    Resumen:
    SARS-CoV-2 variants are emerging worldwide, and monitoring them is key in providing early warnings. Here, we summarize the different analytical approaches currently used to study the dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. We also provide preliminary results of two sensitive and cost-effective approaches: variant-specific reverse transcription-nested PCR assays and a nonvariant-specific amplicon deep sequencing strategy that targets three key regions of the viral spike protein. Next-generation sequencing approaches enable the simultaneous detection of signature mutations of different variants of concern in a single assay and may be the best option to explore the real picture at a particular time. Targeted PCR approaches focused on specific signature mutations will need continuous updating but are sensitive and cost-effective. © 2021 The Authors
