Wastewater surveillance reveals hidden scale of mpox rpidemic, challenging official figures

Research highlights the potential of wastewater-based epidemiology as a complementary tool to clinical monitoring for assessing the magnitude of a mpox epidemic. Findings suggest that the presence of mpox DNA in wastewater does not directly correspond to the number of hospitalizations, indicating the underestimation of the epidemic's scale and unidentified cases.
