Abstract

Wastewater surveillance in Pune, India, detected KP.2 variant in December 2023, a month before its first global detection in clinical samples. The study highlights the critical role of wastewater-based surveillance for early detection of emerging variants, thus enhancing our ability in tackling public health threats effectively.
