As of 18 August 2022, 1087 confirmed cases of monkeypox are reported in the Netherlands. Monkeypox virus likely ends up in wastewater because i) skin flakes from areas affected by the typical rash and scabbing may wash off, and ii) monkeypox virus has been detected in animal and human feces. Here we describe a method to qualitatively detect monkeypox virus DNA in wastewater, that may prove a valuable surveillance tool for outbreaks.
