Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes COVID-19 transmission in Western New York by integrating genomic sequencing data from patients with a SEIR computational model that considers geographical factors.
  • *It investigates how genetic variations in the virus, along with population density and movement patterns, influence the spread of SARS-CoV-2 within specific regions.
  • *The findings highlight local transmission dynamics, suggesting potential cross-county spread, and aim to inform better public health strategies for future virus control.*

The sequencing of human virus genomes from wastewater samples is an efficient method for tracking viral transmission and evolution at the community level. However, this requires the recovery of viral nucleic acids of high quality. We developed a reusable tangential-flow filtration system to concentrate and purify viruses from wastewater for genome sequencing.
