Amplified parallel antigen rapid test for point-of-care salivary detection of SARS-CoV-2 with improved sensitivity

Danny Jian Hang Tng et al.

Summary: This study reports an Amplified Parallel ART (AP-ART) that can quickly detect the COVID-19 virus with high sensitivity, even when using non-fasted saliva samples. Compared to existing techniques, AP-ART achieved a lower limit of detection. This new method has the potential to be used for rapid testing in resource-limited settings and play a crucial role in early diagnosis.

Infectious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Exhaled Aerosols and Efficacy of Masks During Early Mild Infection

Oluwasanmi O. Adenaiye et al.

Summary: Exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosols are infectious and the virus is evolving to generate more efficient aerosols. Loose-fitting masks can moderately reduce viral aerosol release, but to protect vulnerable individuals in public-facing jobs and indoor spaces, ventilation, filtration, UV air sanitation, and tight-fitting masks are needed.

Comparing Nasopharyngeal and Midturbinate Nasal Swab Testing for the Identification of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Swetha Pinninti et al.

Summary: Testing of paired midturbinate nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs from 40 COVID-19 patients showed a higher positivity rate in nasopharyngeal swabs compared to midturbinate swabs. Additionally, a week after enrollment, midturbinate samples had a significantly lower positivity rate compared to nasopharyngeal samples.

Mass Screening of Asymptomatic Persons for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Using Saliva

Isao Yokota et al.

Summary: This mass screening study showed that both NPS and saliva specimens had high sensitivity and specificity, with self-collected saliva specimens being valuable for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in mass screening of asymptomatic individuals. Viral load was highly correlated between NPS and saliva specimens in individuals testing positive.

The role of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic infection in SARS- CoV-2 transmission-a living systematic review

Xueting Qiu et al.

Summary: This living review critically appraised available data on secondary attack rates from individuals with asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic, and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study found that asymptomatic index cases generally caused lower secondary infection rates, with the highest rates in contacts living in the same household as the index case and engaging in group activities with the index case.

Sensitivity of midturbinate versus nasopharyngeal swabs for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Alainna J. Jamal et al.

Summary: The sensitivity of nasopharyngeal swabs for COVID-19 diagnosis was found to be higher compared to midturbinate swabs, while combining midturbinate swabs with saliva resulted in even higher sensitivity rates.

Performance of Saliva, Oropharyngeal Swabs, and Nasal Swabs for SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Detection: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Rose A. Lee et al.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs are considered the best sample for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2, but saliva, oropharyngeal (OP), nasal (NS) swabs, and combinations of OP/NS are promising alternatives. While some alternative samples had lower detection rates, a combination of OP/NS showed comparable performance to NP swabs. The absence of RNA extraction (saliva) and use of a more sensitive nucleic acid amplification test (NS) significantly reduced the positive yield of alternative samples.

Saliva is more sensitive than nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs for diagnosis of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 infection

Alvin Kuo Jing Teo et al.

Summary: The study found saliva to be a sensitive sample for COVID-19 diagnosis, with a higher positivity rate compared to nasopharyngeal and self-administered nasal swabs. Cycle threshold values were lower across all sample types during the early stage of infection.
