Correlation between the weekly rate of detection for pathogens causing acute diarrheal disease from KDCA and the concentration of pathogens detected in the six WWTPs. The weekly detection rate of each pathogen causing acute diarrheal disease by the KDCA report and the concentration of each pathogen detected in the six WWTPs were analyzed and are presented in a graph. The orange bar represents the concentration (copies/µL) of pathogens detected in sewage collected twice a month, and the blue line represents the rate of pathogen detection reported weekly by the KDCA. (A) Campylobacter spp., (B) enteropathogenic E. coli (eaeA), (C) norovirus GII, and (D) sapovirus. The trend in the concentrations of the four causative agents of acute diarrheal disease detected in sewage was very similar to the trend in the rates of detection reported by the KDCA.
