    Abstract The One Health framework recognizes that human, animal, and environmental health are linked and highly interdependent. Fecal contamination of water, soil, foodstuff, and air may impact many aspects of One Health, and culture, PCR-based, and sequencing methods are utilized in the detection of fecal contamination to determine source, load, and risk to inform targeted mitigation strategies. Viruses, particularly, have been considered as fecal contamination indicators given the narrow host range many exhibit and their association with other biological contaminants. Culture- and molecular-based methods are considered the gold-standards for virus detection and for determining specific sources of fecal contamination via viral indicators. However, viral metagenomics is also being considered as a tool for tracking sources of fecal contamination. In the present review, studies tracking potential sources of fecal contamination in freshwaters, marine waters, foodstuff, soil, and air using viral metagenomics are discussed to highlight the potential of viral metagenomics for optimizing fecal source tracking. Limitations of the use of viral metagenomics to track fecal contamination sources, including sample processing, nucleic acid recovery, sequencing depth, and bioinformatics are also discussed. Finally, the present review discusses the potential of viral metagenomics as part of the toolbox of methods in a One Health approach.

    Abstract Parasites have affected and coevolved with humans and animals throughout history. Evidence of ancient parasitic infections, particularly, reside in archeological remains originating from different sources dating to various periods of times. The study of ancient parasites preserved in archaeological remains is known as paleoparasitology, and it initially intended to interpret migration, evolution, and dispersion patterns of ancient parasites, along with their hosts. Recently, paleoparasitology has been used to better understand dietary habits and lifestyles of ancient human societies. Paleoparasitology is increasingly being recognized as an interdisciplinary field within paleopathology that integrates areas such as palynology, archaeobotany, and zooarchaeology. Paleoparasitology also incorporates techniques such as microscopy, immunoassays, PCR, targeted sequencing, and more recently, high-throughput sequencing or shotgun metagenomics to understand ancient parasitic infections and thus interpret migration and evolution patterns, as well as dietary habits and lifestyles. The present review covers the original theories developed in the field of paleoparasitology, as well as the biology of some parasites identified in pre-Columbian cultures. Conclusions, as well as assumptions made during the discovery of the parasites in ancient samples, and how their identification may aid in better understanding part of human history, ancient diet, and lifestyles are discussed.

    Abstract Constructed wetlands are an efficient and cost-effective system for the treatment of wastewater that can be reused for diverse purposes, including irrigation; however, few studies have determined the efficiency of microbial removal by constructed wetlands in tropical regions. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the microbial quality of the influent and effluent of a constructed wetland in Puerto Rico, using traditional bacterial indicators (i.e., thermotolerant coliforms and enterococci), as well as somatic and male-specific (F+) coliphages. Results showed that over 99.9 and 97.7% of thermotolerant coliforms and enterococci were removed after treatment by constructed wetlands, respectively. Notably, approximately 84.0% of male-specific (F+) coliphages were removed, while somatic and total coliphages exhibited differing removal percentages at different steps during treatment by constructed wetlands. The potential risk of the presence of enteric viruses in treated wastewater by constructed wetlands may increase when considering traditional bacterial indicators exclusively. The present study may aid in the efforts to determine public health concerns associated with the exposure of bioaerosols resulting from wastewater treatment by constructed wetlands.

    Abstract Viruses are part of the microbiome and have essential roles in immunology, evolution, biogeochemical cycles, health, and disease progression. Viruses influence a wide variety of systems and processes, and the continued discovery of novel viruses is anticipated to reveal new mechanisms influencing the biology of diverse environments. While the identity and roles of viruses continue to be discovered and understood through viral metagenomics, most of the sequences in virome datasets cannot be attributed to known viruses or may be only distantly related to species already described in public sequence databases, at best. Such viruses are known as the viral dark matter. Ongoing discoveries from the viral dark matter have provided insights into novel viruses from a variety of environments, as well as their potential in immunological processes, virus evolution, health, disease, therapeutics, and surveillance. Increased understanding of the viral dark matter will continue with a combination of cultivation, microscopy, sequencing, and bioinformatic efforts, which are discussed in the present review.

    Abstract The human urinary virome is comprised by diverse communities of both eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophages. Identification and quantification of human urinary viruses was limited to PCR-based and culture methods. Detection of viruses in human urine has long been associated with disease, but advances in next-generation sequencing have shown that it harbors robust viral communities. Human urinary viral communities are mainly comprised by bacteriophages and Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) that remain to be characterized in association with health and diverse urinary disease states. In the present chapter, the methods to identify and quantify DNA viral populations in human urine using next-generation sequencing are described.
