Summary:[...]complementary surveillance methods such as wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance offer timely insights into virus circulation.2–5 To assess the emergence of BA.2.86 in the community, we analysed 432 wastewater samples collected in Bangkok, Thailand, between June and July, 2023, as part of our ongoing SARS-CoV-2 wastewater surveillance programme (appendix pp 6–7). Four of the five sequences were identical (Wastewater|Thailand|wb-23-082|2023-07-28, Wastewater|Thailand|wb-23-074|2023-07-28, Wastewater|Thailand|wb-23-077|2023-07-28, and Wastewater|Thailand|wb-23-064|2023-07-28; figure B, C). [...]one sample (Wastewater|Thailand|wb-23-074|2023-07-28) had heterogeneity at position 23570 (appendix p 15). [...]four identical sequences from different locations suggest parallel circulation across multiple areas.
