Background Oral health status is associated with the overall health among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, it is unclear whether dental caries is associated with the viral load in this population.

Kinetics of Zika Viral Load in Semen
A study conducted in French Guiana showed that not all men who are symptomatically infected with Zika virus have ZIKV RNA detectable in semen. In addition, the average duration of detection in semen was shorter than has been reported previously.

An SIR model with viral load-dependent transmission
AbstractThe 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 individualsâ 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.

Population levels and geographical distribution of HIV RNA in rural Ugandan and Kenyan communities, including serodiscordant couples: a cross-sectional analysis. [PDF]
BackgroundAs sub-Saharan Africa transitions to a new era of universal antiretroviral therapy (ART), up-to-date assessments of population-level HIV RNA suppression are needed to inform interventions to optimise ART delivery.

Saliva viral load is a dynamic unifying correlate of COVID-19 severity and mortality
While several clinical and immunological parameters correlate with disease severity and mortality in SARS-CoV-2 infection, work remains in identifying unifying correlates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that can be used to guide clinical practice.

Is Higher Viral Load in the Upper Respiratory Tract Associated With Severe Pneumonia? Findings From the PERCH Study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND.: The etiologic inference of identifying a pathogen in the upper respiratory tract (URT) of children with pneumonia is unclear. To determine if viral load could provide evidence of causality of pneumonia, we compared viral load in the URT of ...

In vivo antiviral host transcriptional response to SARS-CoV-2 by viral load, sex, and age
Despite limited genomic diversity, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has shown a wide range of clinical manifestations in different patient populations. The mechanisms behind these host differences are still unclear.
