| Abstract | Since 2020, developed countries have rapidly shared both publicly and academically relevant wastewater surveillance
information. Data on SARS-CoV-2 circulation is pivotal for guiding public health policies and improving
the COVID-19 pandemic response. Conversely, low- and middle-income countries, such as Latin America and the
Caribbean, showed timid activities in the Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) context. In these countries,
isolated groups perform viral wastewater monitoring, and the data are unevenly shared or accessible to health
agencies and the scientific community. This manuscript aims to highlight the relevance of a multiparty effort
involving research, public health, and governmental agencies to support usage of WBE methodology to its full
potential during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of a joint One Health surveillance approach. Thus, in this study,
we explored the results obtained from wastewater surveillance in different regions of Brazil as a part of the
COVID-19 Wastewater Monitoring Network ANA (National Water Agency), MCTI (Ministry of Science, Technology,
and Innovations) and MS (Ministry of Health). Over the epidemiological weeks of 2021 and early 2022,
viral RNA concentrations in wastewater followed epidemiological trends and variations. The highest viral loads
in wastewater samples were detected during the second Brazilian wave of COVID-19. Corroborating international
reports, our experience demonstrated usefulness of the WBE approach in viral surveillance. Wastewater surveillance
allows hotspot identification, and therefore, early public health interventions. In addition, this methodology
allows tracking of asymptomatic and oligosymptomatic individuals, who are generally underreported,
especially in emerging countries with limited clinical testing capacity. Therefore, WBE undoubtedly contributes
to improving public health responses in the context of this pandemic, as well as other sanitary emergencies. | en_US |
