Wastewater surveillance facilitates climate change-resilient pathogen monitoring.

Traditional disease surveillance systems are ill-equipped to handle climate change-driven shifts in pathogen dynamics. If paired with wastewater surveillance, a cost-effective and scalable approach for generating high-resolution health data, such next-generation systems can enable effective resource allocation and delivery of targeted interventions.
