Impact of antigen test target failure and testing strategies on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 variants

2022-03-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Population testing remains central to COVID-19 control and surveillance, with countries increasingly using antigen tests rather than molecular tests. Here we describe a SARS-CoV-2 variant that escapes N antigen tests due to multiple disruptive amino-acid substitutions in the N protein. By fitting a multistrain compartmental model to genomic and epidemiological data, we show that widespr...
