SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant saliva viral load is 15-fold higher than wild-type strains

2021-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variants has escalated COVID-19 cases globally due to their high transmissibility. Since saliva is crucial for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, we hypothesized that a higher viral load of Delta variants in saliva than their parental wild-type strains contributed to the high transmissibility in the first place. However, studies have not reported this particular comparison...
