Study suggests potential therapeutic targets for COVID-19-related neurological pathologies

In a recent study published in the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, researchers analyzed the proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained from African green monkeys and rhesus macaques infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 to understand the neurological manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Study reveals SARS-CoV-2 on hands and frequently-touched surfaces as key predictors of household transmission

A study investigating risk factors and vectors of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) household transmission reveals that the presence of the virus on the hands of primary and secondary cases and on frequently-touched surfaces is associated with transmission risk. The study is published in the journal THE LANCET Microbe.

Research finds SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant to be more fatal than seasonal influenza

Adults hospitalized with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant have a higher death rate than those hospitalized with seasonal influenza, even though Omicron is considered less virulent with lower case fatality rates than the delta and alpha strains, new research being presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen, Denmark (15-18 April) suggests.

Prevalence of long-COVID among English schoolchildren: Study reveals wide-ranging impacts on health and wellbeing

Scientists have estimated the prevalence of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) conditions among schoolchildren in England. They have also assessed the presence of persisting symptoms among schoolchildren with or without a history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
