Wastewater-Based Genomic Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 Variant Circulation in Two Informal Urban Settlements in Nairobi, Kenya

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance data remain limited in most low and middle-income countries (LMICs), resulting in significant gaps in the understanding of variant circulation and evolution. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) presents a non-invasive, cost-effective, and population-representative surveillance approach that can complement clinical testing, particularly in densely populated urban...
