Using viral load and epidemic dynamics to optimize pooled testing in resource-constrained settings
Using viral load and epidemic dynamics to optimize pooled testing in resource-constrained settings
Virological testing is central to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) containment, but many settings face severe limitations on testing. Group testing offers a way to increase throughput by testing pools of combined samples; however, most proposed designs have not yet addressed key concerns over sensitivity loss and implementation …
