wastewater-based epidemiology
Also known as: WBE
Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Furthermore, we discuss the emerging monitoring mechanism, namely wastewater-based epidemiology, for early warning of the outbreak, focusing on sensors for rapid and on-site analysis of SARS-CoV2 in sewage.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Wastewater-based epidemiology is presented as an emerging monitoring mechanism for detecting outbreak signals through sewage analysis. In this review, it is specifically tied to SARS-CoV-2 monitoring.; early warning of outbreak; monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in sewage; population-level surveillance

Problem links
This is an early-warning surveillance method for SARS-CoV-2 in sewage, which could help trigger interventions before transmission accelerates. It does not itself block transmission, but it could support operational transmission-reduction strategies in the built environment or public health response.

Implementation Constraints
The abstract supports a need for sewage analysis and sensors capable of rapid and on-site SARS-CoV-2 detection in that matrix.; requires sewage sampling and analysis context; depends on sensors suitable for rapid and on-site SARS-CoV-2 analysis in sewage
The abstract does not show that WBE alone resolves the broader commercialization, translation, or mass-production bottlenecks affecting pandemic sensing technologies.; the abstract does not establish specific validated sensor formats or standardized operational workflows; practical translation challenges are part of the review's overall focus
