In December 2021, an outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.640.2 variant, potentially originating from Cameroon, was investigated among schoolchildren in Germany. The index case, adult who had recently returned a three-week stay Republic Congo, introduced variant into school setting via their children, resulting subsequent transmission within and ultimately to hospital ward. Whole-genome sequencing viral samples identified both B.1.640.1 lineages. This highlights unpredictable nature emerging variants emphasizes importance early detection containment mitigate high-risk populations. Notably, wastewater surveillance detected during study peri-od, reinforcing utility wastewater-based epidemiology as complementary tool for warning novel variants. These findings underline critical need timely research adherence quarantine measures enhance control efforts.

Wastewater-based surveillance has emerged as an important method for monitoring SARS-CoV-2. This study investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater Zambia. We conducted a longitudinal Copperbelt and Eastern provinces Zambia from October 2023 to December during which 155 samples were collected. The subjected three different concentration methods, namely bag-mediated filtration, skimmed milk flocculation, polythene glycol-based assays. Molecular detection nucleic acid was using real-time PCR. Whole genome sequencing Illumina COVIDSEQ assay.
