ABSTRACT
The US–Japan Cooperative Medical Sciences Program, a 56-year-old bilateral program, has convened the International Conferences on Emerging Infectious Diseases in the Pacific Rim in different countries in the Asia–Pacific region since 1996 (1,2). Because of the ongoing pandemic, the annual conference could not convene in person. In a presentation that outlined the serologic characteristic of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the latest technologic advances aimed at increasing sensitivity and specificity of viral infection diagnostics, the speaker noted the importance of considering the disease prevalence and the influence of factors, such as age and disease severity, among different groups within a population in developing assay platforms, and a need for the development of SARS-CoV-2–specific IgA diagnostic tests.
