Improved performance of saliva for the detection of the B.1.351 variant in South Africa

2021-03-31

Abstract excerpt

Assessment of the unknown performance of saliva for the detection of the novel SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) B.1.351 (501Y.V2) lineage is essential as saliva has been shown to be an equivalent, less invasive and a less costly alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs for the molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pre-variant studies. Between 1st August 2020 and 16th January 2021, we enrolled 410 eligible a...
