#RSV is a common #respiratory virus. We've probably all had it at some point in our life. For most of us, its a nuisance* But for some people, including #children and the elderly, its deadly. #CDC reports an estimated 7k-16k deaths due to RSV this season alone. www.cdc.gov/rsv/php/surv...

#Wastewater in #Switzerland showing high levels of circulating #RSV, #InfluenzaA, and #InfluenzaB. A lot going around at the moment. See our dashboard at wise.ethz.ch, or the FOPH Infectious Disease Dashboard for integrated surveillance at idd.bag.admin.ch

📯 #Swiss wastewater dashboard through our #wise project is now updated with historic data within which you can overlay the seasons. #Influenza B is now high, after skipping a year. Check it out here: wise.ethz.ch

The mutation impacts the digital PCR efficiency, resulting in an underestimate of the concentration (for N1). As a consequence, we now monitor the ratio as part of our weekly QA/QC. We observe some fluctuation from week to week, but the ratio has returned back to 1.

From the #Swiss #Wastewater, signs of #SARS-CoV-2 receding, while both #influenza A and B continue an upward rise. #RSV looks to be staying stable, could be evidence that it has peaked. From: wise.ethz.ch

Everything is everywhere all at once: #Influenza A, Influenza B, and #RSV are all increasing in #Zurich wastewater, while #SARS-CoV-2 still circulates. From wise.ethz.ch.

Clear signs in wastewater that RSV season is picking up as we enter end of year holidays. In past years, RSV has picked up before Influenza A and B. From: wise.ethz.ch.
