Early-warning system to protect and promote human health and inform Houston’s response to viral outbreaks
To address the challenge of anticipating and responding to prominent outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, Houston Wastewater Epidemiology has implemented a comprehensive, cost-effective system to monitor community infection dynamics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.
The science and innovation behind wastewater-based epidemiology is currently being scaled to monitor for influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), mpox, measles, and 29 potential pathogens.
