Understanding the Role of SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a in Viral Pathogenesis and COVID-19

Jiantao Zhang et al.

Summary: This article reviews the current literature on the viral protein ORF3a of SARS-CoV-2, highlighting its role in viral pathogenesis and COVID-19. ORF3a is a polymorphic protein that interferes with ion channel activities, induces cellular immune and inflammatory responses, and leads to cell death and tissue damage. It continues to evolve to adapt to the human cellular environment. However, the effects of emerging ORF3a mutations and their role in COVID-19 are largely unknown.

Comparison of Saliva and Nasopharyngeal Swab Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing for Detection of SARS-CoV-2 A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Guillaume Butler-Laporte et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of saliva NAAT for COVID-19 and found that its accuracy is similar to that of nasopharyngeal swab NAAT, especially in ambulatory settings. This suggests the potential for saliva NAAT as an alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs and supports further research in this area.

Self-collected saliva for SARS-CoV-2 detection: A prospective study in the emergency room

Marcela Echavarria et al.

Summary: Saliva demonstrates high sensitivity (98%) and agreement (kappa 0.96) compared to nasopharyngeal swabs when using optimized home-brew PCR, even when the viral load in saliva is lower. This noninvasive sample is easy to collect, more comfortable for patients, and reduces exposure to healthcare personnel.

Performance of RT-PCR on Saliva Specimens Compared With Nasopharyngeal Swabs for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Children

Yves Fougere et al.

Summary: Saliva performs slightly less sensitively than nasopharyngeal swabs in detecting the presence of COVID-19, especially in younger children and patients with longer symptom duration. Comparing with nasopharyngeal swabs, saliva shows varying sensitivities in patients with different durations of symptoms, but it remains an attractive alternative in children.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 using qRT-PCR in saliva obtained from asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 patients, comparative analysis with matched nasopharyngeal samples

Kenji Ota et al.

Summary: The study compared quantitative RT-PCR results between nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva specimens from COVID-19 patients on a cruise ship in Nagasaki port, Japan. It found that saliva specimens had a higher positive rate and more accurate viral load detection compared to nasopharyngeal swabs, suggesting that saliva may be a reliable sample for SARS-CoV-2 detection.

Saliva Exhibits High Sensitivity and Specificity for the Detection of SARS-COV-2

Ibrahim Warsi et al.

Summary: Saliva, as a versatile specimen option, offers significant advantages in mass screening strategies for detecting SARS-COV-2. Through analysis of data from ten published clinical studies, a high degree of diagnostic sensitivity (87%) and specificity (98%) for SARS-COV-2 detection in saliva was established.
