Applicability of crAssphage as a performance indicator for viral reduction during activated sludge wastewater treatment
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Feb 17. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-25824-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA major threat to water quality is the discharge of human-derived wastewater, which can cause waterborne illnesses associated with enteric viruses. A poor association exists between fecal indicator bacteria and virus fate in the environment, especially during wastewater treatment. In the current study, the potential of using a novel human gut bacteriophage crAssphage as a wastewater treatment process indicator was evaluated. Using qPCR, influent and effluent wastewater samples of two wastewater treatment plants were anal...

Viruses Associated with Acute Conjunctivitis in Vanuatu
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Jan 16:tpmd220600. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0600. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe first manifestation of a viral infection may be conjunctivitis. There are limited data on the etiology of viral conjunctivitis in Vanuatu, a country in the South Pacific Ocean. Patients presenting to one of two Vanuatu health centers with presumed infectious conjunctivitis were eligible if symptom onset was within 14 days of screening. Conjunctival and anterior nasal swabs were obtained and subjected to unbiased RNA deep sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify DNA and RNA viruses. For samples collected from May to November 202...
