“Oro-faecal transmission of SARS-CoV-2: A systematic review of studies employing viral culture from gastrointestinal and other potential oro-faecal sources and evidence for transmission to humans” – published in Cambridge University Press.
This systematic review examines the presence of infectious SARS-CoV-2 in faecal and gastrointestinal samples and assesses its potential role in transmission.
Key insights from the study:
✅ Only 1.9% of the 308 faecal samples analyzed contained replication-competent virus.
✅ No direct evidence of human-to-human transmission via this route was found.
✅ Further research with standardized methods is essential to clarify the risks.
