The City of Houston and Rice University have implemented a comprehensive, cost-effective system for monitoring community infection dynamics for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

 

We have also been working to expand our system to include additional targets, including:

 

• Respiratory Viruses: Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus

• MMR: Measles, Mumps, Rubella

• ARGs: NDM, IMP, VIM, OXA-48, KPC, rpoB

• Enteric Viruses: Astrovirus, Adenovirus 40/41, Norovirus GI, Norovirus GII, Rotavirus A, Sapovirus

• Other Pathogens: MPox, Candida auris, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, Campylobacter jejuni
