“…At the building level, wastewater surveillance with its fast turn-around times, can identify local outbreaks and allows for the implementation of non-pharmaceutical intervention or testing campaigns to reduce the formation of clusters [ 29 ]. Furthermore, active- or passive monitoring campaigns of airborne SARS-CoV-2 in indoor settings showcases the possibilities of using this method to survey virus loads in public spaces like schools, hospitals, public transportation, or highly frequented workplaces like offices [ 30 ].…”

“…During ongoing SARS-CoV-2 surveillance efforts, certain limitations of commonly used approaches and methods have emerged, including challenges associated with data sharing. Several initiatives including “COVIDPoops” [ 95 , 99 ], and others in Europe [ 10 , 30 ], have enabled sharing across international boundaries, which has assisted with dissemination of protocols and enabled some degree of standardization across research groups. Utilization of molecular surveillance data from wastewater requires in-depth knowledge of the catchment upstream of the sampling point (regardless of sampling the downstream treatment plant of individual manholes).…”

The human population has doubled in the last 50 years from about 3.7 billion to approximately 7.8 billion. With this rapid expansion, more people live in close contact with wildlife, livestock, and pets, which in turn creates increasing opportunities for zoonotic diseases to pass between animals and people. At present an estimated 75% of all emerging virus-associated infectious diseases possess a zoonotic origin, and outbreaks of Zika, Ebola and COVID-19 in the past decade showed their huge disruptive potential on the global economy. Here, we describe how One Health inspired environmental surveillance campaigns have emerged as the preferred tools to monitor human-adjacent environments for known and yet to be discovered infectious diseases, and how they can complement classical clinical diagnostics. We highlight the importance of environmental factors concerning interactions between animals, pathogens and/or humans that drive the emergence of zoonoses, and the methodologies currently proposed to monitor them—the surveillance of wastewater, for example, was identified as one of the main tools to assess the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by public health professionals and policy makers during the COVID-19 pandemic. One-Health driven approaches that facilitate surveillance, thus harbour the potential of preparing humanity for future pandemics caused by aetiological agents with environmental reservoirs. Via the example of COVID-19 and other viral diseases, we propose that wastewater surveillance is a useful complement to clinical diagnosis as it is centralized, robust, cost-effective, and relatively easy to implement.

“…The device can detect SARS-CoV-2 viruses in multiple scenarios, provide timely warnings and troubleshoot suspicious environments, but its portability needs to be improved. A paper-based microfluidic chip and immunofluorescence assay were proposed as one method to detect airborne SARS-CoV-2 [ 104 ].…”

The spread of microorganisms in the air, especially pathogenic microorganisms, seriously affects people’s normal life. Therefore, the analysis and detection of airborne microorganisms is of great importance in environmental detection, disease prevention and biosafety. As an emerging technology with the advantages of integration, miniaturization and high efficiency, microfluidic chips are widely used in the detection of microorganisms in the environment, bringing development vitality to the detection of airborne microorganisms, and they have become a research highlight in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Microfluidic chips can be used for the detection and analysis of bacteria, viruses and fungi in the air, mainly for the detection of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, H1N1 virus, SARS-CoV-2 virus, Aspergillus niger, etc. The high sensitivity has great potential in practical detection. Here, we summarize the advances in the collection and detection of airborne microorganisms by microfluidic chips. The challenges and trends for the detection of airborne microorganisms by microfluidic chips was also discussed. These will support the role of microfluidic chips in the prevention and control of air pollution and major outbreaks.

“…Nevertheless, these laboratory-based detections of SARS-CoV-2 in air samples certainly imposes a severe challenge to curb the infection risk. Therefore, detection of the virus using a biosensor was proposed to provide a more rapid, portable and point-of-care system [ 273 ].…”

Since the year 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as the dominant topic of discussion in the public and research domains. Intensive research has been carried out on several aspects of COVID-19, including vaccines, its transmission mechanism, detection of COVID-19 infection, and its infection rate and factors. The awareness of the public related to the COVID-19 infection factors enables the public to adhere to the standard operating procedures, while a full elucidation on the correlation of different factors to the infection rate facilitates effective measures to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection by policy makers and enforcers. Hence, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive and analytical review of different factors affecting the COVID-19 infection rate. Furthermore, this review analyses factors which directly and indirectly affect the COVID-19 infection risk, such as physical distance, ventilation, face masks, meteorological factor, socioeconomic factor, vaccination, host factor, SARS-CoV-2 variants, and the availability of COVID-19 testing. Critical analysis was performed for the different factors by providing quantitative and qualitative studies. Lastly, the challenges of correlating each infection risk factor to the predicted risk of COVID-19 infection are discussed, and recommendations for further research works and interventions are outlined.
