    (2023) Ampuero, Manuel; Martinez-Valdebenito, Constanza; Ferres, Marcela; Soto-Rifo, Ricardo; Gaggero, Aldo
    Sewage surveillance provides useful epidemiologic and public health information on viral infections at the population level. We detected monkeypox virus DNA from sewage samples covering 85% of the population in Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile. We also isolated infective viruses from those samples. Wastewater surveillance could complement clinical surveillance for monkeypox virus.
