Overview

Clinical surveillance identifies SARS-CoV-2 infections and viral evolution in 1.4 million saliva samples, suggesting effective outbreak detection.

Key Points

  • Real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 infections enabled the identification of 94,330 cases from saliva specimens tested.
  • Whole genome sequencing confirmed the presence of 54,040 high-quality genomes, linking infections to novel variants.
  • The study implemented a surveillance program in Arizona, utilizing self-collected saliva to enhance testing accessibility and accuracy.
  • This approach highlights the potential for saliva as a scalable and practical method for infectious disease surveillance in future pandemics.
