Title: First molecular detection of five gastroenteritis viruses in untreated wastewater and impact of seasonal change on their distribution in Cameroon
Journal: One Health (2025)
Summary:
This study presents the first molecular evidence of five major gastroenteritis-causing viruses detected in untreated wastewater in Cameroon. Using molecular techniques, researchers identified the presence of these pathogens and assessed how their distribution varies across different seasons. The findings reveal a clear influence of seasonal patterns on virus prevalence, highlighting the importance of wastewater surveillance as an early warning system for community health risks. The research supports the One Health approach by linking environmental monitoring to public health interventions, offering valuable insights for disease prevention and control strategies in the region.
