Integrating measles wastewater and clinical whole-genome sequencing enables high-resolution tracking of virus evolution and transmission

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Measles outbreaks have surged globally in recent years, but current surveillance systems have limited capacity to monitor measles virus (MeV) transmission and evolution at population scale. Although MeV can be detected in wastewater, the public health potential of wastewater genomic surveillance for MeV remains largely unexplored. Here, we deploy sensitive, low-cost MeV wastewater genomic survei...
