Abstract/Summary
Community-led wastewater surveillance reveals widespread circulation of the mpox virus and clade diversity in conflict-affected countries. This low-cost approach fills critical surveillance gaps, uncovering regional clade variations, including the more severe Clade Ib, and highlighting the potential of decentralized genomic monitoring where traditional systems fail.
