Assessment and application of GeneXpert rapid testing for respiratory viruses in school wastewater
The GeneXpert system is cost-effective for low numbers of samples and can be used for wastewater monitoring of respiratory viruses in schools. The results were reproducible and comparably sensitive to filtration-ddPCR for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A.
