Abstract
An important aspect of microbiological surveillance is the ability to access live viruses for microneutralization assays, which enables the study of viral characteristics and mechanisms in vitro and production of positive controls for diagnostic methods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Agency of Sweden established a protocol for the rapid collection of clinical samples and subsequent isolation of novel virus variants.
期刊介绍:
Health Security is a peer-reviewed journal providing research and essential guidance for the protection of people’s health before and after epidemics or disasters and for ensuring that communities are resilient to major challenges. The Journal explores the issues posed by disease outbreaks and epidemics; natural disasters; biological, chemical, and nuclear accidents or deliberate threats; foodborne outbreaks; and other health emergencies. It offers important insight into how to develop the systems needed to meet these challenges. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Health Security covers research, innovations, methods, challenges, and ethical and legal dilemmas facing scientific, military, and health organizations. The Journal is a key resource for practitioners in these fields, policymakers, scientific experts, and government officials.
