In recent years, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as an effective tool for early detection of disease outbreaks. This manuscript presents a novel perspective on WBE by highlighting sewage predictive instrument, capable providing near-real-time, community-level pathogen surveillance and anticipating mitigating future pandemics even before first clinical symptoms are detected. approach enables cost-effective, non-invasive, population-wide monitoring infectious diseases’ emergence, evolution, decline. By identifying pathogens in human waste (e.g., viruses bacteria), delivers real-time insights into infection trends, encompassing data from asymptomatic pre-symptomatic populations, enabling timely interventions public health authorities. Among key advantages its capacity to encompass large pinpoint transmission hotspots, facilitate resource allocation containment efforts. The efficacy predicting already been validated during potential critical component pandemic response preparedness. However, this also challenges such sample variability, environmental factors, infrastructure limitations. Through comprehensive review state-of-art available topic, including almost 300 published papers, present emphasizes expected impact integrating global frameworks discusses applications emerging diseases, aiming provide multidimensional overview integration with other tools.
