Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an effective surveillance approach for monitoring viruses of public health relevance at the community level, complementing clinical surveillance systems. Molecular methods such as PCR/qPCR are widely used for targeted detection, while next-generation sequencing (NGS) with targeted enrichment panels has emerged as a complementary strategy for broader viral detection and genomic characterization. This study comparatively evaluated conventional PCR/qPCR and a ...
