An exposure assessment tool to identify how people are exposed to fecal contamination in poor urban environments—built by @EmoryCGSW, funded by @gatesfoundation
Our Aparna Keshaviah is quoted today by @nytimes
in article about rising rates of Covid—and why #wastewater testing is essential: “Wastewater is the only data source we have that gives us early warnings of new outbreaks." @SmithDanaG

@sndenvironment@onlyhabyak Thanks for the question! To clarify, A positive result here is in reference to a PCR positive presence of SARS-CoV-2 DNA in the wastewater sample collected.
“Our wastewater data in rural Ghana has shown that in the remote places we are sampling from we are seeing positive results, even in places with no positive clinical samples.” #FSM7

Please join us at the Wastewater & Environmental Surveillance Workshop FSM7 Conference in Abidjan on February 22, 2023, from 10:30 to 12:00 in Room 7.
@onlyhabyak will be presenting a case study of multi- pathogen wastewater surveillance work we have done in Ghana.
(1/2) We have a new website! Still https://t.co/D9G5fKHUw6, but we've got a new look and more features and information including information on how the SaniPath Tool has been used to translate #evidence to #action, access to our code base, and best of all....drum roll please
(2/2) A shiny (literally because it was built on #RShiny) new multicity results dashboard where you can see exposure results from different SaniPath deployments and compare them to each other!
There's no better way to end your year than to read about fecal contamination in Dhaka, Bangladesh! Congrats to @NuhuAmin and team on publishing this latest SaniPath paper! @icddr_b@WorldBankWater@EmoryCGSW
Be sure to check out Wolfgang Mairinger’s presentation on “Comparison of @SaniPath Exposure Assessments in Low-Income Urban Areas in Nine Cities” today at 2:30pm in Bellflower ! #UNCWaterandHealth
Habib Yakubu @EmoryUniversity shares results of SaniPath assessment in Kumasi, Ghana. The @SaniPath approach identifies dominant pathways of exposure to faecal contam so interventions can be designed accordingly #uncwaterandhealth#evidenceforaction
Hey #uncwaterandhealth! Check out @onlyhabyak's presentation on “Use of Evidence-based Tool to Inform Action and Sanitation Investments in Kumasi, Ghana” today between 4-5pm in Redbud! #sanitation#Ghana#sdg6
LCC Public Health Inspectors and research associates will come together to collect public health data to support evidence-based decision making in the city and their knowledge and skills will no doubt lead to great outcomes in the #WASH sector. (2/2)
