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

2022-02-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> 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. <h4>Methods and Findings</h4> In this study, we analyze Ct values from 1297 SARS-CoV-2 positive patient saliva sampl...
