Wastewater surveillance predicts Mpox outbreak dynamics in a resource-limited urban setting

2026-03-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has emerged as a scalable approach for monitoring emerging pathogens, yet its capacity to function as an early-warning system for Mpox virus (MPXV) in rapidly urbanizing sub-Saharan African settings remains unresolved. We conducted weekly wastewater sampling at four facilities in the Kampala Metropolitan Area, Uganda, during the 2025 Mpox outbreak (Fe...
