Wastewater Surveillance for Infectious Disease: A Systematic Review. Kilaru Pruthvi et al. American journal of epidemiology 2022 10
Herein we identify what infectious diseases have been previously studied via wastewater surveillance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Infectious diseases and pathogens were identified in 100 studies of wastewater surveillance across 38 countries, as well as themes of how wastewater surveillance and other measures of disease transmission were linked. Twenty-five separate pathogen families were identified in the included studies.

Tracking viruses can be tricky. Sewage provides a solution. (All you have to do is flush.) A Aufrichtig et al, NY Times, August 17, 2022
The Covid-19 pandemic has turned sewage into gold. People who are infected with the coronavirus shed the pathogen in their stool. By measuring and sequencing the viral material present in sewage, scientists can determine whether cases are rising in a particular area and which variants are circulating.
People excrete the virus even if they never seek testing or treatment. So wastewater surveillance has become a critical tool for keeping tabs on the virus, especially as Covid-19 testing has increasingly shifted to the home.

COVID-19: endemic doesn’t mean harmless A Katzourakis, Nature, January 24, 2022
To an epidemiologist, an endemic infection is one in which overall rates are static — not rising, not falling. More precisely, it means that the proportion of people who can get sick balances out the ‘basic reproduction number’ of the virus, the number of individuals that an infected individual would infect, assuming a population in which everyone could get sick. Yes, common colds are endemic. So are Lassa fever, malaria and polio. So was smallpox, until vaccines stamped it out. In other words, a disease can be endemic and both widespread and deadly. Malaria killed more than 600,000 people in 2020. Ten million fell ill with tuberculosis that same year and 1.5 million died. Endemic certainly does not mean that evolution has somehow tamed a pathogen so that life simply returns to ‘normal’.

The myriad ways sewage surveillance is helping fight COVID around the world F Kreier et al, Nature News, May 10, 2021
Wastewater tracking was used before the pandemic to monitor for polio and illicit drug use, but interest in the field and its applications has now ballooned. The information garnered is helping scientists to track down cases, predict surges, identify where to target testing, and estimate overall numbers of infected people in cities or regions

From the Wastewater Drain, Solid Pandemic Data- The coronavirus could turn sewage surveillance into a mainstream public health practice. A Anthes, NY Times, May 7, 2021
Wastewater surveillance is not a new idea.? It has been used in low- and middle-income countries in the fight to eradicate polio, for instance, and has been proposed as a way to keep tabs on noroviruses, a common cause of stomach bugs. ?But really, the return on investment to build this large new infrastructure was never enough to warrant building the system for any of those other diseases, but Covid and the pandemic really changed the calculus.?
