Genomic epidemiology offers insight into the transmission and evolution of respiratory viruses. We used metagenomic sequencing from negative SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests to identify a wide range of respiratory viruses and generate full genome sequences. This process offers a streamlined mechanism for broad respiratory virus genomic surveillance.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus disease; molecular epidemiology; public health surveillance; respiratory infections; respiratory tract infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; zoonoses.
