The timely detection of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for controlling its spread, especially in areas vulnerable to outbreaks. However, due a lack sustainable and low cost methods, early such outbreaks impacting middle-income countries (LMICs). Leveraging Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE), we examined the dissemination evolution SARS CoV2 virus open drains across urban, suburban densely populated cities selected regions state Maharashtra, third largest India. In period from June 2022 May 2023, 44.89 % RNA were positive RT-qPCR wastewater samples collected regions. Whole genome sequencing revealed 22 distinct lineages, with Omicron variant, followed by XBB dominating, alongside other variants as BF, BQ, CH, BA.2.86, albeit lower frequencies. Wastewater surveillance provided insights into viral transmission, complementing clinical surveillance. Notably, our study detected emerging prior reporting, highlighting potential WBE detection. Findings underscore correlation between population density trend load. This also highlighted significance using low-cost, tool, LMICs, where adequate methods are lacking or difficult deploy accessibility.

Introduction Establishing a national health city is an important policy aimed at optimizing urban environment and improving residents’ health. A rigorous evaluation of the policy’s impact on China’s public imperative. Such would provide scientific foundation for continuous improvement enhance overall population. Methods Based panel data 84 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2023, this study takes healthy as quasi-natural experiment, employs DID model deeply explore National Health City Campaign (NHCC) China. Results The research indicates that has led decline mortality rates contributed enhancement certain extent. NHCC varies across different regions, economic development levels, population sizes. In addition, determined capable achieving substantial enhancements levels by promoting optimization upgrading industrial structure. sewage treatment rate found be regulatory nature.

ABSTRACT Background The global pandemic caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 has underlined the significance of strict genomic surveillance to track virus evolution and possible emergence new variants, particularly in densely populated countries like Bangladesh. This study outlines a strategic framework Bangladesh between June 2021 December 2022 through National Variant Surveillance (NSVS) program involving collaboration across 4 major institutes 13 hospitals nationwide. Methods We aimed capture variants throughout country utilizing standardized procedures, modern sequencing technology, stringent quality control, promoting data accuracy timely detection concern. sequenced over 2200 genomes, documenting prevalence Delta variant initially, followed Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.5, XBB, each affecting transmission rates vaccine efficacy differently. Results clinical manifestations differed, with some symptoms occurring more frequently cases vice versa. Vaccinated individuals were affected compared cases. These responsible for two COVID‐19 waves country, significant effects. Phylogenetic analyses placed local within context, indicating likely entered from India Europe. Conclusion research highlights collaborative strategies guiding public health choices critical role analysis monitoring evolution, shaping targeted responses.
