Local wastewater monitoring as a complementary tool in a mumps outbreak investigation in the Netherlands: a proof-of-concept study

2025-08-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> A recent outbreak of mumps resulted in a concerningly low number of classical disease notifications, causing a search for alternative methods of monitoring. <h4>Aim</h4> This study aims to evaluate whether mumps virus RNA can be detected in wastewater, and how these measurements relate to clinical monitoring. <h4>Methods</h4> Suspected mumps cases were recorded by local GP practices (n = 13)...
