Quantitative SARS-CoV-2 Alpha Variant B.1.1.7 Tracking in Wastewater by Allele-Specific RT-qPCR
نویسندگان
چکیده
The critical need for surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 variants concern has prompted the development methods that can track in wastewater. Here, we develop and present an open-source method based on allele-specific RT-qPCR (AS RT-qPCR) detects quantifies B.1.1.7 variant, targeting spike protein mutations at three independent genomic loci are highly predictive (HV69/70del, Y144del, A570D). Our assays reliably detect quantify low levels with cross-reactivity, variant proportions down to 1% a background mixed SARS-CoV-2. Applying our wastewater samples from United States, occurrence over time 19 communities. AS results align clinical trends, summation wild-type sequences quantified by matches indicated U.S. CDC N1 N2 assays. This work paves way as rapid inexpensive

Experimental Protocol for Detecting SARS-CoV-2 in Screenings and Grit Samples of Wastewater Treatment Plants
Introduction: Although various liquid, solid, and gaseous streams of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been analyzed in many studies for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, no study was found to sample and detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in screenings and grit samples separated from primary treatment units of WWTP. Hence, this study aims to provide an experimental protocol for sampling and extracting ...
متن کاملSARS-CoV-2 infection: its psychiatric manifestations
Background: The clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection was initially dominated by respiratory symptoms. However the clinical spectrum is wide and neuropsychiatric syndromes are also a source of medical concern. Our aims are to present an atypical clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection characterized by auditory hallucinations and unusual behavior and to emphasize the diversity of ...
