With wastewater surveillance already proving to be a vital tool in tracking coronavirus levels in California, scientists are now looking to sewage to help them detect monkeypox and other diseases.
Researchers at Stanford University announced last Friday that they are using the sewage monitoring lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic to lead a nationwide initiative to monitor the spread of infectious diseases including monkeypox, influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus.
The effort will soon include tracking of the polio virus as well, given the outbreak now stirring concern in New York, researchers said.
