cord-341672-k5pa3n2l	Barros‐Rodríguez, Adoración	Units for vigilance of emerging diseases based on wastewater treatment plants (WWTP‐UVED)	2020-07-27		.txt	text/plain	1316	60	45	Here, we propose the development of Units for Vigilance of Emerging Diseases based on the screening of pathogens released to wastewater treatment plants to follow the spread of the infectious agent to determine the location of infected people. bs_bs_banner Today, we have enough culture-independent techniques for the extraction and massive sequencing of nucleic acids (e.g. Illumina or Ion Torrent) and through specific amplification of pathogen genes by qPCR, to monitor the unusual presence of pathogens at any population's WWTPs. We therefore suggest the creation of Units for Vigilance of Emerging Diseases (UVEDs) based on the continuous analysis of pathogens in WWTPs in potentially affected areas and especially during epidemics and pandemics. Therefore, we believe that the creation of such UVEDs for WWTPs under the coordination of a central service to analyse countrywide nucleic acid samples would greatly benefit our society and should be implemented by future legislation similarly to the analysis of other pathogens in the treated wastewater.	./cache/cord-341672-k5pa3n2l.txt	./txt/cord-341672-k5pa3n2l.txt
