Untapped potential of wastewater for animal and potentially zoonotic virus surveillance: Pilot study to detect non-human animal viruses in urban settings
The results demonstrate the ability to track a wide range of animal viruses in urban wastewater, potentially forming an early warning system for zoonotic diseases, ultimately being a useful tool for One Health based public health approaches.
