While PCR is vital for targeted detection, falling NGS costs have made large-scale, high-throughput sequencing more feasible, supporting broader pathogen monitoring-including the detection of vaccine escape variants and new strains. Applying NGS to wastewater offers valuable population-level insights but faces challenges such as variable sample complexity, the need for skilled staff, suitable platforms, and robust IT infrastructure. Although there are currently a lot of efforts towards defining guidelines for sampling, analysis, and integrating wastewater data into public health policy, such as the recently published International Cookbook for Wastewater Practitioners, they often lack universal applicability, emphasizing the analytical approaches in favour of the NGS-based approaches. However, standardising protocols for sampling, sequencing, and analysis is crucial to ensure reliable, comparable data across surveillance systems worldwide. Pilot studies and continuous refinement are recommended to overcome implementation hurdles and fully realise the benefits of NGS in wastewater surveillance. This work attempts to outline these challenges and opportunities across the entire wastewater surveillance workflow, from data generation to reporting, and provide some concrete suggestions and considerations across the spectrum of activities.

Sweden became a full member of the European Union (EU) in 1995. However, while traditional parties such as the Centre Party, the Liberal Party, and the Christian Democrats continue to advocate for European integration and supranational cooperation, the emergence of populist movements has significantly altered the national discourse. The research highlights a critical shift from traditional, sovereignty-based Euroscepticism to a modern form of populism driven by neoliberal economic shifts, migration challenges, and domestic security concerns. A focal point of this analysis is the rise of the Sweden Democrats (SD), which entered parliament in 2010 and achieved a historic breakthrough in the 2022 general elections. As the second-largest party, the SD now exerts substantial influence over socio-economic and migration policies through the Tidö agreement with the governing coalition. The analysis concludes that Sweden currently faces a dualistic future. First path is characterized by a \"soft\" Euroscepticism focused on environmental and human rights reforms, and the second path is defined by far-right extremism that challenges the fundamental principles of the EU. The transformative impact of the SD suggests that Swedish populism is no longer a peripheral phenomenon but a central force reshaping both national identity and EU affairs.</p>","PeriodicalId":74359,"journal":{"name":"Open research Europe","volume":"6 ","pages":"120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13309770/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148347570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
