Comprehensive wastewater genomic surveillance in the Netherlands: insights into country-wide SARS-CoV-2 lineage dynamics and implications for future surveillance
WBE at household WWTPs is a valuable tool for SARS-CoV-2 surveillance, whereby comparatively little sequence data can be generated to identify lineage dynamics trends in large populations, and which can be scaled up and down in response to emerging lineages of concern. As such, it provides a useful complement to existing surveillance tools, to ensure optimal insight into pathogen diversity and spread.
