Abstract
We used the incidence of spike gene target failures identified during PCR testing to provide an early projection of the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 variant B.1.1.7 in a university setting in Texas, USA, before sequencing results were available. Findings from a more recent evaluation validated those early projections.
Keywords: Alpha variant; B.1.1.7; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; Texas; coronavirus disease; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; testing; university; variant of concern; viruses; zoonoses.
