An SIR model with viral load-dependent transmission [PDF]
J. Math. Biol., 86(4), 61:1-28, 2023, 2022 The viral load is known to be a chief predictor of the risk of transmission of infectious diseases. In this work, we investigate the role of the individuals' viral load in the disease transmission by proposing a new susceptible-infectious-recovered epidemic model for the densities and mean viral loads of each compartment.

SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA levels are not 'viral load' [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2021 Ct values are commonly used as proxy of SARS-CoV-2 “viral load”. Because of the (+)ssRNA nature of coronaviruses, current RT-qPCR target amplification does not distinguish replicative from transcriptional RNA. Although Ct values analyses through time, space and biological backgrounds remain informative, equating Ct with viral load may generate ...

SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load Is Correlated With the Disease Severity and Mortality in Patients With Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 The correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load and risk of disease severity in cancer patients is poorly understood.

Causal, Bayesian, & Non-parametric Modeling of the SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load Distribution vs. Patient's Age [PDF]
PLoS ONE 17(10): e0275011 (2022), 2021 The viral load of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 varies on logarithmic scales and possibly with age. Controversial claims have been made in the literature regarding whether the viral load distribution actually depends on the age of the patients. Such a dependence would have implications for the COVID-19 spreading mechanism, the age-dependent immune ...

Near point-of-care HIV viral load testing: Cascade after high viral load in suburban Yangon, Myanmar
PLoS ONE, 2023 Introduction HIV viral load (VL) testing in resource-limited settings is often centralised, limiting access. In Myanmar, we assessed outcomes according to VL access and the VL cascade (case management after a first high VL result) before and after near ...
