Wastewater Surveillance - Expanding Microbes of Interest Monitoring Beyond SARS-CoV-2

Join a 57-minute webinar exploring advanced methods in wastewater surveillance for infectious disease monitoring beyond COVID-19. Learn from Dr. Dilip Abraham, Associate Professor of Microbiology at Christian Medical College, and Pat Acer, Field Applications Scientist at Ceres Nanosciences, as they present groundbreaking research on multi-pathogen detection in wastewater. Discover comparative analyses of four capture and concentration methods for monitoring various pathogens including S. Typhi, SARS-CoV-2, Vibrio cholerae, and Hepatitis E (HEV) in densely populated areas. Gain insights into standardized PCR methods and targets for result comparability, while understanding cost-effective approaches suitable for low-resource settings. Examine how environmental surveillance techniques can serve as critical public health tools, including novel methods like seroincidence and bacteriophage estimation for pathogen detection.
