Delta variant unable to evade antibodies elicited by COVID-19 vaccination, finds study

Despite causing a surge in infections this summer that has resulted in thousands of hospitalizations and deaths, the delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 is not particularly good at evading the antibodies generated by vaccination, according to a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

How delta and kappa variants of SARS-CoV-2 evade the immune system

A new study, available on the bioRxiv* preprint server, describes the neutralizing ability of the monoclonal antibodies against the variants and the difference of the ACE2 binding affinity found in the variants.

Viral load could not predict transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, study finds

The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus is dependent on many factors. Although some in vitro studies indicate that the amount of virus isolated from infected individuals affects the successful rate of virus transmission, whether the viral load carried at the individual level can determine transmissibility was unknown.

Controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2 at a large public university

Researchers from the U.S. recently reported a multimodal "SHIELD: Target, Test, and Tell" program that helped mitigate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at a large public university. The program also prevented community transmission and helped the continuation of in-person classes during the pandemic. This study is available on the medRxiv* preprint server.
