“…PV encompasses three serotypes, and thanks to the effort of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) programme, wild-type PV (WPV) is currently only endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan [1]. However, occasional vaccine-derived PV (VDPV) detections are reported worldwide, including in Europe [2][3][4][5], underlining the necessity to maintain a strong population immunity and a strong disease surveillance, as stated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) [6].…”

Wastewater surveillance (WWS) was developed in the early 1960s for the detection of poliovirus (PV) circulation in the population. It has been used to monitor several pathogens, including non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs), which are increasingly recognised as causes of morbidity in children. However, when applying WWS to a new pathogen, it is important to consider the purpose of such a study as well as the suitability of the chosen methodology. With this purpose, the European Non-Polio Enterovirus Network (ENPEN) organised an expert webinar to discuss its history, methods, and applications; its evolution from a culture-based method to molecular detection; and future implementation of next generation sequencing (NGS). The first simulation experiments with PV calculated that a 400 mL sewage sample is sufficient for the detection of viral particles if 1:10,000 people excrete poliovirus in a population of 700,000 people. If the method is applied correctly, several NPEV types are detected. Despite culture-based methods remaining the gold standard for WWS, direct methods followed by molecular-based and sequence-based assays have been developed, not only for enterovirus but for several pathogens. Along with case-based sentinel and/or syndromic surveillance, WWS for NPEV and other pathogens represents an inexpensive, flexible, anonymised, reliable, population-based tool for monitoring outbreaks and the (re)emergence of these virus types/strains within the general population.

“…As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, unexpected illnesses and deaths have caused global societal and economic consequences. Infectious disease prevention and control have become more complex because of increased global connectivity and interdependence [2]. Through quantitative analysis, information can be synthesized to develop a basis for decision-making [3].…”

The threat of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms to both human health and the economy is enormous. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains a global pandemic. In contrast to many other infectious diseases, monkeypox spreads rapidly and cannot be ignored. Collection of data on contagious diseases can provide quantitative evidence to support effective pandemic control strategies. Global data on predominant infectious diseases collected in the past several weeks and a summary of their epidemiology are presented herein.
