The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic is far from being controlled and it is already a public health emergency of international concern officially declared by the World Health Organization.

 

Despite COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, the prolonged shedding of large amounts of coronavirus genomes in the feces, that ultimately reach wastewater, makes SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in seawage a sensitive tool to monitor the spread of the virus among the population.

 

Current procedures employed for SARS-CoV-2 water-based epidemiology are diverse and demand harmonization, as a step forward towards the development of standarized methodologies for sampling, testing methods, data reporting/analytics and public health interpretation.

 

In this webinar, we will discuss these topics with international key opinion leaders.

 

Speakers:

  • Prof. Gertjan Medema, Ph.D.: "The Use of Sewage Surveillance of COVID-19"

  • Amy E. Kirby, Ph.D., MPH: "National Wastewater Surveillance System: Science and Implementation for COVID and Beyond"

  • Covadonga Caballo, Ph.D., Spanish Ministry of Health - Pending confirmation

  • Gloria Sánchez, Ph.D.: "SARS-CoV-2 in Wastewater: Remaining Challenges"

  • Prof. Rosa Mª Pinto, Ph. D.: "Temporal Dynamics  of the B1.1.1.7. SARS-CoV-2 Variant in Spanish Sewage"
