Classical epidemiology relies on incidence, mortality rates, and clinical data from individual testing, which can be challenging for many countries. Therefore, innovative, flexible, cost-effective, scalable surveillance techniques are needed. Wastewater-based (WBE) has emerged as a highly powerful tool in this regard. WBE analyses substances excreted human fluids faeces that enter the sewer system. This approach provides insights into community health status lifestyle habits. serves an early warning system viral surveillance, detecting emergence of new pathogens, changes incidence identifying future trends, studying outbreaks, informing performance action plans. While long been used to study different viruses such poliovirus norovirus, its implementation surged due pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2. led establishment wastewater programmes at international, national, levels, remain operational. Furthermore, is increasingly applied other including antibiotic resistance bacteria, parasites, fungi, emerging viruses, with methodologies being developed. Consequently, primary focus now creating international frameworks enhance states' preparedness against risks. However, there remains considerable work done, particularly integrating principles One Health epidemiological acknowledge interconnectedness humans, animals, environment pathogen transmission. Thus, broader analysing three pillars must developed, transitioning environmental establishing routine practice public health.

The human population has doubled in the last 50 years from about 3.7 billion to approximately 7.8 billion. With this rapid expansion, more people live close contact with wildlife, livestock, and pets, which turn creates increasing opportunities for zoonotic diseases pass between animals people. At present an estimated 75% of all emerging virus-associated infectious possess a origin, outbreaks Zika, Ebola COVID-19 past decade showed their huge disruptive potential on global economy. Here, we describe how One Health inspired environmental surveillance campaigns have emerged as preferred tools monitor human-adjacent environments known yet be discovered diseases, they can complement classical clinical diagnostics. We highlight importance factors concerning interactions animals, pathogens and/or humans that drive emergence zoonoses, methodologies currently proposed them-the wastewater, example, was identified one main assess spread SARS-CoV-2 by public health professionals policy makers during pandemic. One-Health driven approaches facilitate surveillance, thus harbour preparing humanity future pandemics caused aetiological agents reservoirs.

Climate change and urbanization are increasing the distribution of insect vectors infectious diseases. Dengue virus is an arbovirus that causes nearly 100 million symptomatic infections per year endemic in 124 countries, range its mosquito continues to increase. Surveillance dengue complicated by fact can be asymptomatic, symptoms may not readily recognizable clinicians. Here we show wastewater monitoring used detect RNA yield information about circulation a community. We collected three samples solids week from different treatment plants Miami-Dade County, Florida, where were locally acquired. Using molecular methods, tested for 4 serotypes consistently detected 3 at all did other serotypes. According publicly available data on infections, vast majority caused serotype 3. Wastewater detection possible with as few 4.23 laboratory confirmed cases 1 people based infection data.

SummaryWastewater surveillance holds great promise as a sensitive method to detect spillover of zoonotic infections and early pandemic emergence, thereby informing risk mitigation public health response. Known viruses with potential are shed in human stool or urine, both, the experiences SARS-CoV-2, monkeypox virus, Zika virus highlight feasibility community-based wastewater for that have different transmission routes. We reviewed shedding data prototype representing viral families concern estimate likely sensitivity compared clinical surveillance. examined how on detection, together genetic sequences animal faecal biomarkers, could be used identify adaptation. The opportunities challenges associated global prevention pandemics described this Personal View, focusing low-income middle-income countries, where emergence is highest. propose research agenda ensure an equitable sustainable solution these challenges.

Fast detection and rapid intervention are crucial to mitigate risks of pathogen emergence, spillover spread—every second counts. However, comprehensive, active, longitudinal surveillance systems at high-risk interfaces that provide real-time data for action remain lacking. This paper proposes "smart market" harnessing cutting-edge tools a range sampling techniques, including wastewater air collection, multiplex assays, metagenomic sequencing. Coupled with robust response pathways, these could better enable Early Warning bolster prevention efforts.

In the face of emerging and re-emerging diseases, novel innovative approaches to population scale surveillance are necessary for early detection quantification pathogens. The last decade has seen rapid development wastewater environmental (WES) address public health challenges, which led establishment wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) being deployed monitor a range hazards. WBE exploits fact that excretions secretions from urine, gut discharged in wastewater, particularly sewage, such sampling sewage systems provides an warning system disease outbreaks by providing indication pathogen circulation. While been mainly used locations with networked systems, here we consider its value less connected populations typical lower-income settings, assess opportunity afforded pit latrines sample communities localities. We propose where struggle access diagnostic facilities, despite several additional unconnected remains important means large relatively cost-effective manner.

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.
