Abstract
We conducted retrospective analysis of the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant in US wastewater during November 2023–July 2024 using Aquascope, a bioinformatics pipeline for the National Wastewater Surveillance System. This study highlights the value of open-source bioinformatics tools in tracking pathogen variants for public health monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
