Summary: The study reported the strategy leading to the first detection of the variant of concern 202012/01 (VOC) in France, by screening for mutations such as Delta H69/Delta V70 associated with VOC and identifying co-occurring mutations like S:N501Y.

Summary: Data on saliva specimens for diagnosing COVID-19 in ambulatory patients are limited and varied. This study found that supervised saliva collection performed comparably to nasopharyngeal swabs, showing that saliva is an acceptable specimen for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in the community setting.

Alexandre Gaymard et al.

Summary: The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 variant 201/501Y.V1 in France is concerning due to its increased transmissibility. Recent data shows that this variant is 52-69% more transmissible compared to previously circulating lineages, with a prevalence of 6.9% in the Paris region.

Infection sustained by lineage B.1.1.7 of SARS-CoV-2 is characterised by longer persistence and higher viral RNA loads in nasopharyngeal swabs

Paolo Calistri et al.

Summary: A targeted surveillance in the Abruzzo region of Italy detected 313 persons affected by lineage B.1.1.7, with statistically significant differences in viral load and persistence compared to other lineages. In individuals infected with B.1.1.7 lineage, lower values of C-T associated with the detection of the N protein encoding gene and longer persistence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs were observed.

S-Variant SARS-CoV-2 Lineage B1.1.7 Is Associated With Significantly Higher Viral Load in Samples Tested by TaqPath Polymerase Chain Reaction

Michael Kidd et al.

Summary: Analysis of recent test data shows that samples containing the SARS-CoV-2 variant B1.1.7 with mutation Delta 69/70 exhibit S gene target failure (SGTF) in ThermoFisher TaqPath RT-qPCR. Samples with SGTF profile are more likely to have higher viral loads, indicating higher infectivity and rapid spread of this variant.

Summary: The viral load of index cases is a key driver of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, while the viral load of contacts at baseline is strongly associated with the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 and shortening the incubation period in a dose-dependent manner.

SARS-CoV-2 evolution during treatment of chronic infection

Steven A. Kemp et al.

Summary: Chronic infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to viral evolution and increased resistance to neutralizing antibodies in immunosuppressed individuals treated with convalescent plasma. During convalescent plasma therapy, there were significant shifts in the viral population structure and sensitivity, suggesting strong selection pressure on the virus during treatment.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

Assessing transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Erik Volz et al.

Summary: Genetic and testing data from England indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 has a transmission advantage over other lineages, showing a rapid expansion during autumn 2020. Analysis of S gene target failures (SGTF) in community-based diagnostic PCR testing suggests that B.1.1.7 is more transmissible than non-variant of concern lineages and has a significant transmission advantage, with a reproduction number 50% to 100% higher. Additionally, cases of B.1.1.7 appear to include a larger share of under 20-year-olds compared to non-variant cases.

Are Posterior Oropharyngeal Saliva Specimens an Acceptable Alternative to Nasopharyngeal Sampling for the Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in Primary-Care Settings?

Shirley Masse et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of using posterior oropharyngeal saliva samples for virological surveillance of COVID-19 in general practice. The results suggest that saliva samples could be an attractive alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in patients with acute respiratory infections in primary care.

Estimating infectiousness throughout SARS-CoV-2 infection course

Terry C. Jones et al.

Summary: In a study of SARS-CoV-2 cases in Germany, it was found that younger subjects had lower viral loads but higher cell culture replication probabilities compared to older subjects. Additionally, 8% of subjects had viral loads above 10(9) copies per swab, with a third of them being presymptomatic, asymptomatic, or mildly symptomatic individuals with a mean age of 37.6 years. The B.1.1.7 lineage infections had a higher viral load and cell culture replication probability than non-B.1.1.7 subjects.

Summary: A study conducted in Germany from January to June 2021 found that the Alpha variant was predominant among pediatric patients, but there was no evidence to suggest that children infected with the Alpha variant displayed more severe symptoms or had a more severe clinical course. Common symptoms included fever, cough, and rhinitis.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the viral load dynamics, duration of viral shedding, and viable virus shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in various body fluids. The findings suggest that while SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding can be prolonged in respiratory and stool samples, the duration of viable virus shedding is relatively short-lived.
