This is important!

EU-WISH focuses on respiratory viruses, but colleagues from South Africa have shown, that #Tuberculosis surveillance in wastewater is possible. So WBE might be of service.

Maybe that's a topic to discuss - and research - more deeply?

Tracking the spread of Arboviruses in Europe will be a challenge. #Wastewatersurveillance might be up to the task. Pilot projects are already running.

#EU_WISH experts might be able to shed light on Arbovirus epidemiology in Europe should the see success.

🧵 Dengue is no longer just a tropical disease - it's showing up in Europe.

This season, France, Italy, and Portugal (Madeira) have already reported locally acquired dengue cases.
