Detection and Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Wastewater and Treated Effluents: Surveillance of COVID-19 Epidemic in the United Arab Emirates	2020-10-19		.txt	text/plain	3980	220	54	Testing SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in wastewater has recently emerged as a method of tracking the prevalence of the virus and an early-warning tool for predicting outbreaks in the future. A limited number of studies have shown that the shedding period of SARS-CoV-2 in stool samples varies considerably, and can still be detected up to 27.9 ± 10.7 days after infection in some cases [9, 11] . Consequently, the main objectives of this study were: (i) to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus in municipal (untreated) wastewater and treated effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the UAE; (ii) to quantify the viral concentration in viral gene copies per liter; and (iii) to explore whether these measurements mirror infections in the population in order to comment on the utility of this method to track the epidemiology of the disease.	./cache/cord-333547-88dkh6xd.txt	./txt/cord-333547-88dkh6xd.txt
