Abstract
Aim: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is increasingly used to monitor pandemics. In this manuscript, we review methods and limitations of WBE, as well as their online dashboards. Materials & methods: Online dashboards were retrieved using PubMed and search engines, and annotated for timeliness, availability of English version, details on SARS-CoV-2 sublineages, normalization by population and PPMoV load, availability of case/hospitalization count charts and of raw data for export. Results: We retrieved 51 web portals, half of them from Europe. Africa is represented from South Africa only, and only seven portals are available from Asia. Conclusion: WBS provides near-real-time cost-effective monitoring of analytes across space and time in populations. However, tremendous heterogeneity still persists in the SARS-CoV-2 WBE literature.
