Mosquito-borne and waterborne pathogens such as arboviruses and Vibrio cholerae pose ongoing challenges for environmental and public health monitoring. Individual clinical testing is resource-intensive, logistically complex, and often limited by healthcare access or participation, resulting in an underestimation of asymptomatic infections.¹ Effective surveillance is essential for timely detection, outbreak prevention, and public health response. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a promising approach for monitoring infectious diseases at the population level, yet its application to vector-borne pathogens remains underexplored. We evaluated Nanotrap® Microbiome Particles, magnetic hydrogel nanoparticles previously validated for capturing viruses and bacteria in environmental water and clinical specimens, for the capture and concentration of arboviruses and Vibrio cholerae from environmental
water.
