Biorepositories (biobanks) of human body fluids and materials as archives for tracing early infections of COVID-19.

摘要: Identifying the individuals and geographical regions witnessing early infections or outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 its variants is helpful for studying epidemiology even origin novel coronavirus. Here, we put forward a strategy that can potentially contribute to this goal. Human body fluids biological materials collected before COVID-19 pandemic may serve as archives retrospective testing human recent outbreaks. These have been routinely donated, collected, archived, creating biorepositories "biobanks" clinical research purposes. genetic antibodies confirmed in various types samples from patients, including blood, sperm, umbilical cord lung, heart, kidney so on, making these candidates detecting infections. Unlike sewage-based which only provides information on aspect, viruses identified archived provide direct links individuals, whom wealth personal their profession, hobbies activities, travel history, previous exposure wildlife all be retrieved. By analyzing patterns behavior those infected it possible trace virus, instance, certain wild animals local environments.
