Author summary The factors that facilitated the emergence and rapid dissemination of ZIKV in the Americas, and the specific role of strain variation and adaptive evolution in ZIKV transmission, are not fully understood. It has been shown that an...
The current RT-qPCR assay recommended for SARS-CoV-2 testing in the United States requires analysis of three genomic targets per sample: two viral and one host. This study describes a multiplex PCR that saves both reagents and labor while accurately...
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The recent news about the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization for SalivaDirect, a test for COVID-19 developed at Yale, highlighted the role that
Dengue fever cases currently reported in Europe are almost exclusively represented by infections associated with travel abroad. However, since 2010 sporadic autochthonous (local) Dengue transmissio…
Donors have been vital partners throughout the Yale School of Public Health’s history. A transformative gift launched the School in 1914 under the visionary stewardship of C.-E. A. Winslow. In recent years, our donors have provided the school with...
Current bottlenecks for improving accessibility and scalability of SARS-CoV-2 testing include diagnostic assay costs, complexity, and supply chain shortages. To resolve these issues, we developed SalivaDirect, which received Emergency Use...
Chantal Vogels@gkay92@OneHealthEnto@WUR You do awesome work @gkay92! I think it's a combination of factors like the ones you mention, but temperature is an important one too. In the past, summers were likely too cold for efficient transmission by🦟in northern Europe.
Here is my PhD thesis

In de regio Utrecht is een grasmus positief getest op het westnijlvirus. Dit virus komt vooral voor bij vogels en wordt overgedragen door muggen. Het is de eerste keer dat dit virus in Nederland is gevonden.

Regularly testing large numbers of people will play a huge role in monitoring transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Quickly detecting and isolating active cases – people who can transmit the virus, whe…
The YSPH-developed test, called SalivaDirect, has been used as part of an NBA testing program and will now be available to more diagnostic laboratories.
The FDA issued an emergency use authorization to Yale School of Public Health for SalivaDirect, a COVID-19 diagnostic test, using a new method of processing sal
