Key Points

This research aims to explore the use of RNA-sequencing of untreated wastewater to assess both COVID-19 and other viruses.
Utilized RNA-sequencing to analyze microbial RNAs in untreated wastewater samples.
Focused on identifying both emerging and endemic viruses simultaneously.
Demonstrated that wastewater RNA-seq can detect multiple infectious viruses, including COVID-19.
Highlighted the potential of metagenomic sequencing as a tool for public health surveillance.

Implication

Evaluates wastewater RNA-seq for monitoring multiple viruses, indicating a novel public health tool.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic showcased the power of genomic sequencing to tackle the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. However, metagenomic sequencing of total microbial RNAs in wastewater has the potential to assess multiple infectious diseases simultaneously and has yet to be explored.
