From surveillance to systems: Scaling environmental genomics for epidemic preparedness in Africa Learn about ODIN-Mpox, a project focusing on the rapid detection and monitoring of Mpox, alongside other waterborne pathogens, to improve epidemic preparedness by embedding innovative technologies into national health infrastructures. Zoonotic outbreaks are increasing in frequency and complexity, exposing persistent gaps in early detection systems. The recent Mpox emergency in Africa highlighted the limitations of traditional surveillance approaches. Environmental surveillance, combining wastewater monitoring with genomic sequencing, is now moving from concept to implementation. Through the Horizon Europe-funded ODIN and ODIN-Mpox initiatives, this approach is being operationalised across Africa, demonstrating how integrated, field-ready systems can strengthen preparedness and enable earlier public health responses.
