Abstract
Diamond et al. recently identified malaria and dengue as high-priority diseases in wastewater surveillance for climate-change-driven shifts in pathogen dynamics. When employing wastewater surveillance for vector-borne pathogens it is essential to take into account the geographical context, pathogen biology, and the availability of sewage networks for meaningful interventions.
