  1. Genomic surveillance reveals dynamic shifts in the connectivity of COVID-19 epidemics.

    Cell · 2023 · 186(26): 5690-5704.e20

    The maturation of genomic surveillance in the past decade has enabled tracking of the emergence and spread of epidemics at an unprecedented level. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, genomic data revealed that local epidemics varied considerably in the frequency …

  2. Wastewater sequencing reveals early cryptic SARS-CoV-2 variant transmission.

    Nature · 2022 · 609(7925): 101-108

    As SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve, detecting emerging variants early is critical for public health interventions. Inferring lineage prevalence by clinical testing is infeasible at scale, especially in areas with limited resources, participation, or testing and/or sequencing capacity, which …

    PMID 35798029 DOI ↗

  3. Implementation of Practical Surface SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in School Settings.

    mSystems · 2022 · 7(4): e0010322

    Surface sampling for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection has shown considerable promise to detect exposure of built environments to infected individuals shedding virus who would not otherwise be detected. Here, we compare two popular sampling media (VTM and SDS) and two popular …

  4. Wastewater sequencing uncovers early, cryptic SARS-CoV-2 variant transmission.

    medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences · 2022

    As SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve, detecting emerging variants early is critical for public health interventions. Inferring lineage prevalence by clinical testing is infeasible at scale, especially in areas with limited resources, participation, or testing/sequencing capacity, which can also …

    PMID 35411350 DOI ↗

  5. The ViReflow pipeline enables user friendly large scale viral consensus genome reconstruction.

    Scientific reports · 2022 · 12(1): 5077

    Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, massive sequencing and data sharing efforts enabled the real-time surveillance of novel SARS-CoV-2 strains throughout the world, the results of which provided public health officials with actionable information to prevent the spread of the virus. However, …

    PMID 35332213 DOI ↗

  6. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA Persistence across Indoor Surface Materials Reveals Best Practices for Environmental Monitoring Programs.

    mSystems · 2021 · 6(6): e0113621

    Environmental monitoring in public spaces can be used to identify surfaces contaminated by persons with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and inform appropriate infection mitigation responses. Research groups have reported detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on surfaces …

    PMID 34726486 DOI ↗

  7. Zika virus is transmitted in neural progenitor cells via cell-to-cell spread and infection is inhibited by the autophagy inducer trehalose.

    Journal of virology · 2021 · 95(5)

    Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne human pathogen that causes congenital Zika syndrome and neurological symptoms in some adults. There are currently no approved treatments or vaccines for ZIKV, and exploration of therapies targeting host processes could avoid viral development …

    PMID 33328307 DOI ↗

  8. Handwashing and Detergent Treatment Greatly Reduce SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load on Halloween Candy Handled by COVID-19 Patients.

    mSystems · 2020 · 5(6)

    <i><b>Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and potential public health implications, we are publishing this peer-reviewed manuscript in its accepted form. The final, copyedited version of the paper will be available at a later date.</b></i> Although SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted by …
