Happy holidays from everyone at IIDS!

An NIH NIGMS supplement to the University of Idaho INBRE Program (PI: Carolyn Hovde Bohach) funded the retrospective genomic surveillance of 1168 covid-positive patient samples collected during the 2020-21 academic year via the U of I testing program. Understanding transmission dynamics of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 at universities is crucial because these settings have potential for rapid viral spread due to a young adult population predisposed to low disease severity. This research led to a recent publication in Scientific Reports from Kimberly R. Andrews, et al. - Genomic surveillance identifies potential risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 transmission at a mid-sized university in a small rural town.
