Untapped potential of wastewater for animal and potentially zoonotic virus surveillance: Pilot study to detect non-human animal viruses in urban settings

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Wastewater surveillance has become an essential tool for monitoring viral outbreaks and surveillance of human viruses. While PCR-based methods are most frequently used, more advanced techniques, such as shotgun metagenomics in combination with viral capture methods, have been developed. These capture methods significantly improve the ability to detect nearly all (known) viruses at once in complex...
