Pathogen prioritization for wastewater surveillance ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic GamesA new study by researchers from the French national public health institute aimed to identify priority pathogens that could be suitable for wastewater surveillance during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games taking place from 26 July to 11 August and 28 August to 8 September, respectively.
The relevance and added value to inform decision making criteria were assessed by a panel of 32 experts, who also proposed five additional pathogens. The study constitutes a starting point to develop and execute a WWS strategy for the Paris 2024 Games. It offers a model framework for identifying context-specific WWS targets in mass gatherings and if successful, it could encourage the adoption of similar WWS strategies for similar events in the future.
A WWS plan for the Paris 2024 Games would serve as an exploratory tool, providing a pilot to continue monitoring measles: Pathogen prioritization for wastewater surveillance ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games retrieved 11 July 2024 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-07-pathogen-prioritization-wastewater-surveillance-paris.html
