Wastewater-based surveillance and molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in northern South Africa
Wastewater-based genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 provides a comprehensive approach to characterize evolutionary patterns and distribution of viral types in a population. This study aimed to describe the molecular epidemiology and genetic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 in rural and peri-urban districts in Northern, South Africa.
