SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern Alpha and Delta show increased viral load in saliva

10 May 2022

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Higher viral loads in SARS-CoV-2 infections may be linked to more rapid spread of emerging variants of concern (VOC). Rapid detection and isolation of cases with highest viral loads, even in pre- or asymptomatic individuals, is essential for the mitigation of community outbreaks. METHODS AND FINDINGS: In this study, we analyze Ct values from 1297 SARS-CoV-2 positive patient saliva samples collected at...
