Incubation Period of COVID-19 Caused by Unique SARS-CoV-2 Strains A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Yu Wu et al.

Summary: The study suggests that SARS-CoV-2 has continuously evolved and mutated during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving rise to variants with different transmission capabilities and virulence. Identifying the incubation period of different variants is crucial in determining the isolation period.

Comparing Nasopharyngeal Swab and Early Morning Saliva for the Identification of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Mohan Rao et al.

Summary: This study shows that saliva is a better alternative specimen for detecting SARS-CoV-2. The detection rate of SARS-CoV-2 was higher in saliva compared to NPS, and saliva collection is simple and can reduce exposure to healthcare workers.

Relative Sensitivity of Saliva and Upper Airway Swabs for Initial Detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Ambulatory Patients

Timothy J. O'Leary

Summary: A systematic review comparing saliva and upper airway samples for COVID-19 testing found that nasopharyngeal swabs are slightly more sensitive than saliva samples, especially in early disease diagnosis in ambulatory patients. However, the difference is not significant, and the reduced need for personal protective equipment for saliva sampling may justify the difference.

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.

Saliva sample for the massive screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection: a systematic review

Martin Gonzalez Canete et al.

Summary: This systematic review indicates that saliva could be a suitable, fast, painless, simple, and noninvasive sample for detecting SARS-CoV-2, making it ideal for mass screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The sensitivity of saliva ranged from 20% to 97%, and the specificity ranged from 66% to 100%, showing its potential as a reliable alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs.

Prolonged Unfrozen Storage and Repeated Freeze-Thawing of SARS-CoV-2 Patient Samples Have Minor Effects on SARS-CoV-2 Detectability by RT-PCR

Andreas Dzung et al.

Summary: This study shows that viral RNA levels are relatively stable at higher temperatures and after repetitive freeze-thawing, but storage conditions can have an impact on RT-PCR detection results.

Diagnostic performance of different sampling approaches for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Nicole Ngai Yung Tsang et al.

Summary: This study systematically compared the diagnostic performance of different clinical specimen collection methods for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pooled nasal and throat swabs showed the highest sensitivity and positive predictive value, while saliva and nasal swabs also demonstrated good diagnostic performance. Throat swabs had a significantly lower sensitivity and positive predictive value and were not recommended for diagnosis. Self-collection for pooled nasal and throat swabs and nasal swabs did not affect diagnostic accuracy.

Stability of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Nonsupplemented Saliva

Isabel M. Ott et al.

Summary: Although saliva collection devices designed to stabilize SARS-CoV-2 RNA are expensive, the virus RNA in non-supplemented saliva remains stable for extended periods even at elevated temperatures. Simple plastic tubes for saliva collection can facilitate large-scale testing and continuous surveillance.
