Clinical assessment of SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid detection compared with RT-PCR assay for emerging variants at a high-throughput community testing site in Taiwan

Ming- Jian et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of the COVID-19 antigen rapid test kit in a community testing site. The results showed high sensitivity and specificity of the test, especially in subjects with cycle threshold values <= 24. The test also effectively detected the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage.

Scenario analysis for programmatic tuberculosis control in Bangladesh: a mathematical modelling study

Md Abdul Kuddus et al.

Summary: Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in Bangladesh, and mathematical modeling is considered an effective way to understand infection dynamics. Research found that enhanced case detection in single intervention strategies is most effective in reducing the burden of DS and MDR-TB, while combining additional interventions simultaneously leads to greater effectiveness in reducing the burden of MDR-TB.

Fabrication of a paper-based colorimetric molecular test for SARS-CoV-2

Jiangshan Wang et al.

Summary: The ongoing global economic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of diagnostic testing in limiting virus spread and safeguarding public health. A paper-based device utilizing RT-LAMP technology has been developed for quick and visible detection of SARS-CoV-2, which can be easily deployed in resource-limited areas as a supplement to current testing procedures. The platform is versatile, with potential applications in various fields by simply changing the specific primers used.

Comparison of seven commercial SARS-CoV-2 rapid point-of-care antigen tests: a single-centre laboratory evaluation study

Victor M. Corman et al.

Summary: This study compared the analytical sensitivity and specificity of seven commercially available antigen point-of-care test devices, showing that most devices have sensitivity overlapping with SARS-CoV-2 viral loads typically observed during the first week of symptoms, marking the infectious period in most patients. Antigen point-of-care tests with detection limits approximating virus concentrations at which patients are infectious may streamline decision-making in healthcare and public health.
