Abstract
Aims: This review aims to examine wastewater surveillance for the detection of yellow fever virus (YFV) and related arboviruses, focusing on concentration and extraction methodology, viral decay kinetics, and quantification techniques.
Methods: A literature search was conducted across 5 databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar following the PRISMA guidelines. Studies included were original scientific articles published between April 2014 and April 2024. Human research studies investigating wastewater surveillance and YFV or other arboviruses/flaviviruses were assessed.
Results: A total of 17 studies were included in this review. YFV was not detected in population-based wastewater samples; however, successful detection of similar viruses suggests potential for YFV monitoring with wastewater surveillance. YFV-spiked wastewater studies reveal similar concentration efficiency and decay rates between arboviruses. Effective concentration methods for YFV likely include centrifugation ultrafiltration and solid pellet extraction. YFV and arboviruses decay faster at higher temperatures, though YFV remains detectable for several days at these temperatures.
Conclusions: Wastewater surveillance presents a promising approach for monitoring YFV and other arboviruses. However, further research is needed to overcome existing limitations and enhance its effectiveness.
目的:本文综述了污水监测中黄热病病毒(YFV)和相关虫媒病毒的检测方法,重点介绍了浓度和提取方法、病毒衰变动力学和定量技术。方法:按照PRISMA指南,在PubMed、Science Direct、Web of Science、Embase和谷歌Scholar 5个数据库中进行文献检索。纳入的研究是2014年4月至2024年4月间发表的原创科学文章。评估了调查废水监测和YFV或其他虫媒病毒/黄病毒的人类研究。结果:本综述纳入了17项研究。在以人群为基础的废水样本中未检测到YFV;然而,成功地检测到类似的病毒表明了利用废水监测监测YFV的潜力。含有yfv的废水研究表明,虫媒病毒之间的浓缩效率和衰减率相似。有效的YFV浓缩方法可能包括离心、超滤和固体颗粒萃取。YFV和虫媒病毒在较高的温度下腐烂得更快,尽管在这些温度下仍可检测到YFV数天。结论:废水监测是监测YFV和其他虫媒病毒的一种有前景的方法。但是,为了克服现有的局限性,提高其有效性,还需要进一步的研究。
