Opportunistic untargeted sequencing can complement targeted viral surveillance workflows for unresolved respiratory illness in Uganda

2026-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Routine respiratory surveillance in low- and middle-income countries relies heavily on targeted molecular diagnostics for influenza and SARS-CoV-2, leaving a substantial proportion of influenza-like illness (ILI) cases etiologically unresolved. To address this diagnostic blind spot, we evaluated the utility of opportunistic, untargeted shotgun next-generation sequencing of viral RNA on...
