Key result
Wastewater sampling was at least as sensitive as stool sampling for detecting poliovirus, with the last positive wastewater sample collected during week 15.
Why the study?
Is wastewater sampling as sensitive as stool sampling for detecting poliovirus after an immunization campaign?

Wastewater sampling is a sensitive supplement to acute flaccid paralysis surveillance for detecting poliovirus circulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support wastewater sampling to supplement stool testing post-campaign; leaves open its role replacing acute flaccid paralysis surveillance.
Lago et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Poliovirus shedding. Wastewater sampling vs. Stool sampling was evaluated on Sensitivity of poliovirus detection. Wastewater sampling was at least as sensitive as stool sampling for detecting poliovirus, with the last positive wastewater sample collected during week 15.
