Abstract:
Building on the success of initiatives put forth during the COVID-19 pandemic response, US health officials are expanding wastewater surveillance programs to track other target pathogens and diseases of public health interest. The Houston Health Department in Houston, Texas, USA, conducted a hypothesis-generating study whereby infectious disease subject matter experts suggested potential targets. This study addressed 2 criteria recommended by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for selecting wastewater targets. Results can be used as a basis of a questionnaire for a future population-based study to recommend targets of highest priority to include for expanded wastewater sampling.
摘要:
在COVID-19大流行应对期间提出的举措取得成功的基础上,美国卫生官员正在扩大废水监测计划,以追踪其他具有公共卫生利益的目标病原体和疾病。休斯顿卫生部,德州,美国,进行了一项假设生成研究,传染病主题专家建议了潜在的目标。这项研究涉及美国国家科学院推荐的两个标准,Engineering,和用于选择废水目标的药物。结果可用作未来基于人群的研究的问卷的基础,以推荐最优先考虑的目标,以包括扩大的废水采样。
