The world is currently facing a novel global pandemic, which has led to an urgent search for solutions, proliferation of research and development activities and ongoing surveillance. Managing emergencies can raise challenging ethical and governance issues for organisations and stakeholders at the forefront of decision-making.
The PHA4GE Wastewater Contextual Data Specification Package is scoped for data collection and sharing (within organizations, within networks and if desired, with public repositories) of both pathogen-agnostic genomics contextual data and genotypic attributes (such as antimicrobial resistance genes) derived from amplicon-based, WGS, and metagenomic sequencing approaches.
This repository hosts guidance documents and resources developed by the PHA4GE Wastewater Surveillance Working Group. These documents address core challenges involved in designing effective wastewater surveillance strategies, analyzing wastewater pathogen sequencing and quantification data, and sharing this data with the global public health community.
This training equips public health professionals with essential skills to monitor pathogens in wastewater and environmental samples, enhancing disease surveillance and outbreak response.
