    Manas K Akmatov
    Department of Epidemiology, Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, Braunschweig, Germany
    PLoS ONE 7:e48508. 2012
    ..This may be circumvented by having the participants collect their own nasal swabs. We compared self- and staff-collected swabs in terms of swabbing quality and detection of viral respiratory pathogens...
