Balancing Accuracy and Actionability: An Assessment of Minimal- Input Wastewater Models for COVID-19 Prediction

2025-07-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a valuable tool for surveillance of infectious diseases like COVID-19, yet balancing prediction accuracy with practical deployment remains challenging, particularly in low- resource, low-prevalence, and early warning contexts. We analyzed a two-and-a-half-year dataset from Athens-Clarke County, Georgia (USA) to compare approaches for predicting COVID-19 cas...
