Wastewater-Based Surveillance of Human Adenoviruses in Italy: Quantification by Digital PCR and Molecular Typing via Nanopore Amplicon Sequencing
30 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) offers valuable insight into viral circulation at the community level. In this study, we combined digital PCR (dPCR) with molecular typing to investigate the prevalence and diversity of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) in untreated wastewater samples collected throughout Italy. HAdV genomes were detected in over 93% of the 168 samples analyzed, with concentrations up to 4.5 × 106...
