Given the known presence of SARS-Cov-2 in wastewater, stemming disease spread in global regions where untreated effluent in the environment is common will experience additional pressure. Though development and preliminary trials of a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 have been launched in several countries, rapid and effective alternative tools for the timely detection and remediation of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, especially in the developing countries, is of paramount importance. Here, we propose a promising, non-invasive technique for early prediction and targeted detection of SARS-CoV-2 to prevent current and future outbreaks. Thus, a combination of nanotechnology with wastewater-based epidemiology and artificial intelligence could be deployed for community-level wastewater virus detection and remediation.

AbstractOur recent studies have suggested that characteristic ‘Pattern of Autofluorescence (AF)’ of each disease could be a novel biomarker for non-invasive diagnosis of multiple major diseases such as acute ischemic stroke. It is necessary to determine if increased epidermal green AF may be produced by major pathological factors such as inflammation. In our current study, we used C57BL/6Slac mice exposed to LPS to test our hypothesis that inflammation may induce increased epidermal green AF: LPS rapidly induced significant increases in the epidermal green AF of the mice’s ears at 1 hr after LPS injection. LPS also dose-dependently increased the epidermal green AF. The AF intensity had a linear relationship with the LPS dosages at both 3 and 7 days after the LPS administration. The AF images exhibited the characteristic structure of the keratinocytes in Stratum Spinosum, suggesting that the origin of the increased AF was keratin 1 and/or keratin 10. Collectively, our current study has provided the first evidence indicating that inflammation can rapidly and dose-dependently induce increased epidermal green AF, suggesting that the green AF may be the first biomarker for non-invasive and rapid detection of systemic inflammation. Since inflammation is a key pathological factor of numerous diseases, our finding has highlighted the value of the epidermal AF as a novel diagnostic biomarker for numerous diseases.

We aimed in this literature review to demonstrate the association and potential of detecting novel coronavirus in saliva of patients and how its implication in future can aid in diagnosis as a non-invasive diagnostic modality. The specimen can be easily obtained and tested from suspected individuals. Review of available literature in PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Semantic Scholar was carried out using keywords and combination of “Coronavirus”, “saliva” and “diagnosis”. Of 1846 articles found, 110 were screened and included in this literature review. Currently, nasopharyngeal swab is the standard diagnostic tool as it has been reported to be accurate and sensitive towards detection of coronavirus. Testing of saliva specimens is now being considered to aid rapid detection, because saliva collection and its testing are relatively simple, cheap, and safe for both patients as well as healthcare professionals. Further research on this will be beneficial to control and contain the virus.
