergent Pathogen at Low Incidence in Wastewater Using qPCR: Mpox in Switzerland

Wastewater-based epidemiology offers a complementary approach to clinical case-based surveillance of emergent diseases and can help identify regions with infected people to prioritize clinical surveillance strategies. However, tracking emergent diseases in ...

Assessment of water, sanitation, and hygiene services in district health care facilities in rural area of Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Solomzi Makohliso

Access to sufficient water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services is a crucial requirement for patients during therapy and general well-being in the hospital. However, in low- and middle-income countries, these services are often inadequate, resulting in ...

Solar water purification with photocatalytic nanocomposite filter based on TiO2 nanowires and carbon nanotubes

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Endre Horvath, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Miriam Gaál

Water contamination due to environmental conditions and poor waste management in certain areas of the world represents a serious problem in accessing clean and safe drinking water. This problem is especially critical in electricity-poor regions, where adva ...

Waterborne virus transport and the associated risks in a large lake

Tamar Kohn, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Chaojie Li, Timothy R. Julian

Waterborne enteric viruses in lakes, especially at recreational water sites, may have a negative impact on human health. However, their fate and transport in lakes are poorly understood. In this study, we propose a coupled water quality and quantitative mi ...

Toward biocontrol of waterborne pathogens: contributions of protists to virus removal and associated mechanisms

Margot Ninon Lauren Olive

Human viruses are widespread in the water environment and pose a risk to human health. Wastewater effluents represent the main source of viruses discharge in the environment, leading to contamination of aquatic ecosystems. Viral pathogens can persist on th ...

Impact of Escherichia colifrom stormwater drainage on recreational water quality: an integrated monitoring and modelling of urban catchment, pipes and lake

Frédéric Charles Soulignac

In recent years, recreational waterbodies are increasingly favoured in urban areas. In spite of the growing concerns for maintaining the required bathing water quality, the impacts of stormwater drainage are still poorly controlled. In this context, this s ...

Vancomycin resistance plasmids affect persistence of Enterococcus faecium in water

Suzanne Marie Young

Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) cause 20,000 infections annually in the United States, most of which are nosocomial. Recent findings of VRE in sewage-contaminated surface waters demonstrate an alternate route of human exposure, and a possible settin ...

Statistical comparison of the performance of data-based models for sewer condition modeling

José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

The present article proposes a methodology to consider the uncertainty intrinsic to data-based models when comparing their performance. The goal is to provide a quantification of the variability of this type of models due to the random nature of the calibr ...

Simulated Annealing in Optimization of Energy Production in a Water Supply Network

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Irene Almeida Samora

In water supply systems, the potential exists for micro-hydropower that uses the pressure excess in the networks to produce electricity. However, because urban drinking water networks are complex systems in which flows and pressure vary constantly, identif ...

Feasibility assessment of micro-hydropower for energy recovery in the water supply network of the city of Fribourg

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Irene Almeida Samora

In water supply systems there is potential for hydropower production at several scales, from small hydro to micro. The energy recovery within the urban water supply networks is a type of micro-hydro that may be useful for the control of excessive pressures ...
