Ketamine, a new (or old) kid on the block: A comprehensive three-year spatio-temporal study in Belgium through wastewater-based epidemiology
Based on reports of ketamine seizures, self-reported consumption and harmful associated health effects, there are signs of increased ketamine use. However, monitoring population-level consumption patterns ...
NATIONAL SURVEILLANCE OF SARS-COV-2 IN WASTEWATER- How does WBE contribute to the global epidemiologic assessment in Belgium? (September 2020 – 2024)
circulation in a population, since people infected by COVID-19 excrete particles of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater. The circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in the Belgian population is monitored since September 2020 by taking ...
A survey of the representativeness and usefulness of wastewater-based surveillance systems in 10 countries across Europe in 2023
about their SARS-CoV-2 WBS systems, and shared information about WBS of other pathogens as deemed relevant. SARS-CoV-2 WBS systems primarily monitored national and subnational trends (population coverage: ...

Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
one week in 15/40 WWTP s. The median population size of leading WWTP s was 85.1 % larger than that of non‑leading WWTP s. In 17/40 WWTP s, however, RNA levels did not lead or explain incident cases in ...
Wastewater monitoring can anchor global disease surveillance systems
