  • Sequencing analysis of Sars-CoV-2 cases in Slovenian long-term care facilities to support outbreak control

    Open AccessRok Kogoj, Manja Grašek et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are at high risk of morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19, especially when new variants of concern (VOC) emerge. To provide intradisciplinary data in order to tailor public health interventions during future epidemics, available epidemiologic and genomic data from Slovenian LTCFs during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic was analyzed.

  • A simplified nasopharyngeal swab collection procedure for minimizing patient discomfort while retaining sample quality

    Open AccessTina Uršič, Rok Kogoj et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    A nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) is the most frequently collected sample type when molecular diagnosis of respiratory viruses, including SARS CoV-2, is required. An optimal collection technique would provide sufficient sample quality for the diagnostic process and would minimize the discomfort felt by the patient. This study compares a simplified NPS collection procedure with only one rotation of the swab to a more standard procedure with five rotatio…
