项目摘要

Environmental surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater has the potential to support understanding of COVID-19 occurrence and transmission in communities. As such, wastewater may be monitored for SARS-CoV-2 to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 infections in a given population through wastewater-based epidemiology. Ultimately, routine monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a community's wastewater may be used as a tool to aid in public health decision making and assist in identifying subsequent waves of the virus which will minimize the spread of this pandemic. Drs. Stoddart, Jamieson and Gagnon will lead a team of researchers in collaboration with Halifax Water, LuminUltra Technologies, the Nova Scotia Health Authority and Nova Scotia Environment to develop a wastewater-based surveillance approach for SARS-CoV-2 in support of public health initiatives. This approach will include: i) development of a wastewater-based surveillance approach for SARS-CoV-2 for the Province of Nova Scotia, ii) optimization of assessment techniques for SARS-CoV-2 from environmental samples in collaboration with LuminUltra and the Nova Scotia Health Authority and iii) Communication of data to the Nova Scotia Health Authority for public health decision making such as identification of extent of infection in Nova Scotia, early identification of subsequent waves of the virus and informing the safe lifting of social and economic restrictions.

污水中SARS-CoV-2的环境监测可能有助于了解新冠肺炎在社区中的发生和传播。因此，可以监测废水中的SARS-CoV-2，以通过基于废水的流行病学确定特定人群中新冠肺炎感染的流行率。最终，对社区污水中SARS-CoV-2RNA的常规监测可能被用作一种工具，帮助制定公共卫生决策，并帮助识别随后的病毒浪潮，从而将这一大流行的传播降至最低。 Stoddart博士、Jamieson博士和Gagnon博士将带领一个研究团队与Halifax Water、LLumUltra Technologies、Nova Scotia Health Authority和Nova Scotia Environment合作，开发一种基于废水的SARS-CoV-2监测方法，以支持公共卫生倡议。这一方法将包括：i)为新斯科舍省开发基于废水的SARS-CoV-2监测方法；ii)与LLumUltra和新斯科舍省卫生局合作，从环境样本中优化SARS-CoV-2的评估技术；以及iii)向新斯科舍省卫生局传达数据，用于公共卫生决策，如确定新斯科舍省的感染程度，及早识别病毒后续浪潮，并为安全解除社会和经济限制提供信息。
