Despite entering an endemic phase, SARS-CoV-2 remains a significant burden to public
health across the global community. Wastewater sampling has consistently proven utility to …

Wastewater monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 enables early detection and monitoring of the
COVID-19 disease burden in communities and can track specific variants of concern. We …

Abstract On November 26, 2021, the B. 1.1. 529 COVID-19 variant was classified as the
Omicron variant of concern (VOC). Reports of higher transmissibility and potential immune …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) likely emerged from a
zoonotic spill-over event and has led to a global pandemic. The public health response has …

The adaptive evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants is driven by selection for increased viral
fitness in transmissibility and immune evasion. Understanding the dynamics of how an …

The identification of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants can predict new patterns of COVID-19
community transmission and lead to the deployment of public health resources. However …

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an effective way of tracking the appearance and
spread of SARS-COV-2 lineages through communities. Beginning in early 2021, we …

The implementation and integration of wastewater-based epidemiology constitutes a
valuable addition to existing pathogen surveillance systems, such as clinical surveillance for …

Monitoring severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of
concern (VOCs) is critical for public health management of coronavirus disease. Sequencing …

Viral genome sequencing has guided our understanding of the spread and extent of genetic
diversity of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes are …
