Stage specific response
Dependencies
Next steps
Disease stage specific response
Research Question
- Understanding the asymptomatic infection role in infection transmission
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Relation between nucleic acid/serologically +ve patients and infectiveness
- Disease stage specific response is highly dependent on specific CoVs and the host species
- Discover how enteric CoVs differ to respiratory CoVs
- Diagnostics of asymptomatic cases
Solution Routes
- Approach it in a case-by-case manner
Dependencies
- Clear definition of disease stages across species
