SARS-CoV-2 transmission in teenagers and young adults in Fútbol Club Barcelona’s multidisciplinary sports training academy
(Elsevier, 2023)
Most studies, aimed at determining the incidence and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in children and teenagers, have been developed in school settings. Our study conducted surveillance and inferred attack ...
Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the nasopharyngeal microbiota of children and adults self-confined at home
(MDPI, 2022)
The increased incidence of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Spain in March 2020 led to the declaration by the Spanish government of a state of emergency imposing strict confinement measures on the population. ...
Validation and implementation of a direct RT-qPCR method for rapid screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection by using non-invasive saliva samples
(Elsevier, 2021)
Objective: To validate and implement an optimized screening method for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA combining use of self-collected raw saliva samples, ...
Individual prevention and containment measures in schools in Catalonia, Spain, and community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 after school re-opening
(Public Library of Science, 2022)
Background: Despite their clear lesser vulnerability to COVID-19, the extent by which children are susceptible to getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 and their capacity to transmit the infection to other ...
The positive rhinovirus/enterovirus detection and SARS-CoV-2 persistence beyond the acute infection phase: an intra-household surveillance study
(MDPI, 2021)
We aimed to assess the duration of nasopharyngeal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA persistence in adults self-confined at home after acute infection; and to identify the ...
Antibody conversion rates to SARS-CoV-2 in saliva from children attending summer schools in Barcelona, Spain
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Background: Surveillance tools to estimate viral transmission dynamics in young populations are essential to guide recommendations for school opening and management during viral epidemics. Ideally, ...
Individual prevention and containment measures in schools in Catalonia, Spain, and community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 after school re-opening
(Public Library of Science, 2022)
Background: Despite their clear lesser vulnerability to COVID-19, the extent by which children are susceptible to getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 and their capacity to transmit the infection to other ...
Multiplex antibody analysis of IgM, IgA and IgG to SARS-CoV-2 in saliva and serum from infected children and their close contacts
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
COVID-19 affects children to a lesser extent than adults but they can still get infected and transmit SARS-CoV-2 to their contacts. Field deployable non-invasive sensitive diagnostic techniques are ...
Low transmission of SARS-CoV-2 derived from children in family clusters: an observational study of family households in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, Spain
(Public Library of Science, 2022)
Background: Family clusters offer a good opportunity to study viral transmission in a stable setting. We aimed to analyze the specific role of children in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within households. ...
