Identifies early pertussis activity via wastewater surveillance, suggesting enhanced monitoring methods.
DNA concentration exhibited a transient peak in 2023, which aligned with contemporaneous clinical reports but remained at low levels thereafter. These findings suggest that WWS may detect increases in pertussis-related activity earlier than clinical reporting and highlight the potential of WWS as a complementary tool to clinical surveillance for monitoring respiratory infectious diseases.
