Nearly 80 percent of U.S. households are connected to municipal wastewater collection systems. These sewer systems contain the biological waste, including discharged pathogens, of the human populations they serve. During the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater surveillance studies successfully tracked the virus shed in feces and provided advanced indications of outbreaks, sometimes weeks ahead of other public health data. This study will examine the value of wastewater surveillance as a tool to trace, prevent, and control the spread of infectious diseases beyond COVID-19.
