SARS-CoV2 variant analysis in Swedish wastewater samples collected in 2022
SARS-CoV-2 genome can be detected in faeces samples from COVID-19 patients using molecular methods. Therefore, monitoring SARS CoV-2 in wastewater could provide early surveillance of disease prevalence at a population-wide level, referred to as wastewater-based epidemiology. High-throughput sequencing of SARS-CoV2 in wastewater can provide information on SARS-CoV2 variants circulating in the population and act as an early warning system for the introduction of new variants of concern.          The data presented here were generated funded by governmental grants provided to the Public Health Agency of Sweden for assignment S2024/00187 and at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) by the wastewater laboratories of SEEC (<a href="https://www.scilifelab.se/capabilities/pandemic-laboratory-preparedness/swedish-environmental-epidemiology-center-seec/">The Swedish Environmental Epidemiology Center</a>):
