cord-349712-7xte6v2q	Linde, Annika	Letter to the editor	2016-08-08		.txt	text/plain	520	30	48	1 Of importance is that already in the beginning of 2015, we showed in our research work that nasal self-sampling is feasible in large-scale surveillance of respiratory infections. 2 We developed a scheme for self-sampling with nasal swabs as part of the study of work environment and disease epidemiology-infections (SWEDE-I). The cohort consisted of 2,237 men and women aged 25-63 years old, who reported all instances of respiratory tract infection or gastroenteritis from September 2011 to May 2012, and sent their self-sampled nasal swabs for analysis, by regular mail. Our findings show that nasal self-sampling is feasible in large-scale surveillance of respiratory infections, and opens up new prospects for population-based, virologically verified research on virus spread, burden of disease, and effects of environmental factors or interventions.
