| Are sewers a gold mine of epidemiological data? Applying the ARTIC approach to wastewater | Post | What is wastewater-based epidemiology? Interest in wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) peaked during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; a number of governments turned to it in the hope of informing their strategy to manage the virus at a time when balancing economic needs with protecting public... |
| Measles sequencing update | Post | Summary We have recently developed the artic-measles/400/v1.0.0 primer scheme (labs). This scheme has been designed to account for all genetic variation present across all Measles virus (MeV) serotypes, allowing it to be used for samples of unknown (clinical samples) or mixed (environmental surveillance) serotypes. This scheme... |
| Opportunity to Join Pathoplexus, Loculus, & ARTIC 2 | Post | Are you excited by the idea of building global infrastructure to make pathogen sequencing more accessible, interpretable, and equitable? The Epidemiology and Virus Evolution (EVE) Group at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) is offering a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of world-leading... |
| Genome assemblies for a respiratory metagenomics positive control | Post | Clinical metagenomics uses complex laboratory protocols to detect DNA and RNA from viral and bacterial pathogens. For best results, different sample types—from viscous sputum to blood with high host background—demand specific handling. For reliable routine diagnostics, these methods must detect pathogens both sensitively and precisely, demanding robust control specimens and... |
