Comparing Solid-Based Concentration Methods for Rapid and Efficient Recovery of SARS-CoV-2 for Wastewater Surveillance

This study showed significant higher BCoV recovery and SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in wastewater solid fraction (p=0.006) than liquid fraction. Our result suggests that the solid fraction of wastewater samples is more suitable for recovering enveloped viruses from wastewater, and the DC and AHAP methods equally provide suitably rapid, cost-effective, and significantly higher recovery of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in wastewater samples.PMID:37558056 | DOI:10.1016/j.jviromet.2023.114790
