The emergence and resurgence of pathogens have led to significant global health challenges. Wastewater surveillance has historically been used track water-borne or fecal-orally transmitted pathogens, providing a sensitive means monitoring within community. This technique offers comprehensive, real-time, cost-effective approach disease surveillance, especially for diseases that are difficult monitor through individual clinical screenings.

A focus on water quality has intensified globally, considering its critical role in sustaining life and ecosystems. Wastewater, reflecting societal development, profoundly impacts public health. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) emerged as a surveillance tool for detecting outbreaks early, monitoring infectious disease trends, providing real-time insights, particularly vulnerable communities. WBE aids tracking pathogens, including viruses, sewage, offering comprehensive understanding of community health lifestyle habits. With the rise global COVID-19 cases, gained prominence, aiding SARS-CoV-2 levels worldwide. Despite advancements treatment, poorly treated wastewater discharge remains threat, amplifying spread water-, sanitation-, hygiene (WaSH)-related diseases. WBE, serving complementary surveillance, is pivotal community-level viral infections. However, there untapped potential to expand surveillance. This review emphasizes importance link between health, highlighting need further integration into management.

Wastewater surveillance is a powerful public health tool which gained global prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article describes development and implementation of national wastewater network in France: SUM’EAU. Preliminary work included defining sampling strategy, evaluating/optimising analytical methods, launching call for tenders to select laboratories producing monitoring indicators. SUM’EAU was then deployed three stages: (i) pilot study, (ii) transfer activities from National Reference Laboratory four selected laboratories, (iii) extension system additional sites. Currently, monitors SARS-CoV-2 across 54 treatment plants mainland France. Once week on business days, 24 h flow-proportional composite samples are collected at plant inlets transported 5 °C (±3 °C) partner analysis.

The timely detection of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for controlling its spread, especially in areas vulnerable to outbreaks. However, due a lack sustainable and low cost methods, early such outbreaks impacting middle-income countries (LMICs). Leveraging Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE), we examined the dissemination evolution SARS CoV2 virus open drains across urban, suburban densely populated cities selected regions state Maharashtra, third largest India. In period from June 2022 May 2023, 44.89 % RNA were positive RT-qPCR wastewater samples collected regions. Whole genome sequencing revealed 22 distinct lineages, with Omicron variant, followed by XBB dominating, alongside other variants as BF, BQ, CH, BA.2.86, albeit lower frequencies. Wastewater surveillance provided insights into viral transmission, complementing clinical surveillance. Notably, our study detected emerging prior reporting, highlighting potential WBE detection. Findings underscore correlation between population density trend load. This also highlighted significance using low-cost, tool, LMICs, where adequate methods are lacking or difficult deploy accessibility.
