Transmission of SARS-CoV-2: A Review of Viral, Host, and Environmental Factors

Eric A. Meyerowitz et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, primarily spreads through respiratory transmission, with infectiousness peaking around a day before symptom onset. Most individuals do not transmit the virus, while a few can cause super-spreading events.

Summary: A fast and accurate self-testing tool for COVID-19 diagnosis is crucial for understanding the global situation and taking appropriate actions. The diagnosis tools available mainly rely on viral gene detection, human antibody detection, and viral antigen detection, with RT-PCR being the most reliable technique.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients in Earlier Stages Exhaled Millions of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Per Hour

Jianxin Ma et al.

Summary: COVID-19 patients exhale millions of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA copies per hour, which is crucial in the transmission of the disease. Exhaled breath has a higher positivity rate compared to surface and air samples, indicating its potential role in spreading the virus.

Barnaby E. Young et al.

Summary: The study found that virus viability correlated with lower PCR Ct values in early illness, and a stronger antibody response was associated with disease severity. Overactive proinflammatory immune signatures provide potential targets for host-directed immunotherapy.

Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2

Bernd Salzberger et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 primarily spreads through droplets and aerosols, with most infections being uncomplicated but 5-10% of patients requiring hospitalization, mainly due to respiratory and multiorgan failure. Risk factors for complications include older age, hypertension, diabetes, chronic cardiovascular disease, etc. Various countries have implemented strict control measures resulting in low attack rates.

Cristina de la Calle et al.

Summary: The aim of the study was to investigate if the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 upon admission, measured by rRT-PCR Ct value on nasopharyngeal samples, is a marker of disease severity.

Association Between Upper Respiratory Tract Viral Load, Comorbidities, Disease Severity, and Outcome of Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Helena C. Maltezou et al.

Summary: Analysis of 1122 COVID-19 patients revealed that high upper respiratory tract viral load was associated with older age, comorbidities, severe disease (COVID-19), intubation, and mortality, as well as longer stays in the intensive care unit and intubation time. High viral load was also more common in patients with chronic cardiovascular disease, hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, immunosuppression, obesity, and chronic neurological disease.

Exhaled SARS-CoV-2 quantified by face-mask sampling in hospitalised patients with COVID-19

Caroline M. Williams et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a simple and effective method for detecting and quantifying exhaled SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Higher FMS viral loads were more likely to be associated with developing severe disease compared to NPS viral loads. Similar to NPS, FMS viral load was highest in early disease and in those with active respiratory symptoms, highlighting the potential role of FMS in understanding infectivity.
