SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Surveillance from Community-Distributed Rapid Antigen Tests, Wisconsin, USA
In the United States, SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance initially relied almost entirely on residual diagnostic specimens from nucleic acid amplification–based tests. However, use of those tests waned after the end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11, 2023. In Dane County, Wisconsin, we partnered with local- and state-level public health agencies and the South Central Library System to continue genomic surveillance by obtaining SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences from freely available community rapid antigen tests (RATs). During August 15, 2023–February 29, 2024, we received 227 RAT samples, from which we generated 127 sequences with >10× depth of coverage for >90% of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. In a subset of tests, lower cycle threshold values correlated with sequence success. Our results demonstrated that collecting and sequencing results from RATs in partnership with community sites is a practical approach for sustaining SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
