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 ...
