Abstract

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a vital, non-invasive tool for comprehensive public health surveillance. This collection of studies demonstrates WBE’s extensive utility in tracking diverse pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 [1], emerging viruses [3], influenza [4], poliovirus [7], and norovirus [9]. It also highlights WBE’s critical application in monitoring bacterial pathogens [5] and antimicrobial resistance genes [2, 6] within communities. Furthermore, new frontiers like fungal pathogen surveillance are being explored [10]. Overall, WBE offers timely, community-wide insights, aiding in early detection, understanding disease trends, and informing effective public health responses, despite ongoing methodological challenges [8].
