First molecular detection of five gastroenteritis viruses in untreated wastewater and impact of seasonal change on their distribution in Cameroon
This study provides the first report on the effect of seasonality on the distribution of enteric viruses in wastewater in Cameroon. Our results highlight the importance of considering seasonal variations when designing public health interventions and demonstrate the usefulness of wastewater-based epidemiology in environmental surveillance.
