SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater from Mexico City used for irrigation in the Mezquital Valley: quantification and modeling of geographic dispersion

Abstract: Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in urban wastewaters has emerged as a cheap, efficient strategy to follow trends of active COVID-19 cases in populations. Moreover, mathematical models have been developed that allow the prediction of active cases following the temporal patterns of viral loads in wastewaters. In Mexico, no systematic efforts have been reported in the use of these strategies. In this work, we quantified SARS-CoV-2 in rivers and irrigation canals in the Mezquital Valley, Hidalgo, an agricultural regi… Show more

“… Coronado et al (2021) detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in irrigation water, however, did not predict the same for soil. Hence, SAR-CoV-2 is plausibly unlikely to be soil or food borne ( González et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Furthermore, natural ventilation for optimal indoor air quality is not sufficient to control the potential spread of SARS-CoV-2 ( Li et al, 2004 ; Meiss et al, 2021a ; WHO, 2021a). The host of SARS-CoV-2 may contribute to its spread ( De Wit and Ricketts, 2021 ) through means of water from agriculture ( Coronado et al, 2021 ) or organic human waste ( De Wit and Ricketts, 2021 ), which may affect marine ecosystems ( Guo et al, 2021 ; Mathavarajah et al 2021 ) and individuals through buildings ( Wang et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Un estudio reciente cuantificó el virus SARS-CoV-2 en ríos y canales de riego en el Valle del Mezquital, detectando el virus en muestras de agua de ríos y aguas de canales de riego. En particular, las muestras mostraron una tendencia general consistente de tener las cargas virales más altas en los sitios más cercanos a la Ciudad de México (Coronado et al, 2021). Este trabajo destaca la necesidad de mejorar las prácticas y políticas relacionadas con el uso de aguas residuales para riego en México y otros países.…”

“…To date, more than 58 countries have detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater, and 276 universities worldwide are conducting research on this topic. In Latin America, there are ongoing studies carried out by universities and research institutions in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, and Chile [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] . In Brazil, the first initiatives were carried out independently in the states of Minas Gerais (MG), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), and Rio Grande do Sul (RS) [38] .…”
