Wastewater-based surveillance as a proactive public health tool: Insights from SARS-CoV-2 monitoring in Kampala, Uganda (2023–2024)

2025-09-17

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background</bold> Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) offers a cost-effective, population-level complement to clinical testing for the early detection of infectious disease outbreaks; however, its adoption in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains limited. To address this gap, we conducted a study in Kampala, Uganda, to quantify SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater and evalua...
