Wastewater-based epidemiology is the detection of pathogens from sewage systems and interpretation these data to improve public health. Its use has increased in scope since 2020, when it was demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 RNA could be successfully extracted wastewater affected populations. In this Perspective we provide an overview recent advances pathogen within wastewater, propose a framework for identifying utility sampling suggest areas where analytics require development. Ensuring both collection analysis are tailored towards key questions at different stages epidemic will inference made. For analyses useful methods determine absence infection, early reliably estimate trajectories prevalence, detect novel variants without reliance on consensus sequences. This research area included many innovations have improved collected optimistic innovation continue future.
