Playing the Enteric Pathogen Slots in Las Vegas

  • Summary

  • Mask mandates, social distancing, and frequent hand washing became the norm during the COVID-19 pandemic. While these measures were directed at SARS-CoV-2, public health officials noticed that there were corresponding reductions in other respiratory viruses, such as influenza. But what impact, if any, did these measures have on the spread of enteric pathogens--the ones most commonly associated with diarrhea?

    This episode takes a "deep dive" into wastewater surveillance, but this time focusing on enteric pathogens, specifically norovirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia. By looking at how wastewater concentrations of these pathogens vary over time and by location, we can better understand how infections are spreading, where public health interventions might be appropriate, and even the implications for our drinking water systems.
