By Dr. Douglas Millar and Dr. John Melki From the edited volume Dengue Fever in a One Health Perspective – Latest Research and Recent Advances published by IntechOpen, January 19th, 2023 Abstract We have developed a novel strategy to simplify microbial nucleic acids termed 3base™. This technology uses the chemical sodium bisulphite to reduce the…

The need for accurate SARS-CoV-2 testing remains a priority. While nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs and PCR tests are considered the most sensitive and accurate, there is a need for simpler sample collection. Saliva has been investigated as an alternate sample type and validated in this study as a sampling method for SARS-CoV-2 detection. View our poster…
